Top Downtown Newark Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Grand Central New York

10/10 Excellent

"The lounge was such an amazing amenity! I loved having access to water, soda, coffee and snacks!"

PUBLIC, an Ian Schrager hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, kind staff, great location. The room was small but roomier than other NYC hotels I've stayed in. It was very cozy and comfortable to sleep in. There was a good amount of storage space. The location was amazing--easy uber/lyft pick-ups/drop-offs, great walking location to so many places, and right by many subway lines. I was on the 5th floor and didn't hear traffic or loud sounds at night. I could hear doors closing/opening around my floor, but couldn't hear people/conversations. I absolutely plan on returning to this hotel, it's my new favorite one as a solo traveler/frequent visitor of NY."
