Essence Express Elizabeth EWR Airport

The space is clean but someone can’t waste their money in a hotel and inside the room doesn’t have a refrigerator no ice that’s terrible and people can’t use the tv,

Safe. Convenient. Easy Parking. Close proximity to airport, gas stations and shopping. Friendly staff. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I have never stayed in a hotel with out a refigerator,,microwave no water or ice tv stayed broken and heat did not work I would never stay there again nor would recommend anyone to go there I think you should check out these places before you put them with your company because it make customers not want to do business with Expedia i would give this place NO Stars

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.

The hotel room was just okay for a short timepass — nothing impressive but decent for a quick stay. However, there were a few issues. Parking was a hassle, not enough space and hard to manage. The Wi-Fi was very slow — only 2G speed, which made it difficult to use for anything more than basic browsing. Even faced issues with the Wi-Fi during booking. Overall, not the best experience.

Staff was very kind. Room was clean.

Sheets were stained with substances

It was very clean, pretty basic...no smoking. I enjoyed my stay

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!

Really good valeur for being this close to NYC. Bathrooms were dirty, but the end wasn’t and was surprisingly comfortable! Plus the staff member at the lobby was friendly and helpfull!

Fantastic rates, room and bathroom were very clean

The first room that was given me had dirty bed sheets.

Definitely Not the cleanest room I’ve booked. I found used personal products under the garbage can. There was used tissue behind the night stand.

Place was dirty and smelled awful. Worst stay of my life.

I have to change my room because smells of smoke...it was uncomfortable, could not sleep. I wish I could check out folllowing day.

the hotel was good, but place is very noisy. Could not sleep for half of the night

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.

- near the Subway to New York - no microwave, no bedside lamps, no hair dryer

Make sure to get a room on the 2ndFl. First floor kind of old and worn. Everything is new with marble bathroom walls on the 2ndFl. Front desk very okay with changing rooms if hit with the first floor

None chain hotel reasonably priced for the New York area. Spartan room which needs some sort of noise dampening. I was woken at 04.30 by traffic noise and it is not next to an highway, by 05.30 further sleep was impossible. Would not use again for the noise reason

No working wifi

I have never stayed in a hotel with out a refigerator,,microwave no water or ice tv stayed broken and heat did not work I would never stay there again nor would recommend anyone to go there I think you should check out these places before you put them with your company because it make customers not want to do business with Expedia i would give this place NO Stars

The WiFi connection is horrid. And they were not able to get my tv working. So no WiFi and TV is completely unacceptable

The TV & remote & amazing array of choices made it fantastic!!! I will recommend it & return just for that. Big room & huuuge comfy bed too!

Staff was very kind. Room was clean.

Excellent service

Good stay Nice front desk

I would recommend anyone to stay there it was awesome clean and everything was perfect customer service was excellent

I did not a place to stay and this hotel took me in. Best customer service, great beds and nice area in the cut off the road the way I like it. I will always book here to stay again. :))

Friendly staffs

I suppose everything was okay for the price point. The room was not cleaned or towels refreshed on a daily basis. The heater/air conditioner was noisy but functional. It was within walking distance of the train station which was a huge plus.

Great customer service and friendly staffs

Great service

Poor service

The location was great

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.

Noisy at night and feel insecure environment. Bathroom smells bad.

Decent for the price considering the area, but that general area could be a bit safer.

Safe. Convenient. Easy Parking. Close proximity to airport, gas stations and shopping. Friendly staff. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

It’s quiet, budget friendly and convenient if u traveling 2 New York

Room was hot because AC was shut off. Towel had stain. Not great area but close to Newark airport.

Not the best area

I suppose everything was okay for the price point. The room was not cleaned or towels refreshed on a daily basis. The heater/air conditioner was noisy but functional. It was within walking distance of the train station which was a huge plus.

Good place to stay in Elizabeth nj. 1km walk to train station.
