My stay was good & the service was excellent. The front desk attendant Ashely, was very helpful and friendly. She took the time to find maps and took great care of my concern on traveling on train to NYC. She went out of her way for all the guests. I was staying for two nights and will be back soon to stay here next time for sure!

I used a Priceline "instant deal" to book a last-minute trip, paying $49 for a Saturday night stay. I was a bit concerned based on some of the reviews, but figured for that price it was worth a try. I was pleasantly surprised: the management must read the reviews also. The room was large and very clean, and updated with a flat-screen TV, free wifi, comfortable bed, and fluffy pillows (and the mattress was encased in a white zippered cover, so bugs were not a concern). The carpet appeared to be new, and the bathroom and kitchenette were floored in woodgrain plank vinyl, which was also new-looking. The bathroom was very small, but clean and functional. I was glad to have read in a review that shampoo, etc., was not provided, so had brought my own. Both the evening clerk when I checked in and the morning clerk when I checked out were friendly and helpful. I was not asked for a credit card with my prepaid reservation, which I appreciated. The location was convenient: close to the freeway, to Rutgers, and to dining & shopping. My only disappointment was that the ice maker in my fridge didn't work and there wasn't an ice machine in the hall.
