My stay at the Embassy Suites near the Jersey Gardens Mall was average for a short stay. The room, although it was non-smoking, had a lingering smoke smell. The location near Newark airport was convenient with good food options, but being surrounded by a stockyard was a downside.

The service desk was able to send items to me online, but there was an unfortunate incident where a non-guest person stole my laptop, personal property, and briefcase when my room was opened. On the upside, the airport shuttle bus driver provided good service.

The hotel had mixed experiences for me. While the rooms were up to date, they had a lingering smell of weed smoke and strong bleach. The service was highlighted by excellent customer service but also included a disruptive incident during check-in. The location was convenient for our concert venue but made walking around challenging. The dining options varied from rushed service to decent local dishes. The facilities were satisfactory, with both positives and negatives.

My stay at the hotel was quite an experience. The rooms were uncomfortable, unclean, and in a bad state of disrepair. Despite being equipped with a microwave, fridge, and TV, I didn't use any of them during my quick six-hour sleepover after missing my connection. The scenery outside felt like it was from a scary movie, and the double bed wasn't very inviting.

The location was okay, but noisy, and the furniture didn’t seem safe. Being near the airport and in an industrial area along the flight path wasn't very appealing.

My stay at the Embassy Suites near the Jersey Gardens Mall was a mixed experience. The rooms, while regular in size, seemed to be getting old and had a strong smell of smoke despite being labeled as non-smoking. On the bright side, the service, especially at the kiosk and from the housekeeping staff, was wonderful. The location, though close to Newark Airport, felt a bit shady, but we didn't encounter any issues. The dining experience lacked breakfast options and needed renovations in the bathrooms.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a nice size but had a terrible smell and were extremely hot, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. The service was a mix of helpful staff and some who seemed preoccupied and unfriendly. The location was convenient for transportation but lacked nearby amenities. The dining experience was okay but overpriced. Overall, some aspects were good, while others left much to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but there were issues with the guest Wifi network and the overall upkeep of the room. The service needs improvement, although one clerk named Yolanda was helpful in resolving a problem. The location was convenient but noisy and lacked attention to furniture safety. The dining experience was rushed, and the meals were not complimentary. On the bright side, the facilities were decent, offering some value for money.
