    I had an OK experience at this Hyatt Place hotel. They have online check-in to expedite the check-in process, however, checking in was anything but seamless. Despite letting the front desk know I had already checked in and was charged for the night, including the incidental fee, I was still met with intrusive questions and was prompted multiple times I would have the standard incidental fee added. Confident these fees already showed up as transactions on my credit card, I asked the front desk to check their database and of course, the fees had already been assessed. I didn't make it a big deal, however, online check-in exists for a reason; to minimize such interactions by simply showing your photo ID, which I did. The quality of my guest room was not commensurate to the newly renovated hotel which is advertised online. The bathroom was dated. My toilet had a malfunctioning ballcock that restricted water flow, and had it not been for my handyman skills, this could have easily turned into me having to switch rooms which wasn't an option for me. It was late, the front desk was checking in other guests when I left the lobby, and it simply wasn't worth the engagement. The sofa also had ripped upholstery and its attached bed was worn. But for what it's worth, the night's stay served its purpose. I did appreciate the onsite parking. Overall an OK experience and I will visit again when in the area.

    My king bedroom 310

    As you can see from my last review I stayed here last year with my friends. At that time I was pleased with my stay although my friends were disappointed with their stay because their room was impacted by Route 4 road noise. My room was in the rear of the hotel away from the Route 4 road noise. I booked my annual free complimentary king bedroom for a Thursday night stay at this hotel using my Hyatt app on my iPhone about one month prior to my stay. This time I was here solo to visit with my family in nearby Paramus. As you can see from my last review I liked this hotel. The hotel now offers direct texting like most other hotels, since they texted me the day prior to remind me of my stay. I parked my Audi in front of the hotel. My check-in went smoothly. My 309 king bedroom overlooked the front of the hotel overlooking Route 4 West. Everything in my room worked well without any problems. My room was comfortable. I did not experience any Route 4 road noise as my friends experienced last year. Complimentary breakfast of coffee, orange juice, scrambled eggs, bacon, and bananas were included. My checkout also went smoothly. I would return here again although I did plan another visit with my family in May. Except this time I will try another hotel located in nearby Paramus. More to come regarding my next visit to Paramus in May. I used to live in Paramus.

    The most disgusting breakfast I've ever had and of course did not finish it

    Lobby looks OK you could clearly see it was a fixer-upper. However, once you start walking down the hallways and go into the room it's a whole different story.. went to sleep with my clothes and socks on refuse to touch the floor. I could assure you I will never stay at this hotel.. Called the reception from 6 AM to 6:30 AM nobody picked up the phone. I finally get downstairs. I go to the Starbucks section to order an espresso. The person immediately tells me the machine is broken. . I told him I called the Starbucks corporate office and they said that would be impossible . That being said, the worker turned the machine on and made me an espresso.. The breakfast the service is absolutely -3 star rating as far as I'm concerned . Eggs absolutely tasteless. Meat patty like a piece of cardboard..

    I've discovered that comedy greatly relaxes everyone. People mirror back what you put out typically. Tanisha the manager of 8 years was struggling to find a king bed with a tub after a few hours' effort. I'd reserved one but it was a matter of waiting out those late stragglers. That's when I reminded her that indeed we already had a king with a tub - and I gestured at my prodigious paunch commanding the lobby. Silence. Then we all laughed - at the fat man! I kid but yes we laughed. I'm not all that stout but it ensured they realized I wasn't just another demanding egotist but a reasonable fellow willing to work with them within their limitations. Now the folks running this place are just fine but here's a few ideas to improve. Spring for a big highway sign 800 feet before you happen upon the tiny driveway entrance just after a hairpin turn as you're screeching off the highway. That's a site issue. But there's a few other things here that make it not the Hyatt we've come to expect over the years: a bit worn, cramped lobby by Hyatt standards: a hot house-encased swimming pool on the side which is a no-go zone for us asthmatics; and a fairly Days Inn-level vibe to the breakfast and the overall clientele. But you pay a measly $150 for a sizable clean room with a comfortable king sized enormo-bed and now, a tub. I stayed three nights, two with a shower. Slept just fine each night. Anyway, I didn't come here to enjoy myself - I came here to work over the Memorial Day weekend and not entertain super models. And the quiet and work space was what I needed. Sure I could use a super model but they'd want room service. Nonsense aside, I must say that as a bit of an empath, as a compassionate fellow, I feel for the little armies of hardworking young room tidying staff, the front desk staff also in their twenties, all so earnest and I think how much harder their lives are than mine, working for far less, and I feel a little guilty for grousing about the little details. But, any business worth its salt looks for the critiques to improve. So let's keep this moving: whatever they use to clean these rather musky rooms with an asthmatic wall unit air conditioner is making it hard to breathe. That's just me. You should be fine. And my one unpleasant staff moment during my three day stay isn't worth mentioning because it passed in a sentence and all likely ten to fifteen other staff interactions were quite pleasant. Every single person made me feel welcome and they made every effort to help every time I asked - which was two or three times but still. Tonight I feel far more than just some tubby mope with an evening's work ahead and more like a temporary king with a tub!

    The room was a great size for a weeklong stay and the location in relation to NYC is very nice. A little tricky to get in and out of, but manageable. For the price, a couple of bigger issues. First, age and wear are very noticeable. The side door which should be security locked, wouldn't shut and latch without help. The bigger issue to me was the air. I don't know much about HVAC, but in a hotel room where windows do not open, it needs to be better. Stale swamp is the best I can describe it as. It made it hard to stay in the room to work. I'd give it a 2.5 if possible, but I'll lean lower with this system as for the roughly $150 cost, it doesn't measure up.

    Corner of my room -  filthy...

    I am re-posting a Yelp review I wrote in 2020 - 4 years back. The only upside is that the Hyatt Place Fair Lawn has large rooms. I am adding some photos. Hyatt usually has much higher standards. _____________________ For over 20 years I have stayed at Hyatt properties worldwide. I am at the upper level of their frequent guests and am brand loyal. I sorry fellow travelers, this place really does not hit the mark. I will not put it on my roach motel list, but do suggest going somewhere else. The check in was unfriendly. The hostess was rude, arrogant and made me feel "oh why did I go here". There was no one else at the front desk though it took several minutes to notice me. I was not greeted with a welcome, thank you.... It was a frowning woman who clearly did not care whether I stayed here or down the street. To worsen matters the hall smelled like sewage. This is not last for the full two days of my stay but was very obvious the first night and day. I cannot believe I wasted points staying here!

    We arrived late, 1 am, ended up in a room facing the highway, which was noisy. The next day we asked if they could change our room. They said yes, however it took quite awhile to do so. The front desk staff had difficulty with their computer system and switching the room The rooms are large with a desk and sitting area They provide a free continental breakfast Due to Covid they provide the breakfast in a to go bag. They have coffee and an assortment of Tazo teas.

    "SO HUMID" walked into our Hyatt Place room in mid winter and was smacked in the face with humidity.
    Benjamin G.

    The room felt gross and was damp, humid, and smelled of mildew. Opening the curtains confirmed the feeling as the walls and windows were just covered in condensation. Room size was nice and amenities were fine. But its hard to enjoy your stay when the air is so heavy with humidity that it makes it hard to breath while sleeping.

Luckily, she told him he'd have to wait a minute. Finally, the clerk asked me if another room would be OK and I said it would be. Once I got to my room there was cleaning staff in the hall way and several carts. I go into my stinking to the high heavens room and within 10 minutes, someone from cleaning was briskly knocking and announcing "HOUSEKEEPING!" Then attempted to open the door, but I had the stop on, so I opened the door and I still don't know why they knocked. I asked her if the room was clean and I didn't get an answer. I went out, then came back around 9PM, apparently there are free cookies, I didn't know about until I was leaving the next day and then it was just too late. And I want to mention, every single Hilton brand hotel I have stayed in gave me water bottles as an honors member, I didn't get them at this location. The next day was check out and I'm glad it was only one night. I got up early and was the first one down for breakfast. Unfortunately, the eggs had hair in them and everything else tasted off. at least they had fresh bananas. This hotel overall was a disappointment.

I called the number and after being put on hold, was told that the manager of the hotel was not agreeable to doing that for us. So why give us the number to call? Disingenuous. Wasn't asking for a refund, just a credit toward another stay. They lost a customer.

This isn't a municipal lot or anything like that. It's their lot and they charge guests to park in it. The first night I stayed here, I didn't pay it and wasn't asked. I figured those signs were for non-guests. I liked the place so much, I came back. And...they tell me I have to pay $20! Now, I don't have an MBA from a grade-inflation school, but I can tell you that I'd much rather someone spend that $20 on a drink or anything else, since that is likely to generate RECURRING revenue, leading to a larger profit, even if the margin isn't as good as the ripoff parking fee. Now, I bluntly told the girl at the front desk that this fee is a ripoff (I didn't swear or gesticulate wildly), but she was offended by my characterization of a ripoff as...a ripoff! Not only does she enjoy ripping people off, but she doesn't want you to call a ripoff...a ripoff! So, definitely come here if you want a good night's sleep, but not until they get rid of the parking fee.

I had to carry my overnight bag up to the second level where the room was. Thank goodness it was not a heavy bag and i packed light. Then i also come to find that they double booked the room i was staying in - so i had to share the room with some woman, but  she ended up being a good bedfellow and was very nice to chat with. When entering the room the smell was so pleasant and cozy, the room was well decorated and clean, it had three baskets filled with towels, toiletries and snacks and water. I was feeling better about the stay and how nice things were presented..... But then the slides on the tv screen changed my whole mood, everything was so expensive, sorry but they are not the Ritz-Carlton! How can you charge $5.99 for an 8oz water bottle and charge me $10.99 to use a towel and $99.89 for scented soap. Needless to stay i did not shower there and waited until got home the next day, thank god i brought body wipes! After being frustrated with the pricing of things after being out all night as i am walking up to the hotel i hear this voice saying you are being recorded, Are you kidding me? I did not consent to being recorded, and should have been known of this when i was making the reservation. So crazy, Then after feeling violated of my privacy, i returned to my room, and come to find the bed was turned down and the fireplace turned on. So great and cozy right? .....WRONG - it was metered at $120 per hr and had been running for 6hrs while i was gone!! I did not ask for the fireplace to be turned on and especially for warmth and no body to absorb it? Ridiculous!!! Lastly, the morning time came, thankfully they don't charge to use the water, so i was able to brush my teeth, and wash my face with my own facial soap, and used toilet paper to dry my face and hands, then i headed downstairs for this promised beautiful breakfast that was advertised on the TV screen at the beginning of my stay. I have to say it was delicious, i opted for the avocado toast, and yes it was a freshly made avocado spread! The waitress who served it to me was super nice and pleasant, and the coffee was amazing. Can you believe this hotel has 3 different types of non-dairy milk! I was so happy and impressed, because i am lactose intolerant so this was a major plus for me! Overall, The stay was as meh! They run a very clean and cozy establishment, a comfy bed, nice staff, a great meal and a variety of non-dairy milk! So my 2 stars are based off of that. I would have given it 3 stars if the hand soap was in season of the month, they had Pumpkin marshmallow latte scented soap. So last season!
