Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
There was a huge gap under the door allowing the cold air to come in. The towlels are absolutely disgusting and they have a sign indicating that they will only provide you with the two towels already in the room. The bedding was filthy and looked like it wasn’t washed after the last guest. The water pressure was almost non existent. For the cost, you’d expect basic accommodations. Do not stay here. You can get a cleaner room somewhere else for the same amount of money.

We were given an upgrade when we checked in which was appreciated. The front desk was very kind and helpful giving information. The room was clean and smelled very clean. This is a motor lodge and very close to the highway. As such, I suggest bringing earplugs for the noise if that bothers you. The bed was comfortable. This is a no frills motel, so don't expect perfection. For the price, it was worth the one night stay.

Great bang for your buck

Excellent value. Inexpensive without compromising cleanliness. Close to South Amboy Station. Pillows needed updating and only 2 provided. Walls are a little thin, but it wasn’t too loud. Definitely recommend this place if you’re on a budget.
