I have stayed at this hotel probably more than anywhere in the world. i work for a group tour company and we have used this property many times. Always clean and the staff is very helpful. Breakfast is not four star, but good. Rooms are fairly spacious and nice enough since you will be spending most of your time in the city. If you are using this hotel for a stay-over (airport nearby), I recommend it as well. Location is not great and it's a little hard to find if you are driving in, but once you are in the hotel, it feels very safe and adequate. I would recommend for a better price than NYC or a stay-over. I have stayed here with my family as well and have never had any problems!

Disclaimer: If you're from outside (not from NJ or NY and maybe other neighboring states) don't get offended if the people are short, loud, and sarcastic with you. I think it's a cultural thing because we kept getting treated like that. We’re obviously not from the East. I have friends from the East and they’re not like that but since we kept getting treated like that the minute we landed in NJ I assumed it was cultural to not give it so much importance or get offended.
The rooms smelled like mold and feet. WATCH YOUR FOOTING WHEN GETTING INTO THE TUB! It's a little higher than you think. Someone in the hallway kept slamming their door and yelling throughout the night. The WI-FI was VERY slow. The rooms looked tired and we found unsolicited religious paraphernalia hanging from one of our lamps in our room (aside from the usual Bible you find in a drawer). The coffee maker is in the bathroom which we found both unsanitary and inconvenient (not sure if it’s just a NJ thing). Furniture overall looked tired. It seemed as if it had been a while since they had dusted/vacuumed. I found a lot of cobwebs by my bed. The only good thing about this hotel is the service we received from the waitress (Ivy I believe was her name). She made us feel at home and even though she was the only waitress in the restaurant AND bar she tried her best to accommodate us and make us feel at home.

The parking lot is horrible. It is narrow, few spaces, and in order to leave the lot you have to reverse all the way out. Someone damaged our car and the hotel refused to help me and kept giving me the run around about who to talk to. Hotel refused to take responsibility or liability for anything. Worst experience ever. Will never stay here and will never recommend it. Stay away!

When we arrived at this hotel there was a crowd of smokers hanging outside the lobby, one of them was the front desk clerk. The hotel room was recently renovated with nice furniture but the bathroom was crammed, old, and had hairs all over the tub.

The hotel is located in a shady area with no restaurants or entertainment in walking distance. It looks very unsafe outside the hotel. It does have its own restaurant and bar.

The distance by car from the airport to the hotel is about 15mins. The hotel provides a free/courtesy shuttle to and from the airport. The hotel also have a free drop off and pick up to a few of the train stations. Additionally, there is a $25.00 service charge to be taken to the Jersey Garden Mall. This makes the location ideal for an over night stay. However, there are no stores or restaurants within walking distance. There is a restaurant located in the hotel that operates on a rather limited time basis i.e. it is not open 24hrs. The hotel advertises a free continental and hot breakfast buffet. The hot breakfast consists of scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage links and waffles. There is also machine operated oatmeal. The cold selection was cereal, yogurt, bread, bagels, muffins and I only saw apples for fresh fruit. Breakfast is between the hours of 7am-10am. At exactly 10.am the restaurant staff shuts off the juice machine and promptly start removing the food and carrying it in the back. This timeframe is strictly adhered to even on Saturday and sunday mornings. Breakfast is a very informal affair where the hotel has plasticware set out for the hotel guests. Paper cups for tea/coffee/hot chocolate/juice and plastic plates and bowls and plastic spoons, forks and knives. The hotel bar opens between 4.30 or 5.30pm and remains open until midnight. Dinner can be ordered from 5.30pm-11pm thereabouts.There is free wifi and 2 computers in the lobby area for public use. I found the computer connection to be extremely slow. I attempted to use the computer early Sunday morning and there was no connection. I alerted the front desk staff who first checked the connection then made a call to the computer company. The internet was still down upon my checking out the following morning. I prepaid for my stay and although the hotel took my credit card details for any incidentals they did not have my room telephone connected. By the way the hotel do have free local calls up to a maximum of 30mins and free long distance. I am not certain if the timeframe is the same or less. I had to call twice before the telephone in my room was connected and while I was there at some point they disconnected it and I had to call again to have the service reconnected. I would recommend this hotel for overnight stay due to its proximity to the airport. However, I would not recommend it for extended stay as there is nothing of interest closeby or within walking distance.
