Staybridge Hotel

Image
Yesterday, I came back from Staybridge Hotel in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This is a three star hotel, and it had many luxuries, such as free Wi-Fi, breakfast, pool, and “fitness room” (like many 3-star hotels). The Wi-Fi was 4 or 5 “bar,” and the breakfast was delicious.  But unlike most hotels at this “star level,” there was a jacuzzi, and the rooms were large ; There were two “rooms,” separated by double doors. In the spacious room, there was a sofa and large bed (you can get 2 double beds for $20 more), 2 TVs, and a kitchen with a dining table. This is a great hotel for those who love large rooms or jacuzzis. I would rate this hotel 5 stars out of 5.

Cunningham Park

P.S.: The time when we left is shown 2 days ago, I went to Cunningham Park . It is a 358-acre park with a "long enclosed box" , baseball parks, and mountain bike trails. When we got there, there was plenty of parking space. There was also some old men playing in the "long enclosed box" with red and green balls and a scoreboard-which looked like a clock. The baseball parks were spacious and numerous, and there is forest nearby where some foul balls end up. It is perfect to go baseball hunting there. Although I did not see the bike trails, the maps of them online show that there are different levels of difficulties and long trails. Around this area, there is also a Greenway path. Nearby parks are Kissina Park and Alley Pond Park. I would rate this park 4.75 stars out of 5 stars. I recommend this park to baseball, bike, and "walking" lovers.

Kensico Dam

3 days ago, I went to Kensico Dam . When my family and I were driving home from LaQuinta Inn we were greeted by it. Surprisingly, cars were not allowed to go in; it was blocked by "ramps". After walking past some barricades (which were interesting), we got a great view of Kensico Dam Plaza and Kensico Reservoir. Around the middle of the dam, we saw an area marked "water supply land". Unfortunately, the plaza was closed due to renovation. This was a good visit; I would like it better if the plaza wasn't closed. So, I would rate this dam 4 stars out of 5 stars.
