Top Kean University Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Newark Airport

8/10 Good

"I don’t have. Thanks."

Ritz Motel

8/10 Good

"Updated motel, conveniently located, nice staff, helpful."

Hilton Newark Airport

8/10 Good

"The room was fine for the 8 hours I was there but it’s not great. The front desk staff weren’t exactly friendly, but not rude."

Newark Hansbury Multi Level House

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean place the lady in charge is very friendly and respectful"

Holiday Inn Express Newark Airport Elizabeth by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful, clean room"

Essence Express Elizabeth EWR Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room- Friendly"

Crowne Plaza Newark Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Mi prima dio una pisada anda la cuca bien roja y ahorita anda en Walmart comprando vaselina"

Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room, nice hotel did the job. Front desk staff were a bit cold and grumpy. Limited towels in the room"

GG Rest Inn

8/10 Good

"I read reviews, so had low expectations. Given that, this place was fine for my needs. Room was clean, no bugs. Decent guy running the place. Would have appreciated a towel, but was 3 am by time I realized there was none, so didn't ask. TV remote same; couldn't find a switch on the box. Though room was clean enough, cleaner smell was heavy; window didn't open, so I had to open door for a good while to circulate air. Road noise is a lot as folks said, but that doesn't bother me. Address, Maple but actual entrance facing US1, plus changing names of motel, can be confusing for rideshare drivers, so be ready to clarify location; my first got close then canceled. There are motels closer to EWR, but this one was cheaper; however, for future reference, it might be possible to walk from EWR to Motel 6. Bus here to Rest Inn was tricky, but just $3 +transfer or mile walk, and Uber from EWR wanted $70."
