What are the odds coming up from Florida to visit family that we would be seeking refuge from Hurricane Sandy? We were forced to stay at the Carteret Holiday Inn since our family we were visiting had no power nor did the rest of all the surrounding towns due to the storm. Holiday Inn had power since they were smart... More

I've never stayd @ this hotel but I pass it all the time, the only advice I can give is your GPS depending on the age of it may give you round about directions. This isn't because of your GPS, that road recently under went a major Constrution & is completly different than b4. Directions: coming from the NJ turnpike,... More

The 3rd shift (2a.m.) desk staff was very friendly and accomodating. The building is dated, but upgraded. The room was clean with modern bedding. Although, upon entering the room....there was a smell that hinted there may be a sewer back up somewhere. It was WAY too late with a planned early morning to make a room change request. As friendly... More

The "very good" rating is for the room ONLY if it were in a vacuum since this hotel is in the most depressing area ever. This is not the fault of the hotel of course, can't help where it's built. It's convenient to EWR airport but not super close. It's important to note that it DOESN'T HAVE AN ELEVATOR, which... More

We arrived on August 03 after the GPS directed us to another Holiday Inn closer to the airport. That was our first experience with Holiday Inn and it was not a positive one. The clerk there didn't know where the Carteret location was and when my partner asked if he would call to get directions, he was told no he... More

I couldn't believe the professionalism of Kathy at this hotel.! We had been driving for over 15 hours and made the mistake of not booking a hotel ahead. We took the chance on this holiday Inn and after several mins of looking and showing us a room that we didn't want, Kathy finally was able to meet our needs. I... More

Coffee is served from 3AM to 8am. The hotel caters to Amtrak employee's. As for the rest of the guest staying there......THEY DON'T EXIST! Try getting a cup of coffee at 9am. Not even the restaurant has coffee made! The hotel puts out coffee, cream and donuts for the Amtrak employee's. Everything is gone by 6am when the Amtrak employee's... More

The only thing good about this place is it's employees. The front desk attendants and the restaurant employees were all very nice. Beside that, the carpet is gross. Gross to the point of not wanting to walk around the room barefoot. The halls are old and stinky. They didn't put me in the kind of room I reserved. The food... More
