I completely forgot to take pictures of the room due to being on the go. Smh! There is a gym and inside pool.

Gym available Inside pool (But, read below) Now for the price some things needs to be taken care off properly like the room, almost broken toilet paper holder, things on carpet. This is not acceptable. The inside pool is nice but it is like ice cold and then there is no shower place either before or after shower. The breakfast is free and the Egyptian person managing is also great but there is no toast available. I was told Marriott have removed toast from all their hotel chain breakfast menus. That's so weird!!! Why would you do that? I expected this to be better than days inn or comfort inn but sadly it's not and the only thing different is the price.

I am sorry to be writing this. Truly. The staff at the DoubleTree in Somerset are as fine and…read morehardworking a collection of people as you could ever hope to meet. The two young women at the front desk who checked me in were patient, cheerful, and far more professional than the setting deserved. Every bartender, housekeeper, and maintenance worker I encountered seemed to care. They smiled, they helped, they tried. But the hotel itself feels like a tired old animal that wants to lie down and not get up again. The carpets are worn to the color of defeat, the furniture bears scars that tell too many stories, and the bathrooms are so dated that one half expects to find a rotary phone beside the toilet. Mold creeps in at the edges, as mold always does when no one can quite afford to keep it out. Half the television channels work, depending on the phase of the moon, and which half are the functioning half varies by the minute. The meeting rooms, which must have once been proud places of corporate ambition, now feel like basements dressed up for a sad party. The chairs wobble. The microphones hum. The food, both in the restaurant and in the conference meals, tastes as though it has been waiting in a freezer since the first Clinton administration. The same tired buffet appears every year, as predictable as gravity, and the boxed lunches inspire no one. One of my colleagues got trapped in an elevator. It took the engineering team to pry her and a handful of Junior League hockey players out, and the emergency call speaker crackled like a ghost from a dying transistor radio. What makes this review hard to write is that none of this is the fault of the people who work there. They are doing their best in a place that has been abandoned by the gods investment. If the ownership put half the care into the property that the employees put into their jobs, this could be a wonderful hotel. As it stands, it is my least favorite conference center by a wide margin, and that is saying something. Still, I hope the staff know they are appreciated. They deserve a better stage than this one.

If I were to write a headline for this review, it would be: Lots of Space but Tired Rooms. And…read moresince we need lots of space, we've stayed here many times. Most of the accommodations are similar, we've stayed in both one bedroom and two bedroom suites. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. The complimentary breakfast is basic, and typically includes bagels, English muffins, cereal, scrambled eggs (which are usually cool not hot), a breakfast meat (sausage patty, bacon, etc.) and a premade breakfast sandwich. The suites have full kitchens with Spartan but adequate pots, pans and dishes. The TVs are large and located in both the living room and bedroom(s), the beds are quite comfortable, but the living room sofas are not! They are probably the least comfortable sofa I've used when traveling. The closets are large, but many of the folding closet doors do not work well (or at all). Bottom line, if you want to stay in this area, and need space for children or to work, this is an adequate choice.

I have been staying at Marriott hotels for last 8 months for my treatment and this is the worst place I ever stayed. Not just the uncleanliness and the odor but the attitude from Karen the manager. Obviously from reading the reviews they do have odor issues but she lied to me. I sprayed a heavy duty febreeze but it didn't help at all. Never ever experienced such an obnoxious and heartless manager on duty. I bled during sleep from this stressful experience. I was crying and begging for refund for remaining 9 nights of my stay but she refused but eventually she charged me an extra night and gave me a refund for 8 nights. She charged me an extra night but informed me to leave in an hour. I hope she will never have to deal with cancer herself to have a decent heart.

Heard pre-COVID times, the area was bustling with many corporate companies who hosted their holiday parties here and had employees who reported to the office full time. Now? A number moved out so it's a sleepy little area. The set up has a nice lobby that opens up into a very open courtyard full of tropical houseplants but times a thousand - because you know fiddle leaf fig plants can grow that high but now you can see them going at it. I have spotted staff hand watering everything - that's dedication! I thought they had an irrigation system. The lobby also hosts a breakfast buffet; you need to show your ticket on the weekends but not the weekdays. The breakfast buffet is a pretty decent spread! They have your usual continental breakfast items like scrambled eggs [from a carton], potatoes, meats, French toast, bread (toast, muffins, English muffins, bagels), cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, DIY waffles, and an omelette/pancake station. They also have drink dispensers for juice, milk, soda (??), and coffee. We're vegetarians and the omelette station is key! One of my kids has multiple food allergies and I'm sad to say they're not terribly helpful on that front. In fact, they're not great with any questions about ingredients (we also don't eat alliums). That is to say that "no, I don't know what kind of cereal it is" was the response I got. They store cereal in dispensers with no names. My kid can have the PLAIN cheerios but NOT the Honey Nut version. In fact, he's pretty much allergic to everything they have there except for yogurt (but only the bulk yogurt and not the individual cups) and juice so I started bringing down food for him. Note: many hotels offer coffee throughout the day. This place does not. Everything is closed down once breakfast is over... including the coffee "bar". Both visits, we got rooms on the 3rd floor... and they were ironically adjacent. The rooms themselves seem clean but after watching staff walk into the rooms with shoes to clean up or check on things... it's not clean. Each suite has a common area, a mini kitchen with fridge, microwave, and sink, and that's separated by a door from the bedroom and the adjoining bathroom. Water pressure both times is mediocre. It takes me longer to wash my hair. They do provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that is secured to the wall... I'm not sure they they do a very thorough job cleaning because on my second visit, the body wash was completely out from the first day. The pool! They have one and it's indoors, but not the biggest. It includes a hot tub and they provide towels there. It does not have a life guard on duty but that's normal for hotel pools. It can get very crowded on the weekends so we visited in the middle of the day on a weekday. Overall, I do like this hotel. The breakfast is a good start to the day. I love the courtyard and the plants. I saw trucks pulling people on sleds in the empty parking lots after it snowed my first visit. The rooms themselves are pretty nice! Internet speed is decent.

The front desk personnel are uninviting too--not welcoming or pleasant. We had a large suite, but surfaces were dented, scratched, and in need painting. Carpets were worn and totally threadbare in places. The kitchen area had no utensils or plates. It was only good for making coffee. There was no bedside table on one side of the bed which meant there was no surface to put anything on and no lamp. Towels were thin and poor quality. We were looking forward to using the pool with our grandson, but the water was frigid, making it impossible to go in. The lounges had disgusting, filthy cushions. I shudder to think how many years of sweat have accumulated on them. The spa was closed the whole weekend we visited. It's overall a sad, old hotel.

It did not collapse, which felt like an appropriate baseline. The lobby tries very hard. High ceilings, a sense of occasion, the faint suggestion that important people once gathered here to discuss important things. Then you reach the room and the illusion loosens its tie. I had a corner king. It was enormous. Vast, even. You could host a small philosophy class in there, Socratic circle and all. Unfortunately, the room looked like it had already hosted several and lost all of the debates that happened there. The furniture was worn, the decor dated, and everything felt just a little too tired to argue back. In the elevator, an older gentleman joined me. He looked around, nodded once, and said, "this place sure isn't what it used to be." Then he got off. I believed him immediately. The hotel exists in a very convenient location, which is clearly its greatest strength. You can walk to restaurants, to the university, to the train station, to wherever it is you need to be. But convenience is not the same as comfort. Service feels inconsistent. Sometimes friendly, sometimes distracted, as if everyone is working from slightly different instructions. The amenities are a gamble. Some are limited, some unavailable, some simply not what you expected when you booked. There are also fees that appear with a quiet confidence, including valet parking that loudly reminds you your car now belongs to a system larger than yourself. Nothing here is terrible in isolation. That is the trick. It is all just a bit off. Slightly worn. Slightly overpriced for what you get. And so you leave with the feeling that you visited a memory rather than a hotel. A place that still stands, still functions, but no longer quite believes in itself.

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites North Brunswick seems content to drift somewhere in the middle, like a tired commuter floating down Route 1. I arrived around 4:00 PM last weekend to find the lobby empty except for one poor soul already hollering "Hello!" into the void like a man trying to contact the dead. By the time an employee emerged from the back room, four parties had formed a small, weary congregation around the front desk. Not the warmest beginning. To her credit, the woman who checked me in was genuinely pleasant. She acknowledged my Platinum status and upgraded us to a suite without my asking, which ended up as less of a luxury and more like being handed the least bruised apple in the barrel. Still, kindness counts. The suite itself was another matter. Nothing horrifying. No crime scene outlines or raccoons operating the ice machine. Just a general sense of neglect. Dingy carpets, worn furniture, the sort of room that makes you wonder how many rolling suitcases and defeated business travelers have passed through before you. The next morning around 10:15, I went downstairs hoping for coffee strong enough to convince me civilization was still worth preserving. Only decaf remained. I attempted to inform the gentleman at the front desk, but he was deeply committed to a personal cell phone conversation and seemed unwilling to let his job duties interrupt it. Nothing terrible happened here. Nothing memorable either. It is a hotel that exists, nothing more and nothing less. Three stars.
