just left a one-night stay here. is it the fanciest hotel in the world, is it my recommended vacation destination, is it in the world's best neighborhood? all nos.

but - is it a new-ish build to brand standard, is it clean, were all of the staff friendly and helpful (not that i needed much), did i get a hot shower with good water pressure, did i sleep well, was it a good enough value for the price paid, did the starbucks have iced coffee (not cold brew) in the morning? all yes. garage is secure, room was spotless, really no complaints other than that you are of course in newark.
