We missed our connection so made the mistake of booking here just to stay close to the airport. Smelled like old gym socks and mold in the bathroom, toilets, and elsewhere. Carpet was filthy with old stains from leaks on the walls and ceilings. Not the absolute worst place I've stayed since starting business travel in 73 but at least... More

Due to my work in New Jersey, and the fact that I live in Michigan, I stay here at least 3 times a month. I really enjoy staying in a place where all the hotel employees remember me, and greet me with a sincere "hello!" I also think that the meals they serve at the"Ambrosia Cafe" are tasty!

Although the pricing is ok, I still felt horribly out of place in this hotel. Far away from anything good, it is located between long-term parking lots, multiple highways and low flying zones of the nearby airport. Rooms are musky and the Ambrosius restaurant is far from cosy. Would not go there again.

Exactly what i've wrote in my title. If you are like me and had over 12 hours to wait before you went back home, i would recommend the Howard Johnson. There is no way i would stay there for a week, as it is in the middle of know-where. Although the hotel does run a shuttle bus where you can... More

We stayed here for one night April '12. The reason we chose it was because it offered an easy reasonably priced shuttle van into Manhattan from the motel plus a park n fly option. Parking in NYC is terribly expensive, especially for a week which is how long we were staying. Usually one stays overnight and flies out the next... More

During my relaxing stay at the Howard Johnson's hotel at Newark Airport, the room was spotless, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was affordable and delicious. I would highly recommend this property if traveling out of Newark airport or visiting the NYC area. Inspection Supervisor United Airlines

I stayed at the hotel for one night to pick up a relative from EWR airport. The rate is reasonable. Location is nice. It has a restaurant and a tiny grocery inside, which are convenient. Staffs are overall nice and welcoming. Considering the above merits, the dirtiness and smell inside rooms are tolerable. Flights are noisy. We had a broken... More
