Staff both days were fantastic and exceptional on helpfulness. They went above and beyond to help us find public pickelball courts as university did not have any PB facilities open. Rooms spotless. All staff friendly and always asking if they could help with anything. No free breakfast but easy trade for cost savings, safe free parking on site and perfect location to quick access anywhere in New Brunswick. Thank you!! We will be back!

Property was clean, service was friendly, water pressure was. Pillows were hard, mattress was lumpy, and the floors had industrial carpet on top of concrete floors. It felt like being in a dormitory.

For the price, we took it. Was convenient to all highways we needed to get to. Really, the room was a converted dorm room. It served it's purpose for our night's stay. Could've used another pillow on bed. Shower pressure was very weak in 214 and bathroom was very small with limited counter space. We would recommend and would stay again.

Was very enjoyable staying on Rutgers campus and was close proximity to Highland Park and all other nearby towns Staff was friendly and the hotel was nice enough. Had a local college dorm feel which was perfect for my needs. Some things were a little out of date but the price was good!
