I booked a room for 4 weeks with a kitchenette, when I got there, I was given a room without a kitchenette. I went back to the front desk and told the mgr./owner took the reservation & the room they were going to give me the stove was broke. Then, it was further relayed to me that the rooms with kitchenettes, the max they are rented out for is 3 nights.... But I booked for 4 weeks & they excepted my booking.
I was only in the room 3 to 4 hours and in that time, I seen a ROACH. I went back to the front desk told them I didn't want to stay any longer. I was told that they would refund me all but the 2 night (I missed the first night) so long as I check out before 11a. I was ck'd out by 10:55a recv'd an email that that I would be refunded but THEY TOOK OUT OVER $600 FOR 2 NIGHTS when my itinerary breakdown shows that the room rate for the 2 nights should have totaled about $175
I am now in dispute with my credit card because I still have not recv'd my refund almost 2 weeks now.

This motel is situated on the outskirts of the New Jersey town of Linden, about a 15 minute walk from the NJ Transit train station and by the side of a busy main road. The motel is dated, but my room was clean and there was a fridge, microwave and a fairly small TV. The room itself is tired, especially the bathroom, but I thought the price was reasonable for the accommodation provided. There is ample car parking available and the motel is situated next door to McDonalds. In the bathroom, the towels provided weren’t very big and they could do with being replaced with better quality, bigger towels for showering. The main downside to this motel was the traffic noise from the main road. Additionally, whilst the air conditioning was superb at cooling the room, it was very noisy. Positives included a very big, very comfortable bed.

I found the motel to be great value for money and would stay here again if I needed to find cheaper, basic accommodation near Newark Airport and within fairly easy reach of New York.

“I would never stay at this hotel again. The customer service was absolutely terrible from the moment I checked in. The front desk staff were rude, unhelpful, and acted like guests were an inconvenience. Every question I asked was met with an attitude, and requests for assistance were either ignored or took hours to be addressed.

The room was just as disappointing. It was dirty, poorly maintained, and looked nothing like the photos online. The carpet had stains, the bathroom wasn’t properly cleaned, and the furniture was worn out and damaged. The bed was uncomfortable, and the walls were so thin that I could hear everything happening in the neighboring rooms all night.

For the price charged, I expected basic cleanliness and decent customer service, but this hotel failed on both. Save your money and stay somewhere else.”

Nothing about this room is good. The door when closed you could still see outside, the windows were filthy, the beds were awful. The smell of the room awful and the traffic all night long was horrible. Just as I fell asleep I was woke up to a air horn from a rig outside and could feel the traffic going by through the walls.

We needed a clean place to sleep after our flight out of Newark was canceled. We arrived at the Crown Inn (a motel).. As soon as we opened the door, the smell of mildew hit us. I took a video of the room for friends, laughing as I did so, because it was so incredibly bad. There was water in the walls and ceiling so that the paint was bubbling out. When we touched the paint bubbles, they were squishy with water. The corner of the bedroom had an active drip of water into it, and several feet were of the flooring was wet and squishy. The bathroom had dirty brown water running down the side of the wall, into a spare toilet paper roll that was wet and brown. There were several water bubbles in the bathroom ceiling over 6 inches in diameter that looked like they could pop at any time. But the smell was the worst. My husband has asthma and his lungs started to burn within minutes of being in the room. We just couldn’t sleep there. I went to back to the front desk, with its plexi glass barrier, and asked if we could have another room. After some discussion they gave us another room with an enormous Jacuzzi tub surrounded by mirrors. I thought that looked super fun, but the tub was not operational. The bathroom was dirty, again, but the bed seemed to clean and we slept in it for a few hours before leaving at 4 in the morning for our flight. There was some noise above us from the other rooms, but we were so tired we crashed and slept through it. Sorry, but the place is falling apart.

The attendant could not find my reservation, he spent 20 minutes looking for it, had to call someone, spend a lot of time on the phone, I showed him a copy of my receipt and he finally was able to get us a room, not sure it was the one I reserved. It was on the first floor, and in a very neglected state, the desk had stains, the paint was peeling, there was mold in the bathroom, there was also a very large jacuzzi in the room and the attendant told us specifically NOT to use it, this is the worse room I have ever stayed in and I dont understand how it is listed on Hotels.com, I read the reviews and they do not reflect anything I experienced, I am very disappointed about the service we received and the neglected state of the room.

Upon arrival into the property, it felt very unsafe. It was not in a comforting area as I was talking to the front desk personnel it seemed that he had no care in his job. He barely even talk to us. He finally gave us her key and upon entering the room, it had a foul odor of weed. So much to the point where it made us sick and we left within 20 minutes. I tried to get a refund. They did not give me a refund even though I didn’t spend the night overall it was a horrible experience and I would not recommend.

Clean your floors. If a person’s socks turn black as coal, it’s too dirty. The noise level was terrible. You can hear cars and trucks go by all the time.

The location is convenient. There's noise from the busy street but it's not overwhelming. The sleeping and working area has been renovated and is clean and modern, but the floors need a thorough mopping (my socks were almost black from walking on them) and the bathroom needs renovation. Otherwise, a convenient and peaceful stay.
