Best Hotels near Howell Plaza Shopping Center, Howell

The room was nice. I arrived in the morning, so I had my luggage checked in, but when I checked in, it was very quick and I already had my luggage in my room. This is a hotel that I would definitely recommend.

The hotel is very clean, very hygienic, the staff is very welcoming, self-driving tour is very convenient in the hotel, there is parking location. There are cereals, bread, juice, and eggs for breakfast.

My 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! Bari W Solo traveler

My stay was nothing but the best! The staff went above & beyond in ever aspect! The front desk welcomed me & checked me in quickly - plus side if you are a Radisson Rewards Member you get a cute little welcome gift, This is what hospitality is all about! I stayed in one of there Junior Suites, this provided my family & I to have extra room to hangout & enjoy our stay! All the amenities such as pool, fitness center & restaurant were clean & up to date! We were close to downtown freehold as well as the mall so there was plenty of things to do in the area, I will be staying here for years to come!

Several other reviews have remarked about how tired and worn out this hotel is. Believe them. We recently stayed here for one night when in the area. The associates with whom we interacted at the front desk were all warm, friendly and professional. No issues with them at all. Breakfast was without issue, other than the space allotted for serving got a bit tight at times with too many people in too small of a space. The food was of decent quality and there was the usual assortment of Marriott breakfast items. The salsas were a nice addition. We were ”upgraded” to a two-bedroom ”suite” (due to status? other rooms in worse shape?) and while making our way there we noted the carpets in the hallways needed to be replaced. Once in our room, the carpet situation was even worse - stains and ripples led the way. There were a lot of cosmetic issues we noted straight off - dents in the stainless-steel refrigerator door, poorly done repairs that were still visible in the walls and ceilings, etc. No visible issues with cleanliness. The most obvious sign of deferred maintenance was that each of the three rooms had a window air conditioner unit. C'mon, you can't have your climate systems repaired? Later, from the outside, we noted that there were rooms here and there with window units. Really, it's just tacky. There were also little things that further pointed to the hotel cutting corners at the expense of guests - no sponge in the room, half-empty dish soap, no body lotion, no bag of microwave popcorn (though we haven't seen this since the pandemic at any Residence Inn...for no other reason than stinginess). Others have received responses from hotel management that renovations were planned but delayed due to the pandemic. More likely, I believe, is that the owner(s) is/are to blame. This hotel should lose its branding.
