Renaissance Newark Airport

Let's face it. You stay here because it's like 2.1 miles from the gate. And that's ok. What you don't know going on is that it's actually a kinda nice clean hotel, with great staff and comfy beds.



That, and I made it to my gate from my hotel room, including returning a rental car, in less than 40 minutes. Granted I have precheck, and it was mid morning on a Thursday so not a ton of traffic, and I was only going to Terminal A, but 37 minutes is 37 minutes.



Would stay again.

Danielle Grant and Martia Harris were both excellent! They were very accommodating and made our stay very pleasant! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They both deserve praise & a raise!!!

Very quiet stay during the continuing Covid19 pandemic. From all appearances Renaissance is doing quite a good job in keeping in step with CDC protocols. Room was clean with a good selection of the requisite amenities and minimal furnishings including mouthwash, a refrigerator and coffee/tea maker. With some hotels getting rid of bathtubs I love that there's one available. One could easily get lost in the Renaissance pillows(4) as they are so soft which makes for a restless night sleep for me. All in all a nice stay.

Older hotel but has been updated in some areas of the rooms and public areas. Our room was very clean and perfect for a 22 hour layover. Restaurant was pricey but food was good despite the limited menu. Only negative was the drains in the tub and sink were clogged. Amazing how most hotels simply can't get the drain thing right. Not worth reporting to front desk as it would have been highly inconvenient for us to let them in to fix. This needs to be solved prior to guest arrival. Airport shuttle was great and very prompt. Would stay here again on a layover.

The front desk staff was great. Parking was affordable and the room was clean. The airport shuttle comes every 15 minutes. This hotel has the best hotel gym I ever seen

Mr. Rodriguez went out of his way to help me when I realized I left my valuables in the safe. He personally made sure to retrieve and get them back safely to me. Plus, they have the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept on.

Absolutely wonderful. We got [email protected] 2AM due to flight Celsius and they still had our room saved. The staff was wonderful and couldn't have been any nicer. The rooms were super clean and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

used the hotel airport shuttle.... arrived on time... clean... reasonable rates for parking... well-lit lot... easy self park... good alternative to higher-priced parking options

Outstanding room. Comfortable bed. Convenient location and prompt shuttle to Newark airport. The park and fly package is completely worth it and highly recommended. The restaurant and bar is great too.

Nice. Accommodations were great. Staff very professional. Rooms was spacious. However, the wallpaper was peeling in the bathroom. Other than that, it was decent for a spur of the moment reservation.

My stay at the Renaissance was very pleasant, and I felt very welcome. During my work conference, the staff was very polite and the food was delicious! Most importantly, Christian, at the front desk, provided the most amazing service. If not for him making accommodations for my friends and I, we would have missed our flight. He made sure to communicate our needs to the staff, and we truly appreciate what he has done for us!

I called few hotels in the neighborhood before ordering, and here I got the most courteous answer. When I arrived, check-in took only 30 seconds! No passport scanning, filling out papers or other BS. Ultra fast internet speed. Comfortable beds. What else do you need. And let me especially praise Mrs. Keri which was one of the most professional hotel staff member ever encountered. So quick and helpful! Thanks!

Nice, clean hotel with very friendly staff. The rooms are clean and modern. Marriott Brand never disappoints. What's most impressive is the gym! It's a huge gym with lots of workout equipment. From free weights to Peloton bikes, this gym has it all. The equipment is new and well maintained. Do not be lazy and lock yourself in the room. Go to the gym and energize 😊 💪 Really enjoyed the stay here.

Shuttle service to & from airport.. clean rooms. Good food at their restaurant. Attending a 3 day conference. Hotel extremely busy as few vacancies left due to other functions/groups and several banquets going on at same time.. Daily Banquets were excellent at our convention.. Great hard working staff..

Nice, clean, updated hotel. Friendly staff. Thank you.

I would definitely park at the Renaissance every time I travel. Super cheap 6 dollars and change a day. No extra free or hidden fees. Just tax included. I parked for 16 days and it was only 120

dollars and change. Lots of parking. Once you make your reservation, you need to check in at the hotel. You’ll get a yellow ticket to place on your dashboard and voila. The shuttle bus comes every 15 minutes or every 30 depending on the time. You conveniently wait at the lobby for it. Upon arrival, you’ll have to take the AirTrain to the parking designated on a small printed card given to you at the time of check in at the hotel. Don’t lose it or take a pic of it just like I did. When I got to the hotel, I greeted the receptionist and told her, “I’m here to pick up my car.” And she signaled to go. No checking or waiting for someone to pick up your car. Hassle free! You’ll have to park behind the hotel and that’s fine. Just walk through the lobby and use the back doors. I parked right in front of them so it was easy. Definitely recommend. The hotel is beautiful and super clean. My daughter liked it!

Great hotel for rest in case you have a long airport delay. Free shuttle and very close to airport. Enjoy breakfast and gym.

Comfortable, clean room- no real thrills at this hotel. This hotel is starting to really show wear as the carpet was coming up and big paint chips in the tub. My biggest gripe was the thermostat, which seems to be different in each room- mine just wouldn’t shut off and stopped cooling at 68. Regardless, I got a good nights sleep and was greeted by a surprisingly friendly staff. Breakfast in the morning, while free based on my status- is not worth the cost by any means.

Great place to stay for an early flight out of EWR. Comfortable beds, responsive staff and one of the best airport shuttles I've used.



The only slight con is that room bathrooms could use a refresh for more counter space. The bathrooms, though slightly dated, are still very clean. No complaints.



There's also a very large gym if you want to get a workout in. Nice variety of machines and weights.

Bed was nice, internet worked well but the restaurant was not very impressive. I ordered delivery for the second night stay. It is nice that they have an airport shuttle for free.

Great place to park. With one of the cheapest and very secure parking spots. Quick shuttle ride to airport.Hotel looks great and I would like to stay at it next time and start my vacay 1 day before I fly. Travel should be so relaxing.

The bartenders are the best people you could ask for. Rosemary and suptemah. They literally make you feel at home. They care about your food choice and just who you are. The gym is freaking amazing now. Its huge. You couldn't ask for it to be better. Food is good. Rooms could use a face lift.

Only parked here. Go to the hotel counter, they’ll give you a paper to put on the dash. Shuttle runs every 30 mins. On the return, shuttle picks up at p4 (take the air tram), shuttle has Renaissance decals easy to spot. Smooth process overall.

Lovely hotel and the decor was quite modern. They have free wifi and a large fitness center. Front desk staff was very welcoming. Very cosy environment. Great stay and very close to the airport. They offer a hotel shuttle service to and from the airport and a nice discount on food. Highly recommended.

What a great team. The chat team the restaurant team the lounge team all were top flight. If you are looking for a great property with great people this is your stop. Thanks so much for the great stay .....see you next time.

Great stop-over hotel. Clean and tidy and lovely staff. Breakfast is great too.

Super clean and comfortable rooms. Nice staff. Convenient location. Good prices and you can bring your dog :)

Absolutely wonderful. We got [email protected] 2AM due to flight delay and they still had our room saved. The staff was wonderful and couldn't have been any nicer. The rooms were super clean and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

The gym alone is all you need!!! Bed was nice. Room clean. Bathroom a bit cramped. Shower pressure was great!! Although I did fall because it was slippery so be careful. Clean in was fast and staff was great. Taking many steps to keep us safe. Not much around because It is an airport hotel but they had a restaurant and coffee to buy in the morning! Good stay.

Ideal for the airport parking. After I booked the parking on 3rd party site, my plans have changed and I needed to shift the dates by a day. They did it free of charge when I checked in. Best spot to park is behind the building next to the back doors. Once arrived at P4, called them and the shuttle arrived in 1 min.

Beautiful hotel. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Great rates! Will definitely consider again next time I need to travel to NJ

Comfiest beds ever! Slept like a log. Room was a bit warm and there was paint splattered on the tub but otherwise, clean and comfortable.

Very nice decor. Parking is SO good because they don't charge you for your time there! King size bed was AMAZING

Brian the manager and his staff were the best, he was working last evening when we checked in and was there to great us this morning , just one of the nicest and professional men I've had the pleasure to meet. Thanks to this hotel and all of re remodeling upgrades, the gym is the bomb and I can't wait to be able to use it. Can't wait to visit this hotel again.

Super nice and accommodating staff. Gym looked sizable and nice from the outside, unfortunately it was closed during my visit (obviously understandable given the circumstances!) Microwave in the lobby with plastic ware. The entire hotel was very clean.

Nice and friendly hotel. Very close to EWR with very frequent shuttle (15min day and 30min at night).

The restaurant is decent. Also try the Portuguese or Spanish restaurants near by. Both are pretty good.

The service really defined this hotel for me. From my first interaction with the shuttle driver all the way through until another shuttle driver dropped me off everyone at the hotel was amazing. The only issue I had was the showerhead felt like it was placed too far down, but maybe that was just in comparison to the other hotels I was staying at.

The restaurant was acceptable and the beer was descent. What more can you ask for when you just need an airport hotel for a night? Definitely a place I will return to.

Excellent customer service. Very professional and efficient front desk. Highly recommended!

Really a very helpful and wonderful staff! I parked my car there for more than a month. When I tried to leave, the battery was dead. The reception called someone who came immediately and jump started my car. Really appreciate their prompt help and service! Thank you!

Room 306

Five minutes to airport, free shuttle every 15 minutes. Nice covered sitting/smoking area out front.

Nice large gym and decent restaurant both on the first floor. Rooms have streaming which is great.

Cleanest affordable hotel in nj !! Staff should get A+ From BBB !! Rooms are very comfortable ,updated & clean!! We will definitely make this our get away whenever we come to NJ Or NYC! Thank you to all the staff stay blessed & Leveled up!🥂🍾✅🙌🙌

The gym is open! Just go to the front desk, fill up a small questionnaire and they will give you the key to the gym. The machines are new and great. I believe the gym was built over the old indoor pool. Plenty of space.

Amazing gym for a hotel and comfortable rooms. Hotel restaurant is very good. Convenient to EWR airport

Attended the 2021 CII Connie Awards on 12/6. Facilities were clean and impressive for an awards banquet. Staff was friendly, attentive and helpful throughout the event.

Don't forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking any place. This web site will compare hundreds of booking web sites and normally will have rooms a lot cheaper than others! Thank me later! This hotel is one of the best in this area. I've been coming here for years. If you stay for a few nights you definitely won't be disappointed.

I was only there to pick up family member, the family used their paid parking for their vacation, but needed extra car to get home. The airport is across the street. The parking was very convenient from the time they called to say they were waiting for the shuttle till they got to the parking lot was only about 15 min on a busy travel weekend. It is gated with a person at the gate who tells you where to park and how to get a ticket. I went to the front desk to get a parking ticket for the time I waited. The desk person was very friendly and helpful! The lobby was beautiful and they had an outside area with benches so guest can sit outside. I would def use this option if I need to leavey car the next time I fly out of Newark.

Nice hotel. Not very pedestrian friendly if you like walks. Good size gym with lots of machines. Great front desk team.

I thought I’ve knew this hotel as a prior Newark resident but when I walk in it was sooo not familiar. The staff was really accommodating, the workout facility and rooms were designed beautifully, modern and very comfortable I would definitely stay here again as it’s close to the airport yet close enough to downtown Newark or Elizabeth. I wish I took pictures… next time 😁

I had a great stay at the Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling through Newark Airport.

Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Airport shuttle was quick and convenient. Fitness center is huge and very impressive for a hotel. The only downside was the breakfast, which was a safe average, I'd expect a little more for the price, but overall it was a great stay.

Excellent hotel to stay at the night before an early morning flight. Clean, safe, well appointed. Nice restaurant/bar in the lobby so you don't even have to leave the property! Will definitely stay here again!

The hotel was very nice and modern. However, I just wish I got better sleep! Someone's car alarm kept going off all night! The hotel needs to do a better job at having people update their vehicle information, even if online for covid reasons obviously.

checking in was extremely easy and fast. Never had anything quicker. The room was clean. Worth it for the price

Hotel was in a nice secluded area. The gym and cafe were both available as well as a little snack counter in the lobby. Housekeeping was available each morning as well. 10/10 stay

This was my first time in a renaissance and it did not disappoint! We were here for 6 days and 5 nights for the Summit Learning conference. The food, hotel rooms, bar area and staff were AMAZING! One housekeeper in particular, Frances, she was phenomenal! She was very welcoming, polite and kept the women's bathroom in the lobby CLEAN! I would definitely stay here again if we come back to the Newark area!

Great stay and Great staff! I lost my CELINE shades at the bar and they found them for me safe and sound what a big relief that was to me!!!! View from airport. Everything was just great. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Definitely coming back.

Nice hotel with conference facilities. Plenty of parking ($18 per day) rooms are clean and comfortable. Nice breakfast if it included in your room price. Nice bar area.

Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the minute we walked in the door, Christian went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. The rooms are large and the beds along with the bedding are very comfortable. I would definitely bring my family here to stay again!

Convenient location and updated Marriott. Rooms are very nice, staff is friendly and professional and the concierge lounge has excellent food variety. It is amazingly quiet as well despite being right at the airport. Even room to room you can sleep in peace not hearing what's going on next door

As a frequent hotel stayer of the Elizabeth/Newark area, I will absolutely be staying here again. Super friendly and accommodating staff. Not even a stain to be found, comforting clean

Great hotel. Fantastic views of New York City, great restaurant, very clean and accomodating rooms, and fantastic restaurant.

Make sure to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking a place. They compare countless booking websites and normally will have rooms a lot cheaper than others! You're welcome :)! This hotel is the best rated in this area. I've been staying here for a long time. If you choose this place you for sure won't be disappointed.



Excellent hotel to stay at the night before an early morning flight. Clean, safe, well appointed. Nice restaurant/bar in the lobby so you don't even have to leave the property! Will definitely stay here again!

The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and very clean. They have the best hotel gym I’ve ever seen

Not a bad hotel. It is much better than my stay at the Doubletree Newark airport!! It was clean and the food at the restaurant was alright. The only disappointing thing was the bathroom. Looked old and basic. Also, the faucet in the shower did was broken so I was not able to take a shower that evening.

We stayed here in June 2017 for the Teen Wolf convention, everything was great and we had so much fun. The bus driver was incredibly kind giving us a ride to the airport even though his shift was over, or else we would have missed our return flight

Pleasantly surprised. I had not stayed here before, and chose it due to the good price. But it was an amazing value. Nice rooms- comfortable and cozy. Great beds. Nice bathroom. Plenty of space. OK restaurant. Great location. And best of all, the front desk staff was friendly and professional and knowledgeable about the area. 10 / 10 would recommend.

Easy to get to from airport. Shuttle was quick and frequent. Rooms are comfortable and quiet. Very good beds.

The hotel itself was clean and comfortable and deserves 5 stars. Front desk staffers Roger and Erica were very helpful and caring and deserve 10 stars.



However, Renaissance/Marriott central booking deserves zero stars for incompetence (or attempted credit card theft) and zero stars for the apparent lack of commiseration for a guest’s predicament — that was caused by them.



Prior to arriving, I was stranded at Newark airport at 1:30 a.m. due to flight cancellation, and I called the Renaissance reservation (central booking) number. The man I spoke with took all my information, including credit card and said the confirmation would be sent to me. I got the shuttle and at the hotel discovered that the confirmation never came and it was not in the system. From the get go, Roger, at the front desk, treated me as a guest with a problem and not as problem guest. In trying to track down my reservation, in order not to have me end up double booked (charged), he spoke with an agent at the number I called, and she got offended when he told her that red flags went up as they were trained to never take credit card info over the phone. She proceeded to go on a verbal tear about him trying to tell her how to do her job. Although Roger tried to politely end the call by telling her it was nearly 3 a.m. and that he had a very tired guest he wanted to get settled in, she continued for over 10 minutes. End result he made a reservation for me, comped me water and wifi, and best of all, extended checkout time for me so that I could rest up more before my flight the next evening. (All was his suggestion, I didn’t even think to ask for anything.)



The central booking reservation didn’t show up the next day on my credit card, so I promptly canceled my card.

Shuttle took about an hour to pick up but hotel made amends quickly and was very apologetic. Hotel was comfortable and accommodating. Staff was incredibly kind
