Communal bathroom door doesn’t close (got walked in on while using toilet), faucet handle fell off, mildew in air conditioner, ants crawling on me in bed, tv didn’t work, wasn’t offered a key to bedroom door and guy couldn’t find one for 10 minutes. Kept trying random keys in his pocket. Called “hotel” to complain and was told to call Expedia because hotel couldn’t do anything. Expedia said to call hotel because they couldn’t do anything.

Bonjour, J'ai passé une très mauvaise nuit dans le Motel Casa. En effet les salles de bains étaient insalubres (peinture défaillante et moisissures m'ayant donné des rougeurs sur le corps), et le prix annoncé sur place était de 100$ contre les 237$ que j'ai dû payer sur Expedia. J'étais censé être remboursé mais je n'ai plus de nouvelles de l'hôtel depuis. M'étant retrouvé dans une zone où je me sentais très peu en sécurité et n'ayant pas d'autres endroit où dormir je suis resté mais l'endroit n'est définitivement pas recommandé. C'est pourquoi je suis parti le lendemain dans un hôtel sur Manhattan. Je souhaiterai donc être remboursé pour ce séjour.

Wouldn’t Recommend

Booked this stay through hotels.com after our flight was cancelled out of NJ. Other hotels in the area were over $350 and we were in a jam. Based on the hotels.com advertisement, we thought this was a hotel, but it was much more like a hostel. Individual rooms with common dining and shower spaces. When we found the place, the front door was wide open (I think otherwise I would have been hard to tell it wasn’t someone’s home). We weren’t given a key for our room, there were big bugs in the room, and a used condom was in the bedroom trashcan with no liner. When we left in the morning, the front door was wide open again- not sure if it stayed that way all night, but it felt a little unsafe. The staff was good, but we definitely wouldn’t choose to stay here again. I wish the advertisement was more clear on the reality of the room. We want others to know what they are signing up for :(

While the community bath was an experience, ( It is a guest house after all) The rest was great. The rooms were as advertised, clean and comfortable. If you need an inexpensive place to stay for a few nights in Newark or a place to crash for your red-eye this is an excellent choice.
