NY short stay best option

For a short stay in NY, it is the best option, they offer shuttle to the train station that puts you in Manhattan in 25 minutes, the hotel quality is better than any hotel you are going to get for this price in Manhattan. I had to stay overnight in Newark for a connecting flight on the next day, and I went to Manhattan on the train, and took it back on the evening. Cannot beat that convenience, plus you are close to the airport. The hotel quality was excellent.
Location, location, location.

My wife and I travelled to Newark on vacation and decided to stay by the airport thinking it would be more convenient so we could forego the rental car. Mistake #1. Though the hotel itself was nicely located on airport grounds, absolutely nothing was even remotely close. If you wanted a grocery/convenience store, forget it. If you wanted "fast-food", you need to take the (free) shuttle to the airport and eat at the food courts. Getting to Manhattan was a bit inconvenient: option 1 take shuttle to airport (free), connect to airTrain to rail station (free), take NJTransit train to Newark Penn Station ($7.75 one-way), transfer to PATH to NY ($1.75). Option 2 take taxi to Newark Penn Station ($20, taxi does not turn on the meter for some reason and charges a flat rate), PATH to NY ($1.75). Option 3 take hotel shuttle to airport (free), take pubic bus #62 from Terminal A to Newark Penn Station - 20 minute ride ($1.35), PATH to NY ($1.75). Or you can take a combination of the 3.
As for the hotel itself, it is very clean, staff is friendly, indoor pool was a nice touch along with a pretty good fitness center (both closes late - 11PM). For a hotel in the middle of the airport, you cannot hear a single plane takeoff/land! What you can hear is the screaming kids in the hallway at 1, 2, and 3am (called security many times, nothing was done). If I had to go back to Newark for visits to NYC I'd probably NOT stay there for the sake of convenience, I'd probably stay near the PATH (Hilton Newark Penn, or Courtyard in Jersey City both adjacent to PATH and forego the extra travel between EWR and the PATH stations.

This is a "fine" airport hotel. You can be in downtown Newark in a matter of about 15 to 20 minutes and about 20.00 cab fare. If you simply need airport convenience, then this hotel is fine. The food is great in the bar. Particularly make a good Reuben sandwich. The "midrange" restaurant is just okay. For the price, get bar food. I haven't eaten in the "upscale" restaurant.
Clean rooms, decent ammenities.

This hotel is definitely a bargain. It's clean ,check in was smooth , and best of all was the room. The bed was so comfortable and the sheets were so fluffy it was everything i hoped for. the only thing i didnt like was the shuttle service it was at least 45 minutes. and the restaurants are way too expensive. the sports bar was nice. if you want a bite to eat stop off before you get back to your room. overall I definitely highly recommend this hotel.
