DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Newark Airport
"Petty low key nice little ( big ) hotel. I like it, small environment changes like free parking since the place is always busy, they got the money to let parking slide. Have free breakfast. Bistro’s breakfast is not worth paying. Hampton Inn makes better breakfast and it’s free. Over good place"

"The property is conveniently located. Rooms and hotel are well maintained. Staff was courteous. Check in was long and a bit difficult. We parked our car and they gave us the correct direction off site, but the name of the vendor changed so it made the process difficult."
