The room was absolutely sufficient for two nights and very clean as well. We enjoyed our cheap stay, the only thing which bothered us was the AC (very noisy). Besides that, great room for not a lot of money!

Not great, at least there is a Wawa nextdoor

Room had dirty walls and an odd smell we could not identify, the comforter had holes in it, springs poking out of mattress and there was a broken chair. Would not stay more than one night at this place. Parking was accessible and there is a Wawa next door so that was good.

This is a Motel PERIOD! Pros… the Owner was very friendly & accommodating. NJ Transit is a short walk from the property. WAWA is rite next door. If you’re not familiar with the Chain, download the App… Pun Intended. Cons… the Property is outdated, Rooms are SMALL, try to get a corner in the back if u can. Super busy all night Freeway in front of the Property. Would I go back, probably. It’s either the Motels or the ridiculous high end chain Hotels near the Airport and surrounding area.

The front desk attendant was rude and lazy. She refused to get up and acknowledge my presence. She kept demanding cash payment without telling me my card hadnt been charged when I booked a room online. She has terrible customer service skills. I wouldnt recommend my worst enemy to stay at that rat hole motel!
