The staff was very nice and went out of their way to be helpful. The place was pretty run down. The carpeting in the hall was old and worn out. The tile was not installed well. In places there were gaps. We slept there for 1 night and that's about all I would go there for. Would not stay any longer than that.room was ckean. The tile work was

We needed a place to stay that was convenient to a venue in downtown Paterson NJ. Location convenient and place was fine. But area very urban and rundown. It worked for us and they clearly try very hard to make it nice by plantings. Good parking. As long as you just need a place to stay in this area, it works fine.

The whole place was disgusting from the smell of the room to the bathroom. There was stuff all over the walls there was dirt in the bathtub the sink look like it hadn’t been clean. The smell in the whole room smelled like someone had been in there smoking between smoking cigarettes and marijuana. I couldn’t sleep as the smell made me sick. and he told us it was a no smoking room Couldn’t even get any rest cause people outside screaming, and letting their kids play around. Also your website said free breakfast NOT!!!

Very, very rude staff. Cockroaches came out of a new roll of toilet paper after I took the wrapper off. Found bed bugs also. Toilet wouldn't fill up with water so that the material would go down so it piled up. Called numerous times to complain about this and no one ever came to check it out. Noisy outside 24 hrs. Slamming doors. No tv channels. DOUBLE ZERO STARS

A shabby hotel in a gim and decrepit area, but the room was clean, the staff was nice and,, and everything worked - hot water, AC, refrigerater, etc. However it was supposed to have WiFi in the room and the WiFi did not reach mine. With so many things requiring online access these days, this is important. And WiFi extenders are so cheap now there's really no excuse for it.

The only thing I liked about this place was that it was closed to the place I came to visit. This place needs to be checked by sanitation department I asked for a non smoking room and I found cigarettes ashes on the nightstand and floor. The headboard was dirty with some weird stuff. The bathtub water didn’t work so we had to use a bucket to take a shower, the toilet water was hot and the sink water was cold. This place was just a mess we put our own bed sheets that I had just bought because there was no way I was laying on that bed. We stayed there because it was too late to find another place and the reason we stayed was because it was so close to where we needed to be. And the next day when we were checking out 2 police officers where there looking for a man that had an arrest warrant. I was so scared please don’t stay here and the management was so rude. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

The owner and his son are very belligerent. I paid 1700 in cash before finding Expedia which was 60.00 cheaper. The owner refused to accept additional days. I wanted to book through Expedia. He and his son threatened to call the police. I don't know why white folks think black people are afraid of the police( we should be with all the recent incidents!) I wouldn't recommend this dilipated, racist owners to a dog.

It was not in a safe area; my wife was very afraid and wanted to leave immediately. We only stayed one night as I was too tired to leave as our flight had just arrived and we were hungry. There were people smoking marijuana when we arrived, so the entire stay was terrible. I stayed up the entire night to defend my spouse in case someone tried to come into the room. Again, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone as it was unsafe.
