The hotel lacked amenities, one of its elevators do not work, the card reader for the working elevator did not work consistently, the front desk staff was not the easiest to work with, and the rooms smelled.

We complained several times about the lingering smell of marijuana and smoke in our room and in the hallways, and elevator.

However it was so small we had Troy Le navigating around the bed and it was situated beside the elevators.

I took the elevator down to ground only to discover steps
The store is on the main level

Marijuana blunts on the floors and in elevator.

The smell of Marijuana was on the elevator and on the floor.

No bell man no valet no luggage carts was stuck in elevator fir 15 minutes all the linen was yellow stained just the worse

You will get a contact high standing in the elevator.

Finally on our second day they opened a corridor that led to the conference center and we could use their elevators

The only plus side to this stay is that both elevators we’re working this time.

Between the squeaky elevator, the roach, the condition of the room, and the hallways reeking of ganja, this was utterly ridiculous.

Besides the miserable staff that couldn't make eye contact or smile the hotel had a stench of vomit mixed with dirty Bong water, maybe people like to bake out the elevators & get so High that they then vomit on the floor once they arrive on their floor.

Of two elevators - one is broken making long waits.

but one of the elevators was broken causing a long wait time.

Filthy, busted furniture, smoke smelling rooms, pot odor everywhere, halls, elevator seeping into the room.

Horrible parking, they lost my car keys, two elevators when the hotel was completely booked, staff told us there were no stairs.

Also in order to ride the elevator you need to use the room card i wasn't told that took me a minute to figure it out.

-	Elevator and many areas of the hotel smell like weed.

2) Parking is now 20ish $ whereas in 2008, it was free.

though a poster at the P4 Hotel Shuttle picj up place at Newark aiurport says breakfast is free of charge, this is not true.

unless you are stranded and homeless and offered to stay there for free . .

Loved it I would recommend on any given day possible, extremely comfortable and stress free environment,it's a lot of channels to watch and a decent side television, a real nice friendly staff that's on point with Five star service,

Advertising free breakfast there wasn’t any free breakfast!

On the positive side, the rooms are decent and are fairly up to date and they have a free shuttle to the Newark airport.

Many people have commented on the great free breakfast.

Very nice hotel operate a free shuttle bus back and to the airport/Penn station 24 hours which was fantastic.

Ended up staying here after a flight delay, they operate a free shuttle bus back and too to the airport 24 hours which was fantastic as we were quite late arriving.

The hotel has a lot of history and serves free breakfast enough to fill you up to start the day.

I booked this hotel because it had free breakfast and a free airport shuttle to EWR.

Penn Station in NYC at 33rd its the perfect spot for travel if you don't want to pay city prices for hotels and free breakfast daily its just right .

The hotel has a free shuttle to Newark Airport and Penn Station.

Also the free shuttle from the Newark airport was a add on.

Oh, and if you are a vegetarian/vegan good luck with the free breakfast - not too much to choose from there.

Asides from that, the hotel is in a good location from the train station for travel to New York etc, and the hotel offers a free shuttle bus.

Staff was lovely, free shuttle to and from the airport.

The hotel looks good from the outside, and the free shuttle from the airport is fast.

It had a free shuttle from Newark Airport and that was quite convenient.

Free shuttle, free breakfast, friendly staff, clean

The free shuttle runs every 30 minutes to the airport and Penn Station.

We wanted to take the train into NYC one day, and someone in our group could not walk far, so we wanted to take advantage of the free shuttle.

The hotel provides a free shuttle from the airport & the two near by train stations.

There was a free shuttle that picked us up from the airport so that was a good thing.

It was really reasonable, and even to include a free shuttle ride to and from the airport!

I called from EWR for the free shuttle and it arrived in 10 minutes.

we were able to check in early and that together with a free shuttle service were the only good things during this stay.

It's very close to Newark's Penn Station (and has a free shuttle), from which your trip to Manhattan is 20 minutes!

It is close to Newark airport and has 24-hour free shuttle service to the airport.

Free shuttle service to Penn station and airport every half an hour.

Used this Hotel as rate was good and it had a free shuttle service to and from Newark airport.

Great to reach NYC on Path Train from Newark Penn Station.

Next door to NJPAC and walking distance to Prudential Center, Nike Store and Newark Penn Station.

The shuttle from the hotel to Newark Penn Station was very convenient, they also offer a shuttle from Penn Station to the hotel which I wish I knew ahead of time

A 15 minute walk to Newark Penn Station or use the hotel shuttle bus.

It saved us a small fortune on taxi fares to and from Newark Penn Station,

Stayed at this hotel twice Sept 2012 and 2014 both were a pleasure it's an alternative stay if your on a budget free breakfast business center and Newark Penn station just down the street (a skip and a hop to the city ) comfy beds spacious rooms and a roof top terrace that overlooks new York city great hotel at budget reasonable price strongly recommend

It included being picked up at the airport, getting a ride to Newark Penn Station, and breakfast.

The hotel is 4 blocks from the Newark Penn Station PATH train station.

Newark Penn Station is about 15 minutes walk away and the area seemed pretty safe.

Positives:
Good value (cheap), compared to other hotels, especially those near or in NYC
Close to Newark Penn Station, about 10 minutes to walk
Neighborhood seems to be safe (perhaps much safer than years ago)
On-demand shuttle service (note: the service is on-demand.

The Robert Treat Hotel has nice accommodations, friendly staff, good breakfast and is conveniently located walking distance to Newark Penn Station in the heart of downtown Newark.

Pros:  
Shuttle bus to Newark Penn station and back, which was great.

We used the complimentary shuttle to and from Newark Penn station and it made getting into NYC very easy.

though old well maintained hotel near Newark penn station which makes it convenient to get into NYC.

It’s conveniently located near Newark Penn Station (12 minutes walk or a 6$ Uber ride), & 1 PATH ride away from NYC (25 min travel time).

Super convenient to Prudential Center (NJ Devils) and Newark Penn Station to go into NYC, which is usually what I'm there for (one of those two, usually both).

Well located property in downtown, with convenient scheduled shuttle to airport / Newark Penn Station.

It's a 5-10 min easy walk to Newark Penn Station.

800m walking distance or get the hotel shuttle to the Newark Penn Station.

When I arrived to the hotel the staff was extremely nice and guided me to where to park instructions were simple and straight forward.

And there is an underground parking lot across the street in the park.

I loved the scenery across from the historic military park.. great location and parking was very easy and secure..security was good with room and elevator access connected to card..the front desk staff was very helpful and the driver of shuttle was very helpful and convenient

The view is OK if you are on high floor, of the park in front.

The hotel is located in downtown Newark so it’s a very mixed area and right across the street from a small park.

Got a corner view overlooking the park - very nice.

The Robert Treat Hotel, BW Premier Collection is near these landmarks: Red Bull Arena, Bethlehem Judah Christian Church, Richard W. DeKorte Park, Brunswick Zone, Turtle Back Zoo, Ghost Hawk Brewing, Liberty State Park, To the Struggle Against World Terrorism, Two Ton Brewing, The Warren, Trinity Church, GUIDED TOUR OF NEW YORK CITY / GENERAL, John Russell Wheeler Park, Nomahegan Park, Church of St. Michael the Archangel, Altamarea, The Church of Ascension, The Strand, Monahan's CLUB, La Caverna Art Gallery, The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Brix City Brewing, Discover France, Cool Spa, Jade Island, Imagine That!

The night scenery from the rooms is amazing with an iconic view of the city of newark and the park.

The surrounding area (it's right next door to Military Park) is nice.

There’s a nice park and a Whole Foods nearby.

There is a new Whole Foods just across the park, which is one of your best bets for good food.

Whole Foods Store and Starbucks across the park.

We needed a hotel were we could park our car within a short walk to the train station.

The room with view on the park was excellent, the bed a little gift, after all our packing for international moving.

Being able to park my car was a huge plus.

The area has a nice little park in front of it and pretty decent area with colleges around.

There's a nice park across the street as well as a Whole Foods.

Our room was on 12th floor overlooking a park and church.

We had a great room on the 11th floor with a view of the park and the old church.

but foul is the only way I could describe the smell in the hallway that seemed to be coming from the carpet is my guess.

but smelled of cigarette smoke from past occupants.

And called down during the night when we could smell someone smoking.

There was a stale cigarette smoke odor in the room.

I think someone is smoking near the vents because our room as well as others reeked of weed the entire stay.

Old mildew non professional dilapidated under construction hotel with wind blowing through the hotel lobby since the entire front entrance was missing the staff was a bunch of non professional at night.

The entire floor to my room smelled like a 50 year old ash tray.

Other cons:
- room smelled strongly of cloves
- no cups
- there's a coffee maker

Room smells  bad, marks of cigarettes in the side table it’s disgusting.

My car could be left at the hotel which had very nice valet parking.

but attendant valet parked when lot was full.

When parking wasn't availible, they offered free vallet parking, I felt safe leaving my car it the hands.

but they were able to get us valet parked fairly quickly.

The hotel has free wine and cheese in the lobby around 5ish every day

The hotel also has a daily Wine and Cheese hour from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. with crackers, cheeses, and very good wine.

Sure, the breakfast is included and so is the wine and cheese and desserts - more on that below -

Big thanks to Gilbert who took care of us and we met Dee later for their wine and cheese which was nice touch to decompress after.

They also had a nice lounge area, with a happy hour Wine and Cheese tasting at 5PM.

Great hotel in a perfect location
Free wine and cheese in the afternoon
Friendly and helpfull staff
The included breakfast was ok.

Morning coffee and evening wine and cheese are a plus -

The hotel also offers a complimentary snack and wine hour every day, so you can sit back and relax with a glass of wine and some cheese, chips, fresh veggies and dipping sauces after a long day in the city.

And their special extras: Wine & Cheese at 5pm, L’Occitane toiletries, help-yourself snacks and hot drinks counters.

Do not miss wine  and cheese for free at 5p.m, very good quality wines.

however, a lounge just above reception with free coffee, water, cookies and fruit - and free wine and cheese between 5 and 6 every day.

The daily cheese and wine hour in the second floor lounge was an added bonus.

Complimentary cheese and wine hour from 5pm was very welcoming.

Daily snacks (chips, granola bars, apples) and afternoon wine & cheese were included.

Always very good service, amenities such as: L'occitane products in the bathroom, espresso coffee maker in the room, coffee, fruit and snacks always available, daily happy hour with wines and cheeses.

Nice touch with a free wine and cheese at 4pm.

Free continental breakfast every morning, wine & cheese from 4-5 daily, & even a bottle of wine delivered to our room because it was my birthday.

we always had enough to do us , in the breakfast room between        4 +6pm there was wine, cheese, fruit and nuts etc, nice to put your feet up after a lot of walking !!

but they also always offered free small bags of one or two flavors of chips.

The hotel stored our bags for us between checkout and taxi pick up, free of charge.

Wine at 5pm in the lobby very nice touch, also tea/coffee available free of charge all day.

Lobby is well equipped and the room included a free continental breakfast.

It comes with "free" breakfast and a gym.

They have an area on the second floor for free snacks, coffee and fruit.

The resort fee was a surprise, so continental breakfast and happy hour aren't actually "free,"

Breakfast being included is a big bonus, and it's very nice too, as is the 5pm to 6pm free wine hour in the lobby!

Staff are super friendly and helpful, rooms are spacious, clean and include microwave, coffee/tea maker, fridge, safe, free wifi, and are quiet.

They also have complementary coffee and hot water for tea 24/7, including latte and cappuccino, on the first floor as well…the latte was fantastic!

Complimentary refreshment bar behind reception, where you can get free tea/coffee/water/cookies/crisps.

conveniently on the 2nd floor there was food and beverages available 24/7 and free.

Staff can't do enough to help, continental breakfast and complimentary happy hour are such a bonus, snacks on offer too, even late at night they leave out crisps and fruit to help yourself.

The hotel has a fitness centre, free coffee and a wine hour.

although a nice size for a NYC hotel, and very nicely appointed with L'Occitane products (rare again for most hotels in this category).

Also good sized with all the amenities you need, including an umbrella for rainy days and a large bathroom with L'Occitane products.

Dressing gowns, slippers, l'Occitane toiletries, tv in the bathroom.

but much better service, clean car and responsible driver); the room was very comfortable and nice with a surprisingly big bathroom with L'Occitane toiletries and a tv!

They use L'occitane bath products, and the room appointments were luxurious.

Great L'Occitane toiletries and super soft, thick, cushy towels.

but it was the last  day so I didn't bother calling the front desk.

After enjoyed my lunch at Verso went up to have a smoke and a coffee SOUKAINA helped me with her iPhone charger since mine wasn’t functioning she was super helpful such a good advisor with proactivity and professional engaging meanwhile my shisha yet to be served dint fell alone she could assist properly and serve me my phone after only 10 min of charging smartly made me enjoying the outdoor seating area that at that time was not busy we engage and I could enjoy shisha as well as the drink.

The deduction of a half star is because 3 days out of four we had to phone housekeeping as we didn’t have any shower towels, or only one, or the tea/coffee capsules hadn’t been replenished or the first morning the fridge wasn’t plugged in.

however offered an upgrade option for $40 extra; I had no choice since I had to settle in and get on a conference call ASAP.

Unfortunately we did not receive a call so it was lucky my daughter had set an alarm on her phone as a back up.

It would have cost a fortune to pay for those urgent calls if they had charged us for them.

I had forgotten my cell on the back seat and did not notice until the driver came back to give it to my as I was at the Air Canada desk checking in.

Turns out, we mistakenly left something in the room and I got a phone call from the hotel and they are Fed-exing it back.

If we needed anything in our room all we had to do was call anytime before 7.

They took my cell phone number so as to call me when our room would be available, and we left to have some lunch.

but had to call at 2AM to get couch made up.

but did not get the call we requested when the room was ready.

There was some minor noise from traffic - we used the supplied earplugs by the hotel and white noise on our phones and slept fine.

But Joseph was able to answer a lot of my questions about their hotel without sounding annoyed or rushing me off the phone.

Was not sure it would live up to the positive reviews on Tripadvisor based on my reservation experience (not very welcoming and rates quoted over the phone were higher than their online site and Expedia/TripAdvisor),

The phone reminder the day before check-in is a godsend.

Same if you want to keep your phone plugged in near the bed.

My girlfriend and I often found ourselves getting so frustrated with the speed that we'd turn off the wifi on our smart phones and just use cellular data (which was much faster).

The one improvement that could be made would be to have proper cutlery and crockery rather than plastic cutlery.

OK hotel, clean, don’t expect an American breakfast what you get is a continental with plastic cutlery, paper plates and cups.

This ain't no crappy plastic wrapped danish/instant coffee breakfast.

And I’ve no idea why it is served on plastic plates with plastic cutlery.

There are notes in the bathrooms about not washing towels unnecessarily yet they are sending so much plastic to landfill without a second thought.

I think it would be better if they didn't have breakfast rather than put all that plastic into the garbage every day.

Negatives would be flat pillows, plastic dishes / cups, repetitive breakfast and happy hour items, and the elevators.

The dark brown plastic plates and cutlery which one throws out after use were certainly not appealing.

Disposable (but high quality) plastic plates and cutlery,

happy hour, cubed cheddar and a white, carrots from bag, going white, celery with brown ends, 
everything plastic, room paper cups for coffee, all plastic in breakfast room and happy hour.

Wasn't a fan of the disposable plastic plates, bowls, cups and cutlery.

though were as follows:
- the breakfast, while adequate, was always crowded, tough to find a seat, and frankly everything being on disposable plastic plates was not up to standard.

This was all served on plastic plates - this did not bother us at all,

but the plastic plates & cutlery are the one negative.

The cheese and wine is over hyped,and could be improved by serving the wine in glasses instead of plastic ones for starters and how about some social interaction from members of staff .

but EVERYTHING served on cheap plastic disposable plates, with plastic cutlery and cups.

Generally busy and "self service" plastic plates, cutlery etc.

Breakfast is nice for some reason they do not give out proper cutlery and crockery and just have plastic which is a bit random.

however, it made a clicking or popping noise (it sounded like the plastic casing around the vent) in about one second increments every time it turned on.

They were probably upset about the hideous plastic bowls and cutlery whose overwhelming plastic smell made the fresh fruit inedible.

With WiFi, breakfast and snack bar included in the resort fee, this was great value for money.

The 24 hour cafe with coffee/tea and snacks was well used!

We especially loved their wine reception each day and the ability to GRAB SNACKS for 24 hours a day in a room we all have access too.

There’s even a snack room with 24 hour access to coffee, tea, cookies, and chips.

In addition, it has a 24/7 snack bar which was heaven sent upon our arrival at 1:30 in the morning; the bar has bananas, apples, cookies of all kinds, chips, coffee, variety of teas, and hot chocolate.

The 24-hour snacks were great too, and we helped ourselves to a hot chocolate or tea plus snacks after a long day of sightseeing.

Breakfast was included and the rate also included drinks and snacks that were available all the time in a room off of the lobby.

The service was terrific and the amenities provided for guests were above and beyond other hotels - happy hour every day, fresh fruit and snacks available all day for guests and the breakfast at Friedman’s was great.

And they always put out a carafe of hot apple cider or hot chocolate,

Snacks available during the day such as fruit, coffee and cookies.

Light continental breakfast and 24/7 snacks as well as 2nd floor gathering space was excellent fit for our blended family.

The breakfast and all day snacks in the lounge is a really nice touch.

Water, fruit, and snacks available in lobby for no charge.

Staff very friendly and our kids loved the snacks and fruit that were always available in reception along with the iced water.

Let's look at the Pros first: 
Great Location - close to Times Square, 1 minute from Subway stop, 
Great Staff - pleasant, helpful, always available, asked for more towels, asked for help with TV, offered upgrade as room became available  
Snacks in the lobby available on check in/check out - chips, fruit, lemon water
Wine Reception at 5 - didn't partake,

The daily free happy hour at the 2nd floor lobby with wine and snacks is also fun before starting your evening activities.

The hotel offers a wine/cheese hour and coffee and breakfast snacks in the morning.
