Essence Express Elizabeth EWR Airport

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

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,

No room amenities… expected atleast water and tea coffee

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The property is somewhat outdated, though it has been adequately cleaned.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

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.

No trash can No lamps Table in room (round dining table) made it tight to get in bed Water Luke warm No Kleenex tissue paper Cracked sink with no stopper Old worn towels No bed spread Floor was cheap vinyl

I didn't see a hair drier, snd water sink could not hold water because it doesn't have a switch to pop the plug up and let the water flow.

No appliances no front desk services

Simply horrible Cold no heating in washroom No blankets other than a thin sheet and extremely light cover Extreme noise late at night by trucks backing up no hot water in sink in washroom and barely working in shower

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

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!

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

I think you're getting a low budget motel experience when you stay here. Nobody came to clean at all. My room smelled like smoke and my luggage continued to smell like smoke and I've been home for two weeks

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

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.

There was no hot water for showers

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.

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.

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

Toilet didn’t fully work right. Also the door wasn’t fully insulated so cold air kept getting in

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.

Friendly staffs

Poor service

No appliances no front desk services

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.

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

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

Not the best area

5 minutes into being in our room we were about to return the key and sleep in our car in a parking lot. This area was horrible! I’m honestly not sure what I was expecting but $120, a night a lot more than what I got. All of the appliances were broken such as drawers. the room was filthy had bed bugs weird sticky substances on the wall the bed was like sleeping on a cardboard mat. Not to mention this is probably the worst area in Jersey! Another person renting a room was staring at us while we unpacked our car. Unless you’re stranded or have no where else to go I would never recommend this place sleeping at a rest stop in your car is better then sleeping at this hotel.

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.

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