Aging building, so a bit old fashioned. Mold needs to be addressed in the bathroom.

I am staying at the Rutherford frequently as I work from home but 4 nights a week my landlords children arrive so my business pays for my accommodation to remotely work. The wifi is great the housekeeping is the best I’ve experienced. I struggle with not having a microwave but the mini bar has healthy options to choose from. I highly recommend this hotel. Alice

Seems like it used to be a nice hotel but has become very dated. Also, I had trouble checking in as the first person helping me couldn’t find my rez even after me showing the confirmation. The second person found it right away. It was a hassle I didn’t want to deal with after 12 hours of driving. I get to my room and the vanity kit is an empty box and the body wash seemed to be half empty. I wasn’t impressed.

Enjoyed front of house staff as pleasant and freat service although seemed under some pressure. Room average clearness and lacking some basic maintenance. Disappointing to see no amenities that are available on the web, but closed cafe and restaurants were why i selected the Rutherford

Nice hotel, very friendly staff, but the hotel itself is looking very dated. It looks like it's straight out of 1975, and in the neglected way, not the cool retro way.
4.0
Functional, friendly staff and very clean but lacked atmosphere. I would stay there again but suggest it needs a refresh decor wise as felt like I’d stepped into the 90s although everything was immaculate
