If you need privacy this is a good spot you'd pass by the place without knowing coming down 1+9. Prices are pretty good for the area. Rooms aren't new but the cleaning staff are on point. Not a bug in sight.
By far this was the cleanest Motel I have ever been to. The stuff was professional and friendly. The rooms have AIR CONDITIONER which is always a+. Also there is WiFi here. It was worth the $53.00 I paid :)
It was clean and all and I will be back soon. Maybe,for an overnight.
Clean quite. Close to stores yet in the cut. Prices were reasonable.
The man Who works in the front desk is disrespectful.
Great place to go and get away from the usual.... great short stay hours and prices....
As others have said this is a hidden gem. It's a clean, safe and a quiet property that is close to the Newark airport. If you're only going to over night and don't want to spend an arm and leg to get your rest this is the place for you.
This place is cheap but the service was not good ..... You can hear the other people in the next room and when they open the door, the door hits the wall of the room where we were... it gives an unsafe feeling .
I used to come here when I was 18 with my ex-boyfriend okay me a few times this year
Nice spot for the money spent. What's up with the no left turns tho
