Residence Inn Mt. Olive at International Trade Center

Nice, decent hotel, affordable and will definitely go there again if I need to sleep in that area. The front desk lady was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was OK-​ish. The room was big, the hallways were clean. The TV needs to be updated though. Internet was fast. The area around the hotel is very safe and there are enough restaurants to eat outside and shopping centers.

My friends and I stayed here during the blizzard of 2016 and it could not have been a better experience. The staff were wonderful and the hotel provided complimentary lunch and dinner due to the awful road conditions and inability to leave the hotel. They also plowed and snowblowed the parking lot so that leaving Sunday morning was effortless.
Being stuck in the hotel room all day didnt even feel like being ‘stuck.’ The fire place and mini kitchen gave it a homey feel and the room was very spacious. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend it!

We love the Marriott Residence Inn! It’s just like staying in your own home! They have beautiful rooms complete with a queen bed, pull out couch, sink, and fridge. We had blocked off many rooms for our wedding at Perona Farms and the staff here was so communicative leading up to our wedding. They provided a complimentary shuttle to and from the wedding venue for our guests who were staying at the wedding.
They were also so wonderful to allow us and many of our wedding guests (i don’t even know how many) to hang out and continue the party in their lobby after our wedding.

I recently went to a wedding at Perona Farms and stayed at the Residence in which is about a 15 minute drive. Super convenient!
Our two night stay was exactly what we needed it to be. Spacious rooms (with a living room and kitchen area too!), a gym, an indoor pool, outdoor basketball court, and a large common area with breakfast. It’s not the fanciest hotel around, but the room and the lobby were really clean and modern looking.
Best part? They let us and the 75+ guests that stayed over take over the lounge for a wedding after party on Friday night. I’m taking coolers full of beer, bottles of liquor, snacks, the whole sha-​bang. It was super cool of them do to that, especially since some hotels get fussy about even the slightest amount of noise.
Comfy beds and an on premise after party? What more could ya want!

Recently, we got married in town and stayed here. The room was very clean and we had control of our room’s temp, which was great since we needed it really cold for our flowers (which we arranged all ourselves). During our stay, room service did come in to replenish our soaps and swap out our towels but they didn’t really clean, but we did have a lot of clothing and things left, making it difficult to distinguish. Everyone there was extremely friendly, and they even put a bottle of wine and rose petals on our bed for our return from our wedding. The only reason I’m taking one star away is because of the lack of a king sized bed. We would have paid extra for that option, but I understand that the rooms are small so a king size bed would make the rooms a little crowded.

We were married at the Inn at Millrace Pond and in order to accommodate guests that could not fit at the Inn, wanted to use Marriott Rewards points, or simply preferred a more modern hotel, we booked a block of rooms at the Residence Inn. Dina and Lisa were extremely accommodating throughout the entire planning process. If a guest was accidently booked outside of the block, they quickly changed the room to be included in our block. Both were very quick to respond to any emails! We were also able to drop welcome bags off the week before the wedding, eliminating another day of/​before tasks and alleviating some stress. The shuttle driver arrived very early and made sure that each guest who was supposed to be on the shuttle was. Although we did not stay at the hotel ourselves, I heard about no issues from our guests, something else I didn’t have to worry about! They had nothing but praise for the hotel and shuttle service!

My wife and I stayed here for two nights just to get away. Upon check in we were greeted with a very friendly woman at the Front Desk who checked us in seamlessly and told us to spin a «prize wheel» as a Marriott Rewards member. The room itself was very clean and affordable. We had a Queen suite with a kitchen and great space. I used the Gym which is open to guests 24 hours and also noticed that they had partnered with a local gym in the event you’d like a more intense workout with more options. My wife enjoyed the indoor pool which was warm and a welcome break in the cold winter air. The property is secluded so you don’t get noise from the Highway. They even granted us a late checkout so we could enjoy it longer. A great Marriott property.

Would have been 1 star but the woman working the front door was really nice. There was a ton of garbage under our sink and dirty dishes in the dishwasher when we checked in. They have a bunch of signs up about their renovations. well they must be doing the room directly above ours because it literally shakes our room. Incredibly loud and the opposite of relaxing. How they actually put us in this room at all is beyond me. Started at 8:30 am yesterday and today. Really pretty awful. Would never come back.

One star off automatically for nominal Internet quality:
Plugged in: 5/0.5 Mbps.
Wifi: 1.5÷0.2 Mbps.
Provided by: AT&T
No clear upgrade options — didn’t get an upgrade window on either my MacBook Pro or iPhone 6.
AT&T wireless has 2 bars in this location, so I wouldn’t count on it very much.
Poor sound insulation between rooms and floors.
Wrong Apple Maps directions take you ¼ mile north in the middle of the woods. Look for Holiday Inn location instead, which is next door.
Having a kitchen is useful, but with paper towels would be better.
Staff is great.
If I were running the place, I would remove speed limits from Ethernet connections, since few people are able to use them anyway. I would also install a new paid wireless network called ResidenceInn_​Speed that would cost $ 10/​day — this would be an alternative to the current torturous experience for those who are used to normal speeds at home/​work.
Hotels need to stop being stingy about the basic necessities of XXI century.
I would also submit a request to fix location on Apple maps — it’s not that difficult.

Five stars Becuase they are pet friendly.
Five stars Because the staff is really nice.
1 star for the gym. Really just treadmills? Not much of a runner.
2 stars for the pool. So many kids. Otherwise 4 stars.
2 stars for hot tub. So many kids. Otherwise 4 stars.
Breakfast 3 stars. Who the hell comes to a hotel for breakfast. Not great, not terrible.
Why are there so many kids? A little annoying. Negative five stars.
Overall, best feature for me is pet friendly rooms, pleasant staff and overall coziness. I would return. I just wish there weren’t so many kids here.

So, traveling with a dog is never easy, but Residence Inn made the trip as easy and as comfortable as possible.
We were greeted by Phillip, who was very friendly and informative. Though there was a bit of a mix up on the room number, Phillip was quick to correct the error and even sent up a small bag of goodies and snacks along with a thoughtful note. Above and beyond in hospitality!
The studio queen suite was perfect! Very open and comfortable with all the style and functionality we craved (full refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, fully stocked dishes and appliances). The WIFI and cable tv was nice, though the internet was a little slow and there was no option of buying any movies, so we didn’t end up watching much tv, not too much to watch.
The pool and whirlpool tub were nice, small, but nice, and we happened to catch the entire pool and tub empty both nights! Major plus! The breakfast was nothing amazing, standard hotel breakfast.
The cleaning staff was friendly and also left me a note after the first day out. Thank you Myriam for doing such an outstanding job and for the note!
Overall, the facilities and the staff were so hospitable and exceeded my expectations that I’d definitely consider making my only choice Residence Inn. The only downfall is the $ 100 non refundable pet fee. A little steep, especially for us to bring our small, well behaved pug, but we chose Residence Inn anyway for its quality, and were not disappointed.
Thank you Phillip for making our stay so wonderful!

Pretty good — though I’m not sure what goes on in the summer here… there were kids EVERYWHERE — which is fine, but the parents apparently thought that the girl at the front desk was their babysitter because she was stuck keeping the peace in the lobby at night.
The rooms are large, cable channels could be improved, but they are clean.
The staff is quite nice. I’ve stayed before and never had the noise issues that I had during my most recent visit… kids running in the halls, yelling in the lobby and making me less than relaxed.
So, a good spot to stay, but I’d call down immediately if the kids start running in the halls during your visit because the noise does travel. Otherwise, a good business hotel.

We stayed for 2 nights. The staff was incredibly nice. We arrived after midnight and the front desk was so cheerful and welcoming. They were very nice to my wife and 2 kids. The room was nice and clean, no problems. In passing, my wife mentioned that it was our anniversary. When I went out of the room on the last morning, there was a large bag FILLED with snacks and bottled water, and a note wishing us a safe trip home (to Baltimore) and a Happy Anniversary card. I have stayed at many hotels before, but this was the nicest staff ever. We didn’t get a fancy suite or anything, just a regular room. We felt like the most important guests even though we were just an ordinary family.
We will always go to this hotel when visiting my family in Hackettstown. Thanks so much to Denise and the entire Residence Inn staff!

Stayed here because of death in the family and the wake was in the area. A large number of family members stayed here as well. We arrived first and the moment we arrived at this hotel, we were given dirty looks from the folks at the desk. The reservation was supposed to have a discount attached to it, which was «an issue». Unsure if that was due to incompentecy of the person behind the desk or the person who took the reservation.
After being given keys to our rooms we went up to find unclean bathroom area with non-​head hairs (ewwww!) around the sink and a bathroom door that did not close. The room was spacious and included a kitchen, kitchen table, sitting area with tv and sofa bed, bedroom with TV and good sized closet, and tiny bathroom (with a door that swung in so that you had to almost climb into the tub to shut the door to be able to take a wee).
Once we got our bags in we left to go to our family member’s home, only to be stopped by the front desk to be made to sign a «no party agreement» which apparently was supposed to cover the entire family (of over 15 people) as no other family member was made to sign anything similar, even though the reservations were not all as group but individually made. The person who had handed us this paper to sign was informed we were here for a funeral… I think this move was rather tactless and tasteless. We were there to grieve, not party.
The rate included a complimentary breakfast that was just awful. Steamed «eggs» (I have serious doubts that they were real), potatoes that were dryer than a 1000-​year-​old mummy, pancakes like hockey pucks and stale bagels makes a run to a diner down the street or coffee shop necessary (or cook your own in the kitchen in your room). The place did have an indoor pool and hot tub and workout room, although we were too busy to get a chance to use them. Supposedly if you are staying there they will do your grocery shopping for you without a fee, which I’d think would be good, even though we didn’t use that.
Another family member stayed across the parking lot at the Wyndham, and I’d suggest it over this hotel if you have to stay in the area.
