“My unpleasant stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I would not wish this motel on anyone. Check in time was not until 3am yet they were calling us about payment at 11am that day and room wasnt even ready. There was no handle on the bathroom faucet sink. There were not enugh towels for us to use. The sheets were dirty and they didnt even have anymore to offer us. The carpet on the floor was dirty and ripped in places. The shower head had mold behind it. There was a big hole in the wall where door had hit several times that wasnt fixed. Fly's were all over the room. Furniture was outdated. Nothing like what there pictures showed on there website. Newly renovated? They really need to get serious with themselves

Room Tip: Read all the reviews and the competitors prices before selecting a motel. If the price falls well b...

“UGH...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2011

people found this review helpful

To say this motel was a nightmare is being too kind. First red flag was when I gave the taxi driver the name of this motel, he said "Oh no not a place for nice girls, dangerous and dirty, drugs and hookers!" The room smelled so bad, the sheets were dirty, the one towel in the bathroom was dirty, the microwave was sitting on top the trash can, blood stains on the walls, the list goes on. Booked another room at another HOTEL and was much happier.

“Sleep in your Car!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2010

The first room that was given to us my husband and I the door knob wouldn't work so we asked for another room. The next room had cigarette ashes on the phone, soda or something spilled on the night table, hairs on the bed sheet, and oil smudges on the headboard. I told management that the room looked like it hadn't been cleaned and he said that he would send someone to clean it..1 hr later a man came in with spray and a dirty rag and wiped down the night stands and headboard. Another man also came in to change the sheets and the mattress cover had a huge brown stain on it and it should have been bleached. I see another reviewer must have had the same room because that brown spot was mentioned. I asked the man while he was in the room to clean the bathroom also and he told me to tell management, which I had done in the first place and he said that first shift should have cleaned it. The only thing that was good was the price for 1 night, but I would sleep in my car next time because I felt real dirty staying there but we chose it for location. We were going on a cruise the next day. If you are looking for a place for a (quickie) and not sleep there then pay the 100.00 for the night, other than that spend another 200.00 and get a clean place to stay overnight. They have a nerve leaving a tip envelope, they would have to pay me to stay there again!!!!
The cleaning men were non English speaking and there was no Bible in the room. As other lazy people do, they pointed fingers at another shift and didn't end up cleaning the bathroom. The room also needed repairs, the TV was very dark and the bathroom sink was falling apart and was dirty. The room also smelled of cigarettes even though there was a no smoking sign on the door. This place should be shut down and just used for parking because as I said before, I would have felt better sleeping in my car.(Starlite Motel, Tonnele ave NJ)
