What guests think

Across many reviews, Scottish Inn Whippany is described as a heavily worn, poorly maintained property with widespread cleanliness problems, strong odors, aging buildings, neglected common areas, and a generally uncomfortable, sometimes unsafe, environment.

Service feedback is frequently negative, citing rude or absent staff, long check-in delays, reservation problems, and rooms double-assigned or not honored. Many reviews also mention misleading listings, especially about included breakfast and in-room features like TVs, fridges, or microwaves that were missing or not working. Several guests felt unsafe due to people loitering, noise, and the condition of the grounds, though one traveler noted an easy refund after declining a room for its condition. Expect a budget stay with significant risks and few reliable amenities.

When I arrived at the property and took one look at it, I was afraid for my life. There was an abandoned van outside right under a flickering street light that looked like it was right out of a horror movie. One of the guests had big dogs with them in the room and left the door cracked. I’m lucky the dogs didn’t chase me. There was unidentifiable stains on the carpets, odors and difficult to even find the receptionist desk. Even Diddy sweats at the mention of this place. Even Diddy wouldn’t come to this place. STAY AWAY.

It’s lie on the website that the breakfast is included, there is no breakfast. The property is kind of rundown property, dirty, broken glasses, doors, windows. Poorly maintained rather I should say not maintained. I will not recommend this place to anyone. Rooms are not even worth for $50 per day and they are charging way more. It’s a rundown, dirty, and horribly maintained motel.

When I arrived, it is two hotels that are under the name. There are people all hanging out of their hotel rooms and lingering around. It felt unsafe but we needed a room. He gave me the key to the room in the office. It had a bad smell when we went up to the room the whole building had a bad smell. There was a roach on the door and as soon as you walked in the lights to the hotel room did not work, except for in the bathroom. when I turned on the light in the bathroom, several roaches scattered across the floor we instantly took our bags out. I went to the Desk manager he said he didn’t have any more rooms to give me which I was completely fine with because I know if one room has it they all have it and so he said that he would issue me a refund no problem whatsoever so I was appreciative of that at least. The pictures on Expedia are not accurate on this hotel

This place was full of roaches and had a horrible nights sleep, ended up killing about 30 roaches while I was staying there they were all over in the cabinets, in the dresser, on the bed, and generally not a clean room. Also, the television did not work and had no signal and Management was not cooperative and helping out at all.

Terrible! Roaches are all over. I stayed the weekend from October 13-15. I told the front desk that my tv doesn’t work, I had a weekend of no television and once again, ROACHES. Turn around and run away from this place.

I’m just writing this review now, almost 5 months later. I’ve been meaning to do it to warn everyone before it was too late. But I just never got around to it. I didn’t read the reviews before I went there. But because of this hotel, I now read as many reviews as possible before I make a decision. This is the original ROACH MOTEL. I booked a king room at this hotel for 2 nites. Because of an emergency, I didn’t go the first nite. I. Called the hotel that nite to let them know that I would be there in the morning. The money was already taken off my CC already. Hanging at my mom’s house, I didn’t get there until the evening. The guy behind the window tells me that he doesn’t know whether he has that room anymore. He tells me that I said I was coming in the morning. I Informed him that I had a family emergency going on. But despite that, no matter what time I went there, the room was already paid for with my money. So the room should’ve stayed empty for the time it was paid for. He game me the last room he had left which was a Queen room with no fridge or Microwave or toilet paper. That wasn’t the type of room that I paid for. He tells me that I didn’t request the fridge or microwave. I reminded him that the advertising stated those things. Why did I have to request? Anyway Roaches Galore. I stayed at a resort that week. But I had to keep all my things at this hotel also so that I wouldn’t be bringing roaches back with me. I went thru everything before I put them in the car.
