We stayed at this hotel for four nights during our trip to NYC. The hotels web pages say that it is conviniently located near outlet malls and New York City. Well, to NYC the bus (NJ Transit) takes only about half an hour and costs (in October 2009) $4,40 per adult one way. But to the outlet malls (Seacaucus and... more

This place was gross. The whole place smelled like a moldy sock. The first room we were in actually had mold and mildew on the wall in the room not to mention the bathroom. We changed rooms only to see the same thing. Holes in the walls patched over with mismatched wall paper. Mildew all over the walls in the... more

We were looking for a cheap stay near the NYC area. We got a great price on the hotel, but as many have said before me...you get what you pay for! First moments in the hotel were a good indication of what my stay would be like. It took 10 minutes before anybody came to see me at the check... more

41 bucks a night but I think you could pay by the hour if you know what I mean. Since the hotel was located in the shifty part of new jersey we debated on bringing in our purchases every night or risk leaving them in the car. First off the hotel does have a harsh smell to it, sometimes it... more

But relatively clean. -Safe in room was broken, so they moved us to a new room. Which had no safe at all. -Prostitute doing business all night... more

We just used this hotel as a place to spend the nights while visiting family in the area. We were not expecting to be entertained while at the hotel...just sleep, shower, spend a bit of evening time in the room. We found the room to be cleaned well each day, noise level was good, and staff was friendly. We will... more

Nice hotel

We stayed at this Howard Johnson's because it was only 20 minutes from Broadway. We were surprised at how clean it was and inexpensive..$60 which included tax. The room had a hair dryer, coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave and safe. It was roomy as well. At this hotel you can also catch a (private) shuttle (10 each) to the city to... more

We arrived early evening after a non-stop drive from NYC. All we cared about was sleep. The beds were comfortable and the pillows decent. The next morning, we opened the curtains to our pool-side view and were very upset to see a disgusting mess where clear, clean water should have been. It seems that the pool was closed for the... more

Not too bad!

Booked this hotel to stay in over the weekend of the Bamboozle music festival before having read all of the bad reviews on here. When arriving, front desk took about 15 mins before I was served (even though it was 1am!). Faint smoke smell, but as to be expected from a hotel that allows smoking. Room was a good size... more
