“Based on what I've gathered, Red Roof Inn And Suites Newark - University presents a mixed bag; past guest experiences suggest potential safety concerns and inconsistent service that travelers should consider. While some rooms are reportedly clean, issues like broken fixtures and uncomfortable mattresses appear to be recurring themes. Given its proximity to the university, a focus on improved security and consistent room maintenance would greatly enhance its appeal.”
