I checked in late in the night. The staff was really helpful and answered queries pretty well. The room was clean and quiet for a good nights sleep. However, when I entered the room there was some weird smell in the room.
Positives: Friendly staff, clean rooms.
Negatives: Weird smell in room, Public transportation really difficult.

Positives: Jacuzzis in the rooms.
Negatives: The location is not good, very hard to find, did not get any help with my luggage, front desk is not friendly at all.

This hotel is very old and dirty. This hotel is in need of major renovations. The cleaning service did an horrible job. There was so much dust and it smelled horrible when we entered the room. I immediately stopped to buy some bathroom detergents to wash the toilet and tub and sink myself! Even though it was a non-smoking room it smelled like smoke. A complimentary breakfast was offered, but not enough tables and chairs to accommodate guests. The hotel says to offer a shuttle service to New York City, but this simply means that it drives you to another hotel (still in Jersey) and you must arrange the service with the hotel (at a very high cost)! We do not recommend this hotel to anyone (especially not families with children) and we will never go back!
Positives: To tell you the truth, nothing really unfortunately.
Negatives: Really old, smelly, dirty, lack of space for complimentary breakfast diners, no complimentary safe in room (had to pay extra).

Was not aware at time of arrival that each room only to hold 2 people, even with 2 queen beds per room. Given key to a room that already was occupied. Opened rented cot to find garbage stuffed in between mattress. Difficulty communicating with the staff that did not understand English. Very frustrating. Continental breakfast was nice. Location was convenient for visiting NY city, without staying the city.
Positives: Convenient location for travel to New York city.
Negatives: Non English understanding staff and dirtiness.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 19 Mar 2007 rated 8 out of 10.
Our room was very clean, heater, TV, etc. All worked properly. Location had a very steep hill to get to the room, which would be difficult to transit in snow or ice (which we had). We were happy with room. We did not find many restaurants near the motel.
Positives: Cleaner than I expected. Nice room for price.
Negatives: Location had steep hill to get to room. Difficult in snow and ice.

Negatives: Room service took to long to respond to customer¿s request.

Desk staff very nice and helpful. Room/bedding extremely clean. Good value for the price. Close to the north Bergen park & ride.
Positives: Very clean. Excellent heater.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 02 Nov 2006 rated 2 out of 10.
The hotel is located on a busy one-way road which is difficult to get to. I did not feel safe there and I did not feel comfortable leaving my car there. The description was very deceiving. The room was extremely small and the wallpaper was peeling off. The carpets had not been vacuumed. There were dead bugs in the bathtub. Would not stay there again and would not suggest it to another traveler.
Positives: Nothing.
Negatives: Everything.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 23 Aug 2006 rated 2 out of 10.
This was reasonably located and priced for a trip into NYC. it offered a minimal free breakfast. The driveway was so steep it would keep me from ever going there again. the manager's attitude was not professional.
Positives: Convenient to NYC.
Negatives: Arrived on a rainy day and could not drive up the steep driveway, manager laughed!
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 03 Jun 2006 rated 5 out of 10.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 28 Apr 2006 rated 3 out of 10.
Even though it said on your comments this hotel had just been remodeled our first room the shower did not work and walls looked liked that had just pulled up the wallpaper. Second room was better but on our last day the ceiling tiles on the bathroom were pulled up and found 2 roaches I will not stay on a Howard john sons again.
Positives: I just liked the location of where it was to Manhattan area.
Negatives: I didn't care for breakfast area it could have been better maintained.
