BBrandi JaymesMy check in and room were perfect by the absolutely lovely front desk woman who works 7pm when I checked in I wish I remembered her name… the very next day, I was overcharged $50 by a morning front desk employee who informed me they were “ sold out” and my “ only option would be to book through her” and she accepted 200 CASH “as long as I did the $25 deposit on a credit or debit card in my name”…. I was pressed for time and simply believed what I was being told in good faith as I’ve had never had an issue w a Hilton property over reservation charges and I am a Honors member for many years and much travel… suffice to say… I found availability for that night hours later when I had the time to review and attempt to book my third night…. Rooms were still(!) available online at rates lower that the 224 I was charged …. Third night I saved over fifty dollars by booking on Third party….
My suggestion is that prospective travelers Book Prior to stay and not reserve at front desk… this is common knowledge, but to tell me they were SOLD oUt and she was “ doing me a favor by extending my stay and allowing me to pay cash “( or perhaps ripping off both me and perhaps Hilton hotels ? I’m speculating on that… wish she had been accurate on my options if not outright LIE …. And I do not want to take Anything away from the great exp I had at check in ….the hotel is very comfortable without being modern in that way that NYC boutique hotels are… I find that sp**** mod look for hotel rather cold and pretentious…. Great smart TV w all access a clean room and all the amenities are what make this hotel a must if traveling to the area… just look thru Google hotels to find ur Very best rate .. and enjoy!
I sure did! Thank u Hampton inn Neptune, NJ!

GGuest UserThe room is slightly small;
The cleanliness is okay;
There is a road next to it, so you will hear the sound of vehicles whizzing by from time to time;
It's a pity that there is no hair dryer;
I stayed for two nights, but there seems to be no room clean service in the middle. Although it is not particularly necessary, anyway, towels and the like are enough for two days;
The service attitude is very average. When checking in, I only gave the room card, but did not tell the wifi password, and I had to ask him for the password before he would give it;
The air conditioner is quite old, and the rotary buttons don't work very well;
The biggest advantage is that there is no need to pay deposit, well, this is one of the few advantages.
Aarshyb1I wouldn’t say this place is exactly family friendly. It looked a little scary, but in the end, we just needed a place to stay that was on the cheaper side. It’s definitely not worth the price. Check in was easy. There’s free parking for guests (if you can find parking), but the rooms were basic. I booked a king size bedroom, but we got 2 double beds. It could be because we arrived late and they gave our room away. The place was pretty full.
It is really convenient if you are travelling from Newark Liberty Hotel because it’a only 5 minutes away. You can take the metro into the city or drive (the drive is about 40 mins into New York City). They are also pet friendly. Room service doesn’t seem to be available while the stay. I guess if you are staying long term you can ask for towel replacement and whatever else.
There wasn’t a hot tub like the pictures showed, but the bathroom does have a tub. They provide towels and soap, so bring your own things including a hair dryer if needed!
HHaThe location was great but definitely not worth $300 for the night. The floors looked updated with laminate flooring and furniture appeared kinda new but everything else was old. The room smelled of smoked, ceiling and floors had cracks all over, the tiniest and skimpiest towels. The hotel needs a major renovation in general. If we didn’t need to get a room last minute, I wouldn’t stay here again.
GGuest UserThis location is great for business travelers who are in need of basic accommodations at a great price! The lobby is kept clean and inviting, the staff is highly professional, the morning clerk Elizabeth is always smiling and ready to assist in any way she can and the location is hands down ultra convenient! Rooms are exactly as pictured, well stocked and safe. I have no complaints.
TT PleasantThe staff was accommodating while staying here. Needed to switch rooms due to the room nott being clean and they switched rooms immediately and that was much appreciated.
KKatThis is exactly what we needed. We were visiting family in Salem and Pennsville and this place gave us everything we needed for a good price. The adequately maintained. We didn't have any problems with our room, and there was TONS of hot water even though they were nearly full up. We'll be making this our regular place when in town.
GGuest UserI stayed at this hotel on 2 separate occasions; first night was a king bed and jacuzzi,second was a 2 Queen Non Smoking. On both occasions I stayed due to the fact that the deposit is only $40 Cash compared to AC hotel deposit of $150. And to add to it the Jacuzzi was amazing, although smaller than expected for 2 people. Enjoy.
GGuest UserThe employees are amazing and the room was very clean. The only downside is the that room we stayed in was next to the employee closet for cleaning supplies. The morning was loud because they were starting to clean the rooms. It was great other than that!
