ROW NYC

8/10 Good

"The line for check in and to store baggage was painfully long."

Holiday Inn Newark International Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I was shocked by how good this place was! Easy check in, nice rooms with plenty of space. Airport shuttle. 10/10"

Hyatt Grand Central New York

8/10 Good

"Great location next to Grand Central. Property was well maintained and staff helpful, Beware of additional daily charges ours were $39.99 per day for services we did not use. Not sure if that was due to Expedia or the Hyatt. No coffee in room but was available if requested. No microwave in room either. Additional charges to hold your luggage when checking out. I would recommend the Hyatt Grand Central as long as you are aware of additional charges after you paid in advance."
