This hotel used to be our tried and true standby when traveling to Washington, D.C. for Thanksgiving. However, it has deteriorated over the years with little renovation. Even the free continental breakfast was rather skimpy this year. In addition, having used a discount from AARP, we were initially assigned a remote room where the chain lock had been removed from the door and the bolt lock did not work. In addition, the carpets were ripped and smelled of cigarette smoke despite having booked a nonsmoking room. In defense of the desk clerk, he did immediately reassign us to a less remote and better-maintained room when we requested it. However, I would still not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I needed a cheap room when I was in Newark looking for an apartment. This was conveniently pretty close to UD's campus and, other than just looking a bit old and run down, my room was clean and reasonably comfortable.The free breakfast is really good and there's wifi. I would say it definitely met my expectations for the price and there were no unpleasant surprises.

It was dark, and we needed a place to stay. Lucky for us we found the HJ! Front desk could not have been nicer. Room was close to the door. Wonderful breakfast the next morning.

Terrible, disgusting, not too much else to say. Sleepaway bed had blood stains and mold on mattress, discovered stray cat sleeping in our room upon check-in. Everythign was so disgusting!
