3-Star Hotels in Rutherford

Booked this based on the reviews. Arrived later in the evening and informed our room was given away (king). Apologized and was told we’d be put in a double accessible room. We were fine with this. It was a long day and we were tired so just wanted to shower and sleep. We were also given a card for complimentary breakfast. I wish I remembered the name of the person who checked us in. It was clear he was apologetic and wanted to help. We arrive to our room and on the initial entry to our floor noticed it seemed under construction maybe? Paint was unfinished along the bottom baseboards in the hall, but no biggie. Entered our room and it seemed okay. Large. Unpacked and prepared to shower. Moved the shower curtain back and there’s a HUGE ball of wet hair clustered on the tub. The toilet area has stains. I was so grossed out I could barely speak. I attempted to call down and the phone didn’t work in the room! Went down and showed the photo. Again, same person apologetic and moved us to another room. Still unkempt but we were soooo tired we just ****** it up, wiped down the bathroom ourselves (brought Lysol) and went to bed. Had breakfast the next day and the person in the breakfast area was so nice. When we checked out I attempted to speak with someone about our issues the previous night but there was only one person at the desk. She took my name, said “ you’re good”, and picked up the phone that was ringing off the hook. I wasn’t even asked the general “how was your stay”. We had a flight to catch so I couldn’t wait. I stay many places, most types. While I’d love to give a higher rating as most of the professionals I encountered were pleasant and caring, I just cannot in good conscious leave a higher review due to the cleanliness. I check here before I book ANYWHERE and I’m always looking for comments about customer service and cleanliness. For those like me, I want to save you the stress. Book elsewhere. Oh and if you’re wondering, yes, I was charged the full rate for my stay.

I had a great stay here. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are big. The kitchenette has great cabinet space and the fridge is a large size. The location is isolated and quiet but very close to New York City if you are looking to save some money by staying outside of Manhattan.
