The room is OK, that is, another building is far from the front desk, and there is no elevator on the second floor. On a hillside, the scenery is not bad. Close to the highway and convenient transportation.

Always my go to Location when I'm in the area. What I like the most is the easy access off of route 80, the parking lot is large enough to park oversized vehicles.The rooms have been updated, and the staff always will try to accommodate my requests. I've used the Ford room for my Company meetings the room is clean and ready when I arrive, Although the staff as changed over time. I do miss Danelle she worked the front desk on the evening shift she was great ! The gentleman on the front desk over night is pleasant I usually get a ”have a good day” from him when I'm sneaking out in the early morning. I did have an interaction recently with the young lady on the front desk with the dog. I was trying to get the dogs attention, she asked please don't talk to the dog and went on to tell me that her dog was a service animal. her tone seemed abrasive at first, then I realized there is a reason why she has the dog with her. I told her I was sorry and to have a good night. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Hotel is clean and new! I wish I could give them 5 stars for how pretty and clean it is) I reserved a room on my travels because they claimed they had EV chargers. But they only have Tesla chargers ( not sure if these are destination charges or superchargers) and even they were unusable as they were not unwrapped and connected yet. It took nearly two weeks to hear back from general manager, who was sympathetic but claimed it wasn’t in her justification. I asked that she share it with the owners as feedback. Incidentally, the front desk often goes unanswered. I wasted my reward points on this stay.

This was a perfect location to stay while visiting our son in Mt. Arlington. We had never been to New Jersey before. With the exception (unexplained..) of the fire alarm going off one night, this hotel was one of the QUIETEST places we've ever stayed. (Even though, I learned they had 3 wedding groups staying there). It's far back off the road, and next to a Hilton Homewood suites. The king-sized room was just right for 2 people. It has a pull out sofa but IMO (3) people would NOT be comfortable in the room, it's way too small. Very nice kitchen amenities (even a dishwasher), could allow 1-2 people to stay here several weeks if needed. We didn't use the pool (it has ALOT of restrictions during these Covid times). The room / hotel was impeccably clean. Very large parking lot (shared between the 2 hotels). Though the bathroom is small, due to the closet design, there's a long closet between the bathroom and the kitchen area (helping with air flow). Bed super comfortable and the shower was amazing. 2 ”less than great” things are: there's no housekeeping service during covid times (I did not want it DAILY, but believed it was 'on request'. ). You can get a towel refresh and shampoo, etc. but that's it. The breakfast (grab and go), like another writer mentioned, was just ...not good. The odd thing was that everything is individually wrapped (even the slices of bread to toast!) but: you're still touching the toaster handle, the microwave handle and buttons, etc. (doesn't make much sense). There were whole apples (maybe small fruit cups would be better) and the waffles did not taste good at all. Butter patties were frozen. Individual yogurts were a good idea, and the juice was good. Coffee is available 24/7. There were also some kind of breakfast sandwiches to ”nuke” but they didn't look good to me. IMO breakfast closed early on a weekend: 9am. A high point - the laundry room is very nice, very clean. But BE PREPARED with quarters -- it's $1.50 per load to wash or dry. (I always bring laundry pods and dryer sheets). Nearby: there is Rockaway Mall which (contrary to what another writer said) is really big (but fairly devoid of people). There are some restaurants around, and a Costo. But if you are used to buying alcohol / beer / wine etc. at a grocery store, you can't in NJ. We were dissappointed to find that the Shop Rite 'package store' section closed at 8pm on a Sunday. This hotel and the Hilton, do not have bars or restaurants on site. OVERALL -- very impressed with the hotel, and if you stay in Rockaway (not Dover), the area is very nice. We would 100% stay here again.

Had stayed at the Townplace Suites before when visiting family in this area. This time there was no availability there, so I booked the Homewood Suites for the 2 nights we were in town, even though I was aware the reviews for this hotel weren't as good. Of all the Homewood suites I stayed at over the years this one is by far the worst. Starting with check-in, the front desk clerk was very uninformative. No recognizing my Hilton Honors membership, no instructions on amenities or breakfast hours, etc. After settling in I went to the lobby to get some hot water for tea, and found the water was barely luke-warm. Heated it in the microwave in the room. Breakfast next morning was equally disappointing. This location doesn't have the belgian waffle maker that all other HW suites I've stayed at does. The usual omelettes/sausage selections were just as cold as the hot water was (again). We decided to eat breakfast at a nearby diner the next morning. Other things we noted: the drain under the sink was dripping water the first morning of our stay, and I noticed there was tape (not duct tape, brown tape) wrapped around the drain pipe leading to the trap! The shower curtain rod was badly bent, and the anchors at either end were loose in the wall. There were spackle spots next to each anchor, and I realized when I took a shower that the tub is so slippery many people must have grabbed the curtain instead of the safety bar, which explains why the anchors were pulled out of the wall! The front desk personnel was always someone different from Friday night to Sunday when we went to talk to someone, and nothing was ever fixed. This location is badly in need of renovation and upgrading. There needs to be an overhaul of personnel (in terms of continuity and wanting to help), and the food needs to be HOT. The cost for 2 nights was outrageous compared to the condition and service of this hotel, especially since we've experienced the Townplace Suites next door.

I've been spoiled staying in brand new Marriott properties in the past year on LI and upstate NY, so I was immediately disappointed when we turned into this dark and creepy Marriott. Our room had a musty odor (all of our clothes in the laundry at home right now, definitely don't want to smell like that) but it was fairly clean. The bathroom fixtures, sinks and appliances are showing signs of wear (brown ring around the drain, toilet didn't flush well, microwave button panel cracked, fridge doesn't fit in the cabinet and wasn't quite cold enough but VERY cold in the far right corner, the sliding door on balcony didn't lock very well). The pool is tiny and hot tub inconsistently heated. The shower outside of the pool (which is a nice thing to have) was REALLY aged and when i turned on the light, a medium sized city centipede (the last time I saw this type of centipede was when I lived in Manhattan) scurried out of the shower. This was around 8 am so they say if you see these things in the day, it's quite an infestation. Thank god our room wasn't on the ground floor AND I saw it about an hour before we checked out. I have issues sleeping in hotel beds as it is. These beds weren't too bad. I just feel like the whole hotel needs a gut renovation. Sadly, I don't think there's a newer, better option in Parsippany, though! The rooms WERE quiet, and the staff pretty nice. There were lots of towels at the pool. There's a reverse osmosis water dispenser in the fitness room so you can refill your bottle.

Here's the list: WiFi didn't work in our room - during the entire stay. We mentioned it to the guy at the front desk and were told ”sometimes we have issues in the rooms. Try it again when you get upstairs.” No solution, no asking if we wanted a different room. We went out and when we returned, there was a different guy at the desk. Mentioned it to him, and he asked if we had tried using the directions that were TAPED TO THE FRONT DESK. No, we had tried using the directions given to us with the keys when we checked in. They were DIFFERENT. We were able to get on WiFi in the lobby but then it still didn't work in our room with either login. There was only 1 elevator working the entire time - which had been the case when we stayed there SEVEN MONTHS ago. The pool was ”being repaired” so it wasn't open. It looked fine, but unavailable to guests. The next morning the TV in our room wasn't working and it also wasn't working in the main room where breakfast is eaten. And finally, the shower head had water coming out of only 1 of 3 possible places. Thankfully we were both tall enough to reach the shower head to adjust it a bit. Not sure what you do if you're 5'2.

This review is only my experience after 3 weeks in this place. Not a good one.manager prefers work crews in the area opposed to single business people. Many things went wrong in my room as well as on the property however he always had some excuse. The straw that made me leave was that every weekend there were free for alls and no supervision. People would be drunk and smoking pot and noone in the hotel told them to stop. I was told that I would have a quiet apt for anger stay. Every weekend I got no sleep. One night 2 girls checked in at midnight and kept me up all night which caused me to miss a meeting. The sales woman told me there were no one bedrooms available that weekend so people had to be put in the room under me. Not true. I checked on line I was able to book 3 one bedrooms available. I would never check in with children or even business men. This place is good for truckers only.also truckers were washing their trucks in the small parking lot on weekends. All this place want is too fill rooms. They don't care with whom.

Hotel staff was pleasant and room was clean and updated. I chose this location for the free breakfast but was a little disappointed in the quality and space provided. Was very busy at 8 am and very hard to get around to even get food; didn't have time to wait for more hot food to be put out. Thankfully they had some fruit we could grab and eat on our way.
