Top Downtown Newark Hotel Reviews

Hotel St. James

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and updated. The staff was pleasant. The location was very good - a 2 minute walk to Time Square and shops."

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at Empire Hotel…Hailey and Adrik were extremely helpful the first night. After that, the front desk staff changed and they seemed rather glum and refused to answer the phone in the late evenings. The rooftop bar was a nice addition to our stay. Rooms were clean and air conditioning was great. Its proximity to Central Park and the subways couldn’t be beat."

Arlo Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"I honestly thought our room would’ve been bigger because it was a suite for $1,200 with a city view balcony , the view was ok I had stayed her before and my balcony was so huge it had a hammock and couch this one we was in wasn’t big enough for our photo shoot but we made it work I just wanted my 1 year wedding anniversary to be special !! Staff was amazing and breakfast should come with espresso!!!"

Park Lane New York

8/10 Good

"LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION!!!!! I interacted with reception I believe 3 to 4 times and it was very robotic, except for only one experience. Being across from Central Park was a game changer and ultimate New York experience. I read reviews about the elevators and it’s true, for whatever reason they just seem to be very slow, especially in the mornings before 10 AM. We had the AC unit in the room at 68 or 70 and it just never got cold but we were never uncomfortable, but we weren’t as comfortable as we could’ve been. Overall, it was a 4.5 out of five stars."
