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.
