Beauty Rest Motel - Hotel in Edison - 520 US-1, USA

Positive: "" Negative: TV was not working

Motel easy to get to off of Rte 1. I like the parking area to register at the office. Would be really good for rain. Office staff was friendly, helpful, explaining to me the difference in the online price vs visiting price. The room was easy to get to. I felt really comfortable being able to see my car in front of the window. I liked the size of the room. The bed was comfortable, the right size for me. The towels smelled good, not smoky or burnt like being left in dryer for too long. The bathroom was clean, no complaints. Loved the flatscreen tv and the all in one dresser which also had electronics to hook up a dvd/music. Never seen that before,,, I like it. It was quiet, no disturbances. I had a very good nights sleep. The cleaning staff is friendly, smiling and speaking.. I liked that. The heating was good in the room, I liked the remote for the system.||As far as making this excellent,, a few things would need to be done. First, a microwave/fridge and coffee maker would be excellent perks to add to the room. Maybe because there is a Dunkin Donuts about 500ft away is the reason, not sure. Around the baseboards, there was accumulation of dust as well as around the dressers and other furniture. Cleaning those would make the carpet look excellent. On the ceiling, there were spider webs and a small spider in the corner by the door. I am not the squeamish type so it didn't affect me, but it would others. I feel a brighter light could be added to the sink area. Kinda difficult to shave. I think maybe the wrong wattage bulb was used. But overall, I liked the room and the facility. I would stay again without hesitation.

Convenient and quiet location, off highway 1. Free parking lot. Polite, friendly staff. Rooms have AC, big screen TV, and bathroom has 2 soaps and towels. No other amenities. Rooms and bathrooms/shower tubs are very small. Tubs and walls are stained, but that's not the staff's fault. Owners really should renovate and add more amenities. However, you can't beat the price, $60 per night or $40 for 3 hours ( if you're just passing through, or need a quick nap and a shower ).

Wonderful staff, quiet, calm quaint motel.

A very barely basic motel. Room was small but clean. No hangers in closet, no chair, and only one fluorescent wall lighting fixture for the whole room. Bathroom was clean, but no fancy soaps or shampoos. Sheets on the king bed were queen sized and could not be tucked under mattress. The bed was comfortable and for just a nights stay the place was almost adequate.||$53 price provides about what you'd expect. It was a cold night outside, and the under window heater worked well. We've stayed in worse, but the Beauty Rest Motel was on the edge. We felt safe and clean, but beyond that not much going for it.

So many things are wrong with this motel. The rooms have no tables to work on, no iron or ironing board, no refrigerator, no coffee maker and no microwave. The chair provided in my room was so dirty with a hole in it. I had to spread a cloth on the chair before sitting on it. The floor, made of wooden board felt sticky especially if you walk on it with bare feet. They barely furnished the rooms with towels and toiletries and the bath towels were more like hand towels. The front office exuded a very offensive odor that they tried to mask with a heavy deodorant that could almost make you puke.||In summary, it is a bad place to stay. To make matters worse, you will be charged the complete hotel fees before you even see the room you want to stay.

Cons:||-Staff was not helpful, I asked for a first floor room and was told none were open, even though there was few cars in the lot.||-Phone was cheap, no easy indicated way to call front desk to ask for Wifi key. Then they let it ring forever so I had to go down and ask.||-Fan/AC unit had bad smell and I could not use it as a result. Will not stay again.||||Pros:||-Well located||-Price was good||||I stayed here for a new job until I could find a new place to live. After spending a week at a hotel off of I-287, I chose Beauty Rest since it is closer to my new job. What a MISTAKE. I should have stayed at the first place.

I was calling around checking for the lowest rates and the front desk person was very nice and friendly and answered all of my questions. They had plenty of parking for a hotel that close to New York. When I went to my room, it was very clean and in good condition. It appeared to have been recently redone. For a basic hotel, you won't beat this one for the price or quality.
