Parking late at night was impossible, there are containers taking up space, we ended up having to park on the grass. The room smelled like someone just cooked in it. It is dated, but the friendliness of the front desk made it worth it!

Pros: -Close to JerseyMikes, Shoprite, ParkingLot. -Pleasant Kendra & Hope, the Front Desk Ladies when I checked in & check out. -Parking Lot. -Microwave, Fridge, Cups, Utensils in Room, -Heater Worked Very Well. -Shades on Window were great. -Lots of Lights, lamps in the room, -nice Large Desk as i was there for business trip. -Carpet was like New, nice! -Nice Large Closet. Cons: -As soon as I got into my room it smelled like they Just Cleaned the room, which is great but it smelled like strong intense "Febreeze", i had to step out to get air and breathe, I am sensitive to Smell (luckily the Window was able to Open, which I did, came back couple of Hours later, it was a bit better). -There were Several Fruit Flys in the Bathroom so I spent a lot of time trying to get rid of them all. -The Bed was a bit too Soft for me but that's just me, as I sleep on a extra firm mattress. -The Room seemed run down, maybe renovation may help. Over All It Was Good For A One Night Stay.

We were passing through New Jersey and stayed here for 3 night. The hotel offers free parking, free Wi-Fi, and spacious rooms with a full kitchen and fridge. There was a slight cooking odor, but overall it was comfortable. The front desk was helpful and even accepted my mailed packages.

The overall impression entering the building and the check in desk was not impressive or comforting. We really were skeptical of our choice. We also were not aware of the open pet policy of this facility. In our room, with door secure and window covered we experienced a restful night without incident or inconvenience.

The parking area was safe but there was not enough parking due to several large containers in the lot. Kitchens while convenient were very outdated with the dish washer having rust along the bottom. One of the rooms we stayed in had black mold which caused a young child to cough and required a room change. Another room we had booked had so much animal dander still present in the room that my sister n law had an allergic reaction that triggered her asthma. The rooms and halls smelled. Shower pressure was really low and the caulking in the bathroom needed to be re-done. The one bright spot was the front desk staff. The ladies who worked the front desk were very apologetic about the conditions of the room. My family and i booked 7 rooms at this hotel based off the rating on Hotels.com and the affordability. We all agreed we would pay triple the price to have better peace of mind.

The hotel is a basic suite hotel. The staff is welcoming and accommodating and quick to address any issue - our thermostat needed a battery. There is a nice fitness room and free laundry, neither of which we used. The room had black out shades which kept out the sun. The bath towels were very fluffy and what one does not normally get with lower priced accommodations.
