As like most of the other reviewer's, the staff was nice and helpful, the room on the other hand, not the cleanest room, must have previously been a smoking room, full of bugs, and very hot. I'd suggest seeking comfort elsewhere if you are planning on staying in a New Jersey hotel for more than a night. Could use more shower towels, microwave and ice machine. The wifi is pretty quick and the room had cable TV so that was a plus

I needed a place to crash for the night because I was working 12 hour shifts and going home was too far especially for someone very tired. Nothing modern about this place. Your basically in the woods somewhere even though 202 is right there. The check in office reminds one of those B rated movies about a motel in the middle of nowhere. The rooms smell like strong tobacco. No hot water, but at least the bed was good enough to sleep on even though it felt as flat as you could get. The TV was old school but it worked just fine. Overall if you just want a bed to sleep in for the night regardless of most amenities, plus a strong smell of tobacco, then this your place. Otherwise move on to the next one.

Booked my room through orbitz. Was looking for an inexpensive motel to stay at for 1 night as I was going to a bday party in the area. I read the reviews on this place and wasn't expecting very good things. However, Upon entering the room I found it to be pleasantly clean and roomy. No odor at all like the previous review mentioned it had. The place was just fine for the economy price of $49 that I paid. The room even had 2 sinks and a table with a couple chairs inside. The only problem I encountered was I couldn't change the tv channel! I tried with both the remote and manually on the tv and it wouldn't change. At least it was stuck on the history channel which wasn't all that bad. The beds were comfortable with nice blankets. Overall I thought the room was just fine and I would stay again.

My friend and I booked a room here for a night because it was cheap...well, you get what you pay for. We pulled into the parking lot and noticed that there were damaged blinds in a couple of the rooms in the front building, there were weeds growing up through the parking lot and around the sign...it looked like a pretty crappy place, but we gave it a shot. Checked in (the office was part of someone's house with thick bulletproof glass separating you from the clerk) and the owner directed me to one of the rooms in the rear building. My friend was terrified and said we should just camp in the car. We passed a bunch of broken down junk vehicles on the way to the rear building. We climbed rusted, rickety stairs to get to the second level and noticed that the "flooring" of the second level walkway was tar paper. Got to our room and when we walked in...the smell was horrific. It was a mixture of stale cigarettes, grandma and 1974. We opened the windows to try to air the place out, but one of the windows was missing a screen. The air conditioning unit was a 1960s era model. We were shocked that it even worked. The draperies were old, ugly and musty. The carpet and bedding, more of the same. The bathroom had a new sink and vanity which was oddly out of place. The towels were an assortment like you might find at your grandma's house...not the typical white towels, but random colors and patterns, and they were all old and threadbare.
We went to the store and bought a bottle of Febreze, scented candles as well as towels and washcloths. Our camping gear was in my car so decided to sleep in our sleeping bags on the beds. I wore flip flops to shower.
Even after spraying everything in the room with Febreze multiple times and burning scented candles until we went to sleep, the smell was still there. The icing on the cake was leaving in the morning and seeing an empty box of condoms on the ground next to my car.
I like to give small family owned places a chance...I've stayed at many independent motels that are nice and clean. I'm not expecting egyptian cotton bedding, microwaves, marble sinks and room service, but I do expect a place with usable towels, functioning windows and one that doesn't smell like it's been closed since the 70s. We both woke up with scratchy throats and irritated eyes. In all fairness, the Febreze could be partly to blame for that, but only partly.
When we're back down in NJ next year, we will be paying the extra money and staying somewhere else.
