Carlstadt Hotels with Pools

We were at this hotel for one night. There was a power failure which affected the hotel, and of course, this was not the hotel's fault, although it did result in inconvenience and discomfort to our stay. In addition, some guests were having a noisy party just outside the front entrance which was loud enough to keep me awake in the middle of the night -- our room was a few floors up overlooking the party. I felt that we deserved either compensation or credit for a future stay at a Hilton property, so I went to speak to the manager in the morning. However, there was a long line of people waiting to complain to the manager, and we had to leave, so I didn't get to speak with him. I subsequently emailed the manager 3 times to ask for compensation and he never replied. I called 5 times and the manager was supposedly never there. Finally, I spoke to the assistant manager. He listened attentively assured me that someone would get back to me. That was two weeks ago. I am very disappointed in this poor customer service and unprofessional behavior of their managerial staff.

The entrances to the rooms face each other, so I was a little worried about being seen by others going in and out, but the bed was big, the shower had hot water, and there was a refrigerator and hair dryer. The bus to NY is often about 20 minutes late, but there are many buses. You can't use credit cards on the bus, so you need to have some coins ready or download the app to buy a ticket in advance. I think it was about $5.15 one way to NY. At night, there are no lights or people, and only trucks are passing by, so it's a little scary, but if you run from the bus stop, you can reach the hotel in about 1 minute.
