Pour une personne qui n'a pas de moyen de transport (voiture privée), cet hôtel est très pratique avec les arrêts du bus 62 qui vous amène à l'aéroport de NEWARK et à la gare principale de NEWARK (PENN Station).

I think you're getting a low budget motel experience when you stay here. Nobody came to clean at all. My room smelled like smoke and my luggage continued to smell like smoke and I've been home for two weeks

The hotel room was just okay for a short timepass — nothing impressive but decent for a quick stay. However, there were a few issues. Parking was a hassle, not enough space and hard to manage. The Wi-Fi was very slow — only 2G speed, which made it difficult to use for anything more than basic browsing. Even faced issues with the Wi-Fi during booking. Overall, not the best experience.

The rooms are out dated - the bathtub paint was peeling and there were small bugs buzzing around - we came in late so had to stay a night but booked another hotel after seeing the conditions here. the Bed was a glorified futon and gave me severe back pain. would not recommend staying here would give negative stars if i could.
