My family and I enjoyed the room, fitness center and pool during our stay. Breakfast was good, and the staff was friendly.

Positives: I loved the decor and setup.

Negatives: Difficult to get to. You have to be very alert to find this place.

This hotel is very difficult to find! If you're driving, make sure you have detailed directions and an excellent navigator in the car with you -- GPS isn't enough. We finally were able to find the hotel on our third go-around on the NJ turnpike. The hotel itself is very pleasant, clean and comfortable -- great value for the$. It's clearly been renovated recently. The rooms were a decent size, had comfortable beds with lots of pillows, and were surprisingly quiet considering it's located at the end of a runway and right next to the turnpike. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, particularly the women who took care of the breakfast buffet: we came down one morning after the buffet had already closed, and the staff was cleaning up. The kind breakfast attendants went out of their way to make sure our children got a variety of foods for their breakfast. Most other hotels would have just sent us away, but these women not only brought out food for us, they came back later to see if the kids wanted seconds.

Positives: Helpful staff. Clean

Negatives: Very difficult to find!

When I walked in there were 4 pamphlets for Chinese restaurants that had been slipped under the door, including one by the door to the adjoining room. Made the room look like a trash can when I walked in. Also the door between the rooms was not locked. Good thing I noticed it.

Positives: The staff was very nice.

Negatives: 4 pamphlets on the floor of my room for Chinese restaurants.

This hotel was perfect for our needs. The location and price were just we we were looking for.

Positives: The price, and the location.

Negatives: Leaving the hotel to get back on the highways was very confusing. Better signs/markings are needed.

Great room. The place was clean

Positives: Pool, size of suite.

Negatives: Mini-fridge, too cold, froze all my food & beverages.

Negatives: Could not find, directions were unclear.

Great hotel! Friendly staff, clean room, and nice lobby. I was checking in at the same time as a large group of people and I didn't have to wait at all, they went ahead and checked me in. Even though it is close to the airport, I never noticed any loud noises from planes flying overhead. Only drawback is that it is a little difficult to find but finally notices they have signs posted everywhere and their website give you very detailed directions to arrive at the hotel. I will definitely stay here next time I am in Newark.

Positives: Staff was very friendly and everything went smoothly.

Negatives: I found hair in my bathroom and it is difficult to get to until you notice the signs.

Nice place, I would certainly stay there again, and recommend too! Very courteous staff. Only thing I wish improved is the internet speed. I was getting like dial up speeds from the ages!

Positives: Great interiors, good breakfast choices.

Negatives: Internet speed was horrible like a dial up from the olden days.

This hotel is convenient to EWR, but not close to anything else like restaurants, etc. However, it is an overall good bargain considering high prices at hotels in NYC. We drove our car to public transit station in Newark, parked, and took the PATH into Manhattan. Not too far from Liberty State Park and access to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty if you have a car. Very friendly staff. Decent Continental breakfast, but not nearly as good as Residence Inn. Free parking and wifi.

Positives: Free wifi, refrigerator & microwave in room.

Negatives: Not close to anything: shops, restaurants, etc.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 23 Aug 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Love this hotel, was a little hard to go back and forth to NYC, very confussing. Staff was great, had to fax some important papers, they were very helpful in doing just that. Would stay again.

Positives: The beds.

Negatives: Slippery floors by pool area.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 19 Jul 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Overall, I am satisfy far beyond my expectation. Only one bad thing my experience was at pool. I went pool early in the morning and there was no towels. I asked (call) four times and waited 40 minute after first call and got towels.

Positives: Friendly &

Negatives: On duty front desk didn't response immediately.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 27 Jun 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Negatives: Noisy air conditioning unit.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 11 Apr 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Had great two night stay. Nice property and nice rooms. Location was as expected next to Newark Airport and road access at times tricky if not paying attention. Road and aircraft noise much quieter than I was expecting. All amenities delivered as advertised. Very nice staff.

<BR/>

Positives: Very clean establishment with great room. Friendly staff.

Negatives: Location makes access tricky if not familiar with or paying attention to roads/signs.

Price is right. Staff is professional, hotel is clean but I did not get a wake up call. There are only 2 computers, one doesn't work very well in terms of internet connection. Coffee in lobby is horrid. Van is new but I almost missed it because it a had piece of paper taped to the window that read Fairfield Hotel.

Positives: Clean and nice, comfortable rooms.

Negatives: The AC - heating in room is too loud, constantly turning on &amp; off, hard to sleep.

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

Very clean, spacious room that I felt very safe and comfortable in. Nice beds, nice bathroom. Very happy with the hotel in this regard. Great breakfast. Staff was nice. Wish there was a restaurant or something close by. Once you leave the hotel we found it very difficult to find our way back. You can get to the city cheaper, you can drive to train station, park there and get on a train for a round trip.

Positives: The staff was helpful and very courteous.

Negatives: It is almost impossible to find. We spent lots of time lost.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 24 Jun 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

This hotel was excellent. They allowed us to park in the lot before check in as we were headed to the city. The desk was very helpful as they helped us get into NYC and also helped us get directions back home etc. Very nice room with an excellent breakfast. One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Excellent!

Positives: Great parking,

Negatives: Could use darker curtains on the window.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 25 Oct 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

Price was too high, access was very difficult, no restaurant, hot water took a long time.

Positives: Proximity to airport.

Negatives: Price was certainly excessive for the product.

The hotel itself was fine. However, we had two serious problems with the shuttle service. First, on shuttle from airport to hotel, we got on the shuttle bus marked "Fairfield Inn" but it turned out it was for a different Fairfield Inn about 10 miles from the airport. The shuttle took us back to the airport, not to the correct Fairfield Inn so we had to wait for the next correct Fairfield Inn shuttle. Then, the next morning for the trip to the airport, the shuttle was full by the time it got to the hotel. We were told there was another shuttle right behind it, but it turned out that was a lie. The shuttle never came, we had to take a $40 cab ride to the airport (about 2 miles) and we missed our flight.

Positives: Convenient location for airport.

Negatives: Shuttle service to airport was a total failure. We missed our flight.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 11 Dec 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

It was clean, well kept, and relatively quiet even so close to the airport. The staff at the desk, breakfast, and cleaning crew was courteous, friendly, and good at their jobs. Even with a set of "map quest" directions, and a local NJ map, I could not find this place. The very courteous desk attendant finally talked me through the directions on my cell phone!

Positives: Staff went out of their way to help me find this place.

Negatives: It is extremely hard to find, even with a map.

Located about 1/2 mile from Newark - 24 hour shuttle to the airport makes it easy to connect to transportation to New York City. Walking distance to hotel with restaurant. Nice complimentary continental breakfast.

Positives: 24 hour shuttle, made an effort to change to desired two-bed room.

Negatives: Hours of Continental breakfast for leisure travelers who may want to sleep in (over at 9 am).

I would definitely stay here again. Just make sure that you ask early for a non-smoking room if you want one because being stuck in a smoking room is not pleasant.

Negatives: The staff was short with customers at times.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 01 Jun 2005 rated 10 out of 10.
