Pros:

Very clean and quiet

Cons:

Hotel does not always honor the reservation I made through you. I get moved to a different type of room. They charge more for an accessible room. Because only an accessible suite is available, which costs more.

Lovely find not far from Newark
Pros:

I ended up here after having a flight canceled and needing somewhere near Newark airport to sleep for a night. The hotel was such a delightful surprise! The staff was so nice, and they upgraded me to a huge suite with a full kitchen, living room, walk-in closet, etc. They also offer a free airport shuttle, but if the shuttle isn't running when you need it, they'll call (and pay for) a Lyft for you - super valuable extra!

Cons:

The hotel isn't super close to the airport (20 minutes away by car), but with the free shuttle it didn't really bother me.

Pros:

I like to room and the staff.

Cons:

The noise level at the location. The guests were very loud in the hallways. The price I paid for the room should have given me more relaxation not anxiety due to loud noises throughout the night.

Friendly staff and clean
Pros:

The staff were friendly and polite. The shuttle driver went out of his way to help get you and from the airport as quickly as possible.

Cons:

The breakfast started late, the bacon and potatoes barely cooked and I think the milk was spoiled. It had a funny taste. The only positive about breakfast was the coffee and water.
