I had to stay here for a week because of work (in Newark), and would recommend it for that purpose only, as there are no better alternatives at a reasonable price (especially as they offer free on-site parking). I would NOT recommend it as a place to stay if all you want to do is see NYC or are headed to the airport- in that case there are cheaper, better hotels in much better areas (it's in the best park of Newark, but it still has a long ways to go). Perhaps my impression was wrong, but the hotel had numerous homeless-types who appeared to be living in the hotel, and were generally very loud, and not terribly considerate of other guests. The walls are very thin, which made things worse.

We were pleasantly surprised at the elegance and service for the reasonable cost at this downtown Newark hotel. Everyone was so helpful in giving directions and accommodating our needs. The food and surroundings at the restaurant "Maize" were also outstanding. We'll absolutely stay here again!

very cloase to Newark penn station.Has parking. rooms are small but bigger compared to NY standards.Safe and clean

Whe we arrived the room they gave us was small and right next to the elevator, which was noisy. We complained and they gave us a much better room - quiet, more closet space, a refrigerator. The breakfast was good. Parking was easy though my son used public tranportation and it was very convenient to New York City. It is also close to the "Ironbound" area of Newark which has great Portuguese and Spanish restaurants.

Room was too small. I think the bathroom was bigger than the actual bedroom. There was a lady shouting profanities or whatever it was to her husband and none of the hotel staff intervened. Mind you it was early in the morning... But aside from all of that the continental breakfast was one of the best....

The hotel itself was nice and close to NJ Penn Station which is a 15 min ride to NYC, but that does not make up for the hotel staff. The agent at night, I think his name is Dominick was just about as RUDE as they come. I am not sure how Best Western can run their business with people like him working there. I would not recommend this hotel due to his lack of customer service. The room itself was a little on the small side, but who really cares about the size when you are just sleeping there. The restaurant was nice, but a little overpriced for its quality of food. Next time I come to Newark, I will NOT be staying there.

This hotel has a wonderful continental breakfast. The staff, with exception of the front desk, are exceptionally nice. The worst part of our stay was the shuttle. To get picked up at Penn Station, we had to wait over 30 minutes and each time we called the front desk said it would be there in 10 minutes.

We had a quick half night stay before our flight across the country. We stayed because of the airport shuttle. It took 30 minutes for the shuttle to arrive ("It'll be there in 10 minutes.") and upon checking in, I asked specifically about the morning schedule. "Oh, it goes when you're ready." Next morning: we go downstairs at 5:05. Same person said, sorry, it leaves on the half hour. You missed it. We had to pay $30 to get to the airport.

The hotel was great, and I expected the area to be sketchy (which it was, but no one bothered us). Kind of confusing getting to and from Penn Station, but during the day there is a shuttle and a $4 cab ride when we got lost at 2am. You can hear everything in the next room in the bathroom, but it wasn't too bad. Free parking was a plus, but I'm sure it gets filled up pretty quick. They let us keep our car there after we checked out so we could enjoy the city for a few more hours before we left to go home. The air didn't work so the room got super hot in the middle of the night and we had to open the window, then close it when car alarms went off and locals were outside screaming at 4am, and then open it again when it was super hot again. The security guard seemed to be kind of rude and unhelpful, and the staff was kind of rough around the edges, but not outright rude so I guess I can't complain...Overall, I would consider staying here again!

The hotel was nice and the location was great for an event at the prudential center. The staff was helpful but the noise factor was kind of annoying. I couldn't sleep b/c the staff kept making a lot of noise in the hallways all night long. The bed was comfortable and room was clean. Other then the noise it was good.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Best Western Robert Treat Hotel. The room was spacious and very clean and provided easy access to New York City via Newark Penn Station. The continental breakfast was very good also. Thanks for a great experience.

we stayed at the hotel for 12 days and enjoyed every single one. the room was spacious and clean, the service was very good and the staff friendly. we also liked the breakfast where u get everything u need. location is ok, close to the penn station and buses, shuttle service to and from the airport is very convenient. full recommend!

Pros: Location and Cleanliness Cons: Airconditioning did not work properly, and the fan was very loud.

Enjoyed our stay. Outstanding hotel for a great price.

A very good hotel with excellent facilities. Breakfast was excellent as was the availability of computers and fitness gym. The room was well equipped but was L shaped which wrapped around the elevator shaft proving slightly noisy at times - mainly in the early evenings, but this was not a major problem. The hotel was within walking distance of Newark Penn station - so getting into New York was easy. The area was pleasant with shops and restaurants. The hotel also provided, every half hour, a free shuttle bus to Penn station and the Airport. Staff were very pleasant.

staff was most helpful telling us exactly which trains and subways to take to get just where we wanted to be in Manhattan, then shuttled us to Penn station. when we returned 2 days later, they were there in five minutes to pick us up and take us back for another night. They securely stored our extra luggage for the nights we were gone. Highly recommend - great value for the money!

Great rate for the money and the free breakfast was wonderful

The room was in good condition and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was extremely small, though. The shuttle to Penn Station and to airport was very convenient and usually on time. The weather turned cold and there was no heating in the hotel. Also, there was an air vent in the bathroom which created a draft and there was no way to turn it off.

I have to say, I was nervous going in. How could a hotel at this price point be clean, comfortable and safe? Boy, was I wrong. What a great place. I would stay again and would highly recommend it to friends and family. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was great and the morning breakfast was very satisfying. On top of all that, it was a great value.

For my surprise i have a full bed instead of queen and no refrigerator in the room. The breakfast almost nothing, just one kind of bread, no eggs...i leave a letter with contact and nobody answer. Completely disapointed.

VERY SATISFACTORY.

Very convenient for the purpose for which the hotel was booked. Satisfactory service and comfortable.

We stayed at the Robert Treat hotel for 4 nights and it was a lovely stay. The room was relatively large and very clean, although the furniture a little outdated - not that it matters. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was a little small, but all you really need on holiday...it had everything you needed - toiletries, clean towels, bathtub and a powerful shower. The room insulation was pretty good as we never heard our neighbours, however i did hear the maids in the corridors on the odd morning. The staff were super friendly - especially one of the conceirge's! The free shuttle to and from the airport and Newark Penn station was really handy ... whenever we needed it we have a lift within 5 minutes!

This hotel is a good alternative for an overpriced stay in Manhattan. The Shuttle facilitates easy transport to EWR , the PATH, the Light Rail, and NJ Transit. The staff was attentive and responsive.

This is a delightful hotel! It was a much better maintained property than I expected, and the room was in excellent condition with a comfortable bed and pillow. The shuttle to the train station and airport was punctual and very convenient. This is the place to stay if you are visiting New York and don't want to spend big bucks. I will definitely stay here again.

This Hotel is very good for the people who want to see NY city but do not want to pay the high hotel price in NY city. It is very conveniently located in Newark, close to Penn Station in Newark. The hotel shuttle was a bonus. They actually came in few mins time, once called from the Penn station. The neighborhood masy not be great..but with the shuttle, it works out fine.

The hotel is nice and we enjoyed our stay, I wish the hotel staff would have been more helpful in answering questions on how to use the transit system.

We needed a place to stay for three days as we volunteered nearby in Jersey City. At the time I went on hotels.com, this was the best deal in the Newark/Jersey City area. It is an older hotel but very clean. Very little parking area but we didn't have to pay an extra fee so that worked out. It was directly across the street from the NJPAC but no shows were there when we stayed during the week. I would recommend this place for the price & area.

the hotel was overall very good deal. near penn station for 30 min ride into nyc, shuttle was convenint, breakfast was adequate. will defintely stay again when in area.

Great Stay. Thank You.

Outstanding

couldn't be more happy with the choice we made to stay at robert treat. hotel was conveniently located (5min to PATH, NJ Transit and Amtrak trains), staff was excellent, and the rooms were clean and nice. definitely recommend! and would stay there again next time i'm in new york!

I stayed here with family for three nights and didn't run into any major problems. I'd read reviews complaining that the shuttle offered to/from Newark Penn Station and the airport is unreliable, but it really worked out for us and helped make getting to and from the hotel so much easier when we wanted to go to NYC. The room was clean and comfortable, no problems there. The breakfast had what I consider a wide variety of food, more than other hotels I've stayed at. We had no problems with the staff, and they met our needs when we had some very noisy neighbors wake us up.

Our stay at the Hotel was really nice and enjoyable. However, the customer Service at the time of check in and out was not so great.

All I can say is this hotel is excellent it is only 2 blocks from pen station to take you over to NYC. It is perfect for the price. The hotel is very beautiful and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The complementary breakfast was great. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and i will definitely stay there again.
