I had a wonderful stay at the Raritan Hotel. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location was convenient, and everything I needed was easily accessible. I truly appreciated the pleasant atmosphere and would gladly stay here again!

This hotel is terrible. The rooms was dirty. The hotel has a no smoking policy, however we found cigarette butts in our room. The bedspread had cigarette burns. The bathroom had mold around the toilet. There were multiple places on the ceiling that was leaking throughout the hotel. I booked 3 rooms for myself and my family. We changed rooms 4 times in one night. We were traveling with little children that were exhausted or else we would've looked for somewhere else to go. Keep your money and stay away from this hotel.

What appeared to be bloodstains on the carpet. The tub also was dirty. Mirror was broken. Wallpaper falling down. Furniture is old and filthy. Hallway and room wreaked of cigarette smoke. Stray cats crawling all over the parking lot. Television got only 5 channels. Very weird creepy vibe.

I didn’t like anything it had a smell the minute you walked in when I asked to see the room ahead of time to make sure it is ok for my elder mom and she tripped over the ripped carpet the bed had hair on it weird stuff dripping down the walls the water in the sink wouldn’t turn off and the light didn’t work when asked to view another room it was worse then the first room I seen lipstick tube on the bed gum on the headboard and the mattress spring was sticking out of it. Property staff was very rude and didn’t care for anything else.

Não recomendo
Minha reserva não estava no sistema do hotel e a recepcionista não se interessou em resolver o problema. Tive que ligar para o hoteis.com e somente após isso, a recepcionista encontrou a reserva. As camas estavam limpas, mas o hotel está deteriorado. Não havia micro-ondas nem geladeira no quarto, conforme anunciado. Não recomendo.
