There was mold growing around the air conditioning unit, there were broken vents in the bathroom that you could clearly hear other tenants thru, and other rooms were visibly under construction, I was worried about staying here and sadly didn’t have any other options, the staff was nice and got me check in and out quickly, but the hotel itself really needs a health and safety upgrade.

Property is very old and run down. As I was checking in, a lady was asking for roach spray. The windows to my room didn’t latch. There was dirt on the walls and a pair of socks behind the bedside table. The chair was broken. I would not have expected to pay close to $200 for this room - it was more like a $80-100 room. Front desk staff were friendly enough.

Worst experience! Will Never Go Back!!!!!
This is one of our worst experiences ever!. We will Never ever go back to this hotel again. The first room that was provided smelled so bad that it began to exacerbate my asthma. There was black mold, scrapped paint on the ceiling, and walls. The bathroom is outdated we did not shower. There was rust on the vent, and areas around the door that was missing. We laid on top of the bedsheets in fear of what might be inside the bed. The man tried to accommodate us by showing us different rooms. However, he himself walked into certain rooms and said it smelled badly. Only reason we stayed was he kept saying he could not provide us with a refund and that we would have to talk to Hotels. He refused to provide any documentation saying we were leaving and unsatisfied. We reluctantly stayed there two nights. Only was in the hotel about 5hrs each day. We ensure we were outside more than inside the hotel. I put a club on my car in fear that it would stolen by the time I woke up. Indian folks run the hotel and they should be ashamed as the standard is lower than how than would stay if they were going on vacation themselves. It was clearly evident that they were embarrassed when questioned about the hotel. I would have rather stayed in the car then sleep in the hotel. Also found baby roaches! We kept everything closed.

Amazing for the price. The room always was clean. The staff was nice. The front desk always was attentive but not speaker English. The inconvenience was the limit transportation if you need to move to New York or another place of New Jersey!

Dump!
Place is dirty. We checked out on time and asked if they could hold our bags for a couple hours. They charges us a fee!!! Never had that happen at a hotel and especially at a dump of a hotel. They just wanted to gouge us for as much money as possible.Don’t stay here.

The room had no electricity so we were given another room. There was an overwhelming smell of fabulouso but the carpet looked dirty, the bathroom looked dirty, the showerhead leaked on the side. Dresser drawers would not stay shut. Just not what i expected for $240.
