Wingate By Wyndham

Clean and safe. This place smells bad, but hey… that’s not the end of the world.
This is a fine place to stay as long as you know that you are not going to get the amenities of a nicer hotel.
The breakfast is not good, but is it ever at a place like this? You aren’t staying her for the free food, so stick to the yogurt and fruit and bread. Avoid those eggs and meat.
I wouldn’t depend on the fitness room. It is just a few pieces of exercise equipment and there was a family with little kids running around in there, while their mom walked on the treadmill in jeans. Great.
Also, this may be away from the hotels control but the same family was hanging out in the lobby yelling until very late at night with their young screaming toddlers. They were in the lobby, which is open and my room was right above it. I wish they would have told them to keep it down after 11, because some of us have to work in the morning. So while this isn’t 100% the hotels fault, be aware this place is not quiet, you can hear all lobby noise.

An upscale dump directly behind a Knights Inn. Not a bad area but not a great hotel. It’s a slight step up from an Econo Lodge. Definitely not as advertised. The people here that gave this place 5 stars have not traveled enough or as one guy stated worked for the hotel chain.
Earlier this afternoon a group of workers were grilling out and drinking beers in the parking lot, upscale huh?

I was duped in to booking this hotel via hotwire under the guise that it was 3 star hotel. After using hotwire for 4 years this is the last straw but that’s a different review.
From the musty underarm smell in the ladies room to the dirty carpets — I would strongly recommend bypassing this hotel & staying else where. The front desk person tried to be accommodating by having our room deodorized and fixing the poorly made bed but it’s the equivalent of putting lipstick on pig.
PS – I strongly believe the few 5 star Unilocal reviews are family members of the owner.

I had a pretty good stay here. The pros: clean, comfortable beds, good location, great fitness center, friendly employees. The cons: paper thin walls, the complimentary breakfast was very disappointing (is that bacon or shoe leather?) and I had to unplug the refrigerator in the room because it kept making heavy breathing sounds like Darth Vader.

I’ve never stayed in a hotel where you couldn’t control the temperature. Now I have. I don’t know about you, but 74 degrees is too hot inside even if it’s cold out. The elevators were broken, the breakfast was inedible («omelet» and greasy sausage — terrible), no cream or lid for the in-​room coffee, and the staff at the desk were not very helpful or friendly. The room was clean, however, and it’s in a good location.

Very clean. Very comfortable.lots of sunlight. complimentary breakfast with proper time. Wi-​Fi that works good. clean sheets, clean bathroom.

Long story short we were forced to stay in the area because we got stuck in traffic coming back from the Shore and couldn’t get to the Petsmart before it closed to pick up my dog. It made more sense to stay here than drive back to North Jersey and then come back.
Anyways…We got a good rate just by calling and the front desk guy when we got there was extremely friendly. That’s where the good part of this review ends.
They have a hot tub, one of the reasons we chose the place. Well we settled in after going out to dinner put on our suits and excitedly headed to the tub. Well we were in for about 5 minutes before our eyes and throats were burning (NO JOKE), we got out asap. There was WAAAAAY too much chlorine it was like being gassed. I had to wash my eyes out in the water fountain outside. Toxic and dangerous.
After we scrubbed the chlorine off us, around 9:30pm the door swings open, apparently other guests. UM, get out! They left. 3 minutes later the phone rings from the front desk. The guy asks what room I’m in and if this was the room I was given… WTF? No I’m a hotel squatter. No apology nothing just hangs up. about 5 minutes later he calls back, asking are you SURE this is your room, did you switch rooms? Yeah pal, I got up from the room I was given, hacked the electronic key card and took another room. I’m a crafty one. C’mon man. No apology nothing just hung up again.
So finally we were able to go to sleep. The next morning I went to their complimentary breakfast which is waffles, continental stuff and microwaved potatoes, eggs and ham. I didn’t expect anything better so no shock there. Well on my way back to my room carrying food for myself and my girlfriend my key didn’t work. Apparently they disabled my key after the debacle the night before and failed to tell us.duh.
We went to check out, their computers were down, no receipt but the lady at the desk offered to email it to me which she did.
Not the best hotel experience. Clean rooms, one friendly front desk guy, one stupid one, toxic hot tub, meh breakfast. Better than the Sketchy Knight’s Inn which is in front of it.

Beautiful room, very clean, and well taken care of, it is so cool to walk into one of the cleanest room, I have ever been in NJ. When you walk in the lobby smells great. The breakfast is hot and delicious. The spa whirlpool is so relaxing all you want to do after is come to your room to your comfy bed. I slept so well that it made my 2 day stay seem like 4. All of this could not be possible if it wasn’t for the wonderful staff that take pride in their job. I will definitely be back with my family to enjoy another stay.

Very nice hotel, close to the highway, and food, and movie theater. Staff very nice and the rooms are clean and spacious, all for a very affordable price. I do recommend.

Generic, clean, green and cream colored hotel on the outside. Inside lobby is missing something, clerks desk seems devoid of style, maybe needs more dark wood or a giant Wingate sign? That is, instead of just a big cream colored wall? Aside from that, the hotel advertises an indoor pool– it’s not! It’s a just a hot tub. So when my son and I went to go take a dip, low and behold our surprise to find a couple stairing at us at the door (we went back upstairs). The gym is 1 treadmill, 1 cycle and something else. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean. Granite is everywhere. No complaints there. My main issue with the room is the bathroom fan/​vent. This thing is louder than a jet engine. I found myself avoiding turning on the bathroom light, because this would automatically trigger the deafning sounds of the overhead chopper. They really need to fix this, or get an optional switch for light OR fan. Another main complaint is that there isn’t always a manager there. They have 1 manager who floats between different hotels. That would normally be ok, but the front desk clerks barely have access to anything. They are very, very nice, but just not front desk material. They can’t do much for you without calling the manager at home or another hotel and then telling you he’ll be in the next day to help sort out the most basic of issues. If the manager isn’t going to be present then at the very least the clerks need computer training and access codes. The free breakfast wasn’t bad but there is no attendant there monitoring it, so when the 8 instant omelettes run out (and they will), you’d have to wait and hope someone will come by to refill before the 9am close time. Someone does randomly pop in every now and then to check on the breakfast bar. I don’t know if this is normally the case, but when I cracked one of the «hard boiled eggs» it splashed onto my plate having been only halfway boiled-​yuck. Coffee is Folgers, brewed yes, good no! I emphasize NO GO on the coffee. I forced a half cup down every morning to hold me off till I get to a real coffee place. On the positive, it’s very clean, cheap, nice staff, free breakfast and parking, not too far from Philly, modern, and has free wifi. Would I stay here again, sure why not? If I could would give it 3 ½ but no halves allowed here. I’d recommend it, you won’t regret it.

This is a new hotel, with EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Very nice rooms, a nice area for a free hot breakfast, nice jacuzzi & pool. Rooms are fresh, and roomy. The location of this hotel is near shopping, restaurants, theaters and major transportation. A great deal for the price!
