Room 29
Pros:

The best feature was the comfortable bed and large bathroom / shower.

Cons:

The loud door slamming was the most annoying. It echoes because of the tile floors etc and for this reason we would probably pick a different place next time.

Perfect location, but the room (room 31) I was in NEEDS renovating
Pros:

I loved the location

Cons:

Every piece of furniture in the room needs to be changed. They're all worn out. The bathroom was horrible. The TV never worked. And we barely got water for showers in the mornings. The water pressure is very low. The place was noisy also.

Bello
Pros:

Hotel spartano,ma pulito e tranquillo,basic,ma sulla passeggiata del lungomare dove fare belle passeggiate, supermercato accanto,altri a poca distanza,facili da raggiungere anche a piedi, molti ristoranti ma la qualità lascia un po' a desiderare,il migliore il Greenfield.Alle 5 di pomeriggio quando partono le navi da crociera chiude tutto anche i ristoranti.Lettini gratuiti in piscina e spiaggia,dove c' è Dwain (spero di aver scritto bene) gentilissimo che da tutte le informazioni.spiaggia fronte hotel bellissima

Cons:

I ristoranti chiudono troppo presto,la colazione sarebbe indispensabile,si fa fatica a trovare qualcosa x colazione.

Déçue
Pros:

La plage juste en face de l'hôtel
La climatisation qu'on peut régler comme on le souhaite
Le frigo dans la chambre avec la partie freezer
Les femmes de ménage étaient gentilles
Il y a plusieurs boutiques de souvenirs dans la rue de l'hôtel

Cons:

Pas de parking gratuit autour, il faut payer 13 dollars par jour pour se garer au parking le plus proche.
Le personnel du bar n'était pas aimable, pas un sourire..il a fallu insister pour avoir une pizza taille moyenne à 22 dollars.
Il a fallu demander plusieurs fois du gel douche et du shampoing.
Impossible de mettre les pieds sur le balcon car il était rempli de crottes de pigeon non nettoyées.
La télécommande ne fonctionnait pas.
Le rideau de douche était sale.
Il y a des escaliers à l'entrée de l'hôtel donc pas du tout pratique pour monter et descendre les valises et personne pour aider.
Pas d'emplacement stable pour garer la voiture le temps de charger ou décharger les valises.
La piscine est vraiment très petite.

Passabel, aber viel zu teuer
Pros:

Nähe zu Strand und Geschäften , Bett war gut und sauber

Cons:

Badezimmer war nass, ebenso Wasserlachen im Bedroom, keine Info über Frühstück oder Essen, keine Hilfe mit dem Koffer, alte Einrichtung, wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick, aber davor war ein riesiges Flachdach, sehr hässlich anzuschauen. Die Zimmer sehr hellhörig.

Room good, but crowded, noisy, caters to the cruise day tripper crowds
Pros:

The room was big, great view and big semi private terrace. Had two luggage racks - great for two people travelling together.

There is a pool and it is right on the beach

Cons:

Issues with the room - the kitchenette had very litte in dishes, cookware etc - despite having a full size fridge, oven and cooktop couldnt really cook - no dishcloths etc.
Bed - mattress very soft and pillows flat and uncomfortable

The real issue however, is that the hotel is trying to cater more to cruise crowd (often 2 - 4 huge cruise ships a day in harbour) and we felt like second rate citizens as paying guests IN the hotel. They sell pool access to people outside the hotel for the day, so the TINY pool gets quickly crowded by cruise passengers. Towels for the pool are additinal cost $3/towel and you pay it everytime you exchange a towel - as guests IN the hotel. Paying guests are treated like the cruise passengers and pay additionally for everything.

The worst part was the noise, Bright lights on all day and music blaring not just from the pool area but from the neighbouring properties, so you are inundated with 2 to 3 competing music, blaring at the same time. Not conducive to relaxing or reading by the pool. We couldn't even really use our balcony as it oerlooked the pool and the music was just as loud.

Also once the cruises leave, everything shuts down and finding a restaurant to eat after 7 pm is VERY challenging - not the hotels fault, but think carefully about staying in Phillipsburg.

If this is your vibe, you'll enjoy this hotel, but personally we would steer well clear of Phillipsburg if we come back.
