Nice enough hotel, although not the cheapest in the area.
Breakfast was standard large hotel fare, nothing special but OK.
One good thing about the hotel is that it is close to Metropark station, about 5-10 minutes drive away. From here trains to New York Penn station take about 45 mins. Round trip tickets cost $24.40 per adult. I always got parked at the car park even when arriving late. Parking was reasonable, $7 for the day.
Some downsides to hotel. Firstly, the aircon / ventilation. Even if you switched it off, there was a constant drone / humm which affected my sleep. Secondly the room design is the type whilst the toilet and shower are in a separate room with a door, the washbasin is in the bedroom and in this case is right next to the bed, so getting up in the night is not a quiet affair for your partner.
One of the reasons that we picked this hotel is that it has a kitchen in the room. However, this is only of limited use, for instance there is no oven, just a basic microwave and a couple of small hotplate/hobs. You can’t even cook a pizza properly.
Another the reason we chose this location is because it has a large Target supermarket next door. Unfortunately, it had very limited supplies in the way of food so we spent our time driving to the local Whole Foods Market about 10 mins drive, or to Walmart about 15 mins away.
If staying in this area again, I would probably look at other options before booking the Homewood Suites for another stay.
