A Pure Hell Hole...
By OctaviaS, 08/17/09
This place is pure trash!!! I dont understand how people could stay there. The pictures on the site are very deceiving. The lights in room were broke, ring stains in the jacuzzi and shower. Feces prolly been in the toilet for so long that the toilet bowl was erroiding. My friend and I was there for 5 mins and checked right out! I'm sure if you stay long enough you will catch an STD and be bitten up by all types of bugs. It looks like a trailer park! Poeple dont do it to yourself!!!! For now on Holiday Inn Express all the way!!!!

I can not begin to tell you..........
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/26/09
I can not begin to tell you what an awful place this is. The hotel itself is filthy, and there is no security. The doors to the buildings are all propped open or can be easily opened without a card. The building smells like cigarettes and who knows what else, it doesn't even matter if your room is smoking or non-smoking, the rooms all reek. The hotel is obviously never cleaned. There were cigarette butts and trash in the hallway, and people just threw their garbage out the window. The hotel is a hangout for creeps, who will wake you up at 2 a.m. with their partying, thanks to the paper-thin walls. The service is good though (they shut up the partiers) and the sheets and towels were clean. But overall, do NOT stay here. I was sorely tempted to sleep in my car, but would be to creeped out by all the random creeps who seemed to be coming and going.

My Standard Place to Stay in Newark
By Paul, 11/05/08
Make sure you don't stay too closse to the road or the noise may bother you. Back parts of the hotel are quiet and comfortable. Staff is very attentive. I have stayed about six times over the past year. It is by far the best value in Newark. Definitely recommend.

Will stay again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/11/08
My husband and I stayed here in March 2008. They are remodeling and the room we had was completely redone. New carpet, new paint, etc. You can't beat their breakfast bar! We will stay again in May. It is right off I95 which is very nice.

I would never stay there again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/17/07
i spent 2 nights in this motel is september 07 the room was dingy,the carpet was old, the bedding smelled and the blanket was hard and matted with matte falling off in your hair and on the sheets. the outlets on one side of the room didn't, work the microwave was changed twice because they didn't work. the bathroom sink fixture moved back and forth when you turned the water on and off, and the toilet water would run constantly until you pulled the handle up. Also you could not open the curtains to get daylight if your room was on the first floor because the driveway and entrance is directly in front of your window and people could look right into your room.

Pleasantly surprised
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/07
This place is a very well kept secret. We were pleasantly surprised at the very clean rooms and professional staff. We only stayed for one night, but it would have been just great if we had stayed over more nights. Definitely recommend this one.
 
 
 
 
 
Not Bad
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/08/07
This was your average cheap hotel room. Not the cleanest but not the worst. The bed was large and overall it wasn't bad. It's not walking distance from the University because the road is not safe to walk along.

Not As Advertised!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/09/06
Our soccer team booked this hotel for a tournament. The web site is absolutely NOTHING like the hotel itself. Perhaps it has been remodeled (I would have hated to see it before remodeling!), but the rooms were musty smelling, dingy, and just plain old. The bathrooms are ancient. One of our players even found bugs in her bed both nights we stayed there! The Management made several promises to our team manager but didn't follow through. The only positive aspects of the hotel were the breakfast, which was very nice, and the cleaning staff, who were the friendliest members of the entire staff. Still, I would NEVER stay there again.

I'd rather sleep in my car.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/08/06
I have a billing dispute with this hotel and they are refusing to correct it. It has been in dispute for several months. Drive to another hotel.
