The Holland hotel

I can really recommend this place. I was looking for a cheap place for me and a couple of friends to stay for a few days to see New York, and quite directly i found this place for a quite reasonable price and when i saw the recessions, i booked it and i was not disapponited.

The Hotel itself is directly next to the entrance of the holland tunnel, but as we had a room on the parking-lot side, this wasn't really a issue, the room was quiet. I can't say how it will be in the other rooms. The room itself had a quite old looking interiour, but as it contained the neccesities and was really clean, and also in a well maintained condition, i can't really say this is a issue. Great point: Free parking included!

The was also breakfast included, which consisted out of a small (!) buffet. You get something to eat, and you have something in your stomach but it is certanly not a "continental breakfast" as the lady at the desk said. But i must admit, that as i am from europe, i don't really know if "continental breakfast" means the same in US as it usually describes a rather large selection here on the other side of the atlantic. This was the only downside i have, but considering the price i cannot really count this as bad, as at some point you get what you pay for, and a large buffet is maybe something for more pricey hotels.

Anyhow, on the plus side, you can reach Manhatten quite fast using the nearby PATH (which costs 2,75 $ one way, so take that into account) and you also have a shopping centre nearby aswell as a liquor store (with a suprisingly good selection of eastern european beers, by the way) and a hardware store. The hotel is also perfect to be reached by car, as you are on the jersey turnpike in no-time! So, five stars for the location aswell.

To sum everything up: It is a really good hotel, with a really good value for the money and i would book it again. If you look for cheap spot to stay, and can afford to not book the cheapest one around, go for it!
