Housekeeping forced their way into our room while we were there and requested them to skip. It was a little awkward but not the end of the world.

Response from Leonardo Hernandez on 13 Feb 2024
Thank you for your review, I am sorry you did not have a good stay. I am sorry you felt that the area was unsafe. As far as the parking goes, on Expedia website on our hotel page, under popular amenities, under parking and transportation it states 'Valet parking on site (USD 30 per night; includes in/out privileges)Limited onsite parking'On our own website it also states limited parking at 30 a day, may I ask what website you are a stating that doesn't show the parking information, I would like to know so I can reach out to them about it.

Path is too far to walk And walking to path is unsafe due to too many cars on the road
Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024
Response from Leonardo Hernandez Assistant General Manager on 4 Feb 2024
Thank you for your review, I am sorry that you felt unsafe with getting to the path station. For future reference the best times to avoid heavy traffic would be between 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm. Also the closest Path train is a 15 minute walk at the Pavonia Newport station, if you take the Grove street station that is about half a 45 minute walk away.

I couldn’t check in until 5pm because the rooms wasn’t ready . The washer and dryer was broke on the premises

Response from Leonardo Hernandez Assistant General Manager on 2 Feb 2024
Thank you for your response, I am sorry you had a delay in getting your room, you did book a specialty room of two double beds with a city view. We do have IHG one club members, and one of the perks for being a club member is a late check, this is one of the reasons for a delay with the room. The washing machine is in working order, it is the dryer that needs to be replaced.

Upon arrival it wasn’t a warm welcome I had asked a question and she pointed at the sign a simple explination would have sufficed this made me feel like my question was bothersome. I stayed in this property during pandemic time a few times booked direct with the hotel and it was amazing but service has decreased since then. I tried to make interaction smiling but agent was a bit cold and didn’t seem to want to interact with me. The room was nice however there was a lot of hair on the bed under the covers. I wanted to call down but I had already unpacked and made my self comfortable so I grabbed a towel and just removed all the hair This made me feel a bit disgusted. If I were to stay again I will check more throughly. There was also dirty foot prints in the bathroom and hair as well. This hotels location is perfect for me but this stay did have a couple things that I didn’t like.

Fresh Refresh
New bed in this Holiday Inn Express gave the room a comfortable feel, literally. Service was marvelous. Desk attendants truly wonderful. Hotel is located conveniently in Jersey so one can get around via Lyft or car easily. Price was right. The only issue we had was the cleanliness of a lounge chair which was necessary to use for sitting in a room with only one other desk chair: It’s a washable surface but we found several unmentionable stains on what is a lovely lounge chair. Kinda gross. Don’t know why it was overlooked by cleaning staff.

Absolutely horrible staff, horrible customer service and the lady who checked me in shouldn't be at front desk at all, no manners whatsoever. The moment i reached the front desk she didn't even said hello or if i need any help. She goes give me your ID. Parking is $30 per night , expensive than NY. The next morning while checking out same behavior from the morning shift , i said good morning and the lady gave me the weirdest look i have never seen before. Who is running this place??? Breakfast is nothing near average. Not a single bottle of water in the room and you have to buy from the kiosk. Please teach some manners to your staff. Never coming back nor i will recommend this place to anyone.
