This is an isolated, smelly hotel. The hotel is located 20 minutes from the airport, near a freeway, next to an old parking lot for equipment. The surrounding area is desolate. There is no food, retail, or offices nearby. The 12 miles to Manhattan might as well be 1200. It takes 90 minutes each way, if you are using public... more

even though we were staying on a non smoking floor, there was lots of cigarette smoke coming out of the bathroom ventilator, even when we closed the batchroom door the smoke just kept on coming in all night. I couldn't sleep at all and felt I was being choked by this smoke. The hotel is right under the flight path... more

This hotel is practically located at the end of a runway at Newark, so planes are constantly flying overhead when the particular runway is in use. The front desk guy will claim that all of the rooms are quiet rooms when you ask to move to another. If I ever have to stay in Newark again, I will not be... more

We were forced to find accommodations at the last minute due to a canceled flight. Called around to other hotels close to airport, since airline would not put us up for the night due to weather. Found that the HJ was considerably lower than others. Was very surprised, it took all of 10 minutes to get our rooms. They were... more

This hotel is definitely no frills. It is a good place to stay if you have a lay over, or need to sleep somewhere before going to or from the airport. I would not recommend it to light sleepers because as said before, it is right off the main landing strip of the airport. The rooms are pretty well insulated... more

I'm a travel agent, so I booked a room for a sight inspection for one of my business clients. The company is tring to cut travel expenses, as most are in this economy. Needless to say they will NOT be staying at this dump. This hotel should be knocked down and rebuilt. As mentioned by other reviewrs, The staff was... more

I stayed at Howard Johnson with my out of country friend. During our stay we were woken up all through the night due to drunk flight attendants and other hotel stayers slurring through the walls. Also, if you plan on staying at this train-wreck of a hotel I would suggest NOT trusting the staff. One of the front desk workers... more

I am a doctor who travels a lot but without high hopes, and I did not have one this time either at a bargain price of $56.00. The hotel is about 10 minuts from the airport Parking 4 area by shuttle which is free. It is located close to a busy highway and toll gate, almost directly opposite to a... more
