The 10 best hotels in New Jersey, United States

June 22, 2022 Terina Blouin

Whether you are looking for sun-drenched beaches or outdoor activities in beautiful countryside, New Jersey has plenty to offer. Those who love the great outdoors should head for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which runs along the Delaware River for forty miles. Here you can go rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking or fishing, or simply admire the stunning waterfalls. There is a huge range of hiking trails to choose from as well as historic sites to visit. In winter, you can enjoy cross-country skiing near Blue Mountain Lakes, and birdwatchers might be lucky enough to catch sight of bald eagles. If you are looking for a change, visit one of New Jersey's eleven lighthouses that are open to public, such as the one in Cape May. For art and history enthusiasts, New Jersey State Museum in Trenton has historic artifacts and American fine art from the nineteenth century to the present day as well as a Planetarium.

Being a diamond plus, means nothing to anyone there. We had an early check in arriving at 11:15 the girl at the front desk said nothing is ready. We told her our host requested a suite she said can not give you one. ( not good) so we left 1:00 pm we go back to the deck was told nothing is ready yet we leave again. Finally we got so upset we go back to the desk ask for a manager we said this is very Unacceptable waiting this long. She told us well because you waited How upgrade you to a suite, we’ll our host Requested us a suite.The first girl we talked to was rude she had a bad attitude. We are thinking about finding a new casino to play at. When we made our reservation we should have been told about all the Renovations being done where we always play was no longer. The machines upstairs would not take our code to get a cocktail or the account to view. Our stay this time was not good at all. We play at Caesars a lot. Not happy

The room includes superior bedding, Icona robes to wear while visiting, microwave, refrigerator, safe, private outdoor balcony, immaculate and well stocked bathroom area, cable tv, and amazing AC temperature control. I would give this room 10 stars ?. The private balcony was cozy and overlooked the beach. Free coffee in lobby every morn8 g at 7 AM. Housekeeping was excellent.

Hotel was awesome. Room was perfect, except for the window treatment that was nt entirely in place but since I was on the 35th floor, was not concerning....just noticeable. What was also notable was the difference in staff. AT check in, I observed the most friendly and upbeat agent helping another registrant. I was hoping she would be free when it was my turn. She wasn't, unfortunately. The agent who helped me got the job done without a smile or conversation but more importntly without roviding an important piece of information that put me in a whilrspin at check out which was also less than embracing. I was there with my cousins who were checking out before me and came back to ask about an extra $25.00 fee. My receipt had the same amount. The agent first told my cousin that the extra was because there was second person in her room. Bogus. When called on it the agent said it was the early check in amount. Had the first agent checking us in told us about tht (rediculous) extra, we would noit have checked in. We would have had lunch first and then checked in. We could also have chilled in the pool area except it was closed to the public that day. WHAT? The check out agent checked with whomever and removed the extra charge for both of us, but it sure didn't leave a good impression. So, I will tell people who ask what I thought to make sure they confirm any extra or hidden charges should they decide to stay at this hotel. Additionally, I would recommend additional customer service programs to make sure every employee is friendly, informative and most importntly, welcoming (as was the agent I mentioned earlier.) It makes a difference and leaves a lasting impression. Thanks for asking. What sort of trip was this? You don't have an EVENT option listed. It was an event I attended with family. I suggest adding that as an option..

The Yard restaurant is Horrible

Reviewed By Pat D

Waiter/ bartender was pushy just to start. He tried to be helpful but was overbearing. The menu items all were spicy or hot or items came totally dressed up. Wanted a plain cheeseburger and he says it comes with bacon, I told him I don't eat bacon and he didn't even offer to take it off. We got the foot long hot dog $20. Told waiter mustard, onions and cheese. It came out with spicy BBQ onions, that is not what I ordered. Too spicy for my wife to eat. Never offered to comp or replace with another item. Very bad experience - Don't Go there-
