Middletown Hotels

We were given free parking to compensate for the fact that our room was not ready upon our arrival. The hotel restaurant was not available during our stay, which was a huge disappointment. The handles on the dresser were broken, the volume button on the iHome was broken, and there was some sort of water damage to the ceiling. There was also a round of housekeeping where some trash was not removed.

The location and the view were great. The pool was also nice. We spent $600 for two nights at this hotel. A beach weekend for our family of four. When we checked in, they said we could park our car for the first night only (which we had to pay $20 for) but we'd have to move our car to street parking by noon the next day because there was a wedding and they wanted to reserve the onsite parking for wedding guests. That seemed crazy to me. The street meters had a 3-hour limit, so we spent our weekend walking back to the street every 3 hours to feed the meter. A good hotel doesn't do this to their guests. The building looks pretty run down from the outside. It's old and there were some broken windows. Our room was fine, but the overall experience wasn't worth the money we spent. I'd look for something else next time.

The hotel is conveniently situated across the street from the beach and boardwalk. We had called and asked to arrange for parking but when we arrived we were told that they were all booked up because of a wedding and we had to park at meters. Our bathrooms were dirty. There was a safe in my friends room but none in mine and when I asked why I was told that it didn't matter anyway because they didn't have the keys for them. My friends bed sheets were stained and she asked for housekeeping to change them and was told that that was normal wear and tear. We wanted to go to the hotels bar located on the first floor but we're told they were closed until August but then they opened the next day. Right now it's 1:22am and I'm sitting here waiting for about an hour now for someone to come because our tv doesn't work. Not worth the hefty price per night. It's definitely a 3 star hotel at best

The bed was comfortable. Was shocked to see how cheap and broken down so much of the hotel is (e.g., the elevator floor is uneven, the walls on our floor had poorly covered holes in the wall, the room did not have a mini fridge, the television was so pixelated it was uncomfortable to watch, etc).

Location was where I needed to be, bar was expensive as was the room. Weddings took up most of the seating. Our "Garden View" room had no elevator service, 3 flights of stairs, smelled like mildew, was extremely small and our "view" consisted of a rusty crane and concrete. We asked for a change of room immediately, and were denied. We were charged 80% for our room when we left that same night (my wife REFUSED to stay in this dungeon), we were compelled to call relatives for lodging on River Road, where we should have gone in the first place. Amy, the Manager said "she would look into it". Will post another review if rectified.

They called and said they had rebooked me at the Hampton Inn across the street, which was one of the hotels I specifically avoided when booking in the first place. The second Hotel behaved as if the first hotel never let them know I was coming. I call shenanigans. won't be back unless the Verrazano collapses.

Got bit by something. Probably a bed bug

The room smelled mildewy.

The rooms smells humid, we checked 3 before deciding on the least smeally one.
