DoubleTree by Hilton Newark Penn Station, NJ

Downtown Newark Newark|1.02km from Rutgers University
I'm Brazilian and I don't speak English fluently, but I can understand if the person speaks slowly and patiently. Unfortunately, the receptionist who received me did not want to help. I had difficulties with the food, there were no meals at the hotel, I couldn't get directions on where to go to eat. I was accompanied by my 7-year-old daughter who cried because she had nothing to eat, and the problem was not being able to buy, but someone helping me where I should be buying. I had problems with the delivery of an application and, again, the receptionist did not propose to help me. I'm disappointed

Tryp by Wyndham Newark Downtown

Tryp by Wyndham Newark Downtown

Downtown Newark Newark|0.65km from Rutgers University
We called ahead and alerted the hotel that we would be checking in late and gave them a time. Nothing else was said except that they’d note it in our booking. We got there a few hours later (at midnight) only to be told when pulling into the lot that they had shut down a whole floor due to plumbing issues. We told him we would take any room he had. The guy asked what kind of booking we had and then called and told us since it was a prepaid res to go tell the front desk he sent us. We parked and went to the front desk where the same guy acted like we were crazy and told us we were supposed to go to the hotel out back. He hadn’t mentioned another hotel at all. So we went through the alley he told us to and found the sister hotel (Robert Treat BW) and we’re given a room that in no way compared to the room we had booked and paid for at Tryp. Things happen and I get that but they should have been calling people to let them know what happened. I would have rather been refunded and found different accommodations myself than to find out after a 12 hour drive that I don’t have a room and that the “comparable” room they had to offer was a closet sized room with a full size bed.

Nice hotel, but not in a good neighborhood and no restaurants or amenities nearby. Room was nice - king bed, sectional sofa for watching big screen TV, desk with task chair, little area with coffee maker and min fridge, plus standard bathroom with glass shower stall. Comfortable and quiet. Had a nice Starbucks coffee, bacon egg sandwich and a juice. Bit expensive but good. Otherwise nice hotel, just Uber as the parking garage or lot is not attached to hotel.

I just want to say that my stay at the comfort suite in Newark/Harrison was Extremely Pleasant not only the price but one of the main reasons I return is the customer service namely an employee name Ms.Viv I must say she goes above and beyond her duty in making me feel welcome also being Extremely patient with me..so this is my first choice anytime I want to get away for a day or too.

Arrived at Newark Airport late on a Sunday evening only to find we’d forgotten to pack our apartment keys, so we were going to have to find a hotel. The nearest was Marriott Newark Airport, but they didn’t have a vacancy. The staff there were very helpful and found us a room at the nearby Marriott Courtyard to which they had a 24-hr shuttle bus. The accommodation was excellent and the staff again very helpful and polite. Faultless service in finding a solution for us at such short notice. Thoroughly recommended!

We stayed here for a night before taking an early morning flight. Clean room and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is about 10 mins. drive to and from the Liberty International Airport. Free hotel shuttle runs every 30mnts. from the hotel. The shuttle is shared with Home2 guests as well and drops you off at all terminals(A,B C...). You have to let the hotel front desk know what time you need the shuttle. Hotel offered grab and go breakfast bags if you have to leave early in the morning if the breakfast area is closed. Hotel offered a menu with international cuisine. Check it out.

This is the third time I’ve used this hotel and it’s been perfect each time. I travel to Africa and the flight is typically out of Newark. The hotel is literally across the highway from the airport and it has a free shuttle to take you to and from. Check in is always easy and quick. Room service is good and the hotel is quiet. Good place to stay if you’re just staying a night until you catch your flight.

Stay in a hotel every month. Strange things happened! Open the door and there is someone inside! Scary! I asked the front desk of the hotel that a person with the same name had already moved in. I got my kids who stayed in other hotels today and asked, ”Will there be anyone in there?” I want to contact Ctrip customer service to complain
