I give this location five stars it's renovated from a fire I never visited the pass location but this new location is perfect close to shopping close to the airport close to major cities and it's affordable the room I had was clean but it's nice and spacious the television is beautiful I had a great relaxing weekend and the front desk staff and the other staff members were very nice and very helpful and attentive I hope that this place could continue to be a beautiful place I know that there's always going to be people to try to mess that up that I hope that they can continue to have really nice business because I like that location and it's is design like a motel but you know it's a really relaxing place if you need to relax it gives you that ambience to relax. I want to highlight that there were no bugs there were no rodents there wasn't any foul smells in my room or around my room and it just really nice upgraded amenities the bathroom is spacious the room is spacious nice king size bed humongous TV smart TV I was able to watch the super bowl yay I had a great experience shout out to Expedia TAAP. From my visit I do recommend this location and just remember that you do need to have a deposit LOL you have to have a deposit and yeah I just think I think it was a really nice location shout out to the staff at Essence Express EWR

Great little place 15 min walk to the train. Friendly staff. The homeless, though, tend to harass visitors staying. The hotel itself is amazing, but the area is not safe as we were told by Elizabeth PD that we shouldn't have been in that area with our children.

I'm not going to lied. I was very impressed with how clean it was. They are so nice and friendly. I really recommend this place for a single person, couples and family with kids. Everything is renovated. They have a big TV on the wall in front of the bed. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash on the tub wall. The wifi was fast

I was so blessed that I arrived to Newark airport early and I called and they accepted to an early check in (just $30 more) the guy in the front desk I forgot his name but he was unbelievably great, understanding and helpful, and believe me the experience was amazing. In my opinion the place it's actually really safe, I didn't have any issue in and out of it, Room really clean, comfortable and it's absolutely good for the money. The only thing I could say is, if it's a family, be careful with the TV remote in any kid hands, it turns out there's XXX programing, but besides that I recommend this place 100% any time of the day. I'll definitely gonna choose this one again in the future.

When I arrived I thought I was going to have a bad experience as it looked like a motel 6 instead of a hotel. However, when I walked in my room I liked the eco friendly environment it provided such as the mini soaps and the soap dispensers. Lastly, the owner was very nice, friendly, inviting, and communicative throughout the whole stay that left a good impression.

My first impression of this motel was negative but everything changed once I arrived at the desk. People working here are professional,kind, generous, friendly and helpful which you can't find anywhere near Newark. Place is 10 minutes away from the airport but you can hear the highway from the motel. Prices are cheap and not skyrocketing high either for a night like $100. The room looked new and gorgeous, the sheets and bed was fresh and soft that I could not complain about. It's a basic motel but good thing was that it was clean. HD 4k Tvs were brand freaking new loaded with channels. I should not judge a book by the cover at all. I'm telling people about this place.
