Residence Inn by Marriott Somerset

This property needs updating. Complete updating. I realize it is near a university—always booked and sticky, but Marriott needs to gut this place. We had to switch rooms due to water stains and mold and all the broken tiles in the bathroom. Second room had most bathroom tiles broken and was a queen bed instead of a king—receptionist didn’t bother to mention this and offered no bill credit. Bed was swaying in the middle and didn’t have the mattress cover at all— the bed in the first room had one. Had to call maintenance to fix the slow toilet that had no shut off valve—this may contribute to the tile problem. So Marriott—time to gut and redo—still popcorn ceilings and painted-over wallpaper. Furniture needs stain crayon fixes or to be sold off at auction. The cleaning staff was lovely and got the place as clean as possible, but the coffee machine still needed much bleach… And I do appreciate the useful trash cans in the hall, because people these days are slobs, but the barrels could have been nicer to look at as these are the same that go out on the street. Take that in for a minute. And the sign outside says Re——-ce Inn, so some light bulbs as well. Should say Days Inn.

I was not happy that i was not told about the pool being perminately closed. It was one of the reasons that i chose this hotel. The breakfast was lacking, i wish there were some better choices and it was not stocked rapidly as the items were running out. Besides that, everything was fine.. nice hotel, would stay again

The property showed a pool, however when we got there we were told there was no pool on property. The room however was nice and neat with enough dishware, pots and pans. The breakfast was not as wholesome as we thought but it was available.

As with many places furniture and cabinets need an update.

Breakfast is terrible and has degraded over time. Facility needs repairs and entrance carpet should be changed. The house keepers are great and always cheerful as well as Flora, Joshua. Others are not as good /hospitable

All amenities needed for our stay however everything is outdated. Also, our room was freezing. We all woke up with the sniffles.

Residence Inn as a whole has gone down in overall appearance and quality or just this one? Since when did they start giving paper dishes and plastic spoons for breakfast? Since when did they start charging for water bottles? There are so many weird and not-so-good things about this hotel - no cabinets under the kitchen top, no cutlery, and the vanity area was so cramped. Stained walls. I will really hesitate to book Residence Inn in the future.

It was pleasant. Not very modern but made up for with a friendly staff and nice food options nearby. No pool anymore it seems

Very clean and spacious room , centrally located for our purpose , we were here on a college tour for Rutgers but the property is old but well kept definitely needs upgrades on the furniture

Noisy. Thin walls. Stomping heard from above our entire stay. Fan broke in the kitchen & they declined to fix it. House keeping staff was very friendly though. Front desk didn’t help much with our questions.

Good overall experience -- the room was slightly dated but very clean and smelled good. Breakfast was also good -- no complaints here. I would recommend to others.

There was barely any hot water in the room, the refrigerator made a noise something awful Euhus throughout the night. The room smelled of pets, pets, and covering it up. Probably one of my most inconvenient Marriott stays.

Convenient, clean and the staff was very helpful and responsive to my needs.

Room was clean . Loved the kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Would stay there again.

We had a fantastic three-week stay at this hotel with our service dog, and we highly recommend it, especially for long stays. We booked a studio room, which was very convenient and well-equipped. The kitchen appliances met all our needs, making it easy to prepare meals. The bed was comfortable, and we always had hot water, which was a big plus. The housekeeping staff was incredibly kind and attentive, always checking in to see if we needed anything. The front desk team was just as welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable. Our service dog felt completely comfortable here, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating toward him, which made us feel truly welcome. Another great perk is the location—plenty of dining and shopping options within a 10-minute radius. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and accommodating long-term stay!

Pleasant stay although rooms are a bit dated. The service was impeccable as you would expect.

First time staying here. The bed was very comfortable and was nice having the separate bedroom/living room space.

Food options are limited and bed is very tiny and to tight to sleep.

The hotel had friendly staff, was clean, and was quiet. The staff also loved my dog.

Great staff, very friendly and communicative

Staff was welcoming and helpful . Perfect area and close to major highways, clean and quiet. Will stay here again for sure!

Staff here is remarkably helpful, especially Lola! Nice comfortable room. We will stay again

Checking in and out was very good.

Checkin was smooth. The room was clean & comfortable

I enjoyed my stay there. What had me frustrated is that before checking in I had told the staff member that I have a Expedia reservation number and she acknowledged it and then proceeded to double charged me for the room. I did not realize till later that night and I had to have another staff member reverse the charge. Other than that I had a great stay.

Stayed her for quick weekender trip for an event and meet up with a friend. Staff were accommodating and had my room cleaned everyday which was nice. Only iffy was the breakfast was pretty simple.

This is an amazing hotel but the best part is the staff. They are all so friendly and made my 2 week stay as good as I've ever had at any hotel. The breakfast is excellent.
