"The place was as described. A few things to know. The refrigerator & freezer doesn’t work…not a big deal for us, but we planned to keep water in it. We had two towels on each bed as shown in the pictures, one dish cloth for the kitchen, no hand towels for the bathrooms. We bought paper towels to use in the bathrooms. Not sure if there were pots/pans or utensils to cook with or if the other appliances worked. When we arrived the outside door was propped open with a brick & propped open each night when we came in. We removed it but some days it would be propped open the next morning when we headed out. This was a little unsettling as the area is kind of sketchy & busy. The beds were good. It would be nice to have a lamp and bedside table to see when you go to get into bed. If you have trouble with stairs, these stairs are pretty steep. The walk to the subway is an easy & short walk. Be sure to read the full description - if you’re looking for upscale, this is definitely not the place but if you just want a place to sleep close to the subway, this might be for you."

"Host was very communicative and kind. Extremely accommodating to help extend my stay and offered alternative options. Great stay for anyone needing to stay local or easy commute to the city"

GG Rest Inn

8/10 Good

"I read reviews, so had low expectations. Given that, this place was fine for my needs. Room was clean, no bugs. Decent guy running the place. Would have appreciated a towel, but was 3 am by time I realized there was none, so didn't ask. TV remote same; couldn't find a switch on the box. Though room was clean enough, cleaner smell was heavy; window didn't open, so I had to open door for a good while to circulate air. Road noise is a lot as folks said, but that doesn't bother me. Address, Maple but actual entrance facing US1, plus changing names of motel, can be confusing for rideshare drivers, so be ready to clarify location; my first got close then canceled. There are motels closer to EWR, but this one was cheaper; however, for future reference, it might be possible to walk from EWR to Motel 6. Bus here to Rest Inn was tricky, but just $3 +transfer or mile walk, and Uber from EWR wanted $70."

Divine Villa and Resort - 32 Evergreen

10/10 Excellent

"All I needed was a room with a lock, and a bed to sleep on. I got that. Bear in mind that there is no staff on site, and the facilities like bathroom and kitchen are shared amenities. The day you arrive you receive the codes needed to enter the building and to access your room. I arrived very late at night and left first thing in the morning. I genuinely do not know whether or not there were any other guests in the building. I had no trouble accessing the bathroom, but you should bear in mind that others may be using it. You should plan your schedule with buffer time for showering etc in case any other guests may be using it when you need it."
