Top Kean University Hotel Reviews

The Kenilworth Hotel - Airport West

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good-sized room that was perfect for a quick night's recovery after a long flight. The check-in staff was bright and cheerful and really made us feel welcome, they even gave us complimentary cookies (the best flavour was all gone by the time we checked in though the others were still tasty). The hotel is a bit on the older side but it's clean and quiet, our room was at the end of a long corridor and that was a struggle moving all our luggage in but that's really more of an us-problem than a hotel issue. Overall good and comfortable place to stay. Thank you for being a great pitstop!"

Holiday Inn Express Newark Airport Elizabeth by IHG

8/10 Good

"It was nice !!! I like the breakfast that was offered to the guest, but they need to work on their scrambled eggs. I enjoyed the mini omelets better. I felt safe. I enjoyed the gym. I would definitely stay again."

Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"It was what I expected it to be"

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Union

10/10 Excellent

"A pleasant overnight on the way to Newark."

Essence Express Elizabeth EWR Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. They are doing renovations, I think it shows they care about their clientele. The breakfast was very good.."

Ritz Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, no problems, fast check in/out, everything worked, A+ service"

Cozy and family house ,spacious and comfortable

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great! We will definitely rent again when visiting family in NJ."

Boho Queen Studio Near NYC, EWR, MetLife

10/10 Excellent

"Host was very communicative and kind. Extremely accommodating to help extend my stay and offered alternative options. Great stay for anyone needing to stay local or easy commute to the city"

GG Rest Inn

8/10 Good

"I read reviews, so had low expectations. Given that, this place was fine for my needs. Room was clean, no bugs. Decent guy running the place. Would have appreciated a towel, but was 3 am by time I realized there was none, so didn't ask. TV remote same; couldn't find a switch on the box. Though room was clean enough, cleaner smell was heavy; window didn't open, so I had to open door for a good while to circulate air. Road noise is a lot as folks said, but that doesn't bother me. Address, Maple but actual entrance facing US1, plus changing names of motel, can be confusing for rideshare drivers, so be ready to clarify location; my first got close then canceled. There are motels closer to EWR, but this one was cheaper; however, for future reference, it might be possible to walk from EWR to Motel 6. Bus here to Rest Inn was tricky, but just $3 +transfer or mile walk, and Uber from EWR wanted $70."
