This is a very good property to go to when you are at EWR and you need an overnight stay. Considering the cost it is a very good option. Friendliness and attentiveness of the staff is also a plus factor. I didn’t explore the surroundings but seemed like an okay area.
I recommend this place.

For the price is a good option
We were there for a weekend. The place is about a 15 minute walk from the train in Elizabeth. It looks like they are remodeling it but there was no cleaning on any day. The place needs a refrigerator and microwave. the bed was comfortable.

The staff was kind. Rating of room was incorrect. It was rated high. Table was old and chipped, wobbly, shower was painted on, I had to endure hearing a man talking all night through the walls next door, trucking neighborhood, neighborhood has trash everywhere, bed look like it was on milk crates. Tub drain was clogged, shower curtain edges was dirty, the floor of the room was filthy, I had to stand on towels the whole visit. Sheets probably is not switched out from bed. But this location had a high rating. Only if you just came home from prison would this seem like heaven. Unfortunately, I was totally misled because the pictures are from standing in front of the service counter snd pictures of room was horrible…

Service was great, rooms were clean, but there was barely any furniture, floors were tile with no rugs or even a doormat (it was raining) no cups, limited linens (no comforter), and the AC/Heat was loud.

The property is somewhat outdated, though it has been adequately cleaned. The room is average and feels safe. However, there were several issues: the room condition was not ideal, including the lack of hot water in the shower and a broken drawer in the bedside table. Additionally, the TV channels were unavailable, and the room lacked essential amenities such as a hair dryer and cups (neither paper nor disposable plastic cups were provided).

The guys who checked us in were very professional and nice. However, the room wasn't very clean. There was a blob of something that looked like jelly and hair on the floor, pee stains on the toilet seat (which were cleaned after we pointed it out). We had to also ask for washcloths (didnt get it) and a trashcan (got it). No where to hang up clothes, no ironing board. The door to our room didnt lock. We were offered to change rooms but honestly before you give a room key out, the room should be at leaat decent.
Dont bring your kids here!
