I stayed at the Rutgers University Inn and Conference Center in New Brunswick, NJ, and had a pleasant experience. The location is convenient, offering good walkway paths and being not too far from the city center if you want to take an Uber. I particularly enjoyed the ability to walk around the area. The hotel also provides access to the university's gym, which was a nice perk for staying active. The hotel itself is modest, with good internet access and proximity to the train station, making it a convenient choice for travelers. The staff were exceptionally friendly and hospitable, adding a welcoming touch to the stay. Although I arrived after 1 a.m., the check-in process was straightforward. Initially, access was a bit tricky, but the instructions using the Red Phone solved the issue efficiently. One minor inconvenience was that the elevator was out of service when I arrived. However, the reception staff graciously offered to help with my luggage, which I appreciated but didn't need. Overall, the warm service of the staff made the experience enjoyable, and I look forward to returning. Thank you for the hospitality!

The gym timings were a bit of an issue though!

We went to stay overnight to attend a conference at Rutgers. The room available was with a queen bed. Due to a medical condition, I made a request for certain things for my accommodation and they were granted. The attendant was very courteous, the room was very clean and the location was ideal as it is so closed to the Eaton Center where conference was held. I'll recommend the hotel to my colleagues traveling to New Brunswick. Thank you for the service.

The location is absolutely beautiful, I even saw a family of deer one evening! The room was ok, but pretty basic. It made sense, as it used to be university halls.

No breakfast! There are no easy options for breakfast nearby, so it would be very worthy to provide a breakfast option at the Inn! The heater/air con was automatic, and it was an unuasually few hot days, so it was it was set to heat up when it was actually very hot already!

The bed and bedding were very comfortable, the view the room was a mowed field, brush and a tree line. Lovely and quiet. I lived in East Brunswick for decades and would not stay at any East Brunswick facilities. The New Brunswick hotels are all fancier larger properties. The Rutgers Inn was “ just right “. At checkin I was asked to initial a three night stay. I explained to the gentleman, my dog was having emergency surgery that day, and depending on recovery, I might need to leave a day early if he was discharged. He said “ no problem,” but at check out I was charged for the unused night. I have addressed this with the property directly, and hope for a favorable reply. All the staff were helpful and pleasant. I look forward to using it again. I was married at Kirkpatrick Chapel. and my husband was a graduate of Cook College. Many happy memories!

We were there to help move our daughter into her dorm at Rutgers University. The room that we were given was excellent for view, space and cleanliness. The staff was excellent. They provided us with extra towels and pillows even though the facility was full we had no problem with service. One thing that we truly liked was that they cleaned the room every day and we never had to call because they forgot to do or leave something. That is a great staff. Their front desk staff is EXCELLENT! Always very pleasant and helpful.

We Really have no complaint, and they are doing everything right because all the staff we encountered were excellent. Their management have to represent what the employees are like. Kudos to them.

Pleasant, clean and nice place to stay. Good location for nearby Rutgers activities. As an alumni, The Rutgers decor was enjoyable.

The lack of decent coffee nearby. There was a coffee maker in the room, and a Keurig with “for purchase” pods in the lobby, but it would have been nice to have better options within walking distance.

The place has its years, but it is still comfortable. Rooms are of a good size. Ours had 2 double beds, with good mattresses, pillows and linen. There is a minifridge, microwave and coffee machine. The hotel is in a quiet, secluded area, next to one of Rutgers's campuses, but only a 5 min. drive to downtown New Brunswick.

A/C unit was a bit loud, you may have to give it a few gentle knocks so it doesn't vibrate.

This was a great place to stop on our trip from New England to the Maryland shore. We enjoyed the proximity to so many good eateries downtown. The room was comfortable, and the pastoral view out the window was one of the best we've had.

The bathroom was tight, without much horizontal space to set down toiletries. It's a pretty minor disadvantage in an otherwise very good accommodation.

Location. Value-for-money. Good supportive staff (and student workers)

Inability to resolve issues with duplicate booking. Not acknowledging emails sent earlier that clearly indicated that the bookings were duplicated and one should be canceled. Booking.com being the bigger culprit. A small cafe/breakfast option would have been perfect.

The room I had here was honestly cleaner than most hotel rooms I've had in the past couple years. Everything's laid out nicely and though the room was a bit warm when we entered, it was very easy to get to the temperature we liked. Check in was a breeze and there was ample space for our luggage in the room. Plenty of outlets in the room as well and having extra linens available in the room was very helpful. We ended up returning to our room late in the night and I was dreading finding a parking spot, but even the further parking is still pretty close! They also offer luggage carts, which I saw other guests use when checking in. Our room was on the first floor but their elevators appeared functional. Beds are firm but still very comfortable, I didn't have much trouble getting to sleep at all.

Be warned, the toilets (or at least ours did) flush super loud and hard. On the bright side, this means you'd probably have a hard time clogging it!
