I didn't even want to post a review but reading the others set me off! Booking this room saved my family's butts. Our flight was cancelled so it was either this, spend over $200 for another, or stay at Newport Airport for 15 hours and sleep in a chair. Booked a taxi at the airport, and front desk got us a ride at check-out. Hotel is being renovated so there were remnants of construction in the hallways. WHO gives a crap! The beds were clean, comfortable, the bathroom was new with attractive tile and marble vanity. shower was fine! It is what it is and not perfect! But, unless you're vacationing to East Orange New Jersey, apparently like the "prissy" mother/daughter reviewers were, this hotel is very economical and perfect for a one or two night stay. If you need a simple room quickly and cheaply, this is the place. Perfect for business travelers and those stuck in a long layover. Yes, there is bullet proof glass on the front desk with a turnstile opening to give and retrieve stuff. So what? This is the only alternative to having to put the garage style security doors on, like all of the other businesses in New York and New Jersey use. The other reviewers need to get out of their holes and get out more. If anything, the glass keeps would-be thieves from trying to rob the place. So, it's like a "repellent and you should appreciate that fact that it's the least likely to be robbed because of that! Don't let the other reviews stop you from staying. The staff and guests are great!
