Ramada Limited Parsippany

I stayed in my first Ramada hotel this past weekend (Parsipanny, NJ), and it will definitely be my last. When we first arrived, it almost reminded me of a horror movie hotel that was dilapidated and run down. The doors no longer require a key card to get in so security is at an all low, anyone from the street can walk down the halls — with the front desk not even attached to the rooms building so they can’t even monitor who’s coming in and out. Then we got to our room — thankfully not the door next door being held together by tape — and it seemed fine, outdated and worn down but tolerable. We weren’t planning to be there a lot. The rust and mildew on the shower head made my skin crawl, so I stuck to taking baths, as the tub was surprisingly clean. Nice TV and cable options, closet was a little make-​shift but it was there, sheets and pillows seemed newer so it wasn’t a complete deal breaker. What we then noticedwas that our room was on the ground level and it wasn’t a window our to this «yard» who’s only security was a chain link fence, it was a door, which barely closed properly and had a very feeble lock on it. I then found a set of false eyelashes and an old nesquick cap by our bed — and cleanliness was definitely called into question. We asked for a new room, and was told there were no other rooms and given no options to get out — so not wanting to loose the rest of our money we stayed. (I do not believe the place was full due to the ‘vacancy’ sign and the fact that the parking lot had maybe 10 cars in it maximum the whole time we were there, he just didn’t want to move us). We also had the do not disturb sign on our door and complained because people kept walking in — WITHOUT KNOCKING! to do turn down service or whatever. The whole time I was killing spiders and ants and other unknown critters, and was miserable anytime we had to come back. This area has very few options for hotels that A) allow pets and B) won’t charge an arm and a leg due to the proximity to the city. Next time we will give our arm and a leg to not have to deal with this situation and horrible customer service. Very disappointing and definitely left a very VERY bad impression about this company as a whole. Economically priced should not mean basically running a slum village with little to no security — head quarters should investigate this location and SHUT IT DOWN.

Do not stay here!!! It may be cheap on
but these rooms are disgusting and smell like pure cigarettes and who knows what else! The beds are uncomfortable sinks and restrooms falling apart the worst stay ever at a ramada !

Coldest room I have ever stayed in. I wore my winter coat and heavy socks my entire stay and still couldn’t get my nose warm.
Staff was friendly
Affordable, but you get what you pay for. The room was not exactly «hotel» clean and the comforter on the bed was immediately removed. It was discolored and just looked bacteria soaked.
Vending machines did not work.
I would never stay here again. For $ 80 you can stay somewhere nicer. Don’t waste your money

We are not too picky, but… I booked this hotel online because we could bring our dogs. I paid the dog fee upfront– supposedly no more fees. I called ahead and the front desk answered: «What do you want !». I should have known then. We paid close to $ 80 online– staff mentioned the reg room fee was $ 43– another warning as this is way low for the area. We got a non smoking room that reeked of cigarettes. The sliding glass door was broken– did not close completely or open well. A girl in the room next door stood outside and asked if we «Needed anything» I mentioned this confusing statement to my boyfriend-​and he told me that she was asking if we wanted drugs. !!! There are definitely other permanent residents there. The doors at the ends of the corridors are never locked. Our card keys barely worked, my boyfriend is disabled and we could NOT get into the damn room at night when we really needed to immediately. Very Very frustrating. Then the staff told us we would have to pay MORE for the dogs. I DONT THINK SO! I am shocked that Ramada puts its name on this place– I really didnt feel safe.

It’s cheap yes but it’s unsanitary, dirty, smells disgusting and has a staff that just does not care. I couldn’t stay here after booking a room because the room was so dirty and the pungent smell was unbearable. This hotel hasn’t seen any improvements since the 1980s. There are plenty of hotels in the area and I would gladly pay $ 10 or more extra to know I’m sleeping securely and comfortably in another hotel.
This hotel also has it’s fair share of permanent residents aka alternative to homeless shelter. No thanks.
Avoid at all costs.

I’m a pretty low maintenance kind of girl… so for me to complain about a hotel is pretty unheard of. First of all. my fellow guests made me feel very uncomfortable. My first night, a man was roaming the hallway in tighty whiteys and (I know how judgey this sounds) there were several guests who had the distinct «methhead» look. My second night at 2AM there was a test of the fire alarm, my fourth night I find a used bandaid in my sheets (wasn’t mine). I ended up checking out early because the bandaid grossed me out.
I didn’t notice a cigarette smell (several commented on
), but definitely the smell of wet dog.
I’ve stayed in some pretty shady hotels, but this by far was the shadiest. I opted to move to the Red Roof Inn next door which is very close in price but leaps and bounds better (with a fridge, microwave AND safe!)

I’m paying $ 48/​night to stay here. That’s about as low a price as you’re going to find in this area. I’m here for business in New York City, which makes things a little inconvenient because NYC is about a 40 minute drive from here. For some reason, my GPS couldn’t find the hotel’s actual address so I had a difficult time finding it the first time. It’s in the middle of nowhere. This is a no-​frills type of hotel where you basically come to sleep and shower. I made a reservation for five nights, and the hotel staff had me checked in and on my way to my room in less than three minutes. The hallways have a very strong odor. It’s a combination of cigarette smoke and cleaning products. The room itself is reasonably clean. Although, for some reason, my sheets are perpetually damp. Maybe the need to keep the sheets in the dryer a few minutes longer before they go about putting them on beds. The bathroom is reasonably clean. There’s a TV with cable, a desk and chair, and an additional table and chair. The internet here is spotty. There are four lamps in the room and I have all four of them on right now and still don’t have sufficient lighting. I’ve stayed at better hotels, and I’ve stayed at worse. This is on the lower end of the spectrum, but still passable.

You are better off sleeping in the cold streets! Whoever thought of «low-​heat» as heat and that «hi-​heat» means cool air was absurd in this establishment. Because of this my elderly mother got sick. Main doors never lock, so anyone can walk freely into the hotel without a room key. Hallways were warmer at times than the room. Heaters in room were controlled by motion detectors so get ready to dance while you sleep! Parking lot was never plowed after huge snow storm after Xmas, at least salt! They are looking for a lawsuit. Staff was unprofessional and not knowledgeable about this establishment that they supposedly run. If i can choose no stars I would. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here. Good luck!

This location is a Ramada limited.
The front desk guy was very friendly. We booked through
and had no issues. The room was clean. The hotel on the whole looked very clean. I like that if you have a room on the first floor that you have a sliding door exit which is convenient if you have your car right outside in the parking lot. I feel like I don’t remember much about the TV, either they didnt have one or it wasn’t a flat screen. Its inexpenside so, I felt it was worth the price.
