Essence Express Wayne

Hotel

My ex-bf Patrick and I used to go here frequently at least once or twice a week. Sometimes for a few hours or we'd stay over on a Friday night. Much of what the reviews say is true but they are constantly upgrading the rooms. We stayed in yucky rooms but we were usually renting for a few hours to hangout and drink. One time we found a crack pipe behind a dresser, sometimes you smell pot but I have seen the staff come down the hall trying to find out where the smell was coming from and spray air freshner. The smoking rooms stink but my bf smoked so we had to have those rooms but any smoking room will smell no matter where you go. Much of the decor was old but little by little it seems they are trying to do all the rooms. The last room at the top of stairs by the back parking lot EVERYTHING is new in there. Nice tile/wood floors, modern furniture, flat screen tv, glass enclosed shower and fancy sink. There is another room across the hall a few doors down on the opposite side has a No Smoking sign on the door that room is more updated but not as nice as the last room at the top of the stairs. For the most part I know the beds are clean. A few times we checked in while the maids were still cleaning and they asked us if we could wait 15 mins for the bed spread to come out of the dryer. I never had a bad time there. I don't know if it's the ideal place for families but I have seen families checking in. I suppose it's ok for a night or 2. They have free Wifi and it works.

There were two boxes of condoms under the mattress and it was obvious the level of cleaning being done was subpar. For the price you could go to a superior hotel right down the street — the Ramada inn which has superior rooms, service, and amenities.

No problems or issues at all.

The door lock was broke and they still made us stay w the room. Like our privacy wasent important.

No microwave, nor refrigerator but extremely clean and peaceful atmosphere.

Awful awful awful lied about rates cheated us money called cops at checkout because we were a lhalf hour late and they demanded more money no phone blood on sheets drugs in bed at entrance. Just terrible.

I don't recommend this place to no one. The vending machine doesn't work there's no ashtrays in the room two lights doesn't work in the room also the bathroom is a little dirty if you want a good hotel I suggest you spend more money.

It was okay. Rooms were big enough. There was a spider in the shower but I like spiders so it wasnt a problem.

Hard to access, place smells heavily of smoke and marijuana, staff doesn't want to deal with you they want your $ and you get your key and bye.

The two beds are too dirty for $105 serivce are bad too only HAD One blanket also I ask for extra and the guy told me he only have ONE.

If I could give no stars I would worst place ever motel 6 is better smells of mold. Rooms where not clean. The first room had a water leak in it. Not worth the money find another place. Any place a tent would be better.

Room was nice and big. The staff was polite.

This place did not deserve a whole star. The room was hot when we walked in. There were stains on the curtains (window and shower), all over the A. C. Unit. Pubic hair was all over the bathroom the shower curtain was thick with dirt. The sheets were filthy and they CLEARLY don't believe in bleach. They are all rude and unprofessional and they would not give us a different room or refund our money. This was one of the worst experiences ever.

Super clean. Easy check in. Large, room, comfortable king size beds. No complaints. Good price.

Nasty, dirty place. Pillows are lumpy and hard and the bed suck. Tv is outdated and bearly working. The phone in the room didn't work either. Over all if I can give it a negative star, I would.

The worst place ever, please guys never go there I pay for the night walked in the room and walked right out. I didnt let my kids touch nothing. Idk why I thought it was ok bc its in wayne lol.

Practically you get what you pay for.

El lugar es comodo el ambiente es amiable.

Very disgusting! Filled with bed bugs and blood stained mattresses and sheets. Mice running through the night. No mini fridge no microwave. Stained walls and broken furniture. This was once a descent place I would say until the Indian owners. Now the place is a dump and should be shut down until at least the bed bug and mice problem is fixed.

This is got to be the Dirtiest abandoned looking hotel I've ever been in. Reason why I stayed is because I was so tired and falling asleep at the wheel so to avoid any accident I stayed. Its noisy and the smell from people smoking outside was coming inside, I couldn't sleep so I took a shower and the hot water ran out… yes I should of turned around and ask for my money back. Spend a little bit more and get something better people.

Crack head hotel for real dirty as shit stinks wouldnt recommend this to anyone worst ive ever been in only thing is 85 a night which aint too bad but my room dont have a phone was dirty not even a trash can or remote only good for smashing someone u really dont care for luckily I wasnt paying for this or it would be hell…

Its too cheap I never want to go back again.

Amazing for the price. Service and people are absolutely fabulous. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Best motel I've ever been to from experience.

If you are from NNJ you know this is a whorehouse. Everyone knows that the live in girls are hookers, just check out Craigslist.

Paid $80 a night for 4 nights, only get cheaper rates for longer stays. Everything reeks of smoke, hallways and room. Can't keep smoke out of room. Absolutely no amenities other than tv, towels and internet. Internet speed acceptable for email and facebook. No clock, hairdryer, iron, microwave, fridge, coffeemaker or anything that previous tenant could walk out with easily (like the tp holder). Poorly maintained building, no issue with shower or batch but sink stopper improperly installed. "Bath" towell too small to wrap around waist and thin. Parking lot well lit but trash in dumpster overflows daily. Used by locals for parties and such, no place I'd bring my kids but there are long term tenants with children. Not worth the money but not much is around here. Take nothing for granted, inspect room and hvac before paying. Hotel receipt didn't match credit card charge.

What a dump never been in a motel that was so ghetto. No fridge microwave iron soap blow dryer. Only 1 microwave in the lobby for the whole place pillows flat as pancakes towels like sandpaper and the size of washcloths on 2of them for a family of 4 I was in 4 rooms within 20 mins of beeing there wholes in the walls leaking faucets dirty pillows with blood stains on them the last room I went in only had 2 holes. Lucky me lol but no tv. So after waitng 35 mins for the no speaking english maintenanc kid. To get help to bring the tv. I went and got it myself from the other room. Also dont. Bother useing the do not disturb sings they go in anyway. When I went to the front desk to ask why they went in my room I was told. Cause they can. By kahndi the hindi front desk clerk. When I askd for clean pillows I was told there are no more. Dont do it all I can say 1 room the toilet wouldnt even flush others dont even havs face plates on the light switches or electrical outlets. They TV is so fuzzy I wonder if they didnt lay there bill and if there stealing it.

This is the worst motel/ hotel I've ever been in. No refrigerator, hair dryer, shampoo, coffee, bad towels, bad soap. They had the stones to charge 92 for it, apparently due to recent flooding locally there is high occupancy, and they are gouging all they can. The maint guy is about 15, he keeps banging the stockroom door near my room. Its 11:00 at night! I keep telling him to stop doing that, he doesnt speak a word of english. Next time I will sleep in my car or on desk at work.

Round I went down to the desk to ask about the internet and the little Indian girl had an attitude and started raising her voice about it. I had to remind her that I PAID to stay here. (Even though I regret it) I even offered to fix what was wrong to get my work done I know about routers and stuff. I asked her name and she would not give it. She said the owners knew about it. There was an elderly man sitting in the lobby on his laptop cause that is the only place that it will work. Wish I could post a pic of the sign outside that says free hi speed internet. What a joke of a place. Once again. DO NOT stay here. You will be disappointed.

Good and clean place 2 adults and 2 kids 79 with tax free Wi-Fi.

We stayed here for three nights and I was very disappointed. First of all it is very hard to pull into hotel. You have to cross three lanes of traffic when you get off the highway. When we got into our room the ac filters were so clogged up the ac would not cool. The ceiling tiles were falling out. Their was no alarm clock, mini fridge, iron, etc. The hotels one and only ice machine was broken for two of the three days we were there. All I can say is that their are plenty of other hotels close and they are alot nicer with all of the ammentities and for about the same price. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
