Convenient stay for EWR.
Pros:

I stayed here specifically for ease of access to airport. I had an early morning flight and live 2 hours from EWR so I stayed here the night before my flight.

Cons:

Hotel was a bit dated and could use some touch ups. I only stayed a few hours so didn't have a chance to really explore.

Çok güzeldi
Pros:

Odalar genişti ve klima çok iyi çalışıyordu. Ekim sonunda gitmemize rağmen odalar hemen ısındı. Resepsiyonun orada 7/24 çay, kahve ev sıcak su ücretsiz olarak sunuldu. Kahvaltı Amerika kahvaltılarına göre güzel ve lezzetliydi.
