It was alright.

Do not have a lot to say about the property as I have booked it for my family without me. They did not say anything bad in particular, besides Hooter’s being almost at the same building. But this is not Hotel’s fault. It is an okay hotel.

Good option for NYC visit

Stayed here (instead of Manhattan) to obtain more reasonable prices. It was great. It is close to the train station and the ride into Manhattan was much shorter than staying on Long Island.

good deal all around. clean

This is a hotel like pretty much any other. No nonsense, no thrills, no extras. Spacious room that is clean and that is about all you can hope for these days. I would stay here again if I need to be close to Rutgers (my daughter attends there) but it surely is no destination. Breakfast buffet is your typical hotel spread. Nothing bad to say about the property just not anything wow either but then I did not book it for that or expected that. So I got what I booked and paid for and was happy.

We have stayed at this location many times. The rooms are always well maintained and staff is always courteous. We do recommend a little bit better care of the parking area. There was a lot of trash and debris throughout the parking area. Also, would give the Hooters portion of the property a fresh paint job and maybe some kind of lighted sign on the side wall and a sign up front with an open sign because it always looks closed.
