This has been my pick of hotels since I found it. I always make sure to snag it, when traveling to NYC. It may be away from the city, but thanks to all the mass transit options, it is always a great option. They take care of all my needs, make sure I have a great stay and honestly give me a place to get some sleep after a long day. The shuttle is always on time, based on their schedules the hot breakfast buffet was also really really good. The people were friendly in the serving area as well. I think the people that take issue with this hotel, just don’t read what they are buying. Make sure how many people the breakfast includes, saw many complaining when they learned only 2 adults were paid for when booking, make sure you know where Newark is, and it isn’t in Manhattan. Be patient, and kind. If you are nice to people, it goes a long way. I can’t wait for my upcoming stays, which they verified yesterday. I love them so much, I have a 6 night stay coming up very soon. So if you are looking for an affordable option, with great staff, then this is a winner.
