Racpanos Modern Stays 294 Forrest Street, Jersey City, NJ 07304

"- 10 Not even if it was free should you stay here. The neighborhood is IN THE HOOD. When I stayed people in the building were fighting and the police was called at 3am. Fights every night in the apartment above. Landlord would not address issues like door, TV and wifi codes not working. Once he has your money the careing stops. DONT STAY HERE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ⚠️"

"Charged $197.54 in "taxes and fees" with no special accommodations. Manager claims fees were for "water and energy" - unheard of! Especially being that I've booked rooms here previously and was never charged such fees. Opened a case with Expedia who is currently investigating these charges to give me an exact breakdown of the fees I was charged. Unfortunately, the only immediate courtesy they could extend was a $100 coupon, which is better than nothing. Much better than what the manager here (Joseph) offered, I attempted to contact him multiple times without an answer."

"We reserved the Queen room which had a private bath. The bathroom could use some renovating and there were no curtains or blinds up to the windows so privacy was nil. That issue was rectified the next day. The room was spacious and clean but there was no dresser, no television and you have to provide your own food and drink. Complimentary coffee is not even provided. The neighborhood is a pretty rough one, a lot going on outside and you have to find parking early if you want a space. I don't advise staying there, but if you have nowhere better to stay then take the chance. It's actually a multi dwelling house converted into single rooms. One important tip: When booking, make certain that you actually have reservations before you go there because if you don't, you really won't have anywhere to stay. It happened to us the second time we visited J.C. and in the middle of the night we were stuck with no room although we had a confirmation of our reservation, and they refused to accommodate us. We'll never stay there again."

"Seems clean at first... but its in a "sketchy" area where you have to park on the street. The building is secure and armed but windows don't have screens. No towels or hand soap or conditioner. Shower curtain looks like it has blood stains.... there's an already used soap bar... cannot control the heat or a.c. and there's no tv remote. The owner is easily reached but we were not able to get a refund on the very expensive singular hotel room and had to stay. Includes a mini fridge with freezer, sink, microwave, and small bathroom. No handle on sliding glass door."

"3 stars only because the owner or management was slow to respond to our request of turning up the heat since its controlled remotely...The place was clean and spacious but that was a sore spot of our stay...We are from the south and its winter in jersey. It's not a good look to have the room only 15 degrees hotter than outside when its 40 degrees on the forecast..."
