What a horrid stay at this heavy-use hotel. The owner/manager refuses to address restitution for damage to my personal property that occurred in this hotel room while I was downstairs in a conference. I was made to wait for six days before receiving contact after the incident -- and I was only contacted because the owner/manager was unhappy with my truthful but negative review. I deleted that review and reposted a more current review after I had been contacted and was told the issue would be ”escalated.” Gave them the benefit of the doubt. The owner/manager again responded on that review, trying to portray them as innocent. Three days later, a man identifying himself as from the ”Hilton Parsippany Legal Department” called me loudly and argumentatively, claiming I had been contacted more than the one call when that staff person said it needed ”escalation.” He was obviously angry at the review, but still did not address restitution for the damage to my property in that hotel room. I told him my review was honest, he was being abusive and hung up. He called back, behaving similarly, and I hung up again. I called the Parsippany Police, and the officer advised me to make a police report with my local police and have it forwarded. The officer said the same thing I said to the man who was ”allegedly” from their ”legal department” -- I am well within my rights to leave a negative review, since this was my true experience. Later the same day, I received an email from this owner/manager, which had odd wordings, strange punctuation, lack of capital letters -- saying it was a manager who attempted to call me but I ”hanged up on him,” leaving out the legal department part, offering to try to call me again the next morning, ”respectfully” this time -- to which I responded in writing: I restated the issues, informing them that I would not be answering any more phonecalls, that they needed to respond in writing. I copied Hilton Corporate in that correspondence, as well as the director of the conference I attended. When I contacted Hilton Corporate, I reported the damage to my property, the poor conditions present during that stay, and that I had followed up with the police. Hilton Corporate issued a case number, and this is as far as resolution has progressed as of today, almost a week later. On the last review I left, the owner/manager posted a response, again meant to portray them in a positive way, despite the true experience, claiming a ”backstory.” The next day, after I had spoken to Hilton Corportate, this comment came down. Today, this owner/manager had posted a different response, this time more appropriate, but asking ME to contact HIM. Again. The hotel management has all my contact details, they have pictures of the damage, and Hilton Corporate has my details as well. This manager has merely ”fielded” complaints without just resolution. I will attach photos of both my review and the manager's various comments on my reviews. In addition to photo
1 star is generous. The general manager of this roach motel, Jasbir Singh, is a shady, lying, vile slum lord. His own employees told me that he's notorious for forgetting what he's said and lying to guests... I experienced this first-hand. I called to check availability. I spoke to Jasbir, who confirmed his name during our conversation. I asked for a military rate. He said they don't have one, but he'd give me a courtesy discount price of $452.76/week. I reconfirmed his name. The next day, the woman with whom I checked in called Jasbir to confirm the discount he'd promised me. He told her he didn't remember having such a phone call. She gave me the discount anyway. A week later, I went to the front desk to pay for another week, but was told I'd need to speak with Jasbir to get the same discount. The woman told me to not pay anything until I speak to him. However, Jasbir was never around when I was told he would be. This happened when I tried to pay the next week, too. After I'd been there 2 1/2 weeks, another manager called to ask when I am planning to pay. I told him about Jasbir's discount, and just like the women two different times at the front desk, this manager told me to talk to the elusive Jasbir Singh. That same day, I finally found Jasbir. Trying to be a succinct as possible, my conversation with Jasbir went as follows: He yelled and screamed and told me he never spoke to me on the phone, blamed his employees for making mistakes, and called me a liar -repeatedly- for saying that he and I had a phone conversation he'd forgotten about. HE SAID HE DOESN'T GIVE A MILITARY DISCOUNT BECAUSE ”I DON'T GIVE A SH*T ABOUT THE MILITARY.” He demanded I pay the full rate for the past 1 1/2 weeks I'd been trying to track down my discount, which I refused based on what he promised (and principal). When he knew that he had no more cards to play, and I'd proven that he'd made a mistake, he even threatened to call the police. All of this unnecessary drama because he either forgot what he'd told me or he did a bait-and-switch. Judging by the unprofessional manner by which he addressed my issue, I think it was the latter- he was just trying to get me to pay significantly more for the 1 1/2 weeks that were due- the 1 1/2 weeks that I was lead to believe I'd be paying the rate promised to me. An hour after this conversation, I went to the front desk to retrieve a package that USPS confirmed was delivered earlier that day. Jasbir refused to give it to me. Jasbir Singh is a deranged little bald man. 2 other guests have told me that this establishment either did the same thing to them or to someone they know. The place is also constantly under-staffed. Jasbir Singh is a dirty, lowlife swindler. Record every conversation you have with anyone at this place, and DO NOT EXPECT THIS BUSINESS TO HONOR THE PRICE THEY GIVE YOU.
Hotel staff was pleasant and room was clean and updated. I chose this location for the free breakfast but was a little disappointed in the quality and space provided. Was very busy at 8 am and very hard to get around to even get food; didn't have time to wait for more hot food to be put out. Thankfully they had some fruit we could grab and eat on our way.
Booked 2 rooms for out of state family to attend local wedding. Very good location. Near restaurants, stores, church. Front desk answered all my questions and addressed any concerns. Clean facility. Adjacent restaurant and nice bar, frequently with entertainment. Good breakfast with nice variety included in stay. All the personnel I dealt with were extremely professional and accommodating.
