Top Downtown Newark Hotel Reviews

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Nice staff"

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

8/10 Good

"The rooms and overall facility are definitely dated. I was surprised to find the bathroom fixtures to be especially older and a window in the shower. However, given the age of the property, the non-modern bits of the decor did not seem old, so much as just dated. The room was extremely clean and the location (and views) were spectacular. Staff was courteous and professional! I would highly recommend this property."

Moxy NYC Times Square

8/10 Good

"Great location, clean and comfortable. Elevators were a bit annoying to navigate and it was almost excessively trendy like the kid trying too hard to be cool. There were a lot of sexual innuendos that made me wonder if I was supposed to be there because we were there for a girls weekend. Overall, I would stay there again but not with my kids."
