Top Downtown Newark Hotel Reviews

Arlo Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was nice and helpful. Location was great if you’re wanting to be close to Broadway. The coffee shop was great. Only thing was, when I go in rooms I wipe down common areas with Clorox wipes. It was evident that those side tables don’t get cleaned."

Hyatt Regency Times Square

8/10 Good

"I read that this property was remodeled in 2025, but our room didn't look that up to date. I stayed here when it was The Crown Plaza so knew that the location was great! It's also one of the few properties with 2 queen beds. So it fit the bill. We also had AC issues 2 out of the 5 nights, but the hotel took care of us. If you're looking for a great location, then this is your property."

Hotel St. James

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at Hotel St. James were amazing and incredibly accommodating. Although the room was small, it was comfortable and had everything we needed for our one-night stay. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was relaxed and welcoming, making it a pleasant place to stay. We would definitely consider staying here again on a future visit to New York City."
