Top Kean University Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice spot that seems to be in between owners/operators. Shuttle, nice bed, quiet. 8/10 for value."

Ritz Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a nice motel and a very good location but what separated it from other properties I visited was that the manager was incredibly helpful. I arrived very early from a red-eye and wasn't planning on asking to get in early but I did pull into the lot to get my bearings. She walked over to my car and asked what was going on and I explained the situation. She was so gracious and asked if I would like to get into my room early, which was a huge godsend and something I really appreciated!"

Hilton Newark Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice, staff was good. Restaurant service very good but food quality a little disappointing."

WoodSpring Suites Linden

8/10 Good

"Towels too small gave shampoo no conditioner"

The Kenilworth Hotel - Airport West

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Union

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and very clean property."

Holiday Inn Express Newark Airport Elizabeth by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Place is very clean, beds are comfortable. Staff are very nice and helpful. Parking is easy and safe. Stayed late sleeping, missed breakfast. But I am sureness was lovely. Coffee was excellent."

Newark Hansbury Multi Level House

10/10 Excellent

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

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."
