Top Kean University Hotel Reviews

The Kenilworth Hotel - Airport West

8/10 Good

"my sure your refrigerator work"

WoodSpring Suites Linden

8/10 Good

"Belle hotel avec prix abordable"

Ritz Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Business friendly"

Newark Hansbury Multi Level House

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean place the lady in charge is very friendly and respectful"

GG Rest Inn

8/10 Good

"I read reviews, so had low expectations. Given that, this place was fine for my needs. Room was clean, no bugs. Decent guy running the place. Would have appreciated a towel, but was 3 am by time I realized there was none, so didn't ask. TV remote same; couldn't find a switch on the box. Though room was clean enough, cleaner smell was heavy; window didn't open, so I had to open door for a good while to circulate air. Road noise is a lot as folks said, but that doesn't bother me. Address, Maple but actual entrance facing US1, plus changing names of motel, can be confusing for rideshare drivers, so be ready to clarify location; my first got close then canceled. There are motels closer to EWR, but this one was cheaper; however, for future reference, it might be possible to walk from EWR to Motel 6. Bus here to Rest Inn was tricky, but just $3 +transfer or mile walk, and Uber from EWR wanted $70."

Divine Villa and Resort - 32 Evergreen

10/10 Excellent

"All I needed was a room with a lock, and a bed to sleep on. I got that. Bear in mind that there is no staff on site, and the facilities like bathroom and kitchen are shared amenities. The day you arrive you receive the codes needed to enter the building and to access your room. I arrived very late at night and left first thing in the morning. I genuinely do not know whether or not there were any other guests in the building. I had no trouble accessing the bathroom, but you should bear in mind that others may be using it. You should plan your schedule with buffer time for showering etc in case any other guests may be using it when you need it."
