The Dominick

"The Dominick was the perfect hotel to spend my birthday at. It's close to everything and the staff is phenomenal! From check in to check out, I was well cared for. Mahendra at the front desk even sent a kind happy birthday gesture to my room. The turndown service was also consistently wonderful. I hope to come back!"

"Stayed in a lovely one bedroom suite, quite spacious and with a view to die for in NYC, even if it is to New Jersey! Service was very friendly but did not eat in any of the restaurants. The hotel is walkable to so many restaurants in the area and subways are easily accessible."

"We had a fairly decent stay at The Dominick, though overall a bit lackluster for a 5-star at the price we paid per night. I will say right at the top of this that the staff was fantastic; everyone at the front desk, front door and support staff were lovely. Alex in engineering came to fix our very loud A/C within 30 minutes or so of us mentioning the issue to the front desk, and was incredibly kind and efficient with the repair. Stan at the front door was also super nice and informative about the hotel and nearby spots. Unfortunately that is where the positive ends for the stay, aside from the location and the view, both of which were fantastic. The rooms were a bit below expectation for a 5-star. The bathroom was updated nicely and spacious, but the shower was a bit cramped and the toilet was right next to the shower; the bathroom had no door so lacked a bit of privacy. The A/C in the room was rattling so loudly we had to have the front desk call engineering to fix it, and even then was still quite loud. The bed was oddly too soft, I feel like we usually run into very hard beds; We like a soft bed, but this was a bit excessive. Also, the room darkening shades were not nearly enough so; we were East facing and had a fully bright room by 7AM, which is definitely not ideal for a vacation. There were a few stains on the rug and the room itself wasn't old but not exactly new either. I also read (prior to our trip) that the "value" of the hotel was not great, and I would definitely say I have to agree with that. The food that we had was sub-par, and the restaurants that we did not personally go to had below average reviews. Everything was very expensive for the below average quality, even considering it's a 5-star hotel. The pool was a nice touch, but very small and not deep at all; more of a lounging pool. Also, it was still only late spring and the pool was quite busy and the chairs around it usually full. I can't imagine how busy that would be peak summer. There was also a mandatory Destination Fee per night and valet parking fee (which is fine, but not at that price). Overall I wouldn't say we wouldn't go back, but I would certainly look at other options first."
