The room was nice! Very much a hostel/dorm vibe since the kitchen and bathrooms are shared, but with your own lockable room so it still feels quite private. It was nice that you check yourself in and out, I had a lot of freedom to come and go without needing to coordinate with anybody.

Allow time for parking though--there's tough competition for street parking here and I had to circle for a long time and park kind of far away to get something. Also neighborhood parking without a permit is only available on weekends.

On the plus side again, it's SO CLOSE to the Newark station, literally 5 minutes walk. The Ironbound area of Newark it's in is also really great, very diverse and quaint. Overall really worth the value, good stay.
