Pick A Different Hotel
Although this hotel is new, the poor hotel personnel and lack of attention to room details as well as attention to paying guests is beyond disappointing. We were there for a wedding...blocks of rooms were reserved ahead of time. Yet some of our guests were denied early check-ins to accommodate the time of the wedding. One of the guests was told 'well, you don't HAVE to go to the church'...seriously? The bride and groom were also originally told that their wedding guests could exclusively use the roof top bar. As the wedding date got closer, they wanted payment to 'reserve' space at the roof top bar. Plus some guests were denied access to the roof top bar altogether. The front desk personnel was rude to some of the guests that were calling to secure early check-in, even though they were on a list of allowed early check-in guests. They were told....there is no list. The lobby bar was understaffed and under supplied. Service was slow and the bartender was lacking any personality. They actually ran out of mixing ingredients for drinks as well as certain bottled drinks. The rooms were adequate, but the shower gel was empty and the rain shower head didn't work in the room I occupied. Tissues were also in short supply and no back-up box was in the room.
Great Hotel!!
Stayed here twice. Great customer service. Friendly staff. Got me the room I wanted. And really cares about Marriott elite members. And definitely a plus 1 that delivery people can go up to the room. Keep up the good job. Will definitely be back!!
Fantastic staycation in this excellent new hotel
I've stayed at the Bridgewater Marriott across the street several times and while it's a great property, they are really using Covid as an excuse to not provide ANYTHING for guests. I noticed that the AC had opened recently and decided that I'd give it a try over Thanksgiving and my birthday. I was thrilled that they responded quickly to my questions about what they were offering during Covid, trying their best to offer a 'normal' hotel experience. Luckily I was able to check in when I arrived really early on my birthday. The GM was super friendly and explained the breakfast and bar offerings. While AC hotels are known for their European-style breakfast, featuring yummy Iberico ham among other things, it's not practical to offer that buffet at this time. However, the fact that they ARE providing a cold, grab-and-go breakfast shows that this hotel is, as stated above, trying to make things semi-normal. They had a large variety of individual cereal and oatmeal containers, fruit, yogurt, bagels, granola and coffee and tea. I may be missing something too. I didn't try the coffee from the espresso machine, but I heard that it's great. (Oops, next time!) The hotel is also located about 3 minutes (or less) from a Starbucks and maybe 5-10 minutes from a few diners and other spots for breakfast. I was glad that I could get something to get my day started so that was great. My room was super comfy. AC Hotels are really minimalistic in design but not so much that you think you're in Ikea. The brand has a cool. comfortable vibe and they really want to connect with the local area. I will say though that the vibe isn't so cool that I felt old or out of place. Rather, it was like a hotel version of Cheers-comfy and friendly. The king size bed was awesome and the couch was very comfy as well. The room doesn't really have a closet, rather cubbies to store your clothes. I was only there 2 nights and honestly, I'm used to living out of my suitcase. The bathroom was very nice as well. I LOVED the scent of the toiletries and I scoured the vendor's website but it seems that the type used in this hotel isn't available to buy. Bummer!! There's a small fridge, some bottled water, a HUGE tv and plenty of channels. Noise wise, I didn't really hear any. My room overlooked the highway and what will be a new restaurant that's adjacent to the hotel. (It was Zinburger but I think Covid killed that chain). There really aren't any views per se, as it's a corporate area so I didn't care. As far as bar/food options, there will be a new, rooftop bar/restaurant opening as soon as things get a little more normal, so I'll be looking forward to that. However, don't be alarmed, the lobby bar is open to serve cocktails and they have PLENTY of liquor so you'll find something you like. Try the signature Gin & Tonic! (Though they were maybe out of the Fever Tree tonic when I was there. Hashtag Tonic Snob here! LOL) Interestingly, the hotel features local Sourland Mountain Spirits. That's a craft liquor distillery located maybe 15-20 minutes away. If you need something to do, take a ride down there. It's a family owned business and their gin, vodka, whiskey and rum are all fantastic. I believe that the hotel is also serving tapas-style appetizers, but I neglected to try those. I'm going back to the hotel this week so I'll have a chance to investigate. Overall, I really loved my staycation at the AC Hotel in Bridgewater. I wish them much success but honestly, I am secretly glad that it's a slower time in that area, as I'm able to get away and have some peace and quiet! (Call me selfish). As far as cleanliness, social distancing and Covid mitigation, there's hand sanitizer all over, EVERYONE was properly wearing masks and the place is spotless. There is no daily housekeeping service although you can get additional linen as needed. The housekeepers also wait 48 hours after guests check out before cleaning the rooms. I did wipe everything down (as is my practice these days) but there wasn't a speck of dirt on my Lysol wipes so they're doing it right! I applaud hotels that are NOT cutting corners during the pandemic. I do understand why many are but if some can do it, others can as well, and as part of the Marriott family, I believe that hotels carrying the Marriott name ALL need to step it up. No one expects full service at any hotel these days, but to those who aren't even making coffee and providing at least a grab and go type breakfast, you're just not even trying. I cannot wait to get back to the AC Hotel. The entire team here just GETS IT-that intangible thing that makes self proclaimed hotel snobs like me really happy to be there!
Wonderful stay excellent staff
We stayed here for 1 night while visiting family who live in the area. Check-in was fast and efficient. Kaye at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly.. We were absolutely thrilled that the lounge bar was open and thoroughly enjoyed sitting there and having a few after dinner drinks. Remy was very personable and we enjoyed talking with him. The hotel provides a complimentary continental breakfast and there was a nice selection of items to choose from. The room was spacious and clean. I was ecstatic that the fitness room was open and had enough equipment to get an adequate workout. The hotel has implemented good social distancing/cleaning protocols and we felt extremely safe. We highly recommend this Marriott property.
Great hotel and staff
Spent Sunday night here. Vincent was very helpful. It was delightful to be able to sit at a bar and have a drink. It was socially distanced. The hotel was very clean and sleek. I liked having a mini fridge and safe in the room. Breakfast was cereal, bagels, yoghurts and a really yummy yoghurt parfait with blueberries and granola. I like the espresso/capachino coffee machine. I enjoyed my latte this morning. Will definately go back. So many restaurants in the area.
