"It was different. Not in a bad way but very high tech. The way you just hit first the room number and it tell you what elevator to take. The only thing for me was there was a lout alarm that went off tell you not to take elevators but head to lobby. High sense of urgency no one saying what was going on until you stood there for a bit. Then when they came back on the intercom it was a soft spoken false alarm. Still didn’t know what it was about."
"10/10 would recommend. Felt like we were at a resort. Stumbled upon this hotel on our way home from traveling for work/ roadtrip and this was perfect. The atmosphere made this feel like a resort with the setup of the center area of this hotel. Great breakfast, bar was good and food good there as well. Room was unexpected huge with 2 rooms and we enjoyed the hotel gym along with pool and hottub. Great way to end our trip and get a little R&R for ourselves. "
"Overall, great value, convenient location, and safe area.
The airport shuttle/Lyft was such a huge help for our family that had staggered flights arriving due to weather delays. The rooms were in good condition, however, it was easy for elderly to accidentally get confused and end up on the floor under renovations. It's fine for guests without mobility issues makinf a u-turn onto the correct floor.
The complimentary was OK--a great bonus. The coffee machine in the lobby was amazing!
On our first days, there were people lounging outside the back of the hotel near the rennovatiom floor. They were on a swivel office chair on the parking lot hotel sidewalk for hours. I'm not sure if they were guests or people who were accessing the renovation area left unattended.
Front desk staff and shuttle driver were all above excellent during every interaction. We were in town for a funeral, so every extra smile and hotel cookie was deeply apprectiated. The shuttle driver even baked/prepped the cookies!
The gym was a standard on the road gym. It's great that it was open 24/7 to just go whenever others weren't there--it could get tight very easily. The free weights were a compact, combo set that is not typically seen in a lot of places. Great idea, but easily mistaken for a kid's toy until you pick it up. Happy the gym was well maintained with ample cleaning supplies.
We love how guests were gathering in the lobby area tables as if it were a home away from home.

"The hotel's best assets are its downtown location, close to most Newark sites of interest, and its adjoining and inexpensive parking lot. The service is also excellent, and the hotel is relatively new and pleasant to stay at."
