We stayed one night with our son and daughter and their three small kids to celebrate our granddaughter’s birthday. We wanted a 2 bedroom suite where we would all have room to spend time together. We also wanted a place with a nice pool. The suite was ok. Somewhat spacious, However the couch needs to be replaced as it is horribly uncomfortable and sags in the middle. The rooms were clean and it was nice to have a full kitchen, especially having 3 small kids with us. I was disappointed as I had requested more towels, pillows and shampoo through the Marriott app the day before but none of the items were ever delivered. I had also requested a pack n play for our young grandson when I booked 5e room but that was not in the room either. It was a good thing our son had packed one,of their own.
The pool water was very cold and while the kids somewhat enjoyed it, it was way too cold for the adults to goin and for the baby. The hot tub temp was comfortable but it certainly could use a good cleaning.
Be aware that with the opening of the American Dream Mall in the meadowlands, there are a lot of kids in this hotel now. And so many of them were not the best behaved, jumping in the hot tub, diving in the pool, going into the fitness room and playing on the machines when they were soaking wet. The management did seem to be trying to address some of these problems, but the pool is small and the volume level with 25 screaming kids was unbearable.
Breakfast buffet was good and all items were readily available and were constantly refilled.
Would we stay here again? Most likely not.
