Conveniently located just off the highway, nothing fancy but good value. Clean, spacious room in good condition. The area is not one to spend your time in, but good for staying fir a night on a way somewhere else.

Easy Access To All NYC / NJ Routes

Pleasant front desk staff. Nice breakfast in the morning. Waffle stations and hot foods along with juices, coffee and cereals. The pillows were all very soft and we would have liked firmer options. Easy access to Turnpike, Rt 18 and Rt 1. Less than 1 mile from bus transit to NYC. Highly recommend.

Laurie

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very comfortable bed and pillows. Clean. Good breakfast including eggs, sausage, breads, oatmeal and toppings, cereals and fruit. The coffee wasn’t the best - more like a drizzle of dark stuff followed by hot water. Lighting isn’t bright enough in the bathroom or bedroom. It is very difficult to see and get into the parking lot. You’re entering literally off the highway, and there’s construction in front of the building. It’s hard to see the driveway entrance.
