Hotels Near 7-Eleven in Trenton

I stay at Marriott properties almost exclusively. Generally the service is very good, rooms are clean and it’s a decent value. None of the above describes our experience at Springhill Suites. We had a five night stay. Virtually from check in to check out there were issues. At check in, we weren’t even welcomed as Gold Elite members. The check in person had a script that she stuck to so if this were the first time or the 300th time, she didn’t veer from the script. I asked her if we could have bottles of water (they are supposed to ask if you want 250 points or water). She advised that for our five night stay, we would have housekeeping only on Thursday and Saturday. (Our check in was on a Tuesday). Upon entering the room it was moderately clean but the carpeting is stained, wallpaper in the bathroom is peeling and the toilet “whooshes” every few minutes (probably needs a new flapper or something like that). The closet has shelves (no dresser which is a bit of an issue when you are staying for 5 nights) but the shelves were filthy, dusty and sticky as if someone spilled something but no one cleaned it up. They have a notice in the bathroom to conserve water and reuse towels. Nice thought but there’s nowhere to actually hang a slightly used towel. There’s one robe hook in the bathroom that could potentially be used for a towel but since the counter is small, and there were two of us, I used the hook to hang my cosmetic bag. So towels piled up on the floor. We made our own bed on day one since we knew there’s no housekeeping. No big deal. But on day two (Thursday) when we were scheduled to have housekeeping I asked if they could come before 10 am or after 11 am because my husband had an important call from 10-11 so I didn’t want him disturbed. So when did housekeeping knock - at 10 am of course. I was able to ask the housekeeper to come back but she obviously wasn’t advised by the front desk of our request. She did come back later in the day and did a modest cleaning. At least the towels were no longer on the floor. We made our bed on Friday. Again, no big deal. On Saturday we were scheduled for housekeeping. We left the hotel at 8 am and didn’t return until 2 pm. I was shocked to see that the room was still not cleaned. I went to the front desk, told them I was going to their gym and then planned to shower so could housekeeping come at 4:30, when we would be leaving again. She said no problem. So just as I was about to shower there was a knock at the door. It was at 3:30. When I asked them to come back at 4:30, not only was I told no (she stated that they leave at 4:30) but she had no intention of doing anything other than give clean towels and pull the covers up -no intention of providing clean sheets. At this point we had been at the hotel for four nights. When we went to the front desk to complain, they completely disregarded our concerns, didn’t even know that we had already been there for 4 nights at that point, and basically weren

Really enjoyed this location. Booked last minute and the rate was fair. Our two rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. Your standard home2 suites location. Employees were nice and friendly and there's a lot of stores and places to eat nearby. On the weekends they are a stop for the free trolley into bordentown city where you'll find small shops and cute restaurants. Would recommend if you're in town and need a place to stay!

Poor first impressions. We showed up for a one night stay. First off the main door is broken and everyone has to squeeze thru. With luggage it’s a chore We arrive at the checkin desk to find an associate sitting behind on her phone. She greets us and we indicate we are here to check in. She tells us she’s the only one here and she’s on her break. She will be with us in (checks watch) 10 minutes We literally sat there watching her stare at her phone for 10 minutes. At which point she jumps up and is like “ok I can help you now” I get that people are entitled to breaks. But how do you have ONE person manning the front desk area? I don’t fully blame her but it literally took her 72 seconds to check us in…. It’s a shame cause the location is convenient. Rooms are dated tho. From the outside it looks new and modern. Inside not so much.

Our room was number 324 facing the parking lot. The lobby is outdated, the room smells bad, and the air-conditioning keeps blowing cold air on the person that is seating next to the table to work, Old air-conditioning, bugs in the bathroom.

We only had the experience with one room type, a large room with a balcony on the second floor. I know they have smaller rooms that might have been remodeled. But having said that this room we got was dirty (dead flies, spots on the carpet all over, coffee stains on a bathroom wallet ). The heating system is a built in electric heater, quite old and fairly noisy. You can see the room was not properly updated for a while, maybe never. The bed sheets, blanket, pillows all quite sub par. We only stayed one night so did not push for a room change because of that. But I recommend you look at the room before moving in if this is possible. While the bones of this property are amazing, it needs updating.

As a frequent traveler north to south and back on I95, it continues to amaze and disappoint how indifferent evening check in staff at Hilton and other chain hotels has and continues to be. Seriously, does Hilton not provide any training at all? A simple Hello and welcome to Hilton would be a significant upgrade. Shocking. The room was clean and fine except for the bathroom. Upgrades were minimal and the shower not inviting at all. The remnants of the old wall paper on the walls was interesting. Hilton couldn't literally remove all of the old wallpaper. The price of the room was higher than any other area hotel and it was not reflective of the quality of the room or the experience. Back to Country Inn and Suites for much less and comparable stay

This has been our go-to in the Princeton area for a few years. Location can’t be beat. Breakfast is excellent and Dolores is the best at making you feel welcome during breakfast and keeping things tidy, clean, and seeing to guests concerns at breakfast - she really is the reason we’ve come back - unfortunately since Covid, the hotel has been slipping and I’m honestly sad as these issues just need attention from management. Our last 2 stays, it is clear that rooms are not being properly cleaned - I suspect that housekeeping staff has been reduced and is overwhelmed. Our room kitchenette floor was so sticky, each time we walked our across our feet would stick. The dishes/silverware dirty and strewn in drawer. The kitchen sink garbage disposal was missing the flaps and we could see gross decaying food. The tub drain had apparently been cleared but they never put back the cap and just left it on the edge of the tub. The pillows had such a foul odor (think like boys locker room after football practice - that used entire bottle amount of Febreeze to make bearable). A quick walkthrough of rooms by supervisor would ensure a much more pleasant environment for a guest on arrival—Housekeeping may be understaffed. Sadly we are not going back; for our next stay we will be booking elsewhere. Luckily there are plentiful options in the Princeton area.

I've stayed in Courtyard hotels across the country and they are generally a fairly solid choice. This one was OK, but I've definitely seen better. The lobby seemed updated, but the guest rooms were a little past their prime. The bed was not particularly comfortable and the shower seemed to be falling out of the wall. One strength of this hotel was the staff - very friendly and service oriented. Anyone who has read my hotel reviews know that hotel gyms are a big deal to me. this one was substandard on many levels. While they had decent cardio equipment, it was clear that it has not been well maintained. Their were no mats for floor work, and the floor surface was not comfortable for that type of activity. The towels were not well stocked on either day I used the gym. The dumbbell selection was weird - there were a couple that were below 10 pounds, which were too gross to touch. From there, it skipped up to 25s and 40s and that's it. This is an area I travel to fairly frequently, so I think I'll be continuing my search for the best spot to stay.

I typically stay at Holiday Inn Express when I travel. This was another good hotel. Breakfast was fine. Bed was tolerable although all of the pillows were soft. My only grip is that the advertisement was misleading. I recognized that the hotel was connected to the Crown Plaza and Convention Center. However, the advertising made it seem that the exercise room and pool were actually in the Holiday Inn Express not the Crown Plaza.
