Swan in news...AGAIN!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/11/09
Two men shot by off-duty Newark cop in Linden charged with attempted robbery By Mike Rispoli May 21, 2009, 7:36PM LINDEN -- The shooting of two men by an off-duty Newark police officer Monday at a Linden motel was the result of a robbery gone awry, authorities confirmed today. This place is a dangerous crap hole!
 
 
 
 
 
One of the worst motels I have stayed at.
By Bertha, 06/30/09
I was stuck in Newark overnight whem my flight was cancelled. This motel was horrible, dirty, filthy... I can't say enough bad things about it. I wouldn't even sit on the tiolet and I slept fully clothed because I didn't want to lie on the bed sheets. Do not stay there if you can avoid it.

Clean Great Value
By james, 05/12/09
The hotel was clean, the staff very attentive. The bad reviews should not scare you away. They appear to be written by the same person; who has some sort of agenda. I am looking foward to my next stay.
 
 
 
 
 
There ain't much worse than this!
By Tim, 10/27/08
The reviewer below is clearly a friend or associate of this run down hovel. Yes, the outside frontage of the place has been tidied up but it's the condition of the rooms, services & reliability of the staff that matters most surely? The best rooms are apparently leased to the airlines for their crews between shifts, while everyone else has to put up with scruffy, dirty rooms & because of the types of people (low grade prostitutes & their pimps) that live & frequent here, this place ain't safe. Bust ups & violent arguments can frequently be heard at night with no intervention by the good (not) staff, hell no, like another reviewer alluded to, the staff appear to in with it all or are too scared to do anything about it. Either way this place ain't worth the hassle unless the only alternative is sleeping on the street.Either way - watch out!

Great Service, Excellent People
By C., 10/20/08
This place is a real gem. The staff treats you like family, rooms are newly renovated, and prices are reasonable. We needed a ride to the train when we were checking out. The property owner was right there and took us, personally, to the train. Now that's service!!!

Very Dodgy people running this place!
By Excalibur, 08/29/08
Like other unfortunate people I arrived here late at night due to my original hotel being over booked & no alternatives being available. This motel I believe is being mainly inhabited by illegal migrants & other undesirables with the full knowledge & blessing of the desk staff (management). The people running this place must also be getting some sort of kickback for the blatant prostitution going on here because they turn a blind eye to it all. What's worse is that some of the hookers appear to be minors! So, the local law enforcement people need to investigate & earn their pay. This motel creates the impression of fear or danger in the mind of any decent person unfortunate enough to have to stay here overnight & I note from local police that it has been raided many times in the past for drugs & firearms offences. I suspect it will be even more dangerous there now since the state of New Jersey has abolished the death penalty! Sure it's a bit cheaper than many other places but it aint a pleasant experience, so next time I will pay a bit more. I agree with other contributors here too about the poor hygiene with embedded chewing gum in some of the carpets, strong odour of stale cigarette smoke (even in non-smoking rooms), poor doors locks, dirty bed linen, problems with the heating (ie, not working), etc, etc, etc. Disgustingly low standards.

It was awful!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/21/08
It was dirty and unsafe. I was charged $119.00 for one night and 5 dollars cash for my room card and remote. Hookers were knocking on my door at all hours of the night, there was two 24 hour porn channels, houseflies in the room, hairs in the sink, stains in the tub, the room smelled like cigarettes and the bed did not even have a fitted bottom sheet. It was awful. My young child and I had cancelled flights and all the good places to stay were booked. Once I got in the room I wanted to leave, but did not feel safe doing so until daylight came. Next time I would rather sleep in the airport.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/07/07
when i was there with my family,(not a planned stay), we arrived about 10:00pm and within 10 minuets what appeared to be a hooker knocked at my door, she saw that i was with my wife and 2 children she said "i'm sorry i must have the wrong room", how she had mixed my room up with another baffles me, i was in a room that was at the end of a walkway, i would never go there again.

Good for the price
By Melissa, 07/05/07
I usually stay at a more expensive hotel for a shorter stay when I return home. For the money, the Swan was better. It's easy to get to and not far from 2 malls, New York and the airport. The room was clean. I really liked the refrigerator and microwave in the room. I especially liked the whirlpool bathtub. The only problem was the water in the tub was hard to turn but since there was always hot water, I didn't complain. It was quiet most of the time. There was also a diner next door that delivered. My children did miss having a pool on the premises. The only thing I had a problem with was being on the 2nd floor with all the luggage to carry (there were no doubles on the 1st flr.).
