Stayed one night for wedding in nearby Oxford, NJ. Before arrival, we called to request an early check-in as the wedding was on Friday evening and we would be driving some distance. The person we talked to could not guarantee an early check-in as it depended on the availability of rooms at the time. This was fine, but the information about check-in times we we're given was apparently incorrect. Regarless, we arrived early and our room was ready. Despite, driving past the entrance the first time, we arrived and check-in was a breeze. The lobby was clean and the front desk staff was polite. Bonus, they had a Starbucks vending machine in the lobby next to a small convenience store. The hallways were clean, well lit, and easy to navigate. Our room was spacious, with a king-size bed, sizeable closet, and comfortable bathroom with a large vanity. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room. Nothing seemed worn-out or in need of any repair. The bed and pillows were probably the most comfortable ones I have ever experienced at a hotel which made getting a good night of sleep easy. Following the wedding we went to the lounge for a few drinks. The atmosphere was...interesting. It was decorated as if it were trying a little too hard to be modern. But, the drinks were a reasonable price and we enjoyed ourselves. The following morning there had apparently been a major issue with one room getting flooded and the staff was doing thier best to clean it up and keep the guest from being inconvenienced. Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet was the most disappointing part. The food was terrible. Everything looked good but tasted just awful. Thankfully breakfast was provided free of charge as we were part of a wedding block of reservations. However, we found it strange how much the wait staff at the breakfast buffet was concerned wether or not we were guests at the hotel. They kept asking us for our room information even though we gave them the voucher that the front desk had given us.
