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.

Never in my life have I stayed in such a disgusting place. The person there that night seemed like something out of a horror movie; very despotic and rude. You can't get hot water at night, only until the next day. The place was full of mold and filth everywhere, and the room was tiny; it only fit the bed and a chair, all rusted up to one side. If you want to experience a real-life Halloween night, go to that place.

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 Cons… the Property is outdated, Rooms are SMALL, try to get a corner in the back if u can.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.

No microwave! No fridge! No closet! Not sure if the pillow cases and blankets were laundered since I got itchy. I expected more for my $85.00. This is my honest assessment and I hope the owner will eye this.

You get what you pay for. Don’t come here looking for relaxation, there were ants crawling on the bed, and on the countertop/sink , millions of them, we started killing them all and then 2 minutes later a bunch more appeared. You can’t leave food or drinks open for a few mins because the ants will get to it. Overall the hotel serves its purpose for why we went there, but it wasn’t luxury which I didn’t expect it to be either. The ants just were annoying. I can get past the stiff hard bed, and the moldy shower curtain, and even the dirty tub, but the ants was a red flag.

Pay the extra 20 bucks to stay anywhere else on the strip. It is worth it to go elsewhere. The clean towels had stains that…. Well i just don’t need to explain beyond that. Soap was chalk and I slept ontop on bed with my coat on….

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!

I had a reservation and a confirmation number and already paid for a room at this hotel and when I showed up at 1 o’clock in the morning to get my room she told me I could not stay there and she did not refund my money and it’s not like I was out of control I don’t even drink and she told me I had to leave the premises. Very rude I would never go there again.
