Courtyard by Marriott Newark Elizabeth

Location across the mall, close to port and airport

It’s honestly a shame that this hotel is part of Marriott. I have stayed at many Marriott properties before, and this was by far one of the worst experiences. Early check-in was not provided despite requesting it, although that ended up being the least of my concerns. Parts of the hotel seem renovated, while the rest looks extremely outdated and poorly maintained (see the elevator photos). The contrast is very noticeable. Parking was another issue. Even while paying over $30 per night, parking was not always available. The “included breakfast” was honestly a joke. We booked a package with breakfast expecting at least basic options like eggs, toast, or cereal, but what was offered was very disappointing (see uploaded photo). The Bistro staff, specifically the two ladies working there, had some of the worst attitudes I have encountered in hospitality. Very unfriendly and unwelcoming. The rooms also did not include a safety box, which is something I would expect from a Marriott hotel. What bothered me the most was housekeeping entering our room despite us clearly placing the “Do Not Disturb / No Cleaning” sign on the door. We intentionally left the sign because we did not want anyone entering the room, yet we came back to find towels changed and trash emptied. If I wanted service, I would have removed the sign myself. Overall, I will never stay here again. The other nearby hotels are better in every aspect — service, maintenance, and overall experience. I honestly do not understand how Marriott, with its reputation and usual level of service, allows this branch to operate at such a low standard.

Property was clean staff where pleasant and it was convenient location for our stay. I like the airport shuttle and it was easy to navigate to. Rooms were a fantastic size with really comfortable bed and sofa.

Property felt dated. It could use a refresh.

Las camas fenomenal

El desayuno y la bañera

Shuttle at was really crowded and delayed

ממש מול הג׳רזי גרדנס, חדרים גדולים, נקיים וברמה טובה מאוד שאטל לשדה התעופה

La proximité du centre commercial

Vieux ascenseurs

The only thing I liked is that the property was close to the even we were attending for the evening.

My family and I had to wait an hour after our scheduled check in to enter our room because of booking technical difficulties. Staff were unpleasant. Place is not very sanitary for it to be a Marriott. Not worth the value.
