Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott, Newark

Pretty nice place! The staff was nice as well! If you want to save some money on this hotel make sure to book it at SweetHotelDeals. N e t I got a whole night for free by booking it there

The distance of this hotel from all EWR terminals is about the length of a football field. If it wasn't for the barriers that run the perimeters of the short term parking lots, you could very easily walk to this hotel from the airport, which makes it a bit ironic that the evening of my arrival I waited almost 25 minutes for the hotel courtesy shuttle while looking at the hotel and thinking that I could have walked there in about 3 minutes if not for that barriers. Still, having arrived at almost 1am with a 9am appointment in Manhattan the next day, it was great to be able to just go to my hotel, check in, and be done with it for the evening. The entire staff--front desk, room service, housekeeping, shuttle drivers, etc.--was extraordinarily friendly and helpful. My room was very clean and well appointed, if a tad small ( typical in the NYC metropolitan area, so you can't really hold that against this particular hotel as you will find pretty much the same at any hotel within 30 minutes of Manhattan). One minor issue I had with the room setup is the bathroom. It faces a full length mirror, so unless you have the body of a supermodel, you have to close the door in order to avoid being forced to stair at a somewhat awkward reflection. Wi-fi internet is $12.95 for 24 hours usage, which I think is outrageous, particularly since a less expensive or free wired option was not available as an alternative. Those satisfied with accessing the internet via a smart phone or tablet through their mobile service will likely find this a non-issue, though. My only real complaint with this hotel is the same one that I have with almost all Marriotts--that you practically have to take out a second mortgage on your home in order to be able to afford to eat on the premises. One evening, after arriving late--and starved--to my room, I paid a room service fee of $50 for a 12" cheese pizza and a half bottle of wine. Food costs, compounded by the fact that there are no less expensive alternatives nearby, can be an issue if you intend to spend all or the majority of your time at the hotel. However, if you're only planning to sleep there at night and visit Manhattan during the day, you will find plenty of affordable alternatives and won't even have to consider this dilemma. One key convenience that I did enjoy was that I was able to use the hotel's courtesy shuttle to go to the airport and, from there, take the airtrain into Manhattan (Penn Station). It costs $25 round trip and takes about 30 minutes, which is the primary reason that I rated this location a 3 rather than 4. But if you're only staying for a short time and prefer a hotel away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan--or just don't want to have to take out a small loan to pay for a hotel while in the NYC area--it's kind of ideal, definitely user friendly. One concern that I had in deciding whether or not to book here was the noise from the airport. I feared I would hear planes coming and going at all hours. But I heard nothing and I had a room facing the airport. If this is what you fear, it's not a problem. All in all, I thought it was a great hotel. It definitely met my needs for the three nights I was there. One word of advice if, like me, you're an avid debit card user: Upon check-in, the hotel will debit the entire cost of your stay plus $30 per night for incidentals. I'm used to this. So not only did it not bother me, but I anticipated it. However, for those who are not accustomed to being assessed the full amount of their stay up front, take note.

I stayed at this hotel and it was a nightmare. I had to pay for parking and there was a burnt glass in the room. There was only 1 sugar for the coffee anf the Holiday Inn is a much better stay than this Marriott. I stayed there once in 2005 and had a much better experience. Also, the hotel continued to charge my credit card after I left, to the point I felt as if I was being robbed. I stayed there 1 night and will never stay there again as long as I live. This hotel gives Newark an even worse reputation. Please select another hotel chain.

Even though the Mariott is Right At Newark. TRULY NOT worth 300.00 THe room is TINY the NOISE from AC kept us up all night. The beds are not that special. The COFFEE in the morning Mariott should be ashamed, a paper cup. and NOT coffe downstairs for the people catching a 5 am flight- The Resturant in the hotel, Just as expensive as the night stay. We wil be going back to the Marriott courtyard, MUCH better stay, and heck 200.00 cheaper!

Other then Ms. Soha, who had an answer for everything, and the guest was always wrong not her, the staff were friendly but not knowledgable. For example, we asked directions to Yankee Stadium, they gave us directions to Shea Stadium, thank heaven for nice people who directed us the right way so we had to then go from shea to yankee stadium and was late for the game. Then, after reading some of the reviews, we called about the parking and they told us parking was free and when we checked out a 40.00 dollar fee was added and when questioned, the answer i got was i must of called the wrong hotel (which we didnt), so they then told us how they were using employees from their other hotels and they didn't know the policies, you would think that before you put them behind the desk to attend to the guests they would know the policies but i guess the guests are supposed to know more then the employees. It wasn't the money it was the principle but according to Ms Soha, It wasn't enough that the employee told me, i should have read it on their site. Well, I did and the site i was reading didn't have it on it.....but, the guest was wrong again and basically according to her it was too damn bad, they already got their money and she wasn't going to do anything about it. Shame on her, she may not be but I am. It's the principle, nt the money!!!!!!!

On arrival to this hotel i was shocked to notice that the internet pictures were highly jazzed up to make this hotel look nicer than it actually is. The room we were given was dirty and full of feathers from the bedding. They did not provide shower gel in the bathroom so we had to request some, the chamber maid was so rude and unhelpful that we were given a free bottle of wine,brekfast vouchers and a free night at the hotel from the managment of a way of appology for the way in which we were treated on our 6 day stay here! I will not be staying at this hotel again.

We were going to a concert at the new Prudential center in Newark and chose the Marriott to stay at. The hotel was hard to find a lot of turns off of the turnpike and after the concert the cab driver got lost getting back. The equipment in the fitness center was old and rusty wasn't what I expected for a Marriott. I don't think I would ever stay there again.

They were organized, clean, and just on top of any request that was had. If we ever have another event in the Newark area we will definetly book it there.

I stayed at this hotel three times in 2006, all have been just one night stay. The rooms are OK for business travelers, typical of hotels near the airport. My problem is with the quality of the food they serve in the hotel restaurant: it's terrible. But, since there are no restaurants near the hotel that is within walking distance, and if you don't have a car, you're stuck with eating at the restaurant in the hotel. The food is awful and the restaurant servers are poorly trained. During my most recent stay in September 2006, as before, I ate dinner at the hotel restaurant. I ordered fish and chips, salad, and beer. During the night, I had an excruciating stomach pain, and had to get up repeatedly to use the toilet. I am an experienced traveler, and had traveled extensively in the US and abroad. I don�t recall ever having problem with eating at the hotel restaurant. I wrote and complained to the Marriott. One of the managers at the hotel responded indicating he investigated and found NO problem with the way food is prepared in the restaurant. I will not go back to hotel in the future. Very Unhappy Customer
