My group and I stayed in this hotel in order to compete in the New Jersey Regional Science Fair. well, all we wanted was a quiet pleasant stay at a hotel but instead we were struggling to fall asleep. One would think it would be insomnia or something but, no. There were extravagantly loud, inappropriate noises and gestures coming from... More

This hotel used to be terrible and maybe still is on the weekends but Monday night was ok. Funky smell in the rooms still but no prostitutes or crackheads and homeless people in sight so that's a plus! Stay somewhere else if u can but if you are financially unable to.. Enjoy the ride! More

This place was ok 5 years ago, so I didn't hesitate to book it again when having to stay in the area for a funeral. This time it was dirty and the beds were very uncomfortable. There was a sign at the desk saying "be back in a moment," but we had to wait a very long time for the... More

Needed a place to stay over since was going to Starland for a concert. Waited till last minute and ended up here, its cheap and we slept there thats all the nice things I can say. We spent maybe 8 hours there. It is a dump and it probably does change to an hourly rate after a certain hour, but... More

As I´ve said above,never stay there even if it´s cheaper than any other place,don´t get wrong as I did,they rent room to any kind of people and it´s also known for being unsafe.I was assaulted and robbed there and no one even noticed it,there are no cameras whatsoever and if there are,well they might unplugged..the worst place on earth!

If you can find it, stay at a different place. The carpets are... dirty is an understatement. One of the two chairs in my room was broken and had been arranged so that it looked ok. I sat and it sank with two nails coming out. I informed the manager and he said he'd take care of it. Nobody did... More

Stranded by Hurricane Irene, I stayed here after my flight was cancelled and I had no way home. This place is a complete dump. Bed is ancient, stains on everything, holes punched into the walls and doors, pillows were flat as pancakes, loveseat was old, ratty and torn. I also suspect that they rent rooms by the hour. The hotel... More

I was travelling alone on business in the area and simply needed a convenient and inexpensive place to stay. It is close to the highway and is inexpensive, but there is a lot more to this place. After I checked in and went to my room I quickly saw a seedy element at the property. This hotel houses the homeless... More

Never stay at any motel on Jersey turnpike-armpit of the USA. Dirty rooms! Extremely noisy-think they rent rooms by the hour. If you get close to this exit-keep driving! More

I think this is probably the worst place I have ever stayed at in the United States. We booked the motel as a one night, half way stay for a trip to Washington. The hotel sounds great on the website description "..newly renovated, etc." We got there at around 12:00 pm at night and it was quite a shock. There... More
