I would never return to this hotel again, recommend you spend a few extra dollars a night and stay at a hotel that does not cheat its own guests. I wanted to go into downtown Newark, and specifically asked the front desk attendant to call me a taxi. A few minutes later a car from a local limousine service showed... more

I am so upset about our stay, i have stayed at other HJ over the years and this one was awful. The beds were like sleeping on plywood. The internet service was down the whole time. The atm machine didn't work. Called and asked for more towels everyday and was given attitude. The coffee maker in the room didn't work... more

For the price we paid (USD 52 + tax), we got a room with two double beds. While the furnishings were somewhat old, the room and bathroom were clean. No problems with housekeeping. Laundry, vending machines, and convenience store were helpful amenities too. Restaurant staff was attentive; our server remembered my choice of decaf, and that I liked my scrambled... more

Little rundown. Little noisy. Slow elevator. Smelled like stale cigarettes. Okay room. Close to airport. Shuttle service. No frills stay. more

When another shuttle bus from... more

Pay more, but stay somewhere else. Dirty, no lounge or bar, telephone barely works. In a remote location, very hard to find. Restaurant barely acceptable. It took a New York limo driver half an hour to find the dump. more

5 of us stayed at the Howard Johnson for New years for 3 days. The room was clean, spacious and the Wi-Fi was excellent. The shuttle service is quiet good and if you don't want to spend a fortune on parking in NYC, you can take the shuttle to the airport and take the subway from there. The restuarant attached... more

Upon arrival at the Howard Johnson Hotel, my friends and I were very excited to finally be at our place of stay. From the moment we walked in, we had the man at the desk look up our reservation, and told us we could come back in one hour and we could check into the room. We were okay with... more

I had stayed at this hotel for an over night for another destination. I got in a little after midnight and had been tired from all of the traveling. As I got to the check-in, they informed that they did not have a reservation for me and that Hotels.com should have sent them a fax informing of my stay. Initially... more
