Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Newark (Airport EWR) Hilton Gateway at Penn Station

Amenities: Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Internet

I've been using Hotwire to stay at the Newark Airport for years and checked this site before booking, so I was surprised and very unhappy to see that the hotel was not at the airport but at Penn Station (downtown Newark), not where I wanted to be at all. Called Hotwire immediately and was told "Sorry, didn't you check the map?" I'm not sure most people could make heads or tails of the map but people should know that the EWR map covers all of Newark and that there is no assurance that you will be at a hotel near the airport. Anyway, then I called the hotel to see if perhaps I could transfer the reservation to the Airport Hilton even if it meant paying more and no dice, the hotel isn't able to touch Hotwire reservations. Plus parking is $20 at this Hilton. So after years of being a happy Hotwire customer, I don't see how I can use it for the Newark Airport again.

Thank you for sharing your results with the board and helping us add this prpoerty to the Hotwire Hotel List.

Fortunately this hotel does offer a shuttle to the airport as some hotels in this immediate area don't... or charge a fee for such (not sure if the Hilton does or not)

Try to enjoy your stay.
