Bom custo benefício, porém cama desconfortável!!!
Pros:

Localização e custo benefício

Cons:

A hospedagem possui excelente localização, com fácil acesso ao ponto de ônibus que vão para nova York, e oferece um ótimo custo-benefício. O atendimento foi ótimo e as instalações atenderam às expectativas. Como sugestão de melhoria, recomendo a substituição da cama, que se mostrou bastante desconfortável.

Stay away. Even fora cheap alternative, it’s not worth it. Also if you enjoy co habitating with degenerates you’re in
Pros:

False advertising. The property described is s not the property I booked. They sent me to a property 1/4 mile away with no parking available in a busy town. It’s more like a hostel with a private space. Be prepared to share a bathroom with 12 other rooms. Be prepared for no cable TV. Be prepared to stare at a toilet while you’re sitting at the refrigerator which is also your end table. If I knew I was booking the room I got not the switch and bait tactic they used, I would have had the choice to go somewhere else. They are not a legitimate property.

Cons:

See above.

My stay at the shefah
Pros:

İt is in the entrance of union city so its like 10 minutes from port authority bus Station and almost every bus goes there so it was incredibly easy to commute to the hotel. Also price is great as well.

Cons:

Room i stayed in has an ac unit but they didn't cover the sides properly so room was little cold and noise from street was kinda uncomfortable because of the improper coverage of the wall. İ stayed at the left room from the entrance. Also pictures from the hotel didn't exactly match either.

Buena relación precio-calidad
Pros:

Sinceramente yo iba con las expectativas muy bajas por el valor del lugar, pero quedé gratamente sorprendida. Nos tocó la habitación 10 del segundo piso. La habitación no era grande pero era suficiente, valoré mucho el frigobar, el aire acondicionado, y el espejo, la cama era bastante cómoda. No hay servicio a la habitación, pero yo lo prefiero así, no me gusta que nadie entre durante mi alojamiento. La ubicación es muy buena, a media cuadra pasan muchos buses que te dejan en un gran terminal de buses, ahí mismo está el metro, como referencia, es muy muy cerca de Times Square, la verdad es que desde ahí te puedes mover fácilmente a todos lados. OJO! La tarjeta OMNY (con la que pagas el bus y metro en NY) no te sirve para llegar al hotel, debes comprar otra tarjeta para llegar a Nueva Jersey (Fare-Pay NJ Transit), la compras en la mismo terminar de buses, no hay pierde. Nos tocó baño compartido, era cómodo y amplio, aunque sí es fácil que se ensucie, mucha gente no tiene modales, pero el personal lo limpiaba a diario. Hay una pequeña cocina que los huéspedes también pueden usar, cuenta con lavaplatos, microondas y hervidor. No puedes cocinar ahí, pero te podría sacar de algún apuro. El personal fue siempre amable, valoro mucho eso también. Creo que los beneficios que obtienes por el valor que se paga valen totalmente la pena, personalmente prefiero ahorrar algo de dinero en alojamiento e invertir más en atracciones, tours, comida y diversión, por que este hotel me pareció una buena elección.

Cons:

Me hubiese gustado que me enviaran las instrucciones para entrar antes de nuestra hora de check in, para que al llegar supiéramos qué hacer, en lugar de eso, entramos al hotel confundidos a ver si encontrábamos a alguien que nos ayudara. De todas formas encontramos a la administradora quien rápidamente nos envío la información. Un punto muy importante a considerar es que las habitaciones cuentan con nulo aislamiento del ruido, hasta el mínimo paso se escucha. Afortunadamente con mi novio sentimos más ruido el fin de semana, parece que suele ir más gente, pero durante la semana no escuchamos prácticamente nada, creo que nos tocó estar relativamente solos, pero si hay más gente alojándose definitivamente los escucharás. El internet es algo inestable, se cae la señal a ratos, pero nada grave. El lugar se siente algo viejo, parece más hostal que un hotel, pero está bien.
