Hotels Near Newark Liberty International Airport
Newark Liberty International Airport serves New York from the New Jersey side, and the hotels around it are built for one thing: getting you to the terminal quickly. Almost every property on this page runs an airport shuttle, often free and around the clock, from the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott and the Hilton Newark Airport, both rated 8.0 by about 4,000 guests, to the hotels of Elizabeth just south of the airport. Review scores here are steady rather than high, mostly between 7.2 and 8.4, so I give more weight to the shuttle, the review volume and what each hotel offers on site.
The airport sits between the city of Newark and Elizabeth, surrounded by highways, the port and business parks rather than sights. Downtown Newark and Penn Station lie a short ride north, and Manhattan is further away across the Hudson, which is why travelers with an early flight usually sleep in this airport belt instead of in New York.
Where to stay near the airport
Why sleep beside Newark before flying
The main reason to stay near Newark Liberty International Airport is a calm, predictable start to your trip: a night beside the airport replaces an early drive from New York with a short shuttle ride. The hotels on this page are chosen for that proximity, with shuttle hotels on the airport roads, family-sized suites in Elizabeth and a few options in downtown Newark, so you can match the choice to your flight and the length of your stay.
The big airport hotels are the simplest choice for an early departure. The Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott offers a free airport shuttle, a grill restaurant, a bar and a fitness center, with an 8.0 score from almost 3,900 reviews. The Hilton Newark Airport runs a free 24-hour shuttle and adds an indoor pool, also rated 8.0 by more than 4,000 guests. The Crowne Plaza Newark Airport, an IHG Hotel, offers a free shuttle around the clock too, with a 7.4 score. For a night before a dawn flight, a round-the-clock shuttle matters more than anything else, and these three provide it.
If you want breakfast included or more space, several hotels combine the shuttle with practical extras. The Hampton Inn Newark Airport offers a complimentary shuttle, free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking, with a 7.8 score from more than 3,300 reviews. Embassy Suites by Hilton Newark Airport is an all-suite hotel with a free shuttle, included breakfast, an indoor pool and a hot tub, rated 8.0. SpringHill Suites by Marriott Newark Liberty International Airport has kitchenettes in every room, an indoor pool and a hot tub. These suit families or travelers who arrive late and leave early.
Elizabeth, just south of the airport, has a cluster of reliable mid-range hotels. The Courtyard by Marriott Newark Elizabeth, the Residence Inn by Marriott Newark Elizabeth/Liberty International Airport and the Holiday Inn Express Newark Airport - Elizabeth by IHG all score 8.0 and offer an airport shuttle, the last one with free breakfast and free parking. The Residence Inn is an extended-stay hotel, which I would choose for a longer trip or a family. The Kenilworth Hotel - Airport West, with a complimentary shuttle and an 8.4 score from almost 1,500 guests, is another solid option on this side.
Not every hotel here is beside the runway, so check the transfer before booking. TRYP by Wyndham Newark Downtown and the DoubleTree by Hilton Newark Penn Station are in downtown Newark and still offer an airport shuttle, which makes them useful if you also have business in the city. The Hilton Garden Inn New York/Staten Island, rated 8.4, sits across the water on Staten Island and runs a shuttle to the airport. My rule: an airport-road hotel with a 24-hour shuttle for a dawn flight, Elizabeth for a family, and downtown Newark when your plans include the city.
A traveler's takeMy advice is to look first at the shuttle hours. For a dawn departure, I would choose a hotel with a free 24-hour shuttle, such as the Hilton Newark Airport or the Crowne Plaza Newark Airport. For a family or a longer stay, the suites of the Embassy Suites or the Residence Inn in Elizabeth give more space. And since scores here rarely go above 8.4, I would favor hotels whose rating rests on thousands of reviews over a perfect note from a handful of guests.
