I have been an occupant of this motel on and off for many years. I find the accommodations soul soothing, relaxing, clean and very quiet. The manager Roger and his beautiful wife have been running this motel for the last few years and have made significant improvements to the property and continue to bring forward appreciable changes. I love this place! Come one, come all! Check out NJ’s best kept secret.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I already has been recommending this hotel to people. This is truly a gem and great for staying while going to six flags. The rooms are clean TV has great channels Water is real hot A/C is ice cold But most importantly STAFF. The staff here are such great people. We didnt want to leave when vacation was over. They are so helpful, honest, and kind. Loved talking with the woman in the office she has such a beautiful heart. My 8 year old loved the staff here as much as we did. They were so nice to our child and it meant so much to us. The cleaning staff here are very kind people as well and very nice and honest people. It felt so warming being here. I can't wait to come back! All around staff here are phenomenal Thank you so much for making this such a beautiful experience.

This hotel honestly felt like a 4-star experience at a 2-star price. Loved the decor — modern, simple, and very clean. The lobby smelled amazing, and the receptionist greeted us with fresh lemon water. Shower pressure was great (that’s a big deal for me), and I appreciated the eco-friendly toiletries. I wish the walls were a bit thicker because we could hear the guy in the next room snoring, but otherwise everything was super comfortable. Will recommend it to friends traveling through this area.

Honestly, you can’t get better than this especially for the price. The rooms are super clean. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable. Trisha the manage r makes sure all my needs are met. I went to the lobby at 2 in the morning and Josh was more than friendly and accommodating. I was there during snow storm and Ben cleaned my spot and car cause my car isn’t good in the snow. They were more than welcoming. & Breakfast in the morning was great! A crossed the board give it a try!

One night stay, 2 people. While the rooms weren't modern-chic, there were a number of nice surprises including a decent size fridge and a microwave (& t.v.) in the room. The sheets looked clean. Beds were firm. 2 soaps in the bathroom and wrapped cups in the main room. We didn't turn on the heat nor the A/C. Only detriments were during check in and in the a.m.: Maybe it was due to the long day, but at first, I didn't understand the difference in expected cost vs the bill I was asked to sign. (It was the refundable deposit). The guy checking me in started getting loud. Tired, I asked him to not raise his voice as I had a headache and to please just explain it to me. He did both, I signed. The situation was also helped by the [seemingly nice and] knowledgeable woman who was with him as she helped smooth things over. In the a m., I was asked by the cleaning crew when I was leaving. Twice. When I told them I'd be leaving as soon as I secured my belongings, they waited in the next room over, sitting and watching me. The man behind the a.m. counter was fine. My conclusion! Customer service is either hit or miss. Especially for the price and nothing being deal-breaker bad, I'd stay here again

Sooo i'm staying here tonight and we slept here last night aswell. Apparently you get a mini fridge and microwave. But we only have a mini fridge, gonna go down and ask about the microwave i'm sure if they have an extra that they'd let us use it until we leave. The people who work here are super nice. When i got here last night i noticed a tiny bug scurry under the fridge and i couldn't find where it went. I think it had come in from outside when they were cleaning my room, i don't think it was a roach or anything to worry about. The room is very clean and we got a smoking room which only smelled a tiny bit like cigarettes and cleaning supplies. Really not bad. I definitely expected worse but i'm pleased to say that we're enjoying our stay. Also for 2 nights we only paid $130 and most hotels around here are just that for only 1 night, i'd say its a steal if you ask me. I'll probably have more info when i leave here tomorrow!
