Holiday Inn, Newark

We went to NYC for the Thanksgiving Holiday and to see a relative perform at a NY theater the night before. Because we booked the trip at the last minute, and were visiting during a busy holiday for NYC, we had a hard time finding any hotels with rooms available that were within a reasonable price. Because of the location and price of this hotel, we had very low expectations and were prepared for the worst. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived and found a beautiful hotel with clean rooms and great service. I have done much traveling and have stayed at many exceptional hotels. I would rate this one up with the best of those. It was very attractive, our room was very nice and clean. We ate one meal at the hotel restaurant and found it to be good, with a great atmosphere and friendly service. We did have a problem with the toilet in our room when we arrived......we called the front desk and within 5 minutes someone came and fixed it. On another occasion we needed more towels. Again, we phoned the front desk and within minutes, our towels were delivered. In addition, the complimentary shuttle was great, and it took us directly to the train station at the airport. Everything was very convenient. I had also read some reviews about people having a hard time finding the hotel. We printed directions from Yahoo, and had absolutely no problem finding this location. I can't give this hotel enough praise, and we will definitely be back next time we visit NYC!

Excellent hotel if you are visiting New York. A little bit hard to find but well worth it. Just remember P4 means Parking Structure 4, not Parking Level 4. You have to take the tram to get there to catch the hotel shuttle. Free shuttle service to the airport every 15 minutes. A short bus ride and you are in Manhattan. Clean and good service. Breakfast buffett available. Will stay there again on my next trip to the Big Apple. Cecil Tan Los Angeles, CA Sept. 2006

This is a great hotel. One can go back to the hotel and take the free shuttle to the Jersey Mall to shop or take and express bus to downtown NYC. It also saves money. Great food and shopping nearby. This is much easier than using the other NY airports. I do this about 2 times a year. I always use hotel.com.

the comfort of this hotel comes from the proximity to the airport (five minutes from Newark Airport),in the restaurants the food was good and average price, the room seem to a bit old and need update or renewing....tv viewing for movies was hard to figure out...for the rest it was ok

The room was not what we reserved. We reserved a king bed and were given a standard double bed. We were late arriving due to airline problems and then had to call the hotel three times to get the shuttle to pick us up. However, the invoice they gave us was for less than the amount Yahoo quoted. I still do not know what I had to pay for the room.
