On our way back from a weekend in NYC and NJ, our car's tire rod broke less than a mile from the border of our home state of Maryland. We could not get it repaired on a Sunday evening, so we had to find a last minute hotel. The City of Newark police officer who helped us get a tow told me to avoid the two cheapest and worn down hotels off I-95, so I went for the next best deal in town. Glad we took his advice because our stay last night was just good enough for a bit under a hundred bucks. It was very easy to walk 1/4 mile to get a few beers to pass the night. No problem the next morning walking a bit less to the tire and alignment shop to negotiate the repair. We had food we salvaged from our car, but the TGIF would have been right there had we not. The decent continental breakfast helped us avoid the need for a restaurant the next day. There no eggs, so light on the protein, but the waffles and cream cheese bagel and strong coffee were good enough as was the bed, which was adequate for sleeping most of the night. Our only complaint is about the noisy heating unit and thin walls that exposed us to outdoor noises, but we were grateful just to be safe in a room rather than sleeping in our car or in the woods behind the hotel. The two ladies working the desk were very nice at check out when they let me take the key back to get our food and drinks from the fridge before the Lyft took us to the tow shop. Thanks again Baymont Newark!
