I have gotten this hotel through Priceline.com at spectacular rates...but even though we were budget customers you would not know it from the service. We were treated wonderfully. The rooms were great. One time they ended up being overbooked and we had a smaller room than usual on the other end over the bridge so they comped us for dinner. The food was very good as well. The rooms are all well appointed. There is a nice game room with pool and shuffleboard tables and big screen TV. The pool is very nice as is the spa and racquetball courts. They have everything in case you don't...workout wear, sneakers, racquets etc. Although it is a Merrill Lynch conference center made for business travelers I travelled with children/teens and it was just as great for them - in fact, I would rank it as one of my childrens favorite places to stay. On one of our stays at the Harrison (now called the Forrestal) we were there for a week visiting historical sites in Trenton and Philadelphia. We also have been lucky enough to win the bid on Priceline for a few weekend stays when we just wanted to get away. As I'm sure you can tell I would highly recommend this location.

I was surprised to see that their star level had gone down when I checked on some other reviews there since I wanted to see if the new management company affected anything. What I read did not seem possible to have changed that dramatically in the time since our last trip. It was a 5 star then, and the property and rooms were great, the amenities outstanding. I haven't had an opportunity to head down there for any reason lately but would surely hope to get them again when I place a bid.

This sounds like a nice hotel! And if you get a room at excellent rate, no wonder you keep going back :)--Karen
