I was here for two events at the Prudential Center and another in Madison Square Garden. I usually drive into NYC but decided that it was time to pay respects to the current Mayoir of Newark, and all he does, and try staying there. This is a very good hotel. It is attached by walkways -- well-lighted and safe as can be -- to the intersection immediately  beside the Prudential Center and to Newark Penn Station, where the NJ Transit trains are easily decipherable and will have you in NYC Penn Station in 18 minutes for five bucks each way. Parking was $21 a day under the hotel, but it was paid if you stayed at the Hilton. There was a very good bar/cafe just off the lobby, and although it was a bit pricey it was not out of the ordinary. Also in the walkway shoppes were a Starbucks, Subway, a full deli, gift shop, sports club, newsstand, and several other businesses. It was all very convenient.Trying to find a complaint isn't easy. I did notice that the walls and doors are thin, but no one seems to notice because the guests are all polite. The staff was exceedingly helpful. This is a great place to stay if you want to avoid the downtown NYC prices. It is also a great spot ifyou are driving from the west, as I did, because you can depart without having to fight through the Hudson tunnels or the GW Bridge.

The Newark Penn Station location is excellent if you want quick and easy access to AmTrak, PATH (World Trade Center), and NJ Transit (New York Penn Station). That said the hotel is showing it's age, and the it was quite noisy (hallway noise). We had a few issues, but the staff were very nice and worked to resolve them as quickly as possible. The neighborhood  doesn't seem the best, but we didn't have any trouble with the directly connected skybridge (even more run down), and sadly the shops mainly catered to a work week schedule.

This is a great location if you're visiting Manhattan. There is a walkway over to Newark Penn Station, from where there are regular NJT and PATH trains to Manhattan. And also just a stone's throw from Newark Liberty Airport, to which they operate a free hourly shuttle. Then there are those trademark Hilton beds that appear to be made out of fresh c  loud.

Our primary goal was to have access to the Newark Penn Station and this Hotel not only provided the ultimate ease of getting to the terminal but was also very clean and well maintained. We had a wonderful time and will be back again.

Decided to stay here knowing my family was just sleeping here. We didn't want to drive into the city. That worked out as expected. Trains were always crowded no matter what time. The biggest surprise was there are no restaurants to really go to around the immediate area. The outside area is too dangerous to walk around. Bottom line, hotel staff really  great. Location awful. Convenient access to trains. I would spend more money next time and stay in a better place.

Hotel is very convenient to go to Prudential Center only walk about 100 yards outside rest is inside about 1/4 mile away. Train station same deal but closer. 20 minutes max to NYC Penn Station and MSG by train. During week lots of little shops/quick eat places near lobby, weekends need to walk a block or so. Hotel has lounge which is OK. I thought food  prices a little steep, but typical hotel costs. Front desk staff was excellent helped me get in room a couple hours early and stored lugggage until I did. Overall a good experience!

I stay at this hotel every time I come to NYC/NJ area. To go to NYC, all we have to do is hop on to the NJ Path, which is at the cross from the Hotel. Price is less than half of what we'll pay in manhattan for same star rating. Hilton Newark Penn Hotel is very clean and staff are VERY nice and even go out of their way to help you. We usually drive,  so it is great that they have parking lot right next to it. With one flat fee, we can take car in and out all day. Very convenient. Even though it's in Newark, NJ, it doesn't seems like rest of Newark due to businesses around Penn station. We often come back to the Hotel early am, we don't find any problems except NYC metro slows down a lot! I highly recommend it!

The Staff was Super from start to finish! From the second we stepped out of the car we had a splendid stay! All I had to do was ask and I could get anything from the desk from maps to train information. It was the St. Patty's Day weekend and the whole town was spirited. This is a great hotel to stay in for NJ Devils games as one can walk via skyway  to within 100 yds of the Prudential Center.

This hotel meets expectations brought to mind by the name Hilton. Parking is free with hotel validation. The concourse from the Hilton to Newark Penn Station protects from the weather, etc. The Path Train to Manhattan could not be simpler, more affordable or convenient. The commute is not insignificant but for the lesser price, worth it.
