For the price, we took it. Was convenient to all highways we needed to get to. Really, the room was a converted dorm room. It served it's purpose for our night's stay. Could've used another pillow on bed. Shower pressure was very weak in 214 and bathroom was very small with limited counter space. We would recommend and would stay again.

Was very enjoyable staying on Rutgers campus and was close proximity to Highland Park and all other nearby towns Staff was friendly and the hotel was nice enough. Had a local college dorm feel which was perfect for my needs. Some things were a little out of date but the price was good!

Air Condition is the problem. Rutgers will not start AC until first week or mid-May. Poor staff doesn’t have any access to it. It was above 80 degrees in the room and spent whole night without AC. Very very small room. The staff was very cooperative, friendly and polite.

Loved the location and ease of parking. A great option if you want to be in the area and don’t intend on spending a great deal of time on property. We just needed a clean, safe and convenient location and this checked all the boxes. The students that work there are kind and professional.
