On January 2008, I'm planning on saving enough money to move to Newark, NJ. From Augusta,GA?

I will need $127 to go Newark, NJ on the bus and I don't want to stay in the hotels way out on the highway going closer to the Newark Airport. So I will probably need to stay a hotel in maybe East Orange, NJ called the Villager Lodge. How much does that cost to stay there anyway? Plus, I'm looking for an apartment that costs $500-$700 in Newark, NJ 1 BR
