Does anyone have insight on crashpads.com? Is it worth the $15? Are there any other sites that you recommend? Thanks!
Crashpads.com is not worth paying for.

Crash pads in the area start at $195 (for line holders) up to around $300 for reserve guys depending on what you want (hot bed, private room etc)

I Stay at "The Blocked Inn". $260 a month, option of a reserved bed for more $$$.

WiFi, cable, new apartments with full furnishings (washer dryer iron oven etc)

They have a maid service that washes all of the towels and sheets and makes the beds EVERY day.

5 minute walk to small grocery store with EXCELLENT $4 subs.

10 minute walk from Stop and Shop

Transportation is provided in the form of a valet parking service that will pick you up from the terminal and drop you off a 50yrd walk to the pads.

The downside is the neighboorhood but its Newark...

Hope that helped!

BTW, who you fly for?
