I give it 3.5 stars. It is better than in recent years. This hotel is now called the Garner Hotel…read moreby IHG as of 2026. About seven years ago it was a Holiday Inn and then it changed to a Wyndham Garden Inn. It always got mixed reviews & quite a few poor reviews. I did stay here seven years ago and despite the poor reviews at that time, I had a decent stay back then. Now the hotel has recently been updated, meaning the lobby & rooms. So the rooms now have laminate flooring, new smart TVs, and there is a couch in the room & a large desk area as well as a mini fridge. The bathroom vanity area is large and there is a new wall mirror in the bathroom with good lighting , which I appreciate. There are still some areas of the hotel that are junky or in disrepair. The parking is free and I was able to park right outside the front entrance at check in, however, spaces there are limited. When I returned to the hotel at 2 AM after a concert, I had to park in the garage... Which is a little bit seedy & I was wary being a female alone. There are some abandoned vehicles in there. I was especially surprised when I found the door to the hotel was propped wide open and it's right next to the elevator that goes up to the rooms, that meant anybody could be entering and parking in the garage and entering the hotel floors & going anywhere in the hotel they wanted at that hour! Unsafe! There is grab and go food and drinks next to the front desk. The cooling worked well in my room. The bed was comfortable. I had a view of Route 46 W. Check in went smoothly and I was welcomed as IHG member. Again to my dismay, this hotel will not give you a free bottle of water as IHG member which the IHG Crown Plaza does. Water was $3 so I skipped it. I would probably stay here again if the price was right. It's close to New York City so the rate was 170 a night.

Additionally, the perks of a microwave, laundry room, and free parking are all pluses to me. I've stayed at a couple hotels in the area since I spend a third of time traveling here for work. While the MC Hotel is probably one of the "better" hotels in the area, it's just not worth it to me. I much rather prefer the Courtyard Marriott. Close by is the Doubletree Hilton but those rooms lack a microwave and seem older and dirtier. The walls are thin no matter which hotel and this place is no different. Staff is generally friendly and helpful. The Bistro serves food that is good enough for when you don't want food delivery or to go out. Other than that, no complaints...I found it sufficient for long work stays.

Unfortunately, we did not very much enjoy our stay at Courtyard by Marriott Wayne Fairfield…read more The hotel itself is very well designed, I love its modern feel, but it is just a facade. It seems like when last it was renovated it was done in a hurry, as we had several issues with our room to the point where we had to switch. In the first room, the outlets were loose and separated from the wall. The bathroom door was difficult to open and close and made a loud noise in doing so. The door to the refrigerator was not cut to size properly, so it was also difficult to open/close. Lastly (and most importantly), the shower had no hot water and hair stuck to it from prior guests. When we called to the front desk, a very nice lady named Brenda helped us quickly get into another room. The beds were very hard in both rooms, I did not get much sleep in the hotel as a result. To add insult to injury, the bar was closed until further notice. We were told that due to a management change they needed a new liquor license. We were given a free breakfast for our room change inconvenience. We will not be staying here again.

So we went to the front desk to ask they said someone would bring to room. 3 days later we still have NO hand towels. Also, a friend went to the front desk to ask if they could call us down. They informed the person we weren't here. She stated I just dropped them off. They again stated we weren't here and told them there wasn't anything they could do. Speaking to manager the next morning, she didn't seem to be upset nor did she care. BTW: we still never got hand towels. For 700+ dollars they definitely need better training and a staff that supports their customers.

The lobby has a small section where they sell different drinks and snacks, and even ice cream treats. Although we did not eat breakfast there, they do offer complementary breakfast in the morning, which consisted of a variety of items including bagels, scrambled eggs, cereal, and a couple of other hot items. In addition, they have a bar downstairs that also sells some bar food items. There is a pool, and a small gym as well. This wasn't a bad place to stay, it is very close to the University, and it offers some nice conveniences, but the rooms could have been more comfortable.

There are minimum packages but they try to accommodate and their prices are competitive compared to other places we've looked. They are good at partitioning spaces and having multiple events that do not interfere with each other. There have been a couple of hiccups with needs (electronics, table/chair setup for instance), and the food is not stellar, only okay. (Case in point, I ordered my steak rare and the other person at my table ordered it medium well. They came out the same. Meanwhile, my friend at a different table got his rare. So was that mine?) Since the conference rooms are back behind the main desk, I've interacted with desk workers and watched people check in or out. I've spent time in the bar. I've visited multiple bathrooms and can say they have been recently upgraded to high standards. Overall they do OK here, but again, that's speaking to everything except actually staying here.

Yikes! It wasn't the remodeling that knocked me off kilter. I am absolutely understanding to the…read moreremodel so don't be deterred folks with a little upgrade. However, it was the rooms. If you're upgrading the lobby maybe start with you rooms that have stains on the walls starting from yellow to almost looking like poop. The carpet was stained, the chair in the room was suspect to say the least but also had interesting stains, along with the blinds having suspect stains as well. The beds were awful. I don't expect the grandest from hotels but the bed not only was advertised as two queen and ended up being full beds, but they were so old that they sunk in. The one bed was so sunken in you couldn't comfortably lay in it unless you laid in the sunken part, and that just felt unsettling. The sheets looked yellow and stained, nothing smelled washed, and don't get me started on how the floors clearly weren't swept, even in the bathroom. A bathroom is crucial to keep clean. The floors had hair all over that brought instant disgust, the tub was rusty and stained with dark patches, and the ceiling seen better days. Clearly this place hadn't been upgraded, cleaned properly, or touched in years and that is gross. Not that this can be changed in a way but the walls were so thin I got to hear a couple screaming and withing about their gambling addictions and relationship problems with cheating. Thought wyndam had standards but they clearly haven't been on site. I should've taken more photos but just trust me, don't go.

Located in Montclair, NJ, just…read moreoutside NYC, the decor in this boutique hotel is sort of 'artsy Ralph Lauren'--classic plaids mixed with modern art and sparkly modern accent pieces. Each detail has been considered and seemed intended to delight: from the whimsical portraits of famous Georges in the lobby, to the selection of French pastries and cheeses at breakfast, and the Dyson hairdryers in the guest rooms. There were fun surprises at every turn. Where else can you eat a yogurt parfait in an adorable Emma Bridgewater French pedestal bowl under a large portrait of AOC? As someone who is a big fan of sweets, I was just tickled by the sight of the colorful selection of candy in the "secret" candy closet (which although perhaps is a poorly kept secret, was a surprise to me!), as well as the Häagen-Dazs bars in the ice cream freezer. We stayed in the Harry room which was just off the library and featured a cleverly curated collage of framed photos of famous Harrys--Harry Houdini, Harriet Tubman, Debbie Harry, and some less easily identifiable Harrys, which generated conversation (was Buddy Holly's name Harry?). I understand each of the rooms is decorated similarly, each with a different name. We enjoyed tea and cake in the library at tea time. The George offers a complimentary wine service every evening with several selections of wine as well. What an experience--a solid five stars--I hope to return soon.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I've never in my life been afraid to stay at a hotel, even a clapped out one…read more But this? This place is both dirty and scary. The lobby is cheap and badly lit, which sets the tone for the whole place. The elevator was unheated and dimly lit. Then we got to the floor, which was dark, except for the dimly lit walkway to the rooms. The hallways had this weird bluish glow from the fluorescent lights. There was a weird smell, too. We get to the room and it was badly lit with the same weird bluish light. The phone to the lobby was disconnected, as was the alarm clock, and there was no jack to connect the phone. You could see major water damage to the walls, and we found a carpet beetle on the floor. (I had to use AI to determine whether it was a carpet beetle or a bed bug; they look similar.) Thankfully, no carpeting in the room. At this point, though, I didn't want to imagine what bodily fluids a forensics tech might find on the bed. No way did I want to sleep in that bed. So what makes it scary? In addition to the poor lighting and darkened areas of the hotel, the garage is poorly lit and filled with garbage that offers perfect cover for a derelict or a mugger. Also, the doors from the garage to the hotel are wide open and no key card is required to enter the hotel from the garage level. I've had some bad hotel experiences (check out some of my other reviews), but nothing like this.

Problems began as soon as I reached the front desk, as it took the owner or manager nearly 10 minutes to figure out how to check me in. Once I got to my room, things really went downhill. The floors had obviously not been cleaned or swept because there was dust/dirt in the corners, a candy wrapper by the bed, and dead insects scattered about. The paint job on the walls was atrociously done, and was chipping in spots. The room smelled musty and there was water damage visible on the ceiling. At least the sheets looked clean. The bathroom looked dingy. The lighting was very low, as if it was not good for guests to see the place in full light. It definitely did not look like the AI-enhanced photos shown online. The parking garage is apocalyptic. Be grateful you can't smell the photos I posted. The lighting was dim. There were piles of trash leading to the unsecured door into the hotel, behind which there was plenty of space for someone to hide. Boy, they sure know how to make guests feel safe. Checked out as soon as I got back to the hotel after the work event. It was worth driving a few hours after a long day to avoid staying here. How this place still gets business is beyond me. Businesses, if you're looking for a place for your guests or employees to stay, please don't subject them to this place.
