Motel 6 Elizabeth, NJ - Newark Liberty Intl Airport
What people are saying
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.
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.
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.
Got dropped off to the airport less than 5mins when we first arrived to leave for our trip. Perfect. But trying to get back to our car! HORRIBLE! SERVICE SUCKS, they kept lying and saying any moment now for the shuttle but we called around 2:03 it’s now 3PM. Mind you they are down the street from the airport. We are still waiting CURRENTLY!! Then they stopped answering our phone calls !!!! They put them straight to voicemail, after we damn near waited and is still waiting for about an hour. I understand it’s cheap and it’s a motel but service is service. Just be honest and say you are going to wait for a while don’t have us outside waiting and then you stop answering our phone calls!
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…
