Top Downtown Newark Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Grand Central New York

8/10 Good

"Very convenient if you're traveling through Grand Central Station."

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely perfect hotel for a 4-day visit to New York with my 12-year-old daughter. The bunk pod room is tiny but had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the large window had a great view filled the room with natural light during the day. We loved buying our breakfast pastries in the cafe in the morning. The location was so convenient for sightseeing and also for catching the airport bus to Newark. We would stay again!"

Hyatt Regency Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect about our stay. Fairly priced room vs the options in the area. Comfortable beds and finishings / amenities and a clean, nothing-missing bathroom. All staff friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Great location is what we paid for and it fit that bill 100%."
