Staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating! if you are just passing through this will do the job - wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Location was nearby to the family event we were attending, nothing in walking distance unless you are visiting a student at Rutgers

Cons:

There was construction RIGHT outside our window starting at 0700 or earlier. Would have been nice to have a heads up about that - it certainly would’ve swayed our decision. The rooms are very dated and grungy however it did the job for a short one night stay.
