Residence Inn by Marriott Hamilton in Hamilton, NJ

My wife and I took a day trip to Bordentown NJ and booked a two-night midweek stay online in a single Bedroom Suite with a King bed, a Sofa bed and a kitchenette at the Residence Inn in Hamilton. This was our first visit to this Residence Inn. In the past we usually stayed at Homewood Suites when choosing hotels with comparable accommodation but chose this location for its proximity to the Hamilton Marketplace. Upon entering the hotel, we were impressed by the front desk section of the hotel. Everything looked clean and new. There was a faux fireplace. A business center with computers and printers, and several individual TVs with private nooks for viewing. There was also an outdoor patio area that is visible from the front desk area with a fire pit and chairs. The hotel has an indoor pool and basketball court on the property. (We did not get to use the outdoor patio, fitness center, basketball court or pool during our visit.) There was a lemon water dispenser next to the front desk. The front desk clerk was friendly and welcoming and was able to answer all questions throughout our visit. The housekeeping staff were also courteous and helpful. We received a friendly “Good Morning” from the housekeepers on our way to breakfast. As we passed them each morning, they would always check that we had everything we needed for our stay. We had a very comfortable stay at the Residence Inn. We liked our room. Our king-size bed was comfortable to sleep in both nights. There were TVs in the bedroom and living room for relaxing. There was glassware, plates, and silverware in the kitchenette for 4 people. It was convenient having a full refrigerator to store perishable items during our stay. The only complaint about the room was the shower in the bathroom. Which had many knobs and multiple showerheads, so it was difficult to figure out how to get water started on the upper showerhead and adjust it for hot water. The room came with a coffee maker which we used each morning to make coffee when we got up, prior to our full breakfast. Residence Inn provides a free buffet breakfast each morning between 6AM and 9AM midweek. Breakfast had a decent selection, but it was basic. Just oatmeal, cereal, scrambled and hard-boiled eggs, turkey patties, apples, bananas, bagels, yogurt, English muffins and sliced breads. (The first morning they did serve cheese in the scrambled eggs which was a nice addition.) There was a toaster for the English muffins and bread. However, I was disappointed that they did not offer a make-your-own waffle or pancake station. More options for fruit (like sliced melon, grapes or fruit salad) would have also been a nice addition. I feel that breakfast ends too early at 9 AM. Checkout at the hotel is 11 AM, I would have thought breakfast should have ended at 10 AM or 10:30 AM so guests could sleep in a bit.

We rushed up there as a party of 15 from Florida as my grandmother was given days to live. Joe and Charley and the rest of the amazing staff went above and beyond. It was like coming home every night to family. Always a warm smile and the sincere greetings. Patina, Trevor, Charlene, JM, and Mckayla always made sure myself and family were doing okay. The housekeeping staff was amazing some nights were long and coming back to a clean room with fresh towels was just what we needed. The 2 people that ran the kitchen (can’t remember their names) always made sure breakfast was up and going every morning . Craig I like to refer to as man of many wonders. He can fix anything and always with a friendly smile. I can see why they have long term residence there and not just nightly guest. It’s a home, it’s a family from the moment I checked to the moment I checked out which was 12 nights later. My family and I felt like we were staying at a family members house and not hotel. A million thanks from my family to the staff at the Hamilton Residence Inn. Making the most difficult time as comforting as they can.

My husband and I stay there every year to visit our daughter. The rooms are always very clean and modern. The hotel staff is always friendly and helpful. Every time we go the GM Maher Kobeissi remembers us. He also helped us get our full 10 day stay at the hotel. We were originally booked only a few so we had to get multiple reservations at other Marriott properties. When we checked in he found some at our favorite hotel Residence. Which was great cause now we did not have to move around !

I stayed here to visit family and friends in NY and New Jersey, and to sightsee in Philly. The Hamilton location was ideal. I booked a one bedroom for 8 nights. I arrived early, at 10am. I asked if I could check-in early. I was told by JM that there was no 1-bedrooms available, but there was a 2 bedroom. I asked if there was any way I could get the 2 bedroom at the 1 bedroom rate, guessing not but thought it couldn’t hurt to ask. To my surprise JM said yes, he could do that. Wow! The 2-bedroom was nice, clean and oh so roomy! It was nice to have a kitchen to cook breakfast in before taking off for the day. At check-out time there was also no problem with staying late. I stayed until 2pm, with no extra charge. This place is great! Thank you, JM, you’re the best!!!

This hotel is fantastic. The hotel employees go above and beyond to make certain you’re comfortable and have a pleasant stay. My check-in was extremely fast and the front desk clerks and all of the employees were always very pleasant. Each morning saying good morning to everyone and saying hello when anyone walked in or around the hotel. The breakfast was great and the breakfast area was always clean. This is an extremely clean hotel. It is great to have the option to cook your dinner because the room came with the stove top and a full refrigerator. The hotel has an inside lounge and outdoor patio which are both very nice and comfortable. You can sit and enjoy your meal or just relax and watch television. I was allowed to check in at 9 AM. Most hotels do not allow check-in until 4 PM. This is a major perk that I really really love. The rooms are definitely soundproof because I didn’t hear any noise outside of my room, very thick walls. My opinion, congratulations on being the best hotel in Mercer County.
