Default What's your EWR Crashpad experience?

It's been a couple of years since folks have commented on EWR crashpads. Updates? What's your experience....Transportation? Cost? Atmosphere? Safety? What's around the pad?

$235/month for reserves, $185 for line holder at the country inn/suites. Van to from every 30 minutes, other hotels in the complex with happy hour specials, Ruby Tuesday and some other joints downstairs, lots of places that deliver. Mall across the street and movie theater. Sitting reserve in a crash pad blows anywhere, but it wasn't bad.

Grumble, I have heard of this set up. How often did you find the room packed or empty for that matter? This is basically hot bunks correct?

Default Blocked Inn

I stayed at the Blocked in which is run by one of our captains. It's been about 7 years since I left, but it was a decent setup with coin laundry machines, big screen tv's vending machines with beer if you're stuck there on a day off, etc and no hot bunking. You have your own bed there (no hot bunking), but there's always a bunch of guys around, so if you are looking for super quiet, it's probably not the spot. I had a pretty good experience there overall and would stay there again if I needed a crashpad.

The particular room I was in had six bunks in the back, rarely was the room full. If it was, the hotel would put the over flow into another room.

No hot racking, and hotel house keeping cleaned the room and changed the sheets daily.
