The Heldrich Hotel

Great Location and Service

Reviewed By jawas75

Great hotel and restaurant in the heart of New Brunswick and walking distance to State theater and many restaurants and bars. Christopher's Restaurant inside is also delicious and super convenient. Overall, the service was warm and helpful, and I will stay again.

For those who like baths, this is what you'll see. Also the sole selection of frozen dinner will cost $7. There are no neighborhood restaurants, but the front desk will provide you a Chinese menu and pizza menu. I did not opt in.

We stayed at the Kenilworth Inn / Hotel for a friends wedding! They were amazing, had shuttle service to and from airport, checked us in early with no extra charge. The staff was awesome so helpful with everything from ordering food, Lyft service, directions and accommodating us with paper plates, cups, silverware. They have a little bar, meeting rooms. Hotel was very clean and they cleaned our room every day gave us fresh towels and anything we needed. We will definitely stay here again snd it’s only 30 mins to New York City.

Great hotel to visit NYC when on a budget!

Reviewed By Melissa N

We loved this place. We wanted a hotel that wasn't going to drain our bank account and that would allow for a comfortable night's sleep after walking the city for hours. The rooms are small but very clean (most important in my books!). The small fridge and microwave are a really nice touch. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They offer free wifi, parking, basic breakfast, all that combined with the cleanliness of the place and friendliness of the staff - in my opinion that's the perfect combo right there. Yes, the hotel is next to the Holland Tunnel entryway... so there is traffic, but we didn't hear it at all with the ac turned on. Short walk to the PATH trains. Perfect place to crash after a long day of walking and exploring bustling NYC.

This is one of my favorite Hampton Inn locations. I've been going there since 2018 any time I can in NJ. Pros: - Rooms: always super clean, modern, fridge, microwave, nice size. Big bathrooms with everything super clean and toiletries. The King Room has a cuper comfy and large sofa/love seat. - Common places: very clean and super safe. Great, safe and free parking space. - Close to many attractions like American Dream etc - Bus stops right in front of hotel going to/coming from Manhattan (20 min ride) - Free and very generous and very good breakfast. Abundant and diverse choice. Basically the big star of that hotel. Just perfection. - Staff: A+ Cons: None 100% recommend that hotel. Easily one of my favorite in NJ/NY

very disappointed ...nothing like the pictures on the website, room was very old looking with filthy stained carpet. Furniture very battered and old. Refrigerator was barely cold and had no shelfs. Pool area was nasty, standing water everywhere and very cloudy pool. Only had one outdoor seating area, no cushions on the hard furniture and no umbrellas at the tables. Stay away from this hotel

Oh Boy, Not in a Good Way

Reviewed By heatherjX8841MX

I stayed here with my son due to an overnight layover. I am frequent business traveler and Hilton Diamond member, so I try to stay at on of their properties when possible. Let's just say this hotel has seen better days. It just looks sad. When I checked into my room, the AC was blowing hot air. Not good after a long haul flight in May. So I went to the desk to and asked to move rooms. The person at the desk told me that I could not move because they were oversold. So I went to the next person behind the desk and told her I was Diamond and needed to move. Just like that a miracle occurred in New Jersey. They found a room with a working AC. After purchasing a few overpriced items at the restaurant, I went back to the front desk to ask a question. Then they informed be that as a Diamond member, I received a daily credit but ONLY at the restaurant. You know, the one I just paid for dinner. In a nutshell. If you have other options I would take them.

Courtyard by Marriott Newark Liberty International Airport

Functional, close to airport

Reviewed By tms215

It is a basic business hotel suitable for between flight meetings or the night before a flight. Nothing special but it is clean. The restaurant is pitiful. Very limited options both food and drink. Unless you are desperate, take an Uber into Newark. The gym is also worthless. Great for a quick sleepover but otherwise? Not so special
