Essence Express Elizabeth

My first impression of this motel was negative but everything changed once I arrived at the desk. People working here are professional,kind, generous, friendly and helpful which you can't find anywhere near Newark. Place is 10 minutes away from the airport but you can hear the highway from the motel. Prices are cheap and not skyrocketing high either for a night like $100. The room looked new and gorgeous, the sheets and bed was fresh and soft that I could not complain about. It's a basic motel but good thing was that it was clean. HD 4k Tvs were brand freaking new loaded with channels. I should not judge a book by the cover at all. I'm telling people about this place.

Positive: Nothing Negative: The heat was awful the room was cold and the water was cold as well in the shower it was the worst experience ever

I stay at Essence on my way in to NYC for a night and on my way out of NYC. It’s in close proximity to a good supermarket and on the main highway. Room was clean and big. TV, Microwave and Fridge in the room made it easy to manage without having a restaurant.

I was so blessed that I arrived to Newark airport early and I called and they accepted to an early check in (just $30 more) the guy in the front desk I forgot his name but he was unbelievably great, understanding and helpful, and believe me the experience was amazing. In my opinion the place it's actually really safe, I didn't have any issue in and out of it, Room really clean, comfortable and it's absolutely good for the money. The only thing I could say is, if it's a family, be careful with the TV remote in any kid hands, it turns out there's XXX programing, but besides that I recommend this place 100% any time of the day. I'll definitely gonna choose this one again in the future.

When I arrived I thought I was going to have a bad experience as it looked like a motel 6 instead of a hotel. However, when I walked in my room I liked the eco friendly environment it provided such as the mini soaps and the soap dispensers. Lastly, the owner was very nice, friendly, inviting, and communicative throughout the whole stay that left a good impression.
