Good overall

Overall hotel is good, really clean. The staff is really helpful and hotel policies are really good, flexible. For example I paid for 4 nights when we got there but had to leave early and only used two nights and they reimbursed the difference. Is a good hotel for a short stay. They do not have cribs for babys, is the only complaint i have from my stay.

Nowhere near Rutgers! Hotel name is very misleading. University is 10 minute drive and not walkable. There aren’t any sidewalks in this dirty neighborhood either. Breakfast was very low quality. Everything inside the room was functional. Bed was actually good.

There was a little hole in the wall about the size of a quarter, which didn’t alarm us until in the morning a crap ton of what seemed to be flying ants decided to come out and to surround the the hole and some gradually flew around and landed on the bedding and stuff. Just very strange and the room was extremely hot.
