Awesome!
The ratings are not doing it justice! It literally is right across from the train station and is perfect for traveling into NYC. The staff were great, free transportation to and from EWR was perfect! Loved the room, beds were so comfy and everything was super clean!! We were just there for a week during st Patrick's day and there was a party a couple doors down but by midnight they were quiet! No complaints here! Def stay here every time I go back!! Loved it! Showers were great and we didn't have issues with water on the floor at all! And I am a real person and not just trying to make the hotel look good. We loved it!!

Great location with easy access to NY city
We stayed for four nights and found the hotel to be very clean and modern with friendly staff. Because of the location, we were able to go to New York City for a day easily.

Mean staff makes for a poor experience
Our visit could have been a great experience, but the rude staff tainted our stay with bitter thoughts. Apart from the mean staff members, the decor is upbeat and contemporary, the room was clean, and we got a decent room rate so the value was still ok. I've had friendlier service at a roadside motel. Perhaps a bit of training can turn these folks around.

Change of scenery
Umm, different
It was just ok. It was clean and quiet. The halls reminded me of a dormitory though. Room was spacious. Probably would not stay here again though.

classic and colorfull
I was there just for a personal visit. The only problem was dirt accumulated on the bathroom floor and ammonia on the shower head. Besides that it was relaxing and comfortable.

disappointing experience
Hotel Indigos are usually great, so we chose to stay here. However, a shower that barely drizzled on us, hairs on the bath towels upon arrival, and unfriendly check-out staff made this a disappointing experience.
