Check in is late 4 pm on top of that at 5:30 pm my room wasn’t ready. Finally got one of my rooms and the sheets were dirty. Reported to the manager but there wasn’t anyone to change the sheets I was given 2 sheets to put on top of the dirty sheets. Beds were smaller than a full but not a twin, weirdly odd and small, mattresses need to be replaced, not comfortable. The police were outside constantly yelling at the cars to move and the homeless people. Parking was expensive $75 overnight without being able to freely come and go. Staff wasn’t out right rude but it was definitely just a job. Being close to Penn Station was the only plus but not enough to recommend or rebook.

Upon arrival, there was some discrepancy with my booking. The lady and gentleman checking me in were very patient and accommodating to me. I had arrived to the hotel before my girlfriend and could not access the room without her. And her phone had died along her trip to the hotel. The pair, asked me to contact the third party and try to change the reservation into my name. I was able to charge my phone in the lobby and then access my room. 10 minutes later I received a call saying that my girlfriend was in the lobby. Mission successful! Thanks! By the way, those cookies were delicious 👍

Great hotel, and located just yards away from Newark Penn train station, so extremely easy access to NYC.

IMPORTANT NOTE: parking is now an entirely separate payment. As of 7/26 the garage next to the hotel costs $70/day, which should be considered when evaluating the room rate.

Overall, the hotel was okay. The room was a very good size but the bathroom was standard but a tad bit outdated. The front desk staff were very helpful and eager to help you. The only problem was the parking situation as the garage right next to the hotel charges insane fees so if you bring a car you might have to park a little farther for a better price (south garage) and walk to the hotel.

No complaints during my stay at this hotel. The check-in was smooth, the staff is accommodating, and the place is clean. It’s near the Newark Penn Station which can take you directly to NYC (World Trade Center) or if you’re visiting for the World Cup, it takes you to MetLife Stadium. Just be aware of your surroundings but apart from that, it was a great stay at this hotel.

We were driving from Philadelphia with the intention of spending one night outside of Manhattan to see the 911 Memorial. We learned about the Doubletree Newark at Penn Station and are so grateful we did. The perfect affordable option to take an easy ride (PATH) to Manhattan to experience the 911 Memorial and get out of the city if that’s what you wanna do.

Not to mention our room had a great shower a great bed and you get chocolate chip cookies when you check in.

I had to wait 30 minutes to check in on top of that there was a lady at the counter who kept letting people cut the line knowing we were all there waiting already and then had to wait another 10-15 minutes to get a room which I had booked as available which wasn’t available so had to wait for the cleaning lady to get it ready. Once we got upstairs the room was clean but there was a big red stain in the carpet which I think the cleaning lady couldn’t get to. If you stay here you will have to have a lot of patience. Good luck with your stay.

I did not enjoy my stay this time, this is my second time staying.

We waited at Liberty Airport's special area for hotel shuttles (no taxis), in the heat, for over an hour before Double Tree's shuttle finally arrived, although it is advertised to come every 30 minutes. We tried several numbers to reach the hotel's front desk, but kept getting AI and the same message, even after selecting 0. The desk clerk did not apologize or even acknowledge our frustration. Our bathroom floor was sticky, the tub had visible dirt and the sink was clogged! There were no complimentary short water bottles in the mini fridge. There is a limited assortment of water and snacks next to the front desk that must be added to your room's bill. Be warned that the breakfast buffet is not complimentary, but is expensive. The restaurant's lunch and dinner menu does have variety, though. When we needed extra towels, we called \"Housekeeping\" and got the front desk instead. We even informed the front desk clerk, in person, before leaving for an event. We only received towels after a housekeeper knocked, late in the day, and said that she never got the message. Expedia should reconsider suggesting Double Tree Penn Station. We obviously, will not be returning!

He just wanted to end his shift. If I had to, I would stay there again. If I didn’t have to, I would pay more to stay somewhere else.

Here’s a polished review you can post on Expedia or Google:

We booked a stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Penn Station through Expedia for my parents, expecting a comfortable and premium experience because of the Hilton brand name. While the rooms were clean, comfortable, and overall decent, the hotel experience itself was disappointing for the price we paid — around 313 CAD for just one night.

The biggest issue was that the hotel lacked basic amenities. The photos online make it appear like there are luxury facilities such as a swimming pool and other premium features, but in reality, there was nothing except a gym. Even basic essentials like dental kits, shower kits, and standard toiletries were not provided. When we asked for bottled water, we were told to refill water from the gym, which honestly felt unreasonable considering the amount charged for the stay.

On the positive side, the staff was supportive, polite, and helpful throughout the stay, which we appreciated. However, overall, the experience did not match the expectations set by the hotel’s branding and online photos. Unfortunately, it did not feel worth the money paid.
