"On the expressway to your heart That expressway, not the…read morebest way At five o'clock It's much too crowded" (The Soul Survivors) Located right off the Long Island Expressway, and a few zig zags through industrial and retail parking lots, you'll find the Residence Inn Marriott. Check-in went smoothly and we had a very nice suite-like room with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, sink area, and bathroom. The bed was comfy, the HVAC controls worked fine, and the TV and WIFI were excellent. The shower temperature and pressure were perfect. However, there were some Annoying, Disappointing, and Absurd observations that impacted this three-star rating. What was Annoying? The bathroom fan and shower were guilty of annoyance in the first degree. When you turned on the light switch, the ceiling fan would slowly fire up and soon hit such a loud volume that I thought someone in the room next door was taking a shower. And then when we were taking our showers, there was a bizarre beeping noise that came from deep within the bowels of the plumbing system. Seriously, I thought it was an alarm or a phone beeping. What was Disappointing? Simply put, breakfast was disappointing. They had had the usual breakfast offerings -cereal, muffins, yogurt, fruit, and a waffle maker. But there were only two hot trays -scrambled eggs and sausage patties. The lack of hot choices when compared to comparable hotel breakfasts was disappointing. Oh, and the tray of bananas was empty for quite a while, and we gave up waiting for it to be replenished. What was Absurd? This hotel is in an open suburban space next to a shopping center and a movie theater. I looked out the window of my room and must have seen 75 available parking spots in the hotel lot. So, all that makes it particularly galling and absurd that the Marriott charges a $12/night parking fee. What's also annoying is that the fee is kind of hidden, and the cost was never directly vocalized when we checked in- just a "we'll take a credit card imprint for incidentals".

So this hotel is in a nice central area, with truly welcoming and nice staff. I was here for work…read moreand a 4 night stay. They are dog friendly which is a plus for those traveling with their furries. My room was very comfortable, clean and sleep quality was good. I never did the breakfast, but big respect for the great morning coffee! I did find that they do not keep the common areas very tidy. Might be a staffing issue, but there was trash in several areas including the stairwells and my last day I could clearly tell nobody had vacuumed the stairwell the entire time I was there. I did have housekeeping the third day of my stay/after my second night but it was not thorough- they just made the bed, left fresh towels, emptied the trash and ran my coffee cups through the dishwasher. Totally fine but No vacuuming ( there was stuff on the floor from my shoes the day before), did not leave any coffee in room and had clearly not wiped the bathroom vanity area down. I am not very messy so it was a non issue. Some of the people that stay here may be a little strange (maybe that is everywhere) as on my third morning, I opened my door and there was a balled up dirty sheet that someone had clearly intentionally left right there! Very bizarre. Between the good and strange I would stay here again, I really liked the staff and my room was very comfortable!

It left a rust ring after I took him out and drained the tub. The front desk manager apologized. Weekdays breakfast ends earlier than weekends, and the weekend manager didn't tell me when I checked in Saturday. The staff quickly closed up, and refused to let my son have apple juice (my daughter grabbed orange juice by mistake) and they didn't want to give them milk for the cereal since they already put it in the back. We arrived before 10AM for breakfast, but they were shutting down beforehand. They also didn't tell me about the $15 a day parking fee they charge. The lot was full, so charging a fee, and then having to hunt for a spot wasn't very pleasant. The pool was clean, and nice. Wasn't very warm, but the kids enjoyed it. The hotel served its purpose. Close to Starbucks, Five Below, and Ross.

I had low expectations going in but was pleasantly surprised with all the decor and amenities in the lobby and rooms. Positives: - clean clean clean! So important! - 24x7 minimart on first floor with all the food, snacks, treats and travel stuff - quiet rooms, neighbors had loud music but once we shut the door we couldn't hear it - beds were very comfortable and soft - sheets were super soft! No scratchiness! Wish there was separate top sheet. Instead it's just the comforter with sheet/case around it - the two types of pillows are such a great idea! The soft had down feathers (I think? At least It felt like it) and was nice to have choice which one to rest your head on - complimentary keurig (bring your own kcups if you want better coffee and sugar as well. They give you one packet with wood stirrer) - mini fridge held a lot of drinks and snacks and racks are removable - microwave: perfect for families with kids (hit the mini mart for ramen, pizza, or Mac & cheese) - large 55 inch tv - pull out rolling table with chair - we had a double queen room and it was a little tight in there between the beds and other furniture - charging charging ports + regular sockets bedside table and other sockets throughout room - 2 mirrors: 1 full length and the other half mirror above bench and charging area - Large bathroom with large standing shower (no tub), loved the big mirror with great lighting also includes hairdryer and wall pumps for soap & lotion, shower pumps (shampoo, conditioner, soap) - water pressure not so great but was always warm/hot - our floor had washer and dryer $3.50 and the vending machines have soap and dryer sheets! Negatives: - window only opens a couple inches for fresh air - weird smelling hallways... like too much cologne/air-spray, very overwhelming when you enter hallway - scratchy little towels - cheap TP, bring your Charmin! - lots of duck poop outside on walkways, they do a good job spraying it down often but it's a full time job! - limited parking especially when there are multiple events on weekends - no safe in the room, is that not a thing anymore? Limited space issue I think? You can purchase breakfast with your reservation for $40. The Sonoma Grill is attached to lobby and is open very early at 6am and has a fantastic breakfast (see my other review). Kids under 12 eat for free (although I was unaware until after, so we ended up paying) They also have a gym, business center, and free shuttle as well as ADA/accessible guest rooms! Overall a great stay and would definitely return on my next visit!

Beautiful location off 495 Long Island highway, beautiful inside as well, comfy bed and bed sets, room was equip with microwave, k cup coffee maker, nice decor. When I checked in they told me that coffee is complimentary to my stay since they don't serve breakfast, cafe inside hotel was under construction. So one evening as I was leaving for work, grabbed my coffee and was about to leave, one of their employees stopped me, and said that I have to pay for the coffee, told her that it's for free and I had been getting it for two nights; she said, not today. I left without it and not going to pay for it. Next, my 3rd nights stay, I got a mail under my door about their policy of cleaning the room. So next day when I got back from work after my night shifts, house keeper just opened my door while I was getting undressed to shower, she apologized and I said to her come back in 20mins. She never showed up, I waited until 9;30 am & I went to sleep bcos I have to work same night. At about 2:30 pm, they started banging on my door, I told them that I don't need anything now, they went and called the manager or someone, who insisted that I must leave the room for cleaning, I did. After that, I cld not fall asleep again until it's time to get ready for work at 5pm. So disappointed and wanted to move but I had only couple days; just have to deal with them. So I noticed after that incidents, my room was-completely cleaned before my arrival every morning at 8;30! So you cld do that every morning without disturbing me??????. I don't want to think of staying here again, they lack customer service, they just run the hotel anyhow. The facility looks very nice and calm in my opinion.

Many of these locations are used for many purposes, so to find one where you feel hospitable and at ease is rare. The rooms are fairly small but have comfortable beds. I would still recommend bringing your own blankets, especially during COVID. However, the rooms have great AC/heaters, as well as a wooden table with two chairs next to the bed. The rooms don't smell, many times at these locations even the non smoking rooms smell, but these don't. It's not too noisy other than the nearby airport but it's bearable. The price in my opinion could be cheaper but it is not bad. I would recommend this spot if you need somewhere to go and can't figure out where!

What my Groupon SHOULD'VE SAID was that I was going to be greeted by a brutalist-adjacent superstructure, bereft of any fresh air. That I would be surrounded by hundreds of mindless consumers - all being herded through a small corridor that gave way to a deprived corporate shell ripe with dissimulation. The carpets were exhausted. Maybe we weren't far from Cape Town after all. Gambling is against my religion, so I walked around and met a few of the 58 Jake's that I read about online. They were all very nice. While I enjoyed my stay, I will likely not return in the near future. Great breakfast

This is the East Coast version of Circus Circus, and that isn't a good thing. In fact, this is the…read moreshortest amount of time I have ever spent in a casino. I did one lap upstairs, one lap downstairs, and I was gone. I didn't even buy a drink. I'll explain why. This is a very low-vibrational environment. Most of the people here are using government money to try to hit big on slots. Either that or they're hard-working (much respect) low-pay and throwing a Hail Mary. With dozens of reports of extremely tight slots, they're just throwing their money away. And, as always, when a casino has tight slots, they're usually very cost-conscious and don't put much effort or money into upkeep and cleanliness. To be blunt, this place is nasty. On top of that, the parking lot is an absolute disaster. I had three people cut me off for a parking spot within three minutes. Then, while walking toward the building, I guy in a big black pickup truck sped as fast as he could and pretty much let me know he would hit me if I tried to pass. But ... as he passed me, his engine blew. I don't what the hell it is but every single time someone does something bad to me or tries to cross me their life is ruined. Contrary to popular belief (in circles I travel), I never even do anything. I just act like I do and say I do so people will chill the hell out and let me be. But my middle name should be Karma. I'm walking freaking chaos. I don't get it. But I don't mind it either. Anyway... This place sucks. Never go here. Perhaps it would have been better if it was Jack's 58 instead of Jake's 58. With Jack, you have Jack The Ripper, Jack-In-The-Box, One-Eyed Jack, The Jackson Five, Jack And Jill (buck and a quarter), Jack-O-Lantern, and the list goes on and on. With Jake, he's a guy that wears khaki pants with sneakers, glasses, has three strands of parted hair, and goes to accounting conferences. Regardless of name perceptions, this place is very low vibration. If you know what that means, then you know to stay far away. I gave two stars instead of one due location and good security.
