I should preface this article, because when it comes to traveling I’m a bit of a princess. Not a four seasons, first-class only princess but more of an up scale Hiltons and Embassy Suites princess. So when I found out we were staying at a Quality Inn I had horrible flashbacks of a Travelodge in San Diego and I prepared myself for the utter worst.

So when I arrived at the Quality Inn in New Jersey I was actually a bit impressed. For its budget motel status, it was in neither an extremely shady area of town nor a total dump. Granted if you are using it for a jumping off point for a Manhattan vacation I would chose somewhere in the city and save yourself the car rental that you will need to get there, as there is no public transport anywhere in sight. However if you happen to be in New Jersey for business or something I would recommend this hotel. The beds are nice, it’s clean, it has indoor hallways (critical in the winter!), even name brand toiletries. So for NJ on the cheep I recommend the Quality Inn.
