Pros:

The photos in the Expedia listing are not representative of the room you will have. There was multiple cockroaches over the course of our stay and neither the floor was swept or the walls cleaned of food stains? All and all I was worried for my health in a way that I’ve never had camping. Spend the extra 50 a night for a real hotel

Pros:

Checked in at 3pm and allocated a room that when I got to it hadn’t been cleaned. Allocated another room which could have done with a proper deep clean throughout. The premises is generally dilapidated and needs deep cleaned, painted and carpets renewed just for a start. The bed was fairly comfy but only had one sheet covering the mattress and no matress protector. One positive was the WiFi and single USB point. At $270 for two nights it’s very expensive for what it is

Pros:

The hotel is okay, just for sleeping. It's a good price if you're going to NY and are looking to avoid those High prices. When we got to the room the bed sheets were full of hairs, long hairs, short hairs, hair everywhere. We had to buy new sheets and put them. The closet door was broken and the broken one was left in the room without fixing. One of the days we got there and there were suspicious people inside near the lobby, they looked homeless. And the areas around the hotel smell really bad. Good place just needs cleaning, clean the room and beds, please. A good thing, the room was really quiet, there was no noise even though there was an event in the street. For that I'm grateful.

Cheap hotel was worth the stay.
Pros:

For what I paid, overall it was worth stating here. The bed was huge and comfy. The room was clean. The hotel did smell of cigarette smoke in the hallways, but not my room. Everyone on the front desk were very friendly and always helpful. This is a simple hotel so if you’re after luxury, this is not for you.
My room had a small fridge which did come in handy.

Pros:

Better then sleeping in the truck, but common, entrance to this place was like a back of a building storage room entrance, everything old, dirty and outdated. Bed lookeded clean but sheets didn’t smell fresh. Wouldn't recommend unless this is the last hotel option you have. And even then consider something else.

Pros:

Stayed one night at Haiban Inn and had a good experience overall. The location is super convenient—just a short walk to the Journal Square PATH station, and surrounded by great Indian restaurants.

The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a quick overnight stay—microwave, mini fridge, and decent Wi-Fi. Check-in was smooth and the staff was friendly and helpful.

There’s no private parking, but I was able to get a street parking, which made overnight parking easy and affordable—no issues finding a spot nearby especially late night.

It’s not fancy, but for the price and location, it’s a solid choice. I’d definitely consider staying here again for a short trip or transit stop.
