Top Riverfront Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Select Newark Christiana Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, updated room, clean, quiet, comfortable. The hotel is undergoing major renovations, and there was evidence of this in the hallways, but our room was perfect. We were thankful to find this place at the last minute."

Red Roof Inn & Suites Newark - University

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed there several times. If I’m in need and in the area, as I travel a lot, I always seek them out, even if I have to travel a little further. Rooms are clean, well stocked (towels, coffee, remote that works)….its always the little things. The front desk staff is friendly. There is some construction on the adjoining properties, but they don’t miss a beat. Obviously I will gladly be staying there again."

Waterfront Inn PHL Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location was convenient, and everything was exactly as expected. The check-in process was easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I felt comfortable and safe during my stay. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to others."
