Hi Richard:I am unable to locate your reservation with the name provided. But this being said we are a non-smoking facility. If this indeed was the case the guest would have been fined for violating the hotels smoking policy. Safe travels and have a great week.

It does not live up to the standard of the Holiday Inn Express brand. I honestly can say that I should get a refund!! When traveling i always look to Holiday Inn Express for my traveling needs for its comfort, cleanliness and quick breakfast. This particular site had none of those qualities. It should either give up the name or close to remodel...

The bathroom was not clean. The vanity had cup rings and splatter that came off when I rubbed it with toilet paper so you know it wasn't cleaned. The floor had crumbs and dust and stuff too. The bed was comfy though. It was a loud location so if you're sensitive to a lot of noise while you sleep, stay somewhere else. Overall I probably would not stay here again.

My hotel room was less than spic and span. The shower ceiling had paper towels stuck in it to protect from….? There was left over food in the fridge. There was some kind of yellow stain on then bathroom wall…I know this isn’t a ritzy hotel, but I paid a pretty penny and would not stay here again.

Dirty Room Bad Service
I reserved two rooms for our group. When we arrived, only one room was ready, which we understood, but the desk couldn't advise when the 2nd room would be ready. My son periodically contacted the desk and each time got the same answer. They finally got their room to see crumbs in the bed sheets and ants in the room. The staff cleaned it but the impression was made. Next morning in our bathroom, we could hear a radio cast through the air vent. It was creepy. It used to be a nice enough place, but no more. Would not recommend it

No frills and overpriced
This venue is a very old hotel. I chose it because of its proximity to EWR airport. The rooms are no-frills and frankly overpriced. When you walk into the lobby you are greeted by cigarette smoke coming from the bar...really?
