“Rude, Crude, and DISGUSTING”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

I just needed a place to crash for a night rather than driving 1 1/2 hours home and back to the area the next day for a meeting. My expectations was a clean place to watch TV for 1 night. Nothing special. I was HUGELY disappointed.

While making the reservation (the day prior to my travel), I accidently booked 2 nights- one of which was for the present day. The website wouldn't allow me to modify, so i immediatly called to cancel 1 of the nights. I was told that it would be handled when I arrived. When i expressed uncertainty around this, I was told that it would be fine. Unsure, I hung up the phone and let it go.

I arrived after work around 6p and was immediatly told that I would be charged for 2 nights since I didn't cancel the first one. $110 for this dump. While i was trying to explain the circumstances, a little girl came up next to me to ask the receptionist for toilet paper? She was jumping around while the receptionist was flipping through reservations, essentially ignoring her. I took it from that experience that people live at thos location. We netted out with the receptionist calling me a liar, and me losing my patience and just asking for my room key so i can begin my night of overpriced unwinding.

I got into the room and it was reasonably fine for what it was. I tried to turn on the TV though, and it had some sort of lock as though it was set up for payment? Not your ordinary hotel TV. The remote was broken, as were most of the lights in the room. The 1 light that certainly was working was the bathroom light revealing tons of rogue pubic hairs. Ick! I had brought my own toiletries as I had assumed that a low budget motel wouldn't have decent shampoos or conditioners, so i wasn't surprised there. The bed was reasonably comfortable, but thankfully my room had 2 beds, as the first bed had stains all over the sheets. No thanks.

I've been placed in the situation of having to stay in this area about once a week due to work demands. I have found another hotel, and I would rather drive 3 hours than stay here again.

The hotel boasted breakfast too, so the next morning, i figured for the amount i paid, i might as well get a cup of coffee and a quick bite. I walked into the 'lobby' to find a box of donuts. I couldn't even find cups for coffee, so i just left and stopped at dunkin donuts on my way to work. Lousy overall experience.

I'm not a huge complainer, but I'd rather sleep in my car...

“Just one word: NO”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

I know that super 8 motels are not the hilton, and you have low expectations just a bed and a shower and maybe wifi in these places - but a little bit of cleanliness and security would be nice. The room itself was old and musty smelling, burn marks on the carpet, bathroom rusty and toilet constantly running water (I told staff to fix it for their own sake). I just slept here, literally got in - collapsed - woke up showered/dressed and left the room. One side of the motel is for the "social cases" the motels words not mine "but paying guestes are on the other side"....what were they trying to tell me that they try to separate the dross?
For their so called breakfast - there was none...
I had a satnav in my car and worried when I couldn't get it out that the car would be broken into ...
This was supposed to be a convenient stay point between a need for immediate sleep from travelling transatlantic, somewhere to spend my next day shopping before going to a "real" hotel for work...but I won't be back. I have stayed in many super 8 sometimes with magnificant views (sarcastically said) of piles of rubbish, swamps , or roads - I never cared about this when you just need to sleep for the night..but this was the first time ever I thought I would be robbed or murdered in my bed! Do I have to tell you not to go there?

“Stay Away...Bed Bugs...Nasty..Pubic hairs on blankets!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2010

What a disaster! This place was terrible I left out of there...real quick! Had my whole family with kids. This place has bed bugs in just about every square inch. I got bit all over. Blankets were full of pubic hair, walls were stained....just a nasty disgrace. Not only would I say stay away because you will not like it...but you health and your family's health depends on it. Management needs to clean this place up, and throw away all the sheets. The rugs were a disgrace...dirty...dirty ...dirty!!! It is time to replace the rugs and furniture too. This place is infested! Disgusting!!!!!

“Total dive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010

Drove across the US and Canada, stopped here. Got lost finding the place. Make sure you have a GPS to find the interstate again. Total dive but we had a good sleep. The bathroom was clean & sheets were clean. The door didn't have a deadbolt. No alarm clock. Old touch tone phone. Internet worked great. There were people on the other side of the building partying outside. One guest approached us and asked since we were from Canada if we had any "Canadian Happy Time" aka marijuana. We stayed in a better $40/night motel along the drive. For a super 8 I didn't complain. Area was not well lit. Make sure you lock your car.

“Better then other reviews let on”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2010

person found this review helpful

I paid about as low a price as I have paid for a hotel room in the last ten years. For this I got a room that was large and clean although not at all fancy. I had stayed here about 15 years ago when it was an independent. I can tell they did put some money into it since then as it was better now then it was then. Slept very well.

My destination for this trip was actually New York City. The Raritan Train station is only about a ten minute walk away. So I ended up paying about 1/5th what I would for a similar room in the city.
