It's a bit pricey but always available and ready to accommodate if you need a place to rest yourself it quiet and clean. They have yet to judge anyone they are here to do business. Give you a place to rest your head. That's it if you want room service and comp meals this isn't it . Basic clean fair
This motel is one of my favorites, nothing fancy but discreet, clean, cable, ac, heat, all you need for a romantic short stay with a beautiful companion.
You get what you pay for. It's not a bad hotel but it ain't five stars either. The lady at the front is sweet.
Decent room, nice management and what i like the most is that there's a microwave and a mini fridge in every room...
The staff here is very professional and courteous the rooms are clean and a nice size perfect place for a short or long stay decent prices
Acceptable for the price. Clean, no issues with staff or other guests. Stayed in a 2 bedroom suite. Standard hotel setup. 1 queen, 1 twin bed. TV, vanity area, bathroom. Everything worked. No weird smells. Quiet area just off of the freeway. Outside of the motel, the street and surrounding area was cluttered with trash. Older vehicles, gave off the impression that we were in a questionable area. Stayed 3 days with no problems. Stayed in Jersey doing a NYC trip on a budget. Happy with stay, would stay again.
When we stayed the first 2 nights we had smoking room but last night we stayed we got non smoking but for wanting to stay nearby airport and nyc highly recommended 2 minute walk to bus stop and then 30 minutes tour at Times Square NYC
I stayed there for two weeks in a non smoking room and it was nicely decorated, my one issue was that the floor wasn't mopped daily but quiet I felt safe wish I could've stayed there until I found permanent housing, I didn't want to run out of money.
This functional budget hotel off Interstate 278 is 3 miles from The Mills at Jersey Gardens, an outlet shopping mall, and 5 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport.
