“Great place to stay!!”

We enjoyed the hotel so much. Great location and easy to get to the subway. Two moms and two teenage girls. This was just right for us.

“Nice stay if you can drive on your own”

Overall nice.. very comfortable stay, the front office was very helpful (they got a taxi cab for me) (and I did not know I cannot board a NY taxi in NJ).. If you are visiting NYC and you can drive yourself (toll is $12 for Holland tunnel but you can avoid toll if you take lincoln tunnel).. this is a nice place to stay right next to NYC. If you need to get a cab, its gonna cost you $60 for a 5 mile drive to NYC. Decide for yourself.

“It is awesome”

Nice

“Great location, good value for the money.”

The Hotel is old and right next to the Holland Tunnel but a quick 10 min walk to the PATH train, the Newport Mall across the street, and the marina with beautiful view of all of NYC was perfect. Would go back in a minute. Room was old but clean, comfortable and the staff friendly. We only used the room to sleep, the rest of the time we were out and about in the city. The pastries for breakfast were to die for.

“Smell smoke”

Had to change my reservation 1 day earlier which the hotel was nice enough to oblige, but we got the smoking room due to the change, it was horrible, I could smell the stalled smoke the moment we walked in, the room is clean enough but the room too shabby for us. The location is ideal being so close to NY City, but due to the smell we would not stay here again, I asked for a spray to cover the smell but did not help. You can tell the management took pride in it as they sweep the parking lot, they serve nice pastries and coffee and they even plant flowers by the window, which says allot to me. For the average travelers I think they will be very happy here.

“Peca S.”

Perfect motel. Helpful stuff. We were in USA 26 day and this motel had the best breakfast included in price. And the best destination for visiting Manhattan. Only 8 minutes from Path to Manhattan.

“Pleasantly surprised.”

I read reviews online & was skeptical. I didn't know quite what to expect, so, I kept my expectations low. I was pleasantly surprised. If someone can navigate the PATH system, then, the hotel is pretty convenient. If you're new to trying to navigate any kind of train or subway system at all, then, it's a long, long walk from PATH entrance, especially w/ luggage. I would highly suggest asking for "detailed" instructions on how to get from point A to B. I will say that the staff was VERY helpful in all of the questions that my husband & I had regarding pretty much anything. As far as the actual hotel experience goes, all we used it for was sleep & the occasional jelly doughnut to start our day. There is a continental breakfast like everyone knows but the one drawback is that every guest that partakes, has to share the tiny lobby area with other guests that want to enjoy the "breakfast". All in all, I wouldn't mind staying in Jersey again if we decide to make another trip to NY. The price of the hotel itself can't really be beat by any hotel in Manhattan. If you decide to stay @ this hotel, I hope you enjoy it. You too might be pleasantly surprised.

“September 2011”

If you look for the cheap hotel located 5-10 minutes from Manhattan, this is the one! The service wasn't bad. Though, I booked a room with 1 king size bed, but when I arrived, they said that they didnt have this room available and offered me a room with two separate beds. When I said that this was not what I booked, they said since I alredy paid for it, I had no other choice but take it. I really did not like that. The room smelled like there was a mold and was very humid! If you plan to sleep through the night - forget it! The traffic noice starts around 5 am and finishes around 1am. On the positive site: the breakfast was decent, free parking, free wi-fi (but very slooow...) and quick trip to NYC. Hope this helps!

“Great Deal”

This was our fourth stay at the Holland Motor Lodge and we have never been disappointed. We stayed there the first time because the parking was free, and they could accommodate our trailer. Even without a car, it is so convenient to take the PATH train into the city - 9th st and 6th ave stop is very close to NYU. There are places to eat and drink within walking distance and there is a mall next door. The rooms are basic but clean. The staff is attentive (especially during the hurricane). The breakfast buffet is basic but always well stocked. If you are going to spend a lot of time in your room, this is not the place for you. The view on one side is the parking lot, and the other side is the entrance to the Holland Tunnel. But I've stayed at a few hotels in Manhattan that were noisier and had less of a view - for a lot more money. If you go south on Marin down near Grand St. there are some great places to eat, especially the Light Horse Tavern.
