The rooms were pretty clean but in need of some deep cleaning and updating. The staff was friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was outstanding and the coffee was delicious. The pool however was very small and also in need of some deep cleaning. But the hotel was great location near MetLife and American dream mall.

Very convenient location if you are visiting American Dream. The restaurant nextdoor has the most incredible atmosphere and you can walk right over! The pool was just big enough for some play time for the kids to ge followed up with an ice cream bar from the lobby store! Great options at breakfast and the dining area was very chic. Will definitely stay again!
