5/5 Adorable D. 8 months ago on Google
I
was
attending
a
wedding
in
Lakewood,
NJ.
There
are
surprisingly
very
few
hotels
nearby
there
that
aren't
on
the
shore
and
are
major
chains.
I
had
in
the
past
stayed
at
a
Ramada
in
Toms
River,
but
I
learned
that
it
had
been
sold
and
turned
into
an
office
building.
For
some
reason,
Lakewood
has
very
few
hotels.
I
had
stayed
at
one
of
the
only
other
nearby
hotels,
a
Hilton
Garden
Inn,
but
it
is
overpriced.
I
saw
the
Days
Hotel,
and
it
got
good
reviews.
The
bride's
grandmother
told
me
a
friend
had
stayed
there
and
had
given
a
good
report,
so
I
booked
a
reservation.
The
Days
Hotel
Toms
River
was
a
pleasant
surprise.
It
was
the
cleanest
hotel
I've
ever
stayed
in!
No
dirt,
no
signs
of
bugs.
no
stains
in
the
bathtub!
No
cracked
tiles
or
mismatched
wallpaper.
And
I
asked
for
maid
service
after
the
first
night,
and
they
gave
it
to
me,
complete
with
all
fresh
towels,
bedding,
and
amenities,
made
the
bed,
vacuumed,
and
cleaned
the
coffee
area,
even
not
waiting
until
late
in
the
afternoon,
as
some
hotels
do.
And
it
looked
like
the
hotel
had
just
been
redecorated.
Not
1950s
dreary
with
holes
in
the
carpet
and
broken
tiles
in
the
bathroom.
Very
tasteful
with
light,
simple
colors:
just
the
way
I
like
it.
The
hotel
was
very
quiet,
no
rowdy
guests,
and
it
was
set
back
from
the
highway,
so
no
road
noise,
as
well.
And
a
big
parking
lot
in
front
(free)
with
no
driving
around
and
around
for
a
space,
even
after
I
returned
from
the
wedding
late
at
night.
And
it
is
conveniently
located
to
the
main
streets
leading
to
Lakewood,
which
was
important
to
me.
Staff
was
nice,
and
there
were
two
computers
in
the
lobby
with
Internet
+
a
printer
for
guests
to
use.
It's
a
four-story
hotel,
and
I
had
a
room
on
the
top
floor,
which
I
had
requested.
I
had
noticed
before
I
left
that
the
room
rate
(AAA
-
two
double
beds)
since
I
made
the
reservation
had
gone
down.
I
pointed
that
out
when
I
checked
in,
and
the
agent
behind
the
desk
matched
that
rate.
And
there
was
always
someone
behind
the
desk,
regardless
of
time
of
day.
And
they
answered
the
phone!!
There
was
a
restaurant
in
the
hotel
that
I
didn't
use,
but
they
were
very
nice
and
gave
me
plastic
silverware
and
disposable
dishes
so
I
could
eat
in
my
room
the
special-diet
food
I
had
brought.
The
room
also
had
a
large
mini-fridge
(that
functioned
well!)
So
overall
I
would
say
it
was
much
better
even
than
staying
at
the
old
Ramada.
And
better
than
the
Hilton
at
a
much
lower
price.
And
1,000
times
better
than
an
old
Best
Western
I
stayed
in
once,
which
apparently
is
also
kaput.
Only
complaint
was
that
one
of
only
two
elevators
was
out
of
order,
and
it
wasn't
fixed
the
whole
time
I
was
there
(3
days,
2
nights).
But
there
usually
wasn’t
a
wait
for
the
other
elevator.
