I stayed at the Westin again whilst visiting the area on business.

So when business took me back to the area, I had no hesitation at all and booked myself into the Westin.

I had the opportunity to stay at the Westin for a night as I had business in the area.

We utlitized their business area, fitness room and even had time to relax in their pool.These areas were always kept up and again, everytime we ran into their staff, they were always helpful.

The location is terrific if you have business in the area.

If you are doing business in the area or need a nice place to stay for your trip to NYC, look no further.

Charged my card $997 first night and not even 12 hours later charged my card an additional $552!!

Platinum members are only entitled $10 breakfast credit for the overpriced snacks.

They over charged my stay by $100 and never gave me a bill so I had to find out on my credit card statement.

I will ve charged for this operation by the bank and wont be refund of this tax.

Note, the unlimited MTA card does not work on the Path, so you do have to pay a separate fare on the Jersey side.

Watch out your credit card bill a few days after you check out the room.

Next, I was charged $5+taxes for Package Handling for a very small parcel.

There is nothing about it that commands a price, muchless a $25+ charge.

However, the metro card doesn't work with PATH so you have to pay an additional $2.75 per trip.

Furthermore, the hotel adds an 18% "service charge" on its meals, then charges STATE TAX on the service charge.

No charge up front,  my card was supposed to be charged at check in.

I had to return to reception 2 times and my card keys just didn't work.

The card reader system is outdated and I got locked out of my room 3 times in a week, two of those times I did not have an ID on me and had to be escorted up (which is good when it comes to security)

SPG platinum - did not get any upgrades in my 2-3 visits here. Staff - 1.5/5
Room - 2.5/5
Amenities - 3/5
Location - 3.5/5
Price - 2.5/5 ( If within the $250-$300 range)

I said I only had 1 card, and the 2 dates were written on the back.

Also gift shop workers are rude and for all charges you need 5 dollar minimum.

but keep a very sharp eye on what they charge you cause even a correct bill at check-out does not mean they will not attempt to charge you more later on.

Then I had to go to the front desk twice for hidden fees, once for internet charges on my bill and once for being charged for valet parking for 2 nights when we did not valet.

Unlike any Westin I have stayed at before, there is no power or AC until you put your key card in a special slot.

My wife complained to reception and to their credit , they relocated the guest and her annoying pet to another location , albeit in the same hotel

This is an excellent hotel , and I find it a bit incongruous that they have this policy.

Aside from the restaurant pricing, I have one complaint: Westin charges $9.95 per day for Internet connectivity.

My room had a fantastic view of lower Manhattan.

I had a wonderful view of lower Manhattan and the suite worked beautifully as I was able to host two colleagues after  leaving the office.

Beautiful view of lower Manhattan, especially at night from Batello's restaurant.

For a special getaway long weekend we booked one of the Westin's City View rooms and used it as a base for visiting sights in lower Manhattan.

Room is spacious and has a nice partial view of Hudson River and lower Manhattan.

I had a traditional king room (#412) and had a spectacular view of the Freedom Tower in lower Manhattan.

This could be a good place to stay for a visit to New York City as well as you can take a ferry ride into lower Manhattan from here.

though we booked thru hotels.com, we got a great room with a partial view of WTC one and lower Manhattan, this was awesome!

The view of the freedom tower and lower Manhattan from our room was amazing.

Plenty of places right by the hotel for dinner and quick walk to train into Lower Manhattan if you want to have dinner in the city.

We stayed on the 17th floor with a great view of lower Manhattan.

Rooms had a great view of lower Manhattan, they were clean, modern, very comfortable and well-appointed.

Plenty of windows to enjoy the amazing view of lower Manhattan.

The hotel is across from a marina and from lower Manhattan - great walking area and view!

Short walking distance to a beautiful view of lower Manhattan.

The best surprise bonus was it was only a few minutes walk to the PATH station, and it was a short, inexpensive, easy ride to the center of NYC or Lower Manhattan.

Modern, remarkably clean, and located in a upscale, safe neighborhood directly across the Hudson from Lower Manhattan.

Room #700 (& similar suites like 800, 900, etc) have 6 big windows facing lower Manhattan, a very roomy bath with 2 vanities, a shower & an awesome 2-person tub.

There are great views of the Hudson river and lower Manhattan from the east side of the property.

The views from our room of the Freedom Tower and Lower Manhattan were simply AMAZING!

The property is one block away from the MTA Path Station which made our tourist commute very easy.

The location is close to the PATH train with easy access to Manhatten if you need it.

Hotel has a great location, accessible to restaurants, River Walk, grocery and liquor stores, the PATH to Manhattan, and is wider open and seemingly safer and newer than some of the more dodgy areas of Joizey City.

The PATH can take you all the way to 33rd St, NYC.

It was so close to the Path train so pretty quick ride into NYC.

The location is excellent for walks on the water and the PATH Train to NYC.

Path train for access to NYC is right across the street.

Inches away from the PATH train system & 20 minutes away from the New Jersey international airport!

The Path is right across the street, and there are numerous shops and restaurants nearby as well.

We will definitely be back though, given it’s convience to office and PATH station.

The hotel is close to the PATH station, easy access to the city.

It is so convenient to a PATH station and a snap to get into the Big Apple.

The hotel was close to the path, easy to get into Downtown NY

great location, directly across from the PATH service to take you into the City.

It was only a block walk from the Newport PATH station, and if you don't intend on spending late nights in Manhattan, the inconvenience of using the PATH to commute into Manhattan is worth it.

The PATH subway goes into NYC every 5 minutes and is quick and easy.

If you want to save some money stay here and take the subway (PATH) into Manhattan.

It's a short, safe 5 minute walk to the Path train which brings you to WTC or Chelsea/Greenwich Village stops in 20 minutes.

The Westin location is only two blocks from the Newport PATH station to take the subway into Manhattan.

It was only a one night stay for business in the area.

This hotel is located in business area and near by the main NJ Turn Pike.

I will stay here again when in the area for business.

Would stay here next time I am in the area for business.

I travel to the area often for business and have tried all the marriott properties in the area including the full service hotels further away  and I was extremely pleased with the hotel.

From the pleasant, professional reception I received at check in to the friendliness at the bar and restaurant this hotel is a great choice when doing business in the area.

Due to business in the area, I stay at the Renaissance 2-3 weeks a month.

The welcome desk staff, did not even looked me in the eyes while checking me in, she was cold and not helpful at all.

but by then we had all taken a cold shower.

Ordering coffee in the morning comes with a delivery fee of $5 and the coffee is cold.

"They like it cold and it overwhelmed the system". What???!!!!

however, on Friday and Saturday, was much too cold; Sunday, the rooms were much too warm.

but it was extremely cold and windy so we just turned the heat up.

I like to sleep in a very cold room at night,

For a renaissance hotel there shouldn't be a COLD POOL!

We came back to our room to find a tray of chocolate chip cookies and two glasses of iced cold milk for the boys.

The disappointment the second morning was that all of our potatoes were ice cold.

Finally they found some other company, Eddies shuttle they called said 2 minutes and I was able to get a ride with them after 2 hours of waiting in the cold.

waffles too light, juice warm and coffee cold.

Concierge lounge was close in the weekend and marriott elite members can get free breakfast buffet in the restaurant and free bottles of water at front desk.

I am a Platnium member and since the concierge lounge was closed on the weekend, they provided a free breakfast in their restaurant Finchs.

Concierge Lounge for Platinum Members didn't have a good breakfast so went to Starbucks next door at Courtyard Marriott.

Also, concierge lounge closed whole weekend and no benefits or recognition of status other than free breakfast.

Concierge lounge was awesome with good food and great service!

The ladies in the concierge lounge were terrific also.

Debbie and Michelle in the Concierge Lounge are exceptional at making you feel welcome.

If one is a higher tier Marriott Rewards member, a concierge lounge is available for breakfast, evening snacks, and simple business transactions like faxing, emailing, and holding small business meetings [2 to 4 people].

The concierge lounge offered a special breakfast & a special light supper because of the Super Bowl.

They have a concierge lounge on the 9th floor that offers breakfast, snacks and beverages.

Debra makes us feel welcome at our home away from home on the 9th Floor Concierge Lounge (key access required).

Thank goodness I had access to the Concierge Lounge.

We hardly slept because they are so noisy.

After getting in my room noticed how noisy it is, so I called to ask to change and the answer was a straight “no”.

I had a do not disturb door hanger on my door and was disturbed anyway.

The air conditioner was very loud and rattled so loud when it was cycling off.

If I have any criticism at all, it's that it's directly off of the expressway, so traffic can be heard from some of the rooms.

!Felt like a 5* hotel breakfest.Muffins,toasts,fruits,eggs,bacon,oatmeal,patatoes,etc..The bus that takes you to Manhattan is near the hotel (2 min walk) 9$ roundtrip for adults,Swimming pool/Fitness center were closed for maintenance.Only thing that bothered me was that the AC makes a lot of noise during the night.

It is very noisy being sandwiched between 24 hour
     Traffic highways.

If your room faces the freeway, prepare to have lots of noise, especially from motorcycles on the highway.

We were on the 3rd floor facing away from the front and didn't hear much noise from cars so I would suggest a room on the backside.

Only negative thing is that you can hear the traffic since is right next to the highway.

My room was on the 6th floor facing the highway and while I could hear highway noise from inside the room it wasn’t terrible enough where i wanted to move.

but for some reason this one was exceptionally noisy.

The only suggestion i have is to increase either the window thickness or curtain density to cut out the highway noise.

Those with noise sensitivity could be bothered.

The hotel is placed just near a junction with an expressway so was a little noisy

however, the incessant noise from roads on both sides of the hotel made it near impossible to sleep.

It was clear he was apologetic and wanted to help.

The front desk staff were really not interested in customer service or answering the few questions we had.

The staff kept bringing out hot food to the buffet.

but as per the staff, this hotel never had.

The manager was kind enough to immediately give us another room, with an even better view.

Hotel was clean and hotel staff were friendly.

Check in on the app was easy and the staff greeted me as I came in.

Staff was super friendly , very accommodating.

The receptionist called her manager who said he would help us,

But what made the stay amazing was the staff!

My work team met up for drinks before and after dinner at Finch’s and were pleasantly surprised with Mo!

I lugged all my belongings back downstairs to request a new room and the front desk staff did not apologize, did not greet me with any empathy and just gave me a new room with not one comment said.

What a great hotel and the staff were fantastic.

The staff and customer service at this hotel is absolutely top notch.

The staff met all of my and my coworkers needs which was very helpful.

I am the CEO of a large company with its US headquarter close by to the hotel; I will make sure the hotel gets de listed for our employees!

The hotel staff are awesome and are doing their best under these conditions,

Everyone has d the staff was friendly and helpful.

- They have a lounge in the lobby which looked nice

The lobby is very modern and nicely decorated, rooms are huge and comfortable, bathrooms are really spacious.

The lobby is very modern and well done with nice finishes.

The lobby, restrooms, ballrooms were nice, comfortable, clean.

However, the bathroom sink was clogged the three days I was there which happened that I didn't get any cleaning service during my whole stay, which I let it pass just to test the service.

The outlet in the bathroom is so old and also doesn’t work.

Absolutely no bathrooms can gain access without a hotel key or someone to buzz you in, which are great precautionary measures in case a shady person actually does get in!

but ancient with the towel rails weirdly arranged around the toilet bowl.

Could hear someone vomiting through vent in bathroom, large ants in bedding for sofa bed!

- checkin staff was sneezing, dripping, going thru a box of tissues, touching my credit card, ID, phone.

Not welcoming staff, not very clean, lack of essential amenities; towels, soap, toilet paper etc.

but the bathroom is very small and hard to negotiate around the door (pictures of the bedroom and bathroom are attached).

My only complaint was there were 2 pillows,  1 hand towel, 1 washcloth, and two bath towels.

Bathroom a little small compared to size of room,

Wish housekeeping provided more towels and toiletries given the reduced housekeeping schedule.

but the shower head did not work, so we had to stick to baths and rinsing our hair under the faucet.

It would take quite a while for them to drain.

If you don’t mind looking around for a maid to get cleaned towels, toilet paper, and toiletries, then this hotel is for you.

Room was dirty, with a false eyelash on the bathroom counter and brown stains on the carpet.

And also what appeared to be blood splashed on the bathroom door.

Room was worn out with broken shower control.

I stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Newark Penn Station in mid-May 2021 for some business in the area.

Location of this hotel to Penn Station makes it the best place to do business from in the area.

If you need to stay in the area for business or for an event at the Prudential Center this is the hotel to choose.

This Hilton is fantastic whether for leisure or business in the immediate area or for travel into New York City.

Would stay here again if in the area on business.

The hotel itself is located in a Business area of Newark.

This is a great place to stay when visiting NY, especially during the Christmas holiday when rates in Manhattan are sky high.

The location of this hotel to PATH is a major plus (you can get to manhattan in ~30min for $2.75)

Great location to NJ Penn for easy access to Manhattan.

It’s a convenient walk to Penn Station and only 20 minutes into Manhattan.

We took the train into Manhattan twice, and that involved another 5 minute walk across the street!

Location was good to catch PATH train to Manhattan.

You could also get to World Trade Centre subway station from Newark penn station changing at journal square then catching the next train to WTC,this again is for  $2.75 
Pennsylvania station on Manhattan is also available to Journal square

I traveled into Manhattan most days and it’s a 20-25 minute journey.

It was great after a long day of walking Manhattan!!! !

however, keep in mind that it takes good 40 - 60 mins to get to NYC/Manhattan from Penn Station.

Only a twenty minute train ride into Manhattan, and at about half the price of a comparable hotel there.

I’ve stayed in Manhattan at various types of Hotels and this one is an excellent choice!

Whereas the location of the hotel has it pro's and con's (pro it is 2 mins from Penn Station where you can board a PATH to WTC or to Manhattan 33rd St, and you also have some shop's and a bar/grill, it's con is also the location.

Travel to Manhattan can take as little as twenty minutes.

This is a perfect location to get in and out of the city, without paying Manhattan prices.

This hotel is a cheap alternative for Manhattan hotels.

I had a great salad at the restaurant, and you can access the NJT or Path trains to Manhattan without stepping outside.

Made travel into Manhattan simple and easy.

We were able to cross the pedestrian bridge and hope onto a train in Manhattan with little trouble.

It is walking distance of the Prudential Center.

train station next door, walking distance to the prudential center, plenty of parking, validated for hotel guests

Interconnected via walkways to other businesses and firms and close to The Prudential Center.

The location, close to the Prudential Center was great, specially because most of the way, we could go indoors.

Definitely recommended if you want to be in walking distance of the Prudential Center

It is within walking distance to the Prudential Center for sporting events.

In walking distance to Prudential Center.

This was a great stay, very close to the Prudential Center where a friend and I were for the Paul Simon concert.

This location is very close to the Prudential Center, with most of the walk to the center indoors.

Clean, in front of Penn station, close to prudential center for shows and other events like concerts, games,
Also walking distance to njpac theater, 15 min to Newark international airport, taxis will charge no more than fifteen dollars, the trains to new York city, path trains will take to world trade center up to 33rd street in Manhattan for 2,50 dollars one way and run almost 24 a day

We were looking something close to prudential center that wouldnt break the bank.

We decided to stay at this Hilton for 2 reasons, the proximity to the Prudential Center, and my friend gave me a friends and family discount pass to any hotel in the Hilton family.

This was the closest hotel we could find near the Prudential Center, the people at the desk were very nice and friendly, and we had a delicious breakfast at their restaurant, the Market Street Bar & Grill with a lovely waiter.

Walking distance to Prudential Center and was able to take in a Devil's game.
