Essex County Hotels with Airport pickup service

After a long flight from the UK we arrived to check in and were greeted by very friendly reception staff who asked us all about our trip, where we were travelling to etc, so we explained we were at the start of a roadtrip. We asked if our room rate included breakfast, it didn't, but the very helpful Nate said he wanted our trip to get off to a good start and gave us a voucher for breakfast. Was a lovely gesture, very welcome and the next morning it set us up for the day - thanks Nate! The hotel itself was fine, the room perfectly adequate. Our only issue was the family across the corridor. I think there had been a problem with their room so they were in the hallway making such an amount of noise which carried on inside the room. I believe several complaints were made as it was as though there was a party going on. Security came up a couple of times and it eventually quietened down. Just not what we needed at 11pm onwards after a long flight, nor I'm sure did anyone else.

Close to airport - excellent shuttle service - 18/10min Uber rise to Jersey Mills Shopping - approx 20 min Uber to port. Nice layout of hotel - but dated but in good shape. Quite a nice hot bfast - with good service too. The only glitch I had was on the morning to leave my safe wouldn’t open - maintenance spent over hr to open missed my ride and ended up being late- front desk were unable to arrange transportation or anything

I will never use trip.com again. I booked 2 nights with them months ago, knowing that I had a free cancellation/modification window. I read all the fine print, I contacted customer service to confirm everything. About a week before my window was closing, I tried to modify to 1 night. It would not let me. After FIVE DAYS of contacting them, I finally got it modified. Had I not continued to contact them, this never would have been resolved. THEN, upon checking in at the hotel I was told (even though I prepaid trip.com) that the hotel was never paid by the supplier. Therefore they would not check me in and I spent almost an hour on the phone with teip.com to have it resolved. Totally ridiculous.

The Hilton Newark is always one of my favorite places to stay. Everyone from the front desk to the cleaning person is super friendly. Our room was very clean. My only issue would be that the rooms have no microwave. The only microwave is by the front desk.

Breakfast is ordinary, but the overall environment is okay, the room is okay, there is a bathtub

Excellent customer service, clean room and as soon as we got to the room they called us from the reception to ask if everything was to our liking 🤩

First time at this property or any Sonesta brand hotel. Nice room and good location. Power outage during an excessive heat warning in NJ did not help when the power was out from 6:30pm ish until at least 3:30am. We are seniors on the third floor. No air conditioning, lights, TV, use of in room kitchen etc. Basically, a dark room with for walls. Staff provided no helpful information or estimated repair times, which EVERY utility company I have had, where I lived always did. No backup generators to power the rooms. No designated place to charge your phones. NOTHING! and, no adjustment on our bill during checkout or even an apology. Second night of our stay, power went out within 30 seconds of us getting off the elevator and walking a short distance to our room, nearly trapping us. Opened a case with the care team and have heard nothing in over two weeks. Very disappointed with Sonesta :(

This hotel was one of the choices listed on a wedding invitation, but it sure was a disappointment. First of all, finding the hotel was not easy. There is a sign by the road, but then you have to navigate through a couple of parking lots to reach the building. Additional signs would have been helpful. There was a parking garage, but it looked sketchy so we parked outside. They advertise that they offer breakfast, but it consisted of a to-go paper bag sitting near the front desk with a Saran-wrapped bagel, a tube of cream cheese, a plastic knife and a small muffin (maybe a change made due to COVID?). There was a large urn of regular coffee available for help yourself service, but there was no decaf, no hot water, no tea bags or hot chocolate packets like many other hotels often offer. There were vending machines for snacks and drinks. Interesting that one of the snacks you could buy was microwavable popcorn, but our room had no microwave. We were under the impression that there was a restaurant on site, but it turned out to be a nightclub. Our room keycards did not always work, so we went down to the front desk multiple times to reprogram and/or get a new card. Thankfully, the room was pretty clean (although the corners of the bathroom were filthy). The toilet paper was a low-quality 2-ply. The toilet handle had to be jiggled to stop it from constantly running after each flush. The metal bathroom door had obviously been repaired in several places because the patches were a different color from the door. At least there were ample towels, tissues, and plenty of hot water. Not having carpet in the room was nice. The TV remote did not work so we had to wait for maintenance (turned out to be a manger, I think) to come with a replacement remote. The room had a refrigerator, but no coffee maker. There was an iron, but no ironing board. There was only a swivel desk chair (set up at the counter/desk) to sit in. We had to set the time on the nightstand room clock. At one point, we went to use the stairway and it was disgusting with trash so we avoided the stairs. We stayed 2 nights and Housekeeping did call us in the morning to check if we wanted them to clean our room, so that was a positive. The front desk staff person must have been new because his customer service skills were minimal at best. When we checked in, we had to ask him how to reach our room because he neglected to mention that there was even an elevator. At one point we asked for restaurant recommendations, but he was unable to provide any helpful suggestions. Luckily there were 2 computers available for use in the lobby, so we were able to get our information that way. After getting home, I noticed a charge on my credit card from the hotel that was then cancelled, and the correct charge was put on. I am glad they corrected it without me having to call them, but it is just one more thing that made our experience with this place, less than ideal. Very disappointing sta

It's a lovely interior and has decent accomodations and good service. They want 200 characters for each review but my first sentence says it all, I think. We looked forward to retreating to our room each night and enjoyed a liesurely breakfast in the morning.

Long way to the shuttle bus point and waiting more than 30 minutes for the next pick up. Other than this inconveniences, everything is ok in the hotel.
