Motel 6 Elizabeth, NJ - Newark Liberty Intl Airport - Motel in Elizabeth - 819 Spring St, USA

Look, this is a motel 6. I know not to expect luxury or frills. Clean and basic comfort is all I want. I got neither. When I checked in after midnight, the clerk was rolling a joint. I'm pretty sure it wasn't his first one of the evening. (roll your joints on your break like reasonable weed users) There was an air conditioner, but the knobs and buttons had been torn off. It was hot in there. The windows looked like they should open, but wouldn't. The wifi didn't work. There were multiple gaps in the flooring. The positives: it was reasonably priced and near the airport

I've stayed in sketchy/gross places - I travel quite a bit. It's expected. But this place???? Unless you like the thrill of staying in the equivalent of something you'd see outta Breaking Bad? Just don't. ||I don't even know where to begin.... that the room REEKED like three people each smoked a pack of cigarettes before I arrived? That the sink was clogged and had cigarettes and ashes in it when I arrived? That there were burn marks in the bedspread from - you guessed it - cigarettes? That it was absolutely disgusting, dirty, gross, unsafe? A joke of a property. Do NOT believe the hotelmotel photos...... look at the reviews. ||And why did I stay here, you might ask? Bc the Hilton I had booked was actually overbooked, and they bumped me bc I was flying (from an earlier canceled flight) and they couldn't contact me. There were NO ROOMS at ANY DECENT places. When I walked into "check in" at this abysmal joke of a property and saw the bullet-proof glass, I took it in stride. When I walked into the room of horrors, though? I put a towel down on top of the bed and "slept" (with one eye open) fully clothed. ||Do yourself a favor: stay anywhere else.

This place is a joke. The price I paid of 707$ for 5 nights wasn't even worth it. I asked for a refund after the first night because of how management was after our first night there. Management was rude and disrespectful to guests. My wife and I went to the lobby to get some ice and the dude at the counter was on his phone talking, complaining about a man who was trying to pay for his room, telling the gentleman that "he was breaking the machine". Asked for a refund and was told it was processed, however I still haven't received it. Found roaches crawling around and the doors are either busted or the locks are broken. The A/C works partially. The toilet constantly runs. The first room we had the A/C didn't work and we had it set to 61, the 2nd room the lock was busted off the main door and the toilet was clogged and when asked if we could get a plunger, the guy behind the counter got rude, even with my brother, who don't even stay in the hotel. I would not even recommend this place to even the sleepiest person.

The room was rough, open hole in wall above bedside table with wires showing in the wall. 3 of 4 outlets do not work. One pillow is made of feathers - not comfortable and an allergy trigger. There is a musty smell in the room, making my throat scratchy. The picture on the TV is awful, every channel is snowy. The TV remote has no back, and the batteries are taped in. The bathroom sink is cracked, and the shower overflows onto the floor. The shower head is not secured to the wall, it moves in the wall. The water control is in a hole in the wall, and after using the shower, it can not be turned all the way off. The room/sheets were clean, and the air conditioner worked well.

I decided to stay in this motel since everything else was booked up and I have to say this is my worst experience traveling ever. When I checked in I was given a room, and when I went to open the room I noticed the door was already open and reeked of smoke. As a solo female I felt extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. The second room was unclean from hair on the towels, to complete grime in the bathtub. As I pulled down the bed covers I noticed makeup on the pillow case as well as crawling visible bed bugs. I usually do not write reviews but had the most unsanitary experience imaginable. Given it was a weekend when many flights were cancelled the price was $180. This place truly is like something out of a horror movie. I have no idea how it is still operating.

This place was infested with cockroaches and some got into our luggage and went home with us. We had a 7 hour layover and wanted something cheap to crash before our connecting flight. First of all, it wasn’t even cheap. It was almost $150 because it was a Friday night over a long weekend. The ride here was longer than I expected, you have to go all the way around the airport to get here which meant an expensive Uber ride. Then the actually room was horrendous. Not clean, infested with cockroaches, noisy, just terrible. It was like a nightmare hotel in a movie or something. I have no idea how they are still allowed to be in business. Never again…

Free shuttle. Friendly service. Rooms are old but functional. I was stranded at 0030 am at the airport and they took care of me. Sent the shuttle and gave me an hour late checkout. Held my luggage storage and a ride back to airport later. Made a bad situation not so bad.

The only reason I pick this hotel is because everywhere else got booked due to flight reschedule and I need to catch a flight in the early morning. Knowing the price and the quality of the room is a ripped out. Room not cleaned, smell of pee and smokes. Again the near by legit 3 star chain hotels only cost $10 more, if there are rooms there available, no one will stay here. So guys, if you are like me, no choice. Be prepared mentally. The 2 stars, 1 for the location and 1 for the shuttle bus.
