Staff were nice and we got the smokers room so it smelled like smoke but that’s what you get for picking the smokers room. There was a slight chemical smell? I physically couldn’t sneeze cuz of it. Toilet wasn’t that clean but other wise affordable and worth it if your on a budget.

The rooms were decent, they were clean, but it’s a very weird set up, this is actually not a Hotel, but it feels more like if you live in a shanty town. The breakfast? Could not be considered a breakfast by any stretch.

Our stay here was horrible. The property itself is unsafe and unsanitary where there's thrown out appliances such as microwaves in the parking lot, a mass amount of wild cats around. The room itself had a horrible odor, filled with insects, as if it was not open in days. The staff there doesn't clean the facility properly, and when they tried to leave us cups that we asked for they left them at the foot of our door rather than wait for us to answer. The heating/cooling system is ancient and does not offer proper comfort. The 'closet' did not have any hangers or really anything to put away clothing on. No pole even. No iron and the hair dryer did not work. The sheets were not cleaned properly. There were no personal hygiene products either. They advertise breakfast is included however they offered us a cold English muffin, and a small orange juice in a brown bag. That is not a breakfast you advertise for that is rations.

There is no such a call breakfast. One bottle of orange juice and two small muffin. Handover to me when I ask for the breakfast. Small roaches in the room and the housekeeper leave the door open. When I came nighttime I found my door was main door was open. I went to the front desk. I brought a guy to show him. I was so scared. I thought somebody inside.

I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, I was disappointed with the overall cleanliness. The rooms were not well-kept, and the bathrooms were definitely not up to standard. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and welcoming, which I did appreciate. However, I would caution future guests not to come with high expectations. While the service was nice, the condition of the facilities needs major improvement.

Stay away from this hotel. Sick.

This is the worst place I have ever stayed. The hotel is filthy, and the carpet is old. Room size is ok but not great condition. its also by the industrial area. The bathroom did not have proper showering shampoo, soap etc. we went to the store to get those.

Breakfast is a joke. They will ask how many and hand over an old muffin and an orange juice bottle. There was no warm food, and items were not fresh. We threw away those and decided to get our own breakfast.

We planned for an 11-day stay, but had to cancel the reservation in 2 days. We moved to another location which was great.

Overall, I did not want to spend time writing this review but thought of sharing with people who would think twice before making a reservation.

The pictures are misleading. The property is in dire need of remodeling, possibly even demolition. I considered booking another room at the much nicer-looking hotel that shares the parking lot for my daughter and me, but I couldn't afford to lose out on the $140 I already spent to stay here and pay another $200 for another room.

P.S. I very rarely leave reviews this bad! I do so that other parents with young children won't feel stuck the way I did!!

Let me just start off with the room was terrible. Building feels like it’s going to fall down under your feet. Staff has a horrible attitude. I went in my room to start dropped off my stuff and went out to Hoboken for the night. Came back to go to bed and checked under the mattress like everyone does. Come to find out there is rat feces all under the mattress and blood stains on the covers. What I would presume to be symptoms of bed bugs. When I went down to ask for a refund because I now had to sleep in my car. The manager Christian told me he couldn’t refund me and I would have to “deal with it”. At the end of the day a horrible place to stay. I now have to cancel the charge on my card.

Mmm no thanks

Room 183, looks trashy from outside but the mattress and sheet were surprisingly comfortable and clean. Found a cockroach in the bathroom and when you open the fan it smells cigarette. And the breakfast ? They gave you 2 muffins (bought at the supermarket) and one orange juice that was expired. Won’t comeback…ah and there were like 6 people living (yes living) in the room next to us…door always open and wearing weird costumes…well, it was quite an experience !

I’ve never left a negative review before, but I felt compelled to share that you should consider almost any location before this. The room itself wasn’t too bad, it was clean but very dated and lots of damage in the room, along with a handful of bugs. The hallways were very dirty and smelled of urine when walking outside. While nothing happened to us, it felt very unsafe.

Breakfast included is \"To Go\" not continental breakfast. \"To Go Breakfast\" consists of a paper bag with contents of these 3 items: 1) a 10 oz Tropicanna orange juice (room temperature), 2) Uncle Wally's Muffins (twin pack chocolate chip or blueberry - although option wasn't asked) & 3) Nature Valley Fruit & Nut Granola Bar. No ice available. Most hotels that do this type of breakfast have it noted within their general information. Decently clean (actually under black light, it was better than a lot of even upscale hotels). Retro style. Our room had tile floor which is preferred but other people with out party had carpeting.

It’s on a good location, but the property areas are really dirty and feel unsafe. The bedroom has a weird smell like it wasn’t clean for a long time and the bathroom was dirty. And because the property common areas feel unsafe and are open, it also feels unsafe when you’re in the room. I won’t stay there again.

Smoking Is My Need SafetyNeeds Guarantee

This style of motel you expect to have questionable areas be it cleanliness, comfort, clientele but overall not bad. The drapes need to be hung proper, clean bathroom vents,and seal the doors. Safety is paramount in the lower end motels A secure door no possible option to look into another’s room. Comfort, and pleasant desk staff was great just improve those security issues much better,

Not a nice hotel

Do not stay here. The room was dirty/dingy, smelled of smoke, and there were bugs. Leaking AC unit, swollen ceiling tiles, dirty tub. Pretty sure one of the lamp shades had a blood stain on it. There were people loitering in the parking lot-all rooms have windows that face directly out into the lot, people can look in when they pass. The room next to me had three people come in and leave in the span of a hour. I left almost immediately and booked another room.
