Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 06 Jun 2011 rated 2 out of 10.

All together just a two star quality. The location can help because it is away from trafficky roads. No fridges or microwaves in the rooms, this was not expected and lowers my rating. The cleaning lady knocked on our door at 9 a.m. like kicking us out, I did not like this.

Positives: Balcony windows.

Negatives: Pool/gym hours; no free breakfast offered.

Nice Lobby clean and smell GREAT. The staff was friendly. There was no scenery its right off US 1 & 9 but was 10 mins from NYC. Parking on the hotel premise was free. They do need to fix a portion of the sidewalk, it is a tripping hazard. I hope they fixed that sidewalk.

Positives: Front desk employee very nice and the lobby was clean and smelled GREAT! Room was clean

Negatives: Didn't have a refrigerator or microwave.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 12 May 2009 rated 4 out of 10.

The room was very small, old dirty furniture, and terrible restaurant. This is in no way a 3 star facility. We really felt the price we paid was way too much!

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Our room was very small, smelly, furniture old and dirty. Food in restaurant terrible.

Hotel is well kept and common areas are nice-looking. The shuttle from Newark Airport helps, but it only runs every 1/2 hour and makes stops at other related hotels in the area. Driving to this hotel from the airport is a nightmare as it is very hard to find and not conveniently located close to the airport. The restaurant is expensive and not worth the money. The breakfast buffet did not look at all appetizing. The room was comfortable and clean.

Positives: Helpful and courteous staff.

Negatives: If driving to this hotel, it is not convenient.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 17 Aug 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

If you are looking for a comfortable, well-priced hotel near the airport look no farther. The beds were quite comfortable, the staff was amicable, and the included breakfast delicious!

Positives: The breakfast was wonderful and the beds were very comfortable.

Negatives: The area was not amazing, but there is a very good Italian restaurant nearby with excellent prices.

Positives: Very friendly people and very good service.

Negatives: Have to wait long for shuttle at the airport.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 07 May 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. The only thing is the location is hard to get to but the front desk is more than helpful in giving directions. The area is clean with gated, free parking. They do not offer free breakfast and their restaurant is somewhat expensive ($15 buffet breakfast). There are no small stores or fast food around so you must eat their. The staff is friendly, the swimming area was clean and my young children had fun. On Thursday and Friday I only saw business people and no children but by Saturday and Sunday there were families there with children.

Positives: Clean, swimming area, gated parking, free shuttle.

Negatives: Stayed Thursday, Sunday many business people during the weekend. Not kid friendly.

Need more sigh for direction it took me more than 1 hour to get there and please do something about the spiders in the bathroom but still parking is free that is good thing.

Positives: Parking is free.

Negatives: Very hard to get to and so much spiders in the bathroom.

Pleasant, quiet, clean, adequate. One difficulty for us was accessing reasonably priced direct transportation to Manhattan. We eventually took the shuttle to the airport, then the Courtyard Marriott shuttle to Elizabeth, then took the bus to Manhattan, from the Jersey Garden Mall, which was a direct, comfortable run. I would not want to stay at the Courtyard Marriott, Newark again because of the lack of good access to transportation into Manhattan. Because there were 2 of us going in and out of Manhattan 2x a day for 5 days we didn't want the $15 one way tickets in from the airport, but something cheaper, but still comfortable. The two other options, each took 2 hrs through Newark Penn Station.

Positives: The availability of computers and printers on the main floor was a big help.

Negatives: The availability of transportation was a problem. We have stayed in Secaucus and close to Jersey Garden Mall and both were much betters this.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 16 Apr 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Highly recommended for someone who needs to be in the area, but get directions from the hotel staff by phone.

Positives: Friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, made me feel most welcome and that I could go to the lobby to borrow some scotch tape.

Negatives: Keeping the window open for fresh air was noisy from the highway, but the air conditioner was also noisy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 07 Apr 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

I hate to criticize this hotel at all because I had one of the best times of my life and certainly the best birthday week ever! It was quiet, clean, the staff was extremely accommodating and the free shuttle to the airport was great and it only took the half hour to get to Manhattan once I got on the NJ transit. It was a heavenly time. And I felt safe even though I didn't see any security officers. Thank you.

Positives: Friendly, clean, great food, great take out, great staff, gym, free shuttle, free internet which equals excellence.

Negatives: (1)Only had pork meats for breakfast (2) Need more variety sandwiches in concession area.

Positives: Location near airport; Courtyard quality service.

Negatives: Had to wait long time for shuttle.

Other than the danger of having the driver yak on his cell phone while coming in from the airport, the overall experience was good.

Positives: Quite nice overall.

Negatives: Did not get a king-size bed as requested. Shuttle driver kept talking on cell phone while driving in NJ traffic, dangerous.
