Hotels near North Branch Park in Bridgewater

Towed from highway, needed emergency place to stay for one night. Very friendly greeting at registration. Room comfortable and spotless. Quiet room without slamming doors. Convenient to shopping, highway, restaurants.

We stayed at this hotel after comparing prices and location with two other nearby brands, Hampton inn and suites and holiday inn express. The reviews gave it a good rating, and the pictures of the lobby looked promising. Thank heavens I was only here with my son for one evening. The hotel Staff checking us in continued to eat his snack, a Twix bar, during the check in process. Taking my license and credit card with one hand and having the Twix in the other. We were given the furthest room on the second floor from the lobby - and not told what the easiest way to get there - mind you we had a cooler and some bags - and we weren’t told there were no elevators. This hotel was not sold out. Walking down the hallway there were some minor stains on the carpet and walls, and some rooms with towels at the bottom of their doors- either to keep smells in, or something out…. Upon entering our room we saw that it was clean but clearly dated. It was in a dire need of renovation. The bathroom had stains on the walls, lights that were out and the smallest bath towels you could imagine. If this was for anymore then one evening, we wouldn’t have stayed and I would’ve asked for a refund. The hotel manager did come out of the office during my check in experience and speak to the staff about putting his Twix down. And when we left the lobby area I could hear him talking about figuring out a process of how to check people in. So hopefully they get that figured out. But they seriously need help with the rooms. This should’ve been a $75 night and then I wouldn’t be writing this…

The housekeeper did a single knock on the door around 8:30am and proceeded to enter the room and I said hello and they left.. I then stepped out into the hall to ask if it was them and the woman nastily ignored me ”shooing” me away. The shower and sink had reminents of hair in them both as if someone shaved and all the hair didn't get cleaned. I had to clean them prior to using. I attempted to brew a cup of coffee in the morning and the part that holds the coffee was missing... good thing the lobby has plenty of good hot coffee! Breakfast selections were good! Upon arrival I asked if I could get a room with a shower instead of a tub and the woman whobwas helping the gentleman checking me in seemed irritated that I had asked for that. Overall the two employees at the front desk were NOT cheerful or welcoming and I felt like a bother. The gentleman did describe where things were in the hotel and was nicer than the woman. Hotel was nicely updated and beds were SO comfortable, nice large TV. Room itself was clean but could have been cleaner overall. Gym was lovely, pool area was nice. Lived the added security of the locks on all stair and elevator doors. Attempted to get ice in the morning to fill up my there's and there was no I've in 2 of the machines I tried.

Nice hotel, good hotel, good hotel

On arrival, we were greeted by a friendly staff member. He offered a choice of rooms and asked which floor we wanted to be on, and then he asked if we wanted housekeeping service during our stay, which was three nights. Because it was Christmas weekend, we told him we would go without unless we needed more coffee for our room. He advised us they no longer provided in-room coffee but it was available in the lobby 24/7 and was brewed fresh every hour. Our room (104) was clean and welcoming, the bed was very comfortable, and a refrigerator and microwave were there and in good condition. It was a little cooler in there than we like, so we turned the thermostat up a couple of degrees. From that moment on, every time the heat came on it sounded like a jet plane taking off, and when it turned off it sounded like a jet landing. Not conducive to a good night’s sleep. In the morning we went to use the shower, and we couldn’t get hot water. Tried to call the desk and got no answer. Had to get dressed to go to the desk, where the girl told me it sometimes shut itself off when the weather was cold, but she would turn it back on and we’d have hot water in 5 or 10 minutes. I got the last of the coffee from the carafe in the lobby, took it back to the room, and it was obviously not brewed during the past several hours, probably left over from yesterday. While waiting for hot water, went on my tablet and used the free Wi-Fi, which was good. After enjoying a hot shower, I tried shaving, but the mirror was all fogged up, and there was no exhaust fan. After it cleared, still couldn’t see much because of the poor lighting. Those strips of light down the sides of the mirror are totally inadequate. Nice mood lighting, but not good for seeing your up close. The free breakfast was good if you didn’t eat the eggs, which were supposedly scrambled, but apparently they were made from rubber, as I couldn’t even cut them with a knife. The waffles and muffins were good, and so was the yogurt. When we returned to the room for night two of listening to the jet planes, we had no Wi-Fi. Oh well, it was cold and windy, so maybe the cable was down. From then on, the was no Wi-Fi whatsoever. At checkout, we were told their system was down, so they would have to email our receipt. We will not be returning to this hotel , even though the location is ideal for us when visiting family. We’ll pay a little more and drive a little farther, but hopefully we’ll have a more pleasant stay somewhere else. I must add that the weather was terrible, with frigid temperatures and high winds, so a few of the difficulties could have been caused by that and not to be blamed on the hotel or its staff.

Hotel is nice and clean, great hotel to stay with family. Very nice lobby area to sit and relax with family. Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Pool is still closed due to Covid.

I had a lovely experience at this hotel. I arrived late night and the front desk person was very warm and friendly. I was given a room at the end of the hall and didn't hear a single person. The building is a bit older but all the furnishings were new and the bed was very comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I have stayed at this hotel off and on since February of 2022 when I started my chemotherapy treatments at Memorial Sloan Kettering cancer center in Basking Ridge. I was diagnosed with a rare form of non Hodgkin’s lymphoma called Mantle Cell Lymphoma in May of 2021. I am extremely grateful for this hotel for accommodating me while up in the area for treatments, and scans. As I’m getting better, my visits are less frequent, but I stayed here last month again, and wanted to thank the staff for their kindness especially Maya Dawkins and Jossehlyn. Thank you all very much. I look forward to my next stay, as that means I will hear more good news about my recovery. If you wish to follow my journey back to good health

We stayed here on 2 separate occasions during our 2 week summer vacation. The room we had on the first stay was an average sized room w/ a small fridge that didn't have a freezer. The suite we received on our second stay was a more typical suite we expect at a Homewood Suites - nice sized suite w/ a full kitchen. The breakfast was average with the usual spread of scrambled eggs, toast, muffins, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, but no bananas. On one occasion, we found the fresh fruit was spoiled. Overall we would stay here again because the location was convenient for us.
