Pros I like the price , I had a good night sleep, the bathroom was a nice size , the service was on point.
Cons They didnt have a microwave or frig nor a ice machine which i think they should have overall if you just need a spot thats in the buget for a night this is it.

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.

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The property is somewhat outdated, though it has been adequately cleaned.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!

I consider this a budget motel. Entered and it had a smell of overused powder odor eliminator for carpets. But there's no carpets. The floor was sticky. We just made sure we wore our shoes. The linens and towels had stains and need to be replaced. The pictures posted of interior and exterior are pretty accurate. Yes, it shows it's somewhat modern, but it's cheaply done- decent enough for a budget motel. The AC unit worked great. The shower water pressure was great! The person working the desk was nice.
Location is about 15-20mins from NJ transit - Elizabeth/Broad Station. There's a grocery store in short distance. Bus stop nearby, but it didn't show up twice as stated on schedule. Lyft is avaliable. We used that to get to mall and back, as well as getting to the airport. The airport is close and took about 10 mins drive. The motel was quiet. Didn't hear traffic and neighbors were quiet. I felt safe in the area as i walked to/from Elizabeth station. The area near the stain station had dining, but we didn't eat there. Police station also located there.
I wouldn't stay here again. It was my first time in NJ. It wasnt the worst budget place in stayed at for a last minute trip. Is definitely pay more and stay somewhere else.
