Pros:

Great hotel. Great host and was able to get checkin a bit early. So glad hotel has a gym. Great gym equipment in great shape, room cool, tv, towels and water. Hooters right next door is a bonus.

Pros:

My stay was just for a single night on a business trip. The hotel had a great location and had easy access to the turnpike. The person at the desk was helpful was friendly - something you don't always get with night staff at a hotel. The room was clean. The price was right, and the location is great, and I would stay here again.

Pros:

Property was too close to the NJT which created great difficulty, for me, to overcome the noise of constant truck yraffic. Surprisingly, my wife had little or no problem with its disturbance. Greatly appointed place, though. Staff was very accommodating.

Pros:

Great location quick to get to the NJ Turnpike and short trip to Mancini’s Pizza. Great room, quiet, and loved having a nightlight in the bathroom. My only suggestion is to have an extra grab bar on the wall in the shower.

Pros:

Very comfortable bed and pillows. Clean. Good breakfast including eggs, sausage, breads, oatmeal and toppings, cereals and fruit. The coffee wasn’t the best - more like a drizzle of dark stuff followed by hot water. Lighting isn’t bright enough in the bathroom or bedroom. It is very difficult to see and get into the parking lot. You’re entering literally off the highway, and there’s construction in front of the building. It’s hard to see the driveway entrance.
