As someone who is obsessed with cleanliness I was impressed and in love with how clean and organized the place was. Honestly if you're staying in New Jersey to go to New York its kinda far but their is a station that is a 12 minute walk that can take you to New York. There are plenty of Latin and Brazilian businesses with affordable prices and good food. Even though we shared the common space we had our own private bathroom and our room had a double locks with made us feel even safer. Again it was extremely clean and everything smelled super fresh. The other people staying there will never be loud at night so you can sleep very peacefully.
