At Holiday Inn Express Tower Center New Brunswick by IHG, many guests highlight clean, comfortable rooms and friendly service, while others cite dated areas and intermittent maintenance problems, leading to experiences that range from excellent to just okay.

The location is convenient to major highways and transit, but it is not very walkable and can be tricky to find. Breakfast draws many positive comments for variety and hot items, though some report undercooked food or equipment outages. Facilities are impacted by ongoing renovations, with recurring notes about pool cleanliness and gym equipment, plus occasional parking constraints or fees. Overall, expect a convenient, no-frills stopover rather than a polished, full-service stay.

Staying in this hotel while on biz trip I'd expect to be as less as troubled/bothered by even little tiny flaws ... The fact I have indicated the general experience as "Pleasing" indicates there have been certain flaws, for example: The general light in the room is very low, I guess they're using low consumption bulbs, in particular in the bathroom (I had to ask to replace the bulbs above the sink/mirror), on night #2 the bulb above the shower turned off completely and the next day the staff replaced it, breakfast was very good, staff was very king and responsive to my requests, On check-in I got surprised when notified they'd charge extra $5 for parking over night but eventually they didn't, perhaps because I expressed my resentment, I did not like they said they'd do my room only upon my specific request - on biz trip I want my hotel to do my room daily for the duration of my stay --- By and large it was pretty pleasant staying in this hotel yet one might want verifying these little tiny flaws (to my taste) up front ...

Easy check in and check out. Professional welcoming staff at the front desk. Excellent housekeeping services with everyday cleaning and fresh linens. Good free breakfast every morning. Lots of free convenient parking right in front of the hotel. Easy to get in and out on to the New Jersey turnpike and access state highways and other roads. Well connected and centrally located in New Jersey. Great value for money!

Left something to be desired but it was fine. The room had a strong musty smell as soon as we walked in that either got better with time or I just got used to it. The hotel shows it’s age. When I was leaving I noticed a small pile of dead bugs in the corner which was concerning! But overall I’d just call it “fine”. In MY OPINION there’s not much around except the Amtrak station and it’s certainly not walkable. If heaven forbid you have to go to New Jersey for some reason this is an okay place to stay.

I had an absolutely terrible experience at this hotel, and I would not recommend it to anyone. From the moment I walked in, the front desk guy was extremely rude and threatening. He immediately started harassing me, warning me that I would be kicked out if I drank or partied upstairs—simply because I looked young. I’ve never felt more unwelcome at a hotel. The breakfast was another disappointment. The food was undercooked and unappetizing. It was clear that no effort had been made to ensure the quality or taste of the meals. The pool was equally awful. The chlorine levels were so high that it was unbearable. You could smell the overwhelming stench of chemicals as soon as you entered the hotel, and anyone who stepped near the pool started coughing uncontrollably. It was more like a chemical bath than a place to relax. To top it off, the front desk guy was giving me dirty looks the whole time, acting like he was somehow superior to me. It made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, and definitely not the kind of experience I was hoping for. Overall, my stay was miserable, and I wouldn’t return here even if it was free. Stay far away from this place if you want a pleasant and comfortable experience.

There was no available 2 queen beds in the property when we checked in. We were moved to residence inn nearby but was given a king bed and sofa bed as they don't have 2 queen beds either. We were told by the manager on duty that we don't have to pay any extra fees for the transfer but my credit card was charged $536.44 . I informed both the front desk and their manager and was told that they are going to fix it and asked my email too. I hope they don't double charge me for this inconvenience.

The room we received (1 king bed) was not what we reserved for 4 people (2 queen beds). Upon speaking with the front desk I was told there are no other available rooms and that this happens all the time with their system. Additionally another member of our party (3 families traveling together) had to be moved to a different hotel because they over booked (again something they said happens as a resultnof their system) and did not have a room for them.

Breakfast was not as advertised. Food labeled as “egg white and veggie omelette” was actually just scrambled egg whites no Veggies in sight. Scrambled eggs tasted like hard boiled egg yolks. Watered down apple juice. Pancake machine was “out of order”. Cheap shortcuts made the food/juice bad quality. We picked this hotel because breakfast was included and we ended up having to still spend money after leaving to get breakfast. Lint, dust, and hair found in the actual room.

I suspect the pancake machine was “out of order” so the staff didn’t have to clean it. The ice machine on the first floor didn’t work, there wasn’t one on the second floor. With the exception of the front desk staff I don’t think any of them speak.
