The front desk guy was very rude and made my stay very uncomfortable… I felt like I was walking on egg shells because he treated me like I was in jail. I will never book thru that hotel and he turned the lights off at the pool and made the pool cold when i went to swim.. his name was javonni

Greetings. I *really* wanted to like this property but left disappointed. I will frankly share some of my concerns with all respect. I did not find check-in welcoming or professional. I chose the property for the pool and was informed at check in that the pool heater was broken… no apology from staffer, or any recognition of how this might impact my visit. Overall the building is clean but hall carpets deeply dirty and stained. Overall room clean but likewise carpets dirty, stained. Sheets clean but old and scratchy. Not enough blankets. Room smelled stale plus cheap cleaning product. I expected better.

Better than waiting at the airport for 12 hours
I had a 10-hour layover and this was the perfect place for me to spend my time. I would have spent the same amount if I had had to relax and eat at the airport. The staff could not have been nicer

In need of a makeover
The hotel is in need of a makeover. We found a couple of dead bugs on the floor. The TV remote was very difficult to use and navigate. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, and the breakfast station was sparse.

I recently stayed at the best western plus Newark and had an overall pleasant experience. The staff truly went above and beyond, providing exceptional service that made the stay feel special, I forgot my toothbrush and they provided and breakfast was really good. The cleanliness of the facilities was good. The only issue I encountered was the need for improved air quality or refreshed rugs in the room, as there was a slight mustiness that detracted from the otherwise pristine environment. However, this was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall comfort and care provided. I would gladly stay here again and recommend it with the hope that small updates are made to the rooms.

The waiting area was welcoming and modern. The rooms were nicely updated and ample fresh linens were provided. The only downside, continental breakfast was lacking.
