    Carpet is a tripping hazard

    There are many reasons that I would not recommend this hotel. The biggest being that I called front desk at 3pm about toilet backing up. Was told maintenance would come up to fix it and that I did not need to be there as I had a meeting to get to. When I returned to room at 6:40 it was to find that maintenance had not come to the room. I was told that maintenance had left for the day at 5pm and was told that I could come to the desk to get a plunger. The receptionist apologized and said she would let the manager know that maintenance did not show up. The hotel carpet is dirty and pulling up from the floor. I was told that they have washers and dryers for use and that I could buy laundry detergent and fabric softener. When I tried to they were out of laundry soap. This was my first time staying at an ES Sonesta and I will personally be hesitant to stay at another ES Sonesta in the future because of this stay.

    Chipped bathroom paint

    Warning: My 4 day stay had no housekeeping visits at all. This is completely unacceptable considering I ran out of towels after the first night. Very unhappy here Dated hotel with a face lift. My room was adequate but this is a no frills nothing special hotel. There is a mini kitchen with a hot plate I'm sure nobody uses. They have the thermostats limited at 65 degrees which is definitely a problem during the non-summer months. Can't lower the temperature in my bedroom to get it cooler and dry it out. I had chips on the paint in my bathroom and they had the dreaded wall shampoo conditioner dispenser. To make matters worse there was absolutely no breakfast one day and others were a continental junk breakfast with microwave packaged food. I picked this hotel because it said it had a good breakfast and didn't. Overall I'm very disappointed considering I transferred from another hotel thinking I would get something better and got worse. The place two blocks away I was just in had a very good breakfast buffet. I'm getting out of here and going back there. Won't be back. Also their indoor pool is drained don't waste your time here.

    Breakfast

    Stayed here for 2 nights at $185 USD/night after taxes. Room was clean and very spacious, but a bit dated. My wifi was upgraded by signing up for their free rewards club, but even then was on the slow side. Front desk reception was excellent. A shuttle is available for drop-off/pick-up to the nearby offices, subject to timing (e.g. I was given an option of 4:30pm or 6:15pm pick-up). The shuttle will NOT take you to the train station, shopping area, etc though. The breakfast was disappointing. I noticed the scrambled eggs had something red in them, so I asked an employee there if the red was meat or a vegetable. She responded saying she wasn't sure, the eggs come pre-melted to the hotel and they just heat them up... gross. Maybe it's the same at other hotels but hearing this made me cringe + you really ought to know if one of the main dishes you're serving contains meat or not.

    Beautiful room!

    Very beautiful, Modern, spacious room, clean and well mannered. Me and my girlfriend stay in the hotel for 2 days and 2 nights. We fell in love with the room intensely. The front desk and the staff were so nice to us. I wish we could of stayed longer but this is definitely our get away from home!

The hotel is old; the latest updates seemed like they were from 10-20 years ago. If you stand near the window, you can feel cold air seeping through the cracks (1 star off). The staff is friendly, but no one brings up anything if you need anything. I got a paper cut and needed a Band-Aid, and was told to go down to the front desk to get it myself. I guess it was a good thing that I did not have a more severe injury? I am not a prima donna, so that was fine. Cleaning crew turns down the thermostat to 64F after servicing your room. I guess they don't know that the windows are seeping cold air and guests want the thermostat up. They really should not be adjusting the room temperature during cleaning though. If you are looking for a no-frills hotel in the area, this is a good choice.

We worked primarily with KeriAnn to help coordinate for the weekend of our wedding and she was so thorough and detail oriented. She was incredibly communicative and made sure we went through all the nuances of our wedding weekend with a fine toothed comb. The rooms themselves were beautiful, clean, modern & spacious. We used Gathering Room 1 & 2 the day of the wedding for myself & the bridal party to get ready in with the hair and makeup artists which was more than enough space to accommodate everyone. We were able to access the space early in the morning and the hotel even provided a complimentary hotel room next door for us to use to store our stuff, use the restroom and take photos in. The staff was great about passing out hotel room bags to our guests, putting together signage for our shuttle, and trying their best to accommodate early check-ins when they could. We opted to have an after party and were able to keep the bar open that was private for just our guests which was the best way to end the night with our family & friends. Raj was an incredibly attentive & friendly bartender. We had nothing but a positive experience here and will continue to recommend it to other couples who may be looking for a room block for their wedding weekends!

Initially had an accessible room to accommodate my partner's needs but she wanted a better room to what she seen online when booked. Room was larger with a nice outside view of pool area, and thunderstorms as they passed during the evening. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Shower head was a bit funky but manageable.

After passing by it for years, we finally decided to book a 24-hour stay to see what it was like. The outside really does give off that fairytale castle vibe, but once inside, the magic fades. The property is huge and extremely busy--the lobby felt more like Grand Central Station than a relaxing getaway, which was a little overwhelming. They even had a security guard walking around the lobby, which felt a bit unusual. On the plus side, the hotel has lots of parking and is conveniently located right off the highway, so it's easy to get to. They also have both an indoor and outdoor pool, though we didn't have time to check them out. Our room was clean and spacious with a nice view, and the bed was comfortable. However, everything else felt very dated, as if it hasn't been refreshed since the early -2000s. The mini-fridge alone looked at least 15 years old. For such a large room, the bathroom was extremely small, with the sink, toilet, tub, and shower all crammed into the same space. They still use a shower curtain, and while they do provide toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, and soap), the setup felt more budget-level than "castle." The closet also didn't have any extra blankets or pillows, which was disappointing given the size of the property. We had dinner at the restaurant downstairs (steak, fries, chicken Caesar salad, and two drinks). The food was decent--not bad, but nothing memorable. We did end up moving seats because there was a noticeable gnat issue near the bar, which wasn't ideal. Check-in and check-out were both smooth, but we were a bit annoyed when housekeeping knocked at 9 a.m. on our departure day to ask when we'd be leaving. Overall, this hotel has so much potential. The exterior is beautiful and inviting, but the inside doesn't live up to the castle charm. It's in serious need of updates, and for the price, it doesn't quite deliver on luxury or relaxation. If you're looking for a busy, castle-themed stay that's easy to get to and offers pools and parking, it might work for you. Otherwise, you may want to look elsewhere until renovations are made.

    Note: This rating would be lower but Hilton support came through for our group and made the…read moresituation right. It took about one month to resolve everything, however. The Embassy Suites by Hilton Parsippany has serious heating/cooling problems and you need to be aware of that before booking here. Came here for an event and left with one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. Embassy Suites by Hilton Parsippany is easy to access and has plenty of parking, but you do have to pay for parking. I want to say this before I go further, the hotel staff were not really the problem here, it's the whole property as the building and rooms are out of date. Check-in went badly, as while they did have my reservation, they could not check me in even with downloading the app. Corporate helpdesk even had problems when the employees called about my reservation. Basically, my reservation had to be deleted and remade, and this whole process from start to finish took around an hour, and it was frustrating. The interior of this hotel is iconic. The atrium is full of trees, plants, fountains, and stone walkways. It is very visually appealing, and I cannot stress that enough, with a large amount of natural light coming in from all the windows. This design caused one of the biggest problems of the weekend sadly, as the heating/cooling plant could not keep up with the high temperature's outside. The interior of this hotel was shockingly warm all weekend, and very much affected our event experience. On top of that, the pool was closed for renovations, so you couldn't even go for a swim to cool off. For the rooms, they were suites with a nice amount of square footage. The beds were comfortable, but the whole room looked like it had not been upgraded in roughly a decade based on the wear and tear and what TVs are provided. Room did come with a larger mini-fridge and microwave. Because of the oppressive heat outside, our rooms heating/cooling basically did not work all weekend, making it uncomfortable. The bathroom due to its design and shower curtain could easily flood the floor. Our mini-fridge was dirty on the inside with some sort of spill I cleaned up using disinfectant I brought along. One sink had major calcium deposit that I could not remove. It was also dark in the room unless you opened both the atrium facing and outside facing curtains. Our room was disappointing for the most part due to the heat. The complimentary breakfast was ok, with eggs, sausage, potatoes, various grains, pastries, coffee, juice, soda, and an omelet bar. Event space is somewhat limited depending on your needs, and you might have to be creative with setups. Overall, this hotel was massively disappointing and I cannot recommend staying here at the $150-$200 price point. The iconic look of the atrium is the only reason to stay here and you should otherwise avoid the Embassy Suites by Hilton Parsippany unless absolutely necessary.

The air conditioner was either ice cold or off. The pool area is disgusting and the hot tub is closed permanently. We will never, ever patronize any Embassy Suites again. Don't take my word for it, take a look at the pictures.

When I was looking for a hotel in the area I did a bit of research and learned this homewood was recently renovated. The lobby is very nice and inviting along with the light color furniture selection and window detailing in the rooms. Homewood hotels always have a more spacious layout since they include kitchens and a living room area in either a studio or bedroom format. There is also a basketball court outside, an indoor pool, and 2 pelotons in the gym (per my coworker) for those that want to remain active during their stay. There is also onsite parking which I hear costs money from other reviews and I was not told that so waiting for that bill to come through... Now for the lack of cleanliness... I walked up to my room and there were 2 lady bugs right by my room number. I walked in my room and there was one on the wall. Since ladybugs can be an infestation, I figured switching rooms would not fix this. It was also late and I didn't feel like running around town to find another place to stay. Upon settling into the room I started finding hair in various places of all color... brown, blond, black, curly, wavy, and straight. My coffee table had a sticky spot on it, clearly not wiped throughly. There were brown/black spots on the ceiling and cabinets. I found a random pair of socks in the stairwell on my last morning as I was leaving. Also the cherry on the cake... my shower took FOREVER to heat up, to the point I thought it wasn't working. I made up my mind that I would suck it up and take a cold shower then check out first thing since I was exhausted and didn't feel like getting dressed and packing. Luckily as I was rushing to take my shower it started to get a little warmer and finally on the verge of hot, so I decided to stay another night and letting it run for 10 minutes before getting in (I would be pissed at this water bill if it were my actual home). Didn't remove a star for this but I do wish there were more takeaway options for breakfast like fruit. I grabbed a yogurt which worked but maybe some hotels are not doing fresh fruit anymore to minimize waste? I'll be staying here again soon since for longer trips my coworkers and I tend to need a kitchen to cook fresh meals (I hear the knives suck and my coworker bought her own) so I'll see if I just got a bad room or if the lack of cleanliness and lady bugs is consistent....

However, what really rubbed me the wrong way was being charged $15 PER NIGHT for parking WITHOUT BEING TOLD! We checked in, and were asked if we had a car. Naturally we said yes, and were handed a little tag to hand on our windshield. At no point were we told there was a charge for parking, nor did it state as much on the aforementioned tag. Several of my friends who checked in with us had a similar experience. Even if we were appropriately informed that we would have to pay, it's nonetheless a ridiculous policy. The only time I've ever had to pay for parking at a hotel like this was in the heart of major cities such as Manhattan or Chicago, not rural New Jersey!! Considering the rooms are disproportionately expensive as it is, making guests pay for parking is corporate greed at its worst. Additionally, my wife and I left our room at 9:00am to attend a nearby wedding. We got back to the hotel around midnight, only to find that our room had not been cleaned. It was very disappointing. Lastly, a friend of hours who was also staying in the hotel had called the front desk to request extra linens. The response? "Come down and get them." Like I said, the lobby was very clean and the breakfast was great, but having to pay for parking in an area like this is ludicrous. What made it even worse was the deception.

The nearest elevator was a single elevator (not a bank of elevators), and it went out twice during our 4-day stay! Our room was spacious - felt very tired but it did have a white duvet cover, which is appreciated, and it did feel clean. Staff at the front desk didn't know the status of the elevators or what events were happening at the hotel. Strange that the hotel charges for parking. When we were there, their very large parking lot had tons of open spaces. I get an urban property charging when space is limited, but this seemed odd. Why not add it into the hotel charge? Again overall we liked the Hilton better than the other hotel nearby that we've stayed at. Our search continues for a Northern NJ hotel near to family with a solid gym. But if we stay in Parsippany again, we'll choose this over the other, more tired options.

The people at the desk weren't the friendliest. In fact, they seemed less than enthused about me being there. Once the check-in process was complete, I went up to my room. It seemed nice at first, but upon entry it felt like a sauna! I went out and got dinner and figured fit just needed time to cool down since it was much hotter than usual. After coming back, I noticed the temperature hadn't changed. I alerted the desk upon on my way to work out to let them know. When I got done from working out, I noticed it still hadn't changed so I asked them again and then sent someone up. He deconstructed the unit and gave me the "VIP" temperature, which unlocks it to go past 65. He said he put it at 60 and said it'll cool down in 10 mins. Now, while he was giving his spiel, he specifically said something about the hot water being off. I asked if that meant I wouldn't have hot water for my shower and he said no because they were separate units. I beg to differ. Once he left, I hopped in the shower and surprise surprise, no hot water. It wasn't even lukewarm. Not to mention, it never cooled down and I woke up sweating. I alerted them in the morning what went on and asked if I could switch rooms. The attendant said she'd award me 5,000 points for my trouble and gave me a new room. The first thing I did was check the shower to make sure the water was hot, and it was. I noticed the air felt the same as it did in my other room so I let them know on my way to breakfast. I came back and saw it hadn't changed. I told them again on my way to workout. Came back and same thing. When I went back, the attendant said the repairman closed out the ticket but she could send him back. The man came back to the room and you could tell he was pissed to be there. His tone was dismissive and after explaining what happened he said, "we fixed everything. You need to sit here for a while and you'll see." Oh ok, pal. I guess I'm a child now. I said thanks and he left. While the new room eventually got cooler, it was the principal and tone behind the matter. I wouldn't be raising a fuss if there wasn't merit behind my concern. If you're ok with mediocre service, this is the hotel for you. I won't be back. Update: 3/19/2026- I never got the points that they said they'd give me.
