This has to be the worse Comfort Inn we have ever stayed at. We are Choice members and loyal customers to Choice Hotels but this hotel will never see me again. The parking lot is very small and tight, the interior is showing it's age and needs an extreme make over. The room smelled like it was a kennel, stains in the carpet and dust everywhere. At the desk a sign says no pets but dogs where present and on various floors. We were confronted by a very unfriendly Malamute about 100 lbs. which should not been allowed. On our second day the person who is supposed to do the breakfast was 30 minutes late to work so everyone had to wait for her to set up but the night clerk would not lift a finger to help her. The computer was not functioning very well, the printer was out of ink and no one knew how to correct the issue. Overall this is not up to Comfort Inn standards and not even an Econolodge and surely not not worth $100 a night.
I was traveling north and stopped along the way to rest. I got the last room available that night. It was very clean and exactly what I needed for the night. The updated room didn't feel like it was just a coat of paint. I liked the 11AM check out. Having my name on the TV to welcome me was a nice touch. The staff were very nice. Breakfast was the standard buffet but they kept it well stocked. I do wish they'd had orange juice vs flavored water, though. Hotel was not far off the NJ Turnpike and honestly more economical than I expected for being located where they might catch weary travelers (like me). I didn't linger in the area long but I did notice nearby gas stations. Getting back on the highway was easy. Parking is free (no valet) and I didn't feel unsafe. I didn't use the amenities but I did notice a self-serve laundry room. I think it was $4 a load, but honestly so few hotels even have one that it's a great thing to see when you've been on the road a bit or have small children. They also seemed like full sized washers/dryers, too, not those little half sized things some places grudgingly put in. The ice maker was also positioned so I personally didn't hear it at night and though I did hear highway traffic I also chose a hotel near a highway. Not that big a deal. The shades were nice and the temp control worked well. Beds were comfy and there were PLENTY of outlets and charging ports. My only complaints (barely) are that the mini fridge didn't seem to be keeping very cool and the food area for breakfast was a little small/tight. I've had problems with mini fridges at many hotels so I am not much bothered unless it's a long stay. A long buffet vs a U shaped room might help the flow. I'd stop here again.
I had a dog event not far from Bordentown. I had stayed here before the the hotel was OK and I wanted to stay at another local hotel. But the price for my dog was more than I wanted to spend. So I decided to stay again and I was pleasantly surprised how clean and updated the room was. (I even went to the manager and thanked him) The staff there couldn’t be any nicer and helpful. I had trouble with my keycard and the manager resolved the problem. While at the dog event, I did tell people there how nice our stay was.
