My "non-smoking room" smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that I had to double check the door to see if there indeed was a no smoking sign on the door. There was, but it's clearly not enforced and not cleaned up afterwards. Crawling into bed there's some plastic crap that made me feel like I was crawling into a bodybag. I wake up to find that I slept on sheets with dried blood only half-washed out (pictured, and not mine). Icing on the cake, the clock in hotel lobby was 10 minutes slow, so I almost missed my flight while trying to check out. 2* for having great hot water read more

Motel 6 - Elizabeth - Hotels Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

The only good thing about this motel was that it was super close to the airport. Our room Wasn't even ready when we got there even though we had our room key. The door was wide open and half made up for us. When I went to find a housekeeper or go to front desk, the housekeeper yelled at me saying the room was clean. Clean, yeah, but it wasn't made up. She was bringing comforters and pillow cases to put on. The comforters had cigarette burns in them. The bathroom was in bad condition. The ceiling was practically falling apart. The tiles were separating from the wall. The shower fixture wasnt attached right. If I had any indication they would give me a refund I would have asked and checked out but it was already late and it was for one night since we were leaving early the next morning. read more

THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT TF DOWN. IMMEDIATELY!! ROACHES ROACHES ROACHES!!! -The price is outrageous for what you get -The people who work it don't give af about you. They hang up on you and have an attitude about everything -The rooms are PUTRID. Our first room was that out of a movie with a bad motel in it but worse. There was SHIT on the ceiling, the beds were so strange looking and dirty. We asked to switch rooms and they gave us an attitude. Our new room was considered "nicer". The bold on the room door was missing a screw, the bathroom was dirty, and the beds had stains. We left out for the day and came back and was getting ready for bed when we saw ROACHES, MOLD IN THE MICROWAVE, DEAD AND LIVE ROACHES IN THE MINI FRIDGE, and QUESTIONABLE PEOPLE LOITERING OUTSIDE. We escaped to the hotel next door the Crown Plaza. Go to Crown Plaza, it's BEAUTIFUL. The End. read more

The absolute worst! the front desk person was rude and not helpful at all. You have to self-park and there aren't any spots for you. FOR EWR Parking, Do not bother to park here. unless you want a terrible experience! Shuttle service pick up on arrival took almost an hr to show up! I had to call 7 times before someone answered. I cant imagine the hotel rooms being clean or a place you would want to stay! read more

needs negative 10 stars.. all i will say is i feel bad for the bugs and rats that live there, my recommendation to the fire department is if it ever catches fire safe the people staying there and don't waste any water on it,,dont ever stay here. read more

This is rough hotel, but only because it's not in the best shape and needs an absolute remodel. But the people who stayed here weren't part of this equation as it wasn't like druggies or prostitutes. It was mainly people out-of-town to include full families. With this kind of clientele the owner could really fix this place up and really make it nice. read more

This hotel could be renovated and make lots of money. Instead they do not care about the interior and only using the parking lot to park cars. DO NOT STAY unless it's a last resort. The first room they put me in, the door wouldn't even shut properly OR lock. The second room they put me in has holes in the walls, a mechanic cloth for a wash cloth, bathroom door with no handle, a TV in which half the channels did not work. It's a shame a business is like this, especially being so close to Newark Liberty. read more

July 13, 2023. Around 4pm. 1 star goes straight to hot water in a room. Cheers bro. That's it. Oh yeah, and to the morning shift ( July 14, 2023 ) guy. He was almost nice as he supposed to be as a frond desk staff. If I could give this place -1 stars I would. My uber dropped me at the main entrance. I got into the lobby. Stopped at the window and I can see that the guy sitting in his phone watching videos. ( Im totally OK with that, sometimes it's boring at front desk ). I'm pulling my ID from my wallet and all I could hear is "YOU CANT SAY HI? Can you let me know you are here?????" and he was ANGRY AT ME !!!!!!!AND COMPLAINING!!!!!! WHAT IN THE FLYING F... JUST HAPPENED????????????? I said I came in a SECOND AGO !!!!!!!!! I can't believe this moron just almost yelled at customer. I and I did not do anything wrong. Check the damn cameras to watch. I dare you. I wish I've asked his f name but check on schedule who was it. Next morning Motel 6 airport shuttle driver got out of the van and I said "HELLO! May I get in?" He said nothing first couple seconds. Me: "You stop at terminal A?" And he's like "GOOD MORNING!!!!" with unhappy voice!!!!! I said "I SAID "HELLO"!!" I'm not a "KEVIN/KAREN" in this world but....what is wrong with this place? Or maybe people here are unhappy? If you don't like your job - swallow your attitude or change anything! Go work at DICK'S LAST RESORT" restaurant, you can yell and cuss at customers there!!!!!! Writing a letter to corporate. This is NOT A MOTEL 6 way to do business! Oh yeah, my back hurts after I spent a night in room 204, mattress was and bathroom door handle is almost fell off the door, I don't know how it's still there, someone prayed really good, I guess. And I don't know how is this place still operating. Location, probably. Close to the airport. THATS IT!!!! Yeah, it's quiet and KINDA clean. Some truck stop showers cleaner than showers here. $120 bucks a night for this place???????? Please, do yourself a favor, spend $50 more and stay somewhere else. read more

This room truly is out of a horror film. The proprietor has to be a "special person" to allow anyone to pay for this non-refundable room. Dumpster a few feet outside front window. Half painted bathroom. Warning stickers on soap for National Trafficking hotline. Busy highway steps from the front door that has a gap (mice need not duck to come and go). The room next door is dark and door is open all night for....? Recommendation: good place for street people to pool their money/come in out of the rain/stash their shopping carts. Room is a step above living on streets, but not as clean/safe as sleeping in your car. Not for everyday citizens, used to having proprietor put in some modicum of effort in making a room habitable or safe. read more

so disgusting. They hang up on you if you request anything, they don't have the TV if they pretend to offer, they don't protect you from anything, it's filthy and disgusting and there is garbage all over the property. A mouse literally just ran across my side table, trying to get into my licorice. I was taking a nap and woke up and he ran down the table.... read more

Would literally give this place 0 stars if I could. As soon as we walked into reception there was a strong sh*t smell. Dude upfront helped us out and gave us our door keys and room number. Getting into out room we immediately noticed the uncleanliness, we noticed bugs on the pillows and roaches on the walls. Door lock didn't close (really sketchy area). Toilet wouldn't even flush, tables was "fixed" by adding folded paper underneath. Please add a few extra bucks and stay in a place that's worthy!!! read more

Not good at all. The room was clean it's just not the best hotel chain. Paid $248 because weather caused delays at airport. And most were sold out. Would never stay there again unless it's the only hotel available within 20 miles with availably. read more

There's were bugs all over the bathroom. Not mention the tv cable cords were cut.on top off that you couldn't even flush the toilet . The room was colder than a deep freezer. Had my mother fucking toes bald up like fist tf. I was freaked out my whole entire stay. I would never ever put a penny of my money to stay at buggy motel 6. what can improve is every mother fucking thing. read more

I've been to many motel 6's around the US, and got to say, this one, takes the blue ribbon for the worst dirtiest trash hole in the country. How did Motel 6 allow these people to use their logo on the outside? HOW? Corporate office needs to get on this fast or loose out on a good relationship I've had with them in my past. Language problems, laundry service, trash outside doors,roaches I could ride with a saddle. All this and more. Did they tear off a Motel 6 sign from somewhere and glue it on to their door? read more

Super bad 0 rating if I could The room is basically destroyed not painted tiles missing bed is broken read more

Motel 6 - Elizabeth - This is such a bad motel not wort 135 bucks horrible room - Hotels Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

Tuesday, my flight from San Francisco to Newark was delayed 3 hours and I missed my connecting flights from Newark to Lome, Togo, Africa then Lagos, Nigeria, Africa. THANKS ALOT ALASKA AIRLINES. The next flights were not leaving from Newark to Africa until another two days.  Expedia KINDLY made the room reservation at the Motel 6 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. SMH.  They did have a shuttle to pick me up at my terminal.  He arrived within 10 minutes.  He gets 5 stars!!! Management at this place OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED of themselves.  Like The Grinch... The three words that best describe this dump are as follows, and I quote: "Stink" "Stank" "Stunk"!!!!!! Room 103 NEEDS SOME SERIOUS HELP!!!. Fire detector: Not working Carbon Monoxide detector: Not working Phone: Not working I do not know why they just didn't remove the broke-down dresser. Every drawer was broken....including the damn handles....decoration I guess. The shower head was broken. Turned on the shower and water shot clear across the room. Could've put an eye out. The door is NOT secure at all. I could look straight through the door frame. This 32° chill came right through the door all night....both nights. The second day I went to the front desk and told them that I didn't need housekeeping. I guess she didn't get the message. She walked straight in the room AND THE TOP SECURITY LATCH DIDN'T EVEN WORK. How safe is that? Whodini said, "The freaks come out at night." Apparently, so do the BEDBUGS at this joint. I woke up in the middle of the night and found bedbugs on the sheets. Hell....if they were going to join me....I wish they would've went half on the room. Avoid this dump. SMH Happy Holidays All!!!! read more

My family and I stayed at this infested death trap, the rooms are loaded with bedbugs, roaches and flies. People pay to stay here while night walkers aka junkies get to sleep at your door after hell raising all night. When I try to explain why my stay was not good I was told take it up with management. REALLY!!!!!! How about I call corporate and the health department to shut this place down and get my damn money back. I don't live with bedbugs I don't have them in my home and don't wish to bring them home. Stay in your car it's safer to sleep and a cheaper bill along with your sanity. read more

This place is the worst. Booked and paid on Expedia before coming. When I arrived, it went from 'you don't have anything booked' to 'we don't have any rooms'. Eventually, I got a room. A room with no microwave, fridge or lamps. The bathroom is in dire need of being repaired by a professional. The ceiling has water spots everywhere and the floor is warped and uneven. They didn't complete my check in and tried to give the room I was sleeping in away at 1am. The area is unsafe in general but, with all the people coming in and out of rooms and hanging out in the parking lot, I would advise not going out alone. There is always someone in the parking lot screaming no matter what time of day All in all, you get less than what you pay for here read more

Worst hotel experience! Bugs, door lock didn't work, blood on sheets, car parked in when had to leave, shady, scary place!

The one star I have assigned means this place met my low expectations. We just needed a place to sleep on our weekend jaunt to visit dear friends and we weren't disappointed. (Any more than we expected to be.) The poor customer service at check-in was the harbinger of a disappointing stay ahead for us. Having just found out that the hotel offered military discounts, I asked to switch the reservation to my name and the clerk was unwilling to change it. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was a brilliant maneuver to ensure we wouldn't be back in the future. On another positive note, we got the biggest room (nothing big about it except the exceptional amount of dirty fingerprints all over the walls and the doors). Once inside, our eyes feasted on what could only be described as a train wreck. The smoke detector looked like it had been forcibly removed (I presume bc it was a "smoking" room. ). My other thought was that it was a training amenity for anyone wanting to become either a terrorist or an electrician. Next, I looked up and saw drooping ceiling tiles. I'm fairly certain that it's not a new design trend in hotel room decor, but you never know. I was a bit concerned about it falling on me overnight. Then, there was also a huge, sloppy repair patch on the wall; I recognize I'm no Bob Vila, but I think I could have done better. The management added a unique feature to one of the beds, which to their credit I've never before seen outside of a child's room. It was a plastic mattress protector, which made rolling around extremely noisy and conjured wild images of bed bugs and urine. I would say overall that the hotel did not disappoint. It would be a great place to host a realistic escape room game or a crime scene. read more

If I could take away a star, I would , I got a few words words. Filthy, rip off, run away. I live in San Diego and I can honestly say I have stayed in way better filthy joints in Tijuana Mexico. The airport got closed . Our flights were canceled. and we were forced to pay $400 for a room at this filthy dump. I think I would've rather spent the night on the street. It would've been equivalent I never felt so ripped off or unsafe in my life. Do yourself a favor and if you have a chance to stay on the street do so and save the money it's safer and cleaner this is 100% my honest opinion. I have never been more disgusted with a place in my life. I rarely post a negative review my honest opinion stay away and save your money do yourself a favor. The only thing that they lack is a gun when you check in because they rip you off a motel six should be $100 at best and that would be for a clean one. Thank God the hotel next-door charges you $190 and is just shy of a five star hotel the Crown plaza is right next-door, and the value and very clean and comfortable and I didn't see cockroaches. I checked in at about 2 o'clock in the morning went next-door at about 6 o'clock in the morning and changed out my room. I'm just trying to save the public out there a whole bunch of money. Don't even waste your time. read more

Terrible experience! I would give it negative stars if I could The room was dirty. Things didn't work in the room and staff didn't care to fix it. The staff is rude. The man at the front desk is not friendly. Horrible customer service. Parking lot was so small and loaded with cars. I had a hard time moving my car around. Overall, it's not worth the price for mean attitude with the staff. Go somewhere else read more

Reserved/paid for the parking at the hotel, when we arrived they told us they are full! but we can park at the place next door. it was ok, but the gas tank in my car was almost empty, I realize that when I was on my way home read more

F**k this place, wish I could give this run down, ass roach motel 0 stars. Besides the fact that the room was inhabitable and falling apart, it had holes in the roof, the walls, and the front door close properly and wouldn't lock. So, I forgot something in my room and took an Uber back to get it, the guy is hesitant to give me my s**t like I'm trying to steal something that I called about, then gonna say "no tip?", when I said no, he tosses me my AirPods and says okay well bye bye now rude as f**k. No tip to do your f**king job and give me my s**t? SMH ‍ TO THE STATE OF JERSEY y'all need to shut this place down. Sadly had to stay here due to being the only place available at the moment, but if you can, avoid this crack spot at all costs. read more

If I could give less than one star, I would. My buddy and I had our flight canceled abruptly and had to stay at a motel closest to the airport. Unfortunately, I chose this one without looking at reviews first. The receptionist was rude, and completely not helpful. The room smelled of mold and cigarettes, and there was a half inch gap under the door to allow roaches in an out. I was awoken 3 o'clock in the morning by a bedbug, biting my left arm. My friend and I abruptly got up and packed our bags and couldn't wait to get back to the airport by 530. What a grotesque experience! The only way I would delete this post would be if I got 100% payback on the money I wasted in this disgusting motel. read more

Simy, no. The room looked as though it should Have been rented by the hour. The front desk associate had zero customer service skills. I'll just assume that they are used to dealing with a certain class of people, so they treat everyone as if they are vermin. I could go on all day, but I'll #JustSayNo read more

I was flying out of Newark Airport with my pup. I needed a place to stay for 10 hours. I choose Motel 6 as it was budget friendly and their motto is "clean, comfortable rooms". I arrived to the property around 7pm. The scene that I drove up to was surreal. Their were children running around the parking lot, adults loitering in the lobby and parking areas. The first room I was assigned had curtains falling off the window and was facing that parking lot. The second room I was given had curtains hung but..locks were broken, sheets were stained, mold in the bathroom grout and the tub was stained. There were red hair dye stains on the toilet seat and walls of the bathroom. The patches on the walls were unpainted and the door was held together with duct tape. I unpacked my own linens (I was moving to Hawaii) made up my bed, moved furniture in front of my door and hunkered down for my night. Around 9 pm I had to go to the lobby to talk to the front desk agent as he did not answer the phone. I told him about the room and he told me the room was fine. He then told me I was rude. He began speaking to a woman at the lobby desk in another language and I asked him to please speak in english. He yelled at me "he did not have to, it was none of my business". It's now 11pm I have a flight at 0700 and needed to leave at 0500. Well, 11pm is morning for the folks who live at this motel, life was happening everywhere. People running up and down the stairs, knocking on doors and yelling to each other, next to my room. Cars were beeping and engines were revving all around me. The noise drowned out the planes flying over us! I slept 1 hour and at 0445 I drug my luggage down the stairs and saw men still loitering around. I looked for their shuttle to the airport and was shown to a van. He helped me with my bags and drove me to the airport(this was the highlight of my stay). My complaints were disregarded by the Motel so I reached out to the customer care department. I was told someone would get back to me. A few days later we saw a credit of $30.00 (30%). I called customer care 3 more times, was hung up on twice and then was patched thru to the motel for a 3 way call with the "manager" and customer care. I was hung up on again. I called the motel asked for a manager, was interrogated by the person who answered the phone and was refused access to a manager until I told him I was filing a BBB complaint. At that time the assistant manager, Kyote picked up stating she had been in a meeting. I heard her advising the person speaking to me as to what to say...? She told me there was nothing wrong with the room and they would not refund my money. The money was already spent, it was not the issue, it is now the principal. She also hung up on me. I went up the ladder to corporate. I got a corporate customer care agent (JoJo) who was empathetic but told me there was nothing he could do financially (not the issue anymore!)but the property disrepair would be looked into. I am shocked at the apathy I encountered from the Motel 6 brand up to and including my contact with corporate and my discussion with Jojo. I did not expect a luxury hotel just a Clean Comfortable Room as advertised. I read previous reviews and tried to give this property a chance. Trust me, none of the reviews are exaggerated. Go anywhere else! Sleep at the airport if you have to. read more

This is the WORSE place to stay. I only stayed one night and the worse stay ever. First room didn't have wifi so was switched rooms this room worse than the first.... no wifi, phone didn't work, TV didn't worked (they blamed it on no wifi) the worse thing about the room was that the door to the room didn't close tightly unless you pushed it with your shoulder to close properly. Do not stay here in this HOLE IN THE WALL read more

Dilapidated, dirty, and in ill repair is the best way to describe the room, we stayed in (#214). The t.v. worked but the right side of the screen was discolored and impossible to see unless viewed straight on. The washer between the wall and shower head is defective and water is sprayed over the curtain and down the wall. We booked for a 2 day stay, and they didn't come in to clean the room and replace the towels. Service was really bad, with poor communication from the desk clerk, because they normally tell you the password for the with when you check in but we had to call the desk and ask for it. read more

This motel 6 should be 0 star. Bad experience. I have been to many motel 6 at many different other locations but this one has worst service. I booked rooms with 2 double bed and at time to checkin around 12 at night the receptionist tells me they are out of double bed rooms and have only King size bed available. The guy at reception was nice and apologised for this but he couldn't help to get us double bed room. The room# 104 was dirty and looked like sheet were not cleaned. The location of this Motel 6 looks shady & parking spot is hard to find. read more

Wife and I got stuck in Newark overnight and the only thing not booked was this nasty place. Not well kept, sketchy and right next to a night club.

I don't blame her. read more

Can I leave zero stars? This place is disgusting!!! There were literal bugs and pubic hair in the beds. This place should not be allowed to stay open. It is a health hazard. Stay very very far away. There's a very nicer Crowne Plaza next door for $30 more per night. read more

Fucking customer service! Firstly, after we paid for our room of the party of 4 , the Indian receptionist gave us a wrong key to access the room with someone has been in there already. Secondly, I came to ask for 2 blankets politely, then he responded rudely by throwing just 1 blanket to my face and ask me to go back to my room impolitely. How come that a customer expects a rude an unprofessional like this. Definitely if there is an option 0 or negative ratings, I would do so. Definitely would not come back again. read more

This hotel is a rip off! There is no extended cable as advertised, all channels are analog with fussy reception. Worse, the proprietor uses all the parking spaces for some sort of long-term parking service, probably for travelers flying out of nearby Newark airport. Most nights I've parked on a side-street because there's no parking, even though not many people are staying at the hotel. Stay away from this motel. I'm staying away from Motel 6 in the future. read more

This motel isn't in a safe environment and the locks located in the rooms doesn't work properly. I noticed when checking in that the staff members snap shot a copy of your driver's license and credit card plus the three digit security code on the back of the credit card which is a security fraud issue. read more

This motel was a good laugh. I needed a room after my flights were all canceled until the next day. I knew this would a greasy place to stay but they far exceeded my expectations. My room smelled like a heavy cloud of weed and cigarettes and even had the burn holes on the comforter to go along with it. I had to use a bar of soap to shampoo and dried off with a stained towel. Tried to lock the door before bed and half of them didn't work correctly so I slid the table in front of the door for added security. I got past all that and laid my head down for a few hours of sleep and the TV remote didn't work. I laughed out loud and got a few hours of sleep and checked out as soon as I woke up. I understand a Motel 6 in Newark NJ isn't going to be great but this was extremely comical. read more
