Trip Advisor Review for Embassy Suites in Parsippanny NJ:

My sons wedding was nearby and 50+ rooms were occupied by our wedding guests. All had complaints. It was very upsetting that after choosing an Embassy Suits because of the quality of service we have come to expect we were so very disappointed. The hotel itself was quite beautiful and would have been the perfect setting however, we learned very quickly that was as far as it went. Apparently a large group occupies this hotel each weekend for religious purposes. The problem is, they were rude, loud, up & wondering the atrium all night long. Children unsupervised running and playing in the atrium at 3 & 4 in the morning. Knocking & peering in on suite windows. Could not use the pool or gym as it was over run by unsupervised young children. They were taking food from the morning buffet and placing it in bags I assume take home or back to there rooms. But the biggest problem was that management was clearly not willing or able to control this situation. I worked for Marriott for several years and was appalled by how the immature staff and management handled several guest issues involving our party. I will forward a detailed letter to the corporate offices about this experience.

That's disgusting! And if it is every week then it is highly improbable. I feel like this thread has become the "bash-Lakewood" thread.

Oh gosh. At least the religion wasn't named.
look at what the frum ppl (they say it straight out that they are orthodox )write in their reviews on trip advisor for this hotels, they can't understand why the hotel doesn't allow kids to run around the hotel a whole day, start blaming it on anti semitism... Ppl can be so naive sometimes... I'm not trying to bash, just be wary of making a chilul hashem

Kid comes up to me today "Why you driving a goyishe car?"

Only in Lakewood
I'm saying this in a very chiled tone: Honestly, do you think any Rav in the world will tell you that what you wrote is not Lashon Hara. I agree I've seen much worse Lashon Hara.

That is only if no others are included. I assume that out was not your own children who said that.

I take it as a complement. Sheltered children are a gift, they are distanced from the popular culture and are pure.
