Top Kean University Hotel Reviews

The Kenilworth Hotel - Airport West

8/10 Good

"breakfast was meh! limited amount and variety of in room coffee pods"

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Union

8/10 Good

"Pros: Convenient, good value, strong AC. The oat meal bar was perfect healthy choice, plenty of other good options. The 4 cheese egg bites were a welcome change from the usual runny eggs. Cons: Small amount of noise from near by gas’s station / hwy. It didn’t bother me but my wife noticed it."

Home away from home 5 minutes away EWR Airport

8/10 Good

"The place is real nice and clean and spacious I just wish it had more towels and wash rags and utensils a few other things that the apartment was missing that would meet the stay way better but besides that I had a good time a nice neighborhood lots of space in the yard just a little noisy from the people upstairs when they walk back and forth and the kids playing and stuff but besides that it's pretty good spot"

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."

Large apartment, direct NYC train 5 min walk, MetLife Stadium World Cup 30 mins

8/10 Good

"I feel the property was a decent deal. I wasn’t comfortable leaving my car parked on the street, so I opted to pay for a garage around the corner. Not a heck of a lot better, but made me feel better in the end. The place was clean and there was plenty of room. When we arrived at 10:00 pm it was 85 degrees because the window unit ACs were not on. It took a while to get comfortable. Be prepared as a traveler, there are not a lot of utensils and kitchen supplies. No toaster, paper towels, and little things like a wine cork screw. The kitchen cupboards are pretty bare. It worked fine for our trip and we did have fun."
