Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Parsippany Fairfield is about half an hour away from the airport, EWR, and about the same from New York. The hotel is nice and modern with plenty of parking around the hotel. The hotel has a small gym and an outdoor pool as well as a great Mexican restaurant onsite. Next to reception is a small pantry for food and drinks and a small business centre. The rooms are a good size and well maintained. Breakfast is served in the restaurant and gave excellent choices. There are often good rates, so it is an excellent choice for exploring New Jersey and New York with a car.

“Hotel near Highway”

Stayed in this hotel for two nights. As rooms near highway, can hear traffic noises throughout the night.

Stayed in this hotel for two nights. As rooms near highway, can hear traffic noises throughout the night. The rooms were clean in general, similar to other hotels in general, the headboard did not seem cleaned and you can found dust on the tissues. The washroom was bright and clean, and you can hear traffic noises through the air vent. If your room near ice making machine, then you can hear loud noises through the front door. As usual Holiday Inns offer you more equipment, such as iron, safety box, microwave, fridge, coffee machine. They will not offer individual soap or shampoo package, all through Drove brand big bottles. The breakfast is good, variety of choices, like sausage, eggs, pancakes, breads, bagels, oat meals, and variety of drinks. The room lights are limited so are more towards darker side. Not too many cars parked on the stayed dates and travel tour stays help the business. The hotel definitely far from NYC, need around 45 minutes travel time to NYC. Based on the hotels stayed so far, I found Holiday Inn chain generally offer more and have better environment than another 3 stars hotel chain.

“An ok stay with no hot water!”

Stayed here for 5 days whilst visiting the city and some old friends. I would sum our stay up as ok. The room was lovely, nice and spacious. The bed was very comfy and huge! And there was plenty of parking. It had a pool but we didn’t use it. I would have loved to have left more stars, however so… more

Stayed here for 5 days whilst visiting the city and some old friends. I would sum our stay up as ok. The room was lovely, nice and spacious. The bed was very comfy and huge! And there was plenty of parking. It had a pool but we didn’t use it. I would have loved to have left more stars, however some things just let it down. First of all, there were barely any plug sockets. There was an extension lead under the bed, in the middle, with one spare socket which you had to reach for and that was it. We ended up switching the lamps, as the one on the desk you could plug your USB into the lamp, in order to get one socket for our phone. To do this, we pulled the drawers next to the bed slightly out and I have to say, it wasn’t the cleanest, another let down. I don’t know when they last cleaned behind there, but it wasn’t nice. There were lots of dead flies and dust behind it. It’s not difficult to vacuum behind some bedside drawers. Similarly, under the bed, it also looked liked it hadn’t been vacuumed in a while. This is a bit of a random one, but on our first night, the alarm clock randomly went off at midnight and we couldn’t figure out how to get it to stop, so we just unplugged it. Not ideal when you’re jet lagged. Breakfast was ok. Standard American hotel breakfast. Bagels, bread, eggs, bacon, sausage and mini pancakes. Not the warmest and our first day only had plastic cutlery, but was alright I guess. We also had an issue with someone on our floor smoking weed. One night it absolutely stunk and it came through our door. Even when we left the room the next morning, the smell in the hallway was still very strong. Really wasn’t nice. I know the hotel can’t control other guests behaviour, but it was very bad and not nice for other guests. Finally, which was probably the worst, the hot water was off for 3 out of the 5 days we were there with no complete explanation. We entered our room one day, with a letter under our door stating the water was going to be turned off at like 3pm on Monday 13th June. However, the Monday was the 12th. We then received another letter with the correct date Monday the 12th. A bit unprofessional. However, there was no reason as to why this was happening and no idea of how long it would be out for. Turns out it was 3 days!! We weren’t offered any form of compensation. I’m glad it wasn’t our first day, however neither of us like cold showers and weren’t able to shower for those 3 days in the hotel. Wasn’t nice especially as it was hot. We never received anything to tell us the water was back on. We didn’t even get an apology on check out. I get it’s a Holiday Inn and didn’t come with big expectations, but general cleanliness and hot water I think is standard. Or at least some form of communication. If I’m being honest, I probably wouldn’t stay here again.
