This hotel is ok, no more no less. The room smelled of stale smoke, as did the lifts. The restaurant serves below average basic food that's wildly over priced. The reception staff are helpful but not friendly. But the shuttle is very dependable, every 30 mins ( max ) The air con works really well. The housekeeping was impeccable. So... more

We stayed five days in this hotel. This was a terrible place to stay. It was very old. The carpet was wet and dirty even after cleaning crew done their job. There were too many ants in the room. Last day the restroom ceiling was leaking. Don't book this hotel!!! YOU WILL REGRET. :( more

After causing me to miss my connection to LAX, Continental put me up in this absolute hovel of a hotel. Everything was filthy. The bedspread, sheets, and upholstered furniture had streaks of dirt and grime on them. The desk and side tables were sticky and gross. The shower had hair and stuck on gunk in it. And the carpet -... more

I would never return to this hotel again, recommend you spend a few extra dollars a night and stay at a hotel that does not cheat its own guests. I wanted to go into downtown Newark, and specifically asked the front desk attendant to call me a taxi. A few minutes later a car from a local limousine service showed... more

I am so upset about our stay, i have stayed at other HJ over the years and this one was awful. The beds were like sleeping on plywood. The internet service was down the whole time. The atm machine didn't work. Called and asked for more towels everyday and was given attitude. The coffee maker in the room didn't work... more

For the price we paid (USD 52 + tax), we got a room with two double beds. While the furnishings were somewhat old, the room and bathroom were clean. No problems with housekeeping. Laundry, vending machines, and convenience store were helpful amenities too. Restaurant staff was attentive; our server remembered my choice of decaf, and that I liked my scrambled... more

We were booked into this hotel by Continental airlines after we missed our connection flight (Our plane had to make an emergency landing). The problems started when we were getting the shuttle bus from the airport, after phoning 3 times and waiting over an hour and half we eventually made it to the hotel . When another shuttle bus from... more

Pay more, but stay somewhere else. Dirty, no lounge or bar, telephone barely works. In a remote location, very hard to find. Restaurant barely acceptable. It took a New York limo driver half an hour to find the dump. more

5 of us stayed at the Howard Johnson for New years for 3 days. The room was clean, spacious and the Wi-Fi was excellent. The shuttle service is quiet good and if you don't want to spend a fortune on parking in NYC, you can take the shuttle to the airport and take the subway from there. The restuarant attached... more
