Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Newark International Airport

I stayed here for two nights so I will try and give a balanced evaluation of the hotel. I was looking for a hotel that is not expensive and a hotel within driving driving distance to Liberty State park to catch a ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and Expedia brought this hotel up and so I booked it. Here are my thoughts of the Hotel: Pros: 2 night for cheap; a great deal for such a busy weekend! The hotel is near the airport, which is a very good place to stay. It is also within driving distance to major places such as Manhattan and other New Jersey cities. This hotel is 16 minutes to Liberty State park and the Hudson area. It is considerably clean when we entered the room. The customer service was wonderful; the women at the front desk talked calmly and professionally. There's free shuttle ride that leaves the hotel every 30 mins or so to the airport where you can also catch a bus or train to NYC and other locations. Free Wifi and TV. There was a smaller fridge which was awesome. The restaurant closes late so its an alternative to eating out, although we were so tired to go there and eat. We ordered Chinese food to our room. The driver delivered it to us at the lobby. Cons: No breakfast for us! It is not included in their online pkg, so I was told to pay at the desk inside the Cafe after or before breakfast. That was sucks, I didn't see that coming. No microwave so we had to go downstairs looking for one. Parking is $16.50, who does that to customers? If you plan to drive out of the premise, you must update your ticket - which slows things down. The machine will take your ticket and then you'll have to get a new one when driving in, else you'll pay extra cash when checking out. The hotel is situated outside of the Newark International airport so all access roads have tolls: if you don't have a EZPass transponder, you'll have to pay tolls by cash on you way in and out of the hotel. This is sick especially if you wanna go out for dinner or shopping multiple times. It is hard to find or to get to so you must have a GPS. Filling in the bath tab is extremely loud; I joked with my friend that it sounds like a waterfall lol. The tab was extremely slow to drain so we had to get out before it filled up. When the water drained, the tab collected all kinds of hair, dirt etc. The shower head was quite lose so water shoots out of it in all direction when taking a shower. I observed the ceiling paints peeling off as a result. Room service was terrible: I put out the "Pls don't disturb" sign outside our door because we woke up late, and after 9 am I remove the sign and put it inside the left the room. We returned around 6-7 pm and found our room in the same condition when we left in the morning - no one dared to check or vacuum as with other hotels. I left cleaners zero tip! WiFi was okay, but not the fastest. I will not stay here again, but for travelers in and out of Newark Airport, or if you are stuck in Newark or late to your flight, this is a good place to stay. My own experience doesn't make this hotel a bad place!
