We arrived from a cruise ship two days after Hurricane Sandy went through. Thank goodness we had reservations here, staying for 3 nights. Great value, economical, and right across the street from Newark Penn train station. We took the train into NY city each day for only $5. Bell hops were great, storing our luggage securely until it was time to check in. Desk staff were always courteous and helpful. We used the lobby computer to print our boarding passes, free of charge. The only hiccup was at the hotel cafe, where they dropped our entire breakfast on the floor and took another 20 minutes to cook it again, rather than offering us the buffet instead. In the evening however, the appetizers and cocktails were a great way to end the day, and the evening wait staff was super. Street noise was at a minimum, with well insulated rooms even though we faced the street. We will definitely stay here again.

My g/f and I were staying at the Hilton during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy here in New Jersey. It was VERY difficult to find hotel rooms since thousands of people had no power. We stayed at the Hilton last Wednesday and Thursday. (Oct. 31 and Nov. 1) The hotel was very nice. But I especially want to compliment the staff and management. They extended our stay under particularly trying circumstances...when EVERYONE was desperate to find a place to stay. I appreciated VERY much the effort the hotel staff made for us. I live very close to this hotel...about an hour away. So, it's likely I won't be staying there again. But, if there ever is a need to stay in a hotel near me...I would DEFINITELY come back to this Hilton.

We stayed here for one night as a pre-cruise hotel but we also wanted to go into Manhattan for the evening so the location is excellent. As my title sated there were absolutely no surprises and that it was I wanted. The staff was excellent, the room was very nice and the bed was great. I rated the value as average because it was more expenisve than other comparable hotels in the area but the location of the hotel was the key determining factor.

I would stay here again if I had a need to go into Manhattan again.

We stayed here on the night before a cruise. Very convenient location to Penn Station for transport to Manhattan, a very quick trip. Rooms were clean, comfortable, more than adequate for an overnight stay. Front desk staff very helpfull-- began at check-in, continued through to helping find transport to the port. Very nice deli type restaurant on the walkway to the train that a great, reasonable breakfast. Would definitely go back.
