“moderately ickey but very cheap”

Red Roof Inn Edison

2 of 5 stars
Trapped in Maryland
10 May 2008

I used this as a launching point for touring Manhattan. Definitely a LOT cheaper than a hotel in the city, and only approx 1-hour to the Staten Island Ferry giving me a free trip into the city with a very cheap $5 parking fee at a lot near the ferry.

I was a bit nervous about choosing such a low-priced motel, but the Red Roof web site indicated that the room was recently remodeled which made me decide to give it a try. I was disappointed about the quality of the remodeling, though. The renovation was clearly done to minimize the cost. There were still remnants of the old 1970s light fixtures and the smoke detector also appears to be from that era (yikes!).

Yes, the room had a newer wood veneer floor in the bathroom and newer carpet and furniture but this hotel is obviously very busy because these newer items were getting beaten-up fast. Give it another 2 years and the room will be in desperate need of another remodel.

Cleanliness was not too good. The bathroom had not been cleaned well. The room (nonsmoking room) had a musty odor. Only a minimal amount of towels were provided and they were just a tad getting on the grubby side. The bed sheets didn't have any stains, thankfully, but there was a tear in the sheets on the side.

The shower spray and hot water were good.

The motel is right off I-287 and there is a fair amount of traffic noise. It is a motel-style building so the room doors go directly outside. There is a Marriott Fairfield across the street.

If I come back to the New York area, I would consider staying here again... but I would also investigate other hotels even if they cost a bit more.

“A Nice Place to Stay!”

Red Roof Inn Edison

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
London, United Kingdom
8 Mar 2008

For the price paid for the room, I must say that what I got was ok. I needed a place to stay, that wasn't too far from New York. As I don't live in the US, I had been restricted to doing my research (for a place to stay) on the internet.

I was a bit sceptical about the place, mainly due to the very low rates that were being charged. But on arrival, I was greeted by a very polite receptionist and on getting to my room the place was very neat (& cosy) indeed.

This is strictly a "no frills" place - in other words, all you get is a place to sleep. If you are looking for something more than a place to stay for a short period (max 1 week), this may not be the place for you.

I will surely stay here again, when next I visit that part of the US.

“Good value!”

Red Roof Inn Edison

Mill Creek, Washington

Considering how expensive hotels in NJ can be, this is a fine place to stay. Don't expect anything fancy, tho. The rooms are clean, however they can be slightly noisy (as I stated in the prior review, turn the fan on to low, it helps). Hotel is close to the freeway, and close to Edison. It's ~20 minutes to the Metropark NJT train station, which gets you into midtown Manhattan in less than an hour. I like staying here because it's safe, a good value, and a central location. Their most expensive room, with a king bed and a desk to work on, was something like $80 plus tax. I would definitely stay there again.

a reasonable place .
it was clean and conveniently located . the room was very small but still acceptable for 1 night . the thin walls might cause problem if ppl next door are noisy but it didn't happen to me .

“Great budget accommodations”

Red Roof Inn Edison

2 Aug 2005
3/4 found this review helpful

The Edison Red Roof Inn is a great value for your money. We found an affordable rate of $69 online. The hotel was recently renovated, and our room was clean and comfortable. The beds were particularly good -- excellent back support, yet cozy. We also had a very friendly greeting from the desk clerk, unusual for a budget property. Would stay here again!

A note -- rooms do not have hair dryers, so bring your own. I was able to get one from the front desk last minute, but I think it was the only one available.
