Doubletree by Hilton Monroe Township Cranbury
3.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (402)
"Room was updated and clean, beds were comfy. Did not like that breakfast was included for a fee since i booked the room on a third-party site and apparently my cost did not include breakfast. It also has very limited eating out options, I was looking for somewhere to eat after 8 pm and I had to get on the turnpike in order to get to a service station (like a road stop) to get so-so takeout.
