2735 US Route 22 West
Union, New Jersey
Please do not stay at this place. I know that it is one of the cheap motels one can stay at and I have stayed at other "economical" motels and everyone knows how bad some of these economical motels are. But this place, Travelodge, was the worst place one could stay at. Not because it was a bad smelling, dirty motel in an old building but because the place seemed like it was dedicated to prostitutes and prostitution. I could be totally wrong but that is what I felt. I am also not saying that the motel's owner/operator/franchisee is involved in any such activities but I would say that they seem unwilling to do anything about it.
Two incidents that happened in 4 days of my stay there:
- Three female motel employees entered my room for room service at 11 in the morning and started singing shouting in the room as if they were in a night club on a weekend night. They were well aware that I was there and was sleeping when they entered the room. I had to ask them to leave the room immediately.
- The second time only one female motel employee entered the room for room service at around 11 again and I was sleeping again. She asked if I need any service and then asked me "Why are you sleeping so much, are you pregnant?" - Now let me tell you all at this point that I am a "MALE" and an ugly one! Making a mistake is not possible but anyway, that is not the point I am trying to make.
The reason why this is happening at that Travelodge is because even the employees know that the people staying at that motel are mostly characterless, low-lifes, sex addicts(probably) and indecent.
I can't find any other explanation to all that I wrote above. I have stayed at places much cheaper than this Travelodge but employees would come-in for room-service, do their work quietly and leave.
Another possible explanation: Because it was a cheap motel, employees didn't treat people staying there respectfully just because they were staying at a terrible and cheap place. But I do not think this is the case. But if this was the case, then employees would have been rude or would show attitude instead of making fun and laughing at the motel clients/customers.
I paid about $60 a day and stayed 4 days at this place.
Long story short. Do not stay here unless you don't have any other option.
Note: I have no intention to harm the reputation of this travelodge. This was the first time I stayed at a travelodge and my experience was horrible. I think that the motel owner/operator/franchisee and the brand franchisor (travelodge) should spend more time and efforts on training the motel employees. I don't know about prostitutes or prostitutions and I would say that it was based on my judgement which could be totally wrong. However, after the second incident, I did read about Travelodge on Wikipedia and I read something similar about another Travelodge in Atlanta, Georgia.
