Best Hotels near Morris Plains Borough Museum, Morris Plains

First time at this property or any Sonesta brand hotel. Nice room and good location. Power outage during an excessive heat warning in NJ did not help when the power was out from 6:30pm ish until at least 3:30am. We are seniors on the third floor. No air conditioning, lights, TV, use of in room kitchen etc. Basically, a dark room with for walls. Staff provided no helpful information or estimated repair times, which EVERY utility company I have had, where I lived always did. No backup generators to power the rooms. No designated place to charge your phones. NOTHING! and, no adjustment on our bill during checkout or even an apology. Second night of our stay, power went out within 30 seconds of us getting off the elevator and walking a short distance to our room, nearly trapping us. Opened a case with the care team and have heard nothing in over two weeks. Very disappointed with Sonesta :(

Very nice people and the location is great too. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Good, clean and quiet, fully equipped, the shower design is a little weird.

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.

It's a lovely interior and has decent accomodations and good service. They want 200 characters for each review but my first sentence says it all, I think. We looked forward to retreating to our room each night and enjoyed a liesurely breakfast in the morning.

The hotel room is large and tidy. But it probably has something to do with our weekend stay. There were people playing super loud speakers upstairs or in the rooms next to each other very late at night, and the guests staying there were very mixed. It should be a low-end Hilton hotel, and the price is okay

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.

Overall good, the new Indian general manager is amiable and hands-on. The water is hot and there is a bathtub to soak in. It's just that you can smell the odor after entering the door, maybe the new management will eliminate these odors soon. There is a restaurant opened by Fujianese next to the hotel, which tastes very good and is worth tasting.

Very new hotel, breakfast is not bad

We're Bonvoy members because we like Westins. According to the Marriott corporate website, the Marriott brand and the Westin brand are both considered “Premium” Bonvoy properties. As such we expected a similar level of service to what we've received staying in Westin properties. Unfortunately this particular Marriott is a stunning disappointment. We arrived at the property for check-in to find there was no valet parking. They charge a parking fee of $15.00US, which they charged by default, even if you have no vehicle there. Several of our friends who arrived by taxi had been charged. They had to call back and get the charges removed. In addition, there was no staff at all to assist with baggage. Everyone had to haul their own. There was an exciting scavenger hunt to find a luggage cart whenever you needed one. The rooms are clean and present well. I appreciate that there are walk-in showers instead of tubs. I question the choice to use a vinyl composite flooring instead of carpet. The hard surface makes the room noisy, the floor cold, and has a very “Super 8” feel to it. As with the Westins, the beds are quite comfortable. We originally intended a 7 night stay, but due to reservation issues we opted to cut back to 5 nights. I've called the property a dozen times over the course of 14 months to reserve a hospitality suite for the week. The sales manager here is either incompetent, lazy or both. In that 14 month window she was unable to fulfill even this exceedingly basic request. She ignored every single one of Marriott's 5 core values and ruined a trip we've been planning for three years. Our first experience with the on-site dining elicited a mixed reaction. The food was better than expected, and our server was extremely accommodating. We had a table that ended up being 12 people (started with 6, expanded as additional people arrived). Some left and others took their spots. All told we were there about 2-1/2 hours. The hostess was quite cranky, apparently it was inconvenient for her that we were still buying drinks and chatting. She pointed out a few times that we couldn't stay long, as she had another group coming in. That struck us as odd, as she'd told us earlier that they don't take reservations. Even our server was getting annoyed with her, probably afraid she was ruining his tips. We found that breakfast service is short, closing by 9:30, and the staff member in charge of the lobby coffee was quite anxious to shut off the coffee machine Friday morning, even though several of us were gathered in the lobby chatting and...wait for it...drinking coffee. Apparently she was afraid the guests would avail themselves of...guest amenities? There was no coffee service at all on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Hotel tip: Anyone staying at a property Marriott considers “Premium” shouldn't have to order coffee delivered. The convention space is nice. It's smaller than most I've been to, and really too small for the convention we were attending. That
