Perfect

We stayed in the suit and it was wonderful. Great room for a great value over new years. It is also a strait shot to the Rahway rail station and it is only a 10 to 15 min walk. This was great for going into New York city.

Take Staten Island ferry for visiting new york area as its the best way to get there, and metro subway to travel around, its cheap and fast. Gray line tours are the best as well.

Below expectation

The staff manager who signed me in said I would have no problem getting out with the snow in the morning when I explicitly asked the night before about whether they would have something that I could use to clean my car with. Additionally, they put me on the 5th floor and there only one elevator and it broke while I was using on the second day and had to walk three flights od stairs to get in to my room that evening. The rooms were a bit noisy - but not terrible.
