the room was much bigger than we expected. Two queen beds, a fair sized bathroom and a JACUZZI HOT TUB !!! ( I checked with the front desk the next day to see if we had gotten an upgrade of some sort and they said no.) The staff was reasonably helpful but not outstanding. Be awaire, there are no restaurants in the area and you will not want to wander around sightseeing in the neighborhood. If you arrive after midnight the kitchen will be closed. You can get finger food and stuff that can be microwaved, but nothing that requires a stove. To sightsee, take their shuttle to Penn Station. It is $* one way and you can split that cost with others to make it real cheap. Breakfast was included but the staff did not tell us so we missed it. The telephone in our room did not work but that was probably a fluke. Internet access is at a terminal in the lobby and is $* for 15 minutes.
The beds are comfortable and I would stay here again.

The hotel desk clerk was very rude. We booked the hotel through online travel website and were told of amenities that the hotel did not conform with. While this is not the hotel's fault, the front desk clerk was extremely rude to us about it. We had booked the "Park and Fly" package through online travel website and were told that this was supposed to be booked through the hotel directly and not through online travel website . We paid the extra to leave the car there and left our cigarette lighters in the car because we were flying out of Newark Airport to Chicago. Upon arriving back at the hotel, our commerative Zippo lighter was missing from the car. It has no value except for sentimental but we thought we could trust whoever we left our keys with to the car. Also, the A/C in the room was terrible on a very warm night and the restaurant had very poor customer service. We would never recommend this hotel to anyone nor will we ever stay there again.
Okay if most of your time will be spent out.

The front desk was helpful. Their shuttle drivers were prompt and friendly. There was a fee to be shuttled but it was low compared to cab fees. We were up early and didnt return to the hotel until the evening as we were sightseeing in NY so the hotel was okay just to sleep in. There were no restaurants too close. There were some within walking distance but you had to walk along side the freeway to get there, so we didnt risk that. The hotel had a restaurant but the variety was limited and the prices were a little high. All in all the hotel was satisfactory for a few days.

Set in the midst of a seedy industrial area; clean rooms, good bathroom; excellent bussing to other areas; priced right for area; inconvenient food service on Sundays.
Good value close to airport

This hotel is located in an industrial area close to the airport, so don't expect any restaurants nearby. The hotel cafe is adequate for a quick meal, Shuttle service is prompt and runs every 1/2 hour to the airport, and shuttles to Newark Penn Station and New Jersey Mall can be arranged for $12.50 for 1-4 people. Rooms are clean and comfortable with microwave, mini frig and coffee maker. I would not hesitate to stay here if you have a flight in or out of Newark.
