Vacations Close To Rutgers University Geology Museum

Everybody was super friendly, the room was clean and nice and the balcony is a really great little touch. I would suggest booking a room with a balcony. It’s a very nice feature for coffee in the morning and at night to just sit outside. We will be back!

The rooftop lounge was nice and the locations was good. The staff was generally OK. However, the thermostat for the room malfunctioned wildly and the mini-fridge froze all our food so that it was ruined. Some nights we sweltered because the temperature setting seemed to have no relation to what the actual temperature in the room was, at times varying by 6-12 degrees. After working appropriately the first night, the thermostat seemed to develop a mind of its own and would only work intermittently. Not a great thing in summer NYC weather. The mini-fridge seemed to run all the time even on the lowest setting, so was useless for anything but maybe chilling bottles of vodka. We lost about $50 worth of groceries as a result.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this hotel. The room was very old, poorly maintained, and noticeably dirty. It did not match the expectations created by the photos and description provided during the booking process. Because of the unacceptable condition of the room, I checked out immediately and did not stay at the hotel. I am still trying to obtain a refund, as I paid for accommodation that I was unable to use due to the poor condition of the room. I cannot recommend this hotel based on my experience and hope the management addresses the cleanliness and maintenance issues so future guests do not have the same experience.
