    Location is convenient, right next to Newark Penn Station, connecting you to NY Penn via NJCL and to the World Trade Center via Path. This hotel’s housekeeping service was the worst I’ve ever had in more than 20 years business trips around the world. See noteworthy details below.

    This is a great location if you’re visiting Manhattan and want to spend less on a hotel, it’s about half the price of staying in Manhattan and you’re a quick 10 minute train ride from the city with trains going both to Midtown and downtown depending if you take the Path or NJ The Newark Penn station does get more than a little bit sketchy at night, depending on your travel, comfort level this might not be for you…. I felt fine…. Accessibility to all of the transit systems is via your credit card. You either tap to get on or purchase a ticket in advance, depending on which line you’re going on Google maps can help you get around the area using the transit feature.

    Our room was booked and paid for by United Airlines as a result of an oversold flight. The rooms were comfortable and reasonably clean, but there were a few stains on the furniture, carpet, and bedding. Some of the finishes are scratched, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. The service was atypical. I’m from out of town, and the TSA agent at the airport was more friendly than the evening staff working the front desk. I have never met someone so curt. Our communication was incredibly efficient and check in took about 4 minutes! I appreciated this since we had been traveling, but I think most people would see this as unacceptably rude. For instance, our instructions to get to the room were “10, take a right” after he handed us the key. All in all, if your room is comped by an airline, this is a great place to end up. If I was paying for the rooms with my own money, I would have been more critical.

    I am a Diamond member. Booked two queen beds with 4 adults. Let them know at 10am we were there and confirmed two queen beds. Go to NYC for the day come back to check in an no two beds available. Tried to give us a king with a rollaway. Offered nothing else. Had to drive home to Philly late at night. Awful service

    So here it is the room was great. The bed was comfortable. The place was clean. The check-in was fast. The food at the restaurant was delicious. This is a hotel that caters to travelers And yet as an exhausted traveler at 6 AM in the morning, heading to the airport, the only coffee available are those dreadful teabag coffee services in the room None downstairs None to purchase It’s really not a bad place to say, but if you’re a coffee drinker, bring some instant with you
