    Uncleaned bathroom
    Phillip F.

    I had to stay here for a travel job. Its bad, the cleaners stole several lower cost items I had. They just disappeared. The rooms were so dirty. Someone threw up in my shower and it just was not scrubed. There was no vacumning under the furniture. Then this Italian manager was bragging about the hotel and rates. So jersey dishonest!!!!! Then to many days without cable and fire alarms in the middle of the night. avoid!!!!!

    Was disappointed by my stay here. The pool was closed, we arrived about 5 pm and no front desk agent. She finally came from the gym in gym clothes, so it was like we interrupted her workout to check in. It was weird. The room was nice and spacious. The gym had good equipment, but the water cups were pointy so it was impossible to get a cup and sit it next to a machine. It was also disappointing that because the pool was closed, the gym was then the kid hangout, but there weren't any rules against it. The breakfast was a pretty nice spread. There was a yogurt/oatmeal topping station to top your breakfast with nuts and fruits, some pastries, milks, juices, eggs and breakfast means, and toast and jam. No bagels despite having cream cheese. The room was reasonably priced and breakfast was good, but the no pool and no service were definitely a detriment.

    Rooms large and include kitchenettes. Very clean, updated modern interior, grounds clean, good quiet location but conveniently near Hwy, nice helpful staff who were very accommodating, good value for price, and a nice basic breakfast with various choices (one hot egg item). Only down side, was shower sealed area was stained and needs properly replaced. Btwn that and having a room w/adjoining door where a small child was screaming constantly next door, I asked to change rooms. They were very accommodating however to move me as soon as a room was available ( which it was after I returned from dinner). Another issue, but not hotels problem, was the road that it is on is a mess! Pot holes that are deep and a danger! But the hotel needs to call the township and get it paved (though maybe they've tried).

    Is there a large mouse  we need to remove here?

    I'm not sure how to approach this other than saying I'm really disappointed with the overall quality considering this is a Marriott property. Let's just say that I have stayed here periodically over the past 5 years and it's changed dramatically. It hasn't been very well maintained, the concierge/front desk is lacking help and the overall condition of the property is just severely needing an upgrade, outside the room and seriously inside the rooms. One thing that caught my attention, which might I say reminded me of the movie Hot Tun time machine. Union arrival the front desk assistant stated the pool was closed due to maintenance. My response, well how long will be it closed for? Her response, oh it's not opening and it's been under maintenance for 3 years!!! . Really!?!! Come in, get that sh** fixed already. Now back to the beginning, I said to myself if one of the properties most luxurious amenity is down, why would they invest any money into maintaining the overall appearance? Answer, bc they just don't care too... very sad

    Have to say, I was rather disappointed. Booked a standard King but was "upgraded" to suite. The room was FAR from an upgrade. There was cracks / breakage on the kitchenette cabinets and bedroom closet. The shower stall had hair all over. Now I know bathrooms are not cleaned with Comet & bleach but sheesh, at least rinse the hair down the drain. the children & I had to use our water shoes to shower. The complimentary breakfast was decent. Staff was cordial. Due to the condition of a "suite" I will not return.

    This comment is directed towards the management, not any individual employees. I was so excited to take my family to New Jersey road Trip. I went through the ratings and found their rating was excellent and I chose them for my family stay. My elderly parents were also excited for our road trip. We had our reservation for Two suites (8/7 Monday - 8/8 Tuesday). Even though check in time starts at 3 pm, we reached there at 5 pm. I lined up for checking and already started having issues.. they were not ready. I saw their signs notifying that the swimming pool was out of order. They could not find a second suite (reserved) for us. Finally after 30 minutes they provided us with two suites on the third floor, we were kind of okay with that. We opened one of the suites and it was as hot as a toaster.. Air conditioner (AC) was not working. They even did not check the suite before issuing that to us. We jumped out of that suite and went to the second suite and that was okay. We called Front desk about the suite's Air conditioner issue. They said they will send someone right up but that didn't happen for another half an hour even after multiple calls. Then I went to the front desk to resolve that issue. I saw many other customers with a variety of issues there, some of them not getting their rooms and some of them were given rooms which were not cleaned. I had to drive my parents to a meeting, and we were already late. Finally, we got word from their technicians that AC is broken in that Suite. After struggling for another 1/2 an hour they managed to find us another suite on a different floor. Even though I wanted to be on the same floor as my elder parents, unfortunately that could not happen. We went to that suite and tried to connect WiFi, which did not connect throughout our stay, something was wrong. We drove out of the hotel and came back after dinner. The Second suite was fine at that point, and all of sudden... in the middle of the night it got hotter. AC did not work at all. I walked down to the Front Desk and reported the issue. Front desk staff tried to help us out with whatever they could. However, that was not pleasant and convenient after a long drive to wake up at night because of AC issues in the Hotel suite. Overall, I did not sign up for that. Staff tried to help us but it shouldn't be that hard to get our reserved suite in working condition.

    Simple but effective kitchenette and closet.

    This hotel is in the middle end of the Marriott brands. It's extremely clean and no frills. Great courtyard, clean and functional rooms. Similar to the Hyatt Places. The breakfast is included and very no frills. A simple omelet stand made to order and some basic cereals and breads. Would def stay again as options in Ewing Princeton are limited. Prefer to spend the extra $ and stay at the Marriott Courtyard across the street.

    I remember when this hotel was built and it was really wonderful. Boy has it gone downhill in a major way. It's not that it's dirty it's just amazingly run down. The sliding door in our room doesn't quite work so we have to use two hands to slide it. And when we do it feels like wood is scraping off. The complimentary breakfast is terrible. Judging by the leftover painter's tape with paint on it, it seems that our room was recently painted. But appears that they did it blindfolded. The guy who checked us in last night was incredibly nice and friendly. He should work at a different hotel. One that is worthy of how great an employee he is.

    What I found sweeping under the coach in my room. How did they miss this if they were cleaning per Covid -19 regulations? I'm just asking.

    The Hotel itself is very beautiful and quiet most of the time. Most of the staff are friendly when not in their phones or eating at the front desk. I asked for linen and extra pillows upon checking in and I received neither. My stay ended up being longer than I anticipated due to construction on my house. First weekend came a huge party coming from a wedding reception. The noise made the atmosphere sound like we were in a club. Awaken out of my sleeps from yells and laughs I called the front desk. Well the front desk staff told me they were just checking and they just came from a wedding. I said congratulations and I still don't give a damn. You don't awaken an entire floor because y'all are drunk. Week Two I requested room service. I explained I needed clean sheets, Covers, Towels, etc., Needless to say I have been purchasing my own towels, wash clothes, trash bags, toilet tissue and dish detergent. And when I sent my daughter downstairs for ice she was told we had an ice maker in the refrigerator in our room and left with no ice. Now, fed up and tired of complaining to the staff because they are afraid to confront the unruly guest. I laid down one more night to listen to the room above me make noise and be loud at 1:00 am in the morning. Other than the small things the Hotel is a beautiful place to stay. I hope they get a grip on this place before it goes under for sure. Customer Service is everything.

    Had to help the maintenance guy to get into my own room!!!

    If you lucky you get a decent room but most of the rooms have some sort of flaw or deficiency. Mostly it is CLEAN!! But there are people stealing kitchen utensils, pots and pans etc. heard they use the place for the homeless. Not the kinda place you want paying guests to stay at.. this is one of the closest hotels to the airport that have a full kitchen. That's why..

    Cigarettes holes in carpet, stains on end table, couch falling apart.
    Amanda D.

    We checked into this hotel and immediately left. The smell was stale cigarettes, the ceiling was stained with smoke, there were cigarettes burns in the carpet and on the night table. Would not recommend!!!

    Kitchen area needs an upgrade

    This is by far the worst Marriott I have stayed in. Near Trento airport, arrived at 8:30pm no food available, rooms need a complete upgrade and to top it off - in the corridor as I walked back to my room last night!!!!!

    Third floor

We were originally given several choices for our entree. I chose to have their Salmon.The salmon was delicious very flavorful butter sauce and it was a good size. It came with yellow rice and steamed fresh String beans. For dessert there was a beautiful cake, and a pastry fruit tart. Coffee and tea were served with it.

    Can you tell which are statues?…read more Years ago I went to Grounds For Sculpture, a 42 acre outdoor and indoor art exhibit with gorgeous gardens and every type of art you can learn and imagine. My boys were too young to appreciate it back then. This time we did it differently. Prior to going, we did a lesson on different types of art. We created slides to help teach us different types of art. I have included the slides so you can share these to your kids as an art lesson. While we were at the Grounds For Sculpture, I have to tell you... the way the Realism Art, Pop Art, and Abstract Impression Art Blended with its natural surroundings, my eyes began to play tricks on me!

    This may sound overly exuberant, but I love this place!…read more Founded in 1992 by J. Seward Johnson (a Johnson & Johnson heir) his goal was to build a contemporary sculpture garden for the public to enjoy. The property was initially the site of the Jersey fairgrounds and later the Trenton Speedway. (It's so peaceful and lovely here, it's hard to imagine the raucous noise of racecars.) We signed up for a walking tour -- free with the price of admission -- which runs for about an hour. In addition, friendly docents walking around the grounds stopped to chat offering great information -- even some juicy gossip! Be sure to pull up the app on your phone which we found helpful. The garden is closed Tuesday. One of the sites said admission is timed, but mid-week we were able to simply show up. Note that veterans and seniors pay reduced admission. Parking is free and there's a restaurant/coffee shop in the welcome center that's an inviting place to refuel. The photos I snapped are the garden's realistic representations, but there's a whole host of contemporary sculpture, all very different with their own stories.
