Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
I don’t like that the gym is not available. I believe this is why the rates are usually higher at this location than the other ESA hotels. Therefore the rates should match other lower rates because the gym amenities are not being utilized with accommodations as advertised.

A nice affordable option. The room was clean and very nice. Breakfast was only coffee and some instant oatmeal and the gym was closed for construction. Especially for a Rutgers visit, a very respectable option.

Free breakfast offering little misleading, more like snacks; eg., instant oatmeal, when available. However, coffee was excellent, & hot chocolate & tea were also provided. All in all, better than many places that don't offer anything. Also, provisions of toaster, coffee maker, dishware, etc. by staff was excellent.

I liked that it was quiet and conveniently located. I didn't like that it is a non smoking hotel choice but other guest were secretly smoking. The smell of toxic cigarettes' smell from other guest permeated into my room therefore, making me nauseous which made me sick and unable to sleep. I was forced to sleep with an w open window all night to have fresh air to breathe. Also, the door handle from inside my hotel room fell off.

New experience
I travel from the south to NJ at least once a year, and have certain hotels I frequent. I have never stay at an extended stay before, but this was a great place to start. Conveniently located close to shopping and dining, but away from all the noise. Everything you need is there: cooktop, nice size refrigerator with freezer, pots and pans, silverware, dishes. If you are not inclined to make your own meals, a 5 minute drive will get you an array of restaurants. The front desk was very nice from the moment we arrived. Courteous and responsive. All this and a great price too. I definitely recommend.

Ok but won’t go back
It’s an older facility. Our first room smelled terrible but the staff was responsive and moved us to a different room. The beds are not very comfortable and the room just looked worn. It was a quick trip and we just needed a place to sleep. It was fine but we would not go back.

My non-smoking room and all common areas of hotel smelled of smoke. The wood floors in my room were sticky. This is a long term stay place with a refrigerator. Stove and microwave but absolutely no cups, spoons, plates or any kind of items you would expect. I would not recommend this place unless you have no other options.
