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
