The only thing that bothered us was there were signs warning to distance from others which I haven’t seen since Covid, along with other Covid warnings in the elevator, in the lobby, sterile soap dispensers and the man at the desk wore a mask, it was much too much for us, like pandemic all over again. It wasn’t like that before. Just for that I gave a much lower rating!

So so.
They have been working on the place since October’23 and don’t expect to be finished until March’24. Bed was very comfortable shower head terrible. Breakfast decent. Elevator slow and falling apart. Room was pretty clean. Corridors didn’t seem to have heat. I might stay again after they finish work.

This hotel definitely meet and succeed the 2 stars expectations. The building is older but renovations are taking place. Luckily I didn't get any noise interruptions during my 2 nights stay. The work is from 9am to 5pm and I was mostly out during that time. Breakfast is really good. The room is fairly clean but looks outdated. They will need to modernize this hotel to get to a 3 stars hotel. I don't know if that is what they are aiming for. It's in union city shopping area, close to shops and restaurants. I did hear a lot of police cars and fire trucks. Windows are definitely not sound proof. I would stay here again.

This is a great hotel if you want a quick stop over just literally to sleep and shower in. As I was out most of the day I really needed to somewhere to drop my stuff and be able to get a good nights sleep and I found this very well here. The staff our reception were very friendly and help me with the directions. It’s had great food locations within the retail park . The hotel is under going construction but this did not both me. The hotel was room was cleaned each day with fresh towels given. Breakfast was free which was mostly eggs, bacon , cereal , toast , juices and coffees. Please note that hotel is literally great for a stop over and sleep.

DO NOT STAY THERE till done with constructions
I am deeply upset with Hotels.com - this hotel is UNDER CONSTRUCTION all day/all night, 7 days a week -- you do NOT see this on Hotels.com. The staff there said it is supposed to be in BIG letters. They were incredibly kind but it was an awful stay - had hoped to enjoy the pool - literally every floor is under construction...little scary feeling and fire alarms/microwave alarms kept going off - took my daughter and did not feel comfortable. Breakfast was great and staff was lovely - that was the only redeeming factor

It would have been valuable to know that this property was under construction including the pool before we booked. There were people camping in between the storage containers for construction late at night in the parking lot and my kids were bummed about not getting to swim. None of this was communicated before we booked. Very disappointing.
