The hotel is clean, the staff were polite, and the facilities are basic but adequate. Getting there is an undertaking. The Orbitz listing does not mention a shuttle. However, the main hotel website says there is a shuttle. The shuttle stop at Newark airport says there is a shuttle. When I called from the shuttle stop the gentleman at the desk told me they do not have a shuttle. The location is in an isolated industrial area with no public transport access (do not believe Google Maps - it's wrong). If you don't have a car, budget extra for Uber or Lyft.

I would rate this a 0 if I could. Smelled like cigarette smoke and weed. Dirty lobby, holes in the walls. Bedding was sheet and very old blanket. Broken glass in bathroom, sticky bathroom floor, toenail in the bed, old blood on sheets. Drawers falling out of dresser. We went back to the front desk and asked for our money back and then left. Front desk staff was friendly. That was the only positive.

The hotel is a convenient distance from the airport. But it’s old and hasn’t her. Updated. There’s also something loud next to it. Beds are full of springs. But there is noon check-out.

Booked for 1 night after a show so we didn’t have to drive home so late. The planes flying over rattled the hotel and made it sound like they were landing on the roof. Our bath towel had a wad of someone’s hair still attached. The AC worked well enough, but the bed was springy and uncomfortable. Would not stay here again. Cheap is not better in Newark.
