Top Rutgers University Newark Hotel Reviews

Meadowlands Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is good, staff is very friendly, and definitely clean room"

Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"very good hotel in a great location"

Hampton Inn Newark Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff—front desk and shuttle was extremely helpful and pleasant. Property is a bit older but is being renovated and is clean. Great place for those red eyes out of EWR."

Crowne Plaza Newark Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to airport, free shuttle easy to find using Air Train from baggage claim. Check in a little rough. I prepaid my stay and was a bit confused when they asked for a credit card. They still pre charged $100 on my card as a credit hold. It wasn’t processed after checking out. I had to manually write in personal data on a form despite booking online, prepaying. Be prepared for slow check in process if there’s a line. I suspect this was more of a security issue to capture your image during check in. Virtually everything is done online for efficiency. Other than checking ID at checkin there was no reason to fill forms and swipe a card for incidentals that did not occur. If you use Expedia verses booking directly with service provider you will not get any credit with their programs. I find booking through Expedia is more convenient and you can insure your stay stay against unknowns."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Newark Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Smart choice near Newark. Good value, very clean and pleasant, helpful Staff."
