Holiday Inn Newark Airport

Very nice, updated room. However, the road noise in our room was a bit excessive. Had trouble sleeping...

Good customer service. Note: the shuttle takes you to the air train, not directly to the terminal. Parking package options too

Newark airport area is possibly one of the most confusing areas around, that being said it was mostly easy to get to and very close to the airport. The rooms were clean, bright and airy... seemingly newly renovated. The on site restaurant was slow and overpriced but the food was really good. The front desk and the shuttle service were friendly and helpful. All in all a very pleasant surprise and I will definitely be going back when in the airport area again.

I would love to give this hotel a 5 star because our room was very clean and the price for that area was great! BUT I really didn't like there was no microwave or fridge in the room. We brought food to the hotel thinking they would have one. We ended up getting a cooler,went to get ice and found out only floor 4&6 have the ice. It was kind of a inconvenience. We brushed it off went to sleep then the ALARM woke us at 4 AM ( we didn't set it) lol scared the crap out of me! Upon leaving I held the elevator for a worker named Wanda and when she got off I told her to have a good day and she totally snubbed me and never said a word to me. I get hotel work on a Sunday is CRAZY but as a holiday inn employee myself I would suggest kinder staff. If she was on my floor I wouldn't have tipped her as generously as I did the young lady on 5th floor that was however VERY kind and did a great job. She worked July 4-5th on 5th floor wish I got her name. Other than that it was great!

I thought it was great for the price I payed! I was expecting the worst from a hotel in NJ but actually got a very nice, contemporary room with flat screen TV, computer desk, and a generously large bathroom.
Ikea is about a 5 minute drive and if you wait until 9:30am then you can get great breakfast breakfast there for about $3. You also have free parking with 24 manned security at right on the parking lot of the hotel. The only disappointment I had was that it is not very close to NYC especially if you plan to use public transportation.
