We stayed like ten days. And cleaning was very right, room temperature just quiet right. Reception was very smiley :) everything is great, thank you
I needed accommodation urgently and this was convenient for the location and price. I wasn't expecting lavish rooms but was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and clean space as well as the amenities available. I stayed one night and it was really comfortable. The shower and bed were my priorities and these were excellent... I felt right at home. Everything was super clean, the selection of tv channels was great, air conditioner was a joy especially since my stay was on a 96 degree day. I slept like a baby that night, in fact I overslept and missed checkout time and had to be reminded lol. I was expecting an attitude but the management was polite and this might be the main reason I will definitely be back here when I'm in the area again. They were accommodating while I was trying to rush my way out. The excellent efficiency of the staff was truly great. Can't go wrong with this place, highly recommend.
Stayed one night at Haiban Inn and had a good experience overall. The location is super convenient—just a short walk to the Journal Square PATH station and surrounded by great Indian restaurants. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a quick overnight stay—microwave, iron, and toiletries. Check-in was smooth and the staff was friendly and helpful. There’s no private parking, but I was able to get a street parking, which made overnight parking easy and affordable—no issues finding a spot nearby especially late night. Daytime street parking would be a luck to try. It’s not fancy, but for the price and location, it’s a solid choice. I’d definitely consider staying here again for a short trip or transit stop.
Haiban inn is good place. I visited three times. Found it helpful to my overnight stay for work trips. Previous stay I used for tourism. People here are kind and service oriented.
A pleasant surprise. Stayed in 2024 for NYE. SO CLOSE to the NJ train that takes you to NYC. Decently clean, not the most lavish rooms. There were a couple broken items in our room…plugs, blinds, refrigerator. However, for the price and proximity we were more than okay to overlook those minor inconveniences though it did make things a little harder. Friendly staff. Fun and pleasant culture!
We didn’t read any reviews or check out the location before booking, just wanted a cheap place to stay while visiting NYC. We were pleasantly surprised! The room, hallway and lobby were nice and clean, and the train station was just a quick 5 min walk. Took only about 20 mins to get to NYC. The street outside looked a bit sketchy, but was no problem. We had a huge room on 4th floor, and everything was nice. We noticed, though, that the other floors didn’t look as nice, so maybe opt for the top floor if you can! Looks like the hotel staff has taken notes of the reviews, because it really wasn’t as bad as many of the reviews. No coachroaches anymore (thankfully)! Really cheap and mediocre place to stay if you want to visit NYC and NJ without paying NYC prices.
Affordable place close to the PATH train. 30 mins and you're in downtown Manhattan. Big clean room.
Clean, professional, affordable, good people. The best place you can get on a visit. The location in India square is very good.
Busy area with a PATH train station, 1929 Loew’s Jersey Theatre & art shows at Mana Contemporary.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
