Don't let the approaching drive fool you, the property is very nice, clean and welcoming. Driving South on I-9 from Newark airport toward this hotel is very depressing and I had doubts because everything is so sketchy, but once I got past all that, the hotel is actually in a nice area that's newly developed and the property seems brand new. Easy parking and big clean lobby and the front desk checked me in quickly, easily and in a friendly manner. TV in the room has YouTube streaming built in which is great and usb plugs all around. Can easily walk to a nice sit down restaurant or a chain like Wingstop, Panda Express and Burger King. The fitness center is small but had enough stuff to get a little workout and the whole place felt quiet and safe. IHG is always a good value for me while traveling and this was another good one.
