Where to stay

Best areas in Newark for a hot tub stay

Not every area in Newark hits the same vibe. Here's where each verified property actually sits, and what each pocket feels like at night.

University of Delaware Campus (Ogletown Rd / Main Street)

On the University of Delaware campus corridor along Ogletown Road and David Hollowell Drive, two Marriott-brand hotels serve the UD academic, athletic and campus-visit market. The SpringHill Suites by Marriott Newark Downtown (4.5, 76 reviews) at 402 Ogletown Road is the TOP-RATED Newark pick — 4-star with pool, free breakfast, fitness center, kids-stay-free rooms, spacious West-Elm-designed suites, walking-distance to Main Street Newark and named front-desk agent Ella. Recent 1-star flag on a car-revving disruption during a sports-event weekend. The Courtyard by Marriott Newark-University of Delaware (4.2, 307 reviews) at 400 David Hollowell Drive is the on-campus Marriott — pet-friendly, bar/lounge, fitness center, conference facilities, guest-favorite crab cakes at the on-site restaurant and named staff Taj, Ador and bartender Ed. Recent flags include a 1-star double-charge complaint via third-party booking and a 3-star older-property flag. Best for UD parents, prospective-student campus tours, Blue Hens sports weekends, UD graduation and Homecoming visitors and UD-linked business travelers wanting walking-distance to Main Street Newark and the UD campus.

I-95 / Route 273 / Chapman Road (Christiana Corridor)

On the I-95 / Route 273 / Chapman Road corridor 5 minutes east of Christiana Mall and ChristianaCare Christiana Hospital, three hotels serve I-95 and hospital-visit travelers. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington-Newark by IHG (4.4, 327 reviews) at 1201 Christiana Road is the top-rated pick — 4-star HIE with pool, free breakfast, fitness center, kids-stay-free and cleanliness 4.7. Recent flags: 3-star pool-closed-Mondays and 3-star housekeeping-once-in-5-nights over July 4 weekend. Staybridge Suites Wilmington-Newark by IHG (4.3, 237 reviews) at 270 Chapman Road is an extended-stay all-suite with kitchens, pool (SHARED with attached Ramada per candid review), free breakfast, cleanliness 4.7 headline but with RECURRING roach flags in 2023 AND 2024, worn furniture, dirty tub and Ramada-guest overflow with no staff oversight. Four Points by Sheraton Newark-Christiana (3.9, 171 reviews) at 56 South Old Baltimore Pike is a mid-range 3-star with bar/lounge, kid-friendly amenities, airport transportation and pet-friendly — a 1-star no-hotel-keys stay and a 1-star mold-blanket complaint balanced against a 5-star Valentine's Day. Best for I-95 corridor travelers, ChristianaCare-hospital family visits, extended-stay contract workers and Christiana Mall shoppers.

Christiana / Churchmans Road (Value Interstate)

On the Churchmans Road / Christiana Mall side and I-95 exits, two value-interstate motels round out the Newark cluster with heavy candid warnings. The Days Inn by Wyndham Newark Wilmington (2.9, 493 reviews) at 900 Churchmans Road is a 2-star budget motel — pet-friendly, kids-stay-free, 24-hour check-in — but a 1-star recent guest changed rooms 3 times for personal-safety concerns (broken door latch, sketchy men in surrounding rooms) and a 3-star flagged the pool being out-of-commission for 2 years. The Motel 6 Newark, DE (2.3, 48 reviews) at 100 McIntosh Plaza is the STRONGEST WARNING — 2-star with cleanliness 2.2 and rooms 2.2 and multiple mold, dirt, roach and safety flags across years. Book Motel 6 only with extreme caution. Best only for value-first interstate travelers who accept the safety and cleanliness signals and cannot find alternate lodging.

Things to do in Newark

Beyond the hotel room

University of Delaware campus is the anchor — 24,000+ students on a walkable campus in downtown Newark, with Delaware Stadium (Blue Hens football, September-November home games), Bob Carpenter Center (basketball), Trabant University Center, the historic Old College and the Green. Blue Hens football home Saturdays fill Newark hotels 3-4 months out; UD graduation weekends in May and December do the same.

Main Street Newark is a walkable college-town restaurant and shopping strip stretching from South College Ave — Deer Park Tavern (established 1851), Home Grown Cafe, Klondike Kate's Restaurant & Saloon, Iron Hill Brewery Newark, Grotto Pizza, Newark Natural Foods Co-op and dozens of student-focused spots. The SpringHill Suites Newark Downtown is walking-distance.

Christiana Mall is 5 minutes east of the I-95 hotels — Delaware's largest tax-free shopping mall (Delaware charges no sales tax, a regional draw). Anchor tenants Nordstrom, Macy's, Target, Apple, and Cinemark Christiana IMAX.

ChristianaCare Christiana Hospital medical complex is 5 minutes east — Delaware's largest hospital system and a major driver of family-visit and medical-conference stays. The HIE Suites and Staybridge Suites are the natural hospital-visit bases.

Brandywine du Pont estates — Hagley, Winterthur, Nemours — are 25 minutes north for gardens, decorative-arts museums and the Louis XVI mansion. White Clay Creek State Park just north of Newark offers hiking and fly-fishing. Delaware Park casino and racetrack is 10 minutes north for slots and thoroughbred racing.

Wilmington Riverfront is 20 minutes north for Blue Rocks minor-league baseball at Frawley Stadium and the Delaware Contemporary museum. Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square PA is 30 minutes north. Spring brings du Pont gardens; summer runs Christiana Mall sales and quieter campus; fall is Blue Hens football and du Pont fall foliage; winter is UD graduation, Christiana Mall Black Friday and holiday shopping.

For couples

Why a Newark hot tub suite works for romance

For couples, the SpringHill Suites Newark Downtown (4.5/76) is the top-rated Newark pick — West-Elm-designed spacious suites, pool, free breakfast and walking-distance to Main Street Newark for dinner and a Deer Park Tavern beer. The Courtyard by Marriott (4.2/307) on campus offers bar/lounge with guest-favorite crab cakes. The HIE Suites (4.4/327) is the top-rated I-95 pick with pool, cleanliness 4.7 and reliable IHG-brand experience. Skip the Staybridge (roach flags), Four Points (mixed signals), Days Inn (safety flags) and Motel 6 (strongest warning) for a couples weekend. None of the 7 Newark hotels advertise in-room jacuzzis — they are pool-and-comfort or budget-value properties. For a Delaware in-room-jacuzzi or historic-B&B couples splurge from Newark, drive 15 minutes east to Bear for shared-hot-tub value, 20 minutes north to Wilmington for The Westin Riverfront, 25 minutes east to Odessa for the 5.0-rated Miller-Dunham House B&B (Delaware state marquee with confirmed in-room jacuzzi), or 90 minutes south to Rehoboth Beach for The Bellmoor Inn & Spa.

Many of the Newark properties below offer extras on request — champagne service, rose-petal turn-down, or late check-out. Mention your occasion at booking; most front desks try to help.

"Stayed here for just a night passing through. Cat at the front desk was super friendly and helpful! Rooms were clean, the sheets actually smelled amazing compared to most hotels. The free breakfast was great, coffee was as good as you can get for free coffee. No complaints! I would stay here again if I was passing through."
— Corinne Bright, 2 months ago · 5/5

"Hotel staff was friendly. Pool had great hours, 5am-10pm, and checkout wasn't until noon. They have suites for larger families that are reasonably priced. The free breakfast was good. Great value for the price!"

"This hotel really helped us when we got stuck in a bind with another hotel for our wedding block. We needed more rooms for guest just a month and a half before our wedding. Chloe and Stacie were super helpful and quick to get us a block for our wedding. We heard nothing but great things about their stay from our guests as well."

"I stay here a lot for work and travel and never have a hard time with my accommodations at check in. The rooms are always clean and the staff is always friendly. Usually when I check in I’m greeted by Ella she is always kind, and does above and beyond. I recommend everyone in the area to stay here"
— ML Brown, 4 weeks ago · 5/5

"I love this hotel, it’s so clean comfortable and well designed. I do wish the pool was heated and the fridge would work automatically but it’s still one of the best hotels in the area!"

Getting here

How to reach Newark

Newark sits on I-95 in New Castle County about 20 minutes southwest of downtown Wilmington and 45 minutes southwest of Philadelphia. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is about 40 minutes north via I-95 and is the preferred flight-in for UD visitors; Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) is about 60 minutes southwest. Wilmington Amtrak Station on the Northeast Corridor is about 20 minutes north for Acela Express and Northeast Regional service to New York (about 90 minutes), Philadelphia (25 minutes), Baltimore (45 minutes) and Washington DC (about 90 minutes). Newark Amtrak/SEPTA Station on South College Ave sits at the SEPTA terminus for Wilmington-Philadelphia commuter rail — limited Amtrak service but the SEPTA option is useful for Philadelphia day trips. The 7 hotels split across UD campus (SpringHill Suites, Courtyard on Ogletown Rd / David Hollowell Dr), I-95/Route 273/Chapman Road (HIE, Staybridge, Four Points, Motel 6) and Churchmans Road at Christiana Mall (Days Inn) — all within a 5-10 minute drive of each other and 5-15 minutes to Christiana Mall. A rental car is recommended for hospital and mall access; the two campus Marriotts are walking-distance to Main Street Newark and UD.

Tub types, explained

What's the difference between a jacuzzi, whirlpool, and soaking tub?

Jacuzzi

Technically a brand name, but used generically for any jetted tub. In hotel listings, "jacuzzi suite" almost always means a private in-room tub with built-in air or water jets. Heat is usually preset; jets are user-controlled.

Whirlpool

Functionally identical to a jacuzzi — water jets circulate heated water for a massage effect. The term is more common at Marriott, Hilton, and Wyndham brands. Most "whirlpool suites" hold two adults comfortably.

Soaking tub

Deeper than a standard bathtub, usually 18–22 inches, but with no jets. Common in boutique and luxury hotels — quieter, more spa-like, and better for a long hot soak than the jet-driven hum of a jacuzzi.

Hot tub

In strict use, a standalone heated tub holding 100°F+ water. In hotel marketing, often used interchangeably with jacuzzi or whirlpool. A genuine in-room "hot tub" with full thermostat control is rare outside cabin-style resorts.

Every listing on this page specifies which type you'll find in the room. We list only properties with the tub in your room — not in a shared pool area or the lobby spa.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Which Newark hotel is highest-rated?

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Newark Downtown (4.5/76) - top-rated Newark pick with West-Elm-designed suites walking to Main Street Newark and UD campus. HIE Suites Wilmington-Newark (4.4/327) is the top-rated I-95 corridor pick.

Do any Newark hotels have in-room jacuzzis?

No - none advertise in-room jacuzzis. For a Delaware in-room-jacuzzi couples splurge from Newark, drive 25 minutes east to Odessa for the 5.0-rated Miller-Dunham House B&B (state marquee with confirmed in-room jacuzzi).

How close is Christiana Mall?

5 minutes east of the I-95 hotels (HIE, Staybridge, Four Points, Motel 6) via I-95 or Route 273. 10 minutes east of the UD campus hotels. Christiana Mall is Delaware's largest tax-free shopping mall.

Which Newark hotels have the strongest candid warnings?

Motel 6 Newark DE (2.3/48) is the STRONGEST WARNING with cleanliness 2.2, rooms 2.2 and mold/roach/safety flags. Days Inn Newark-Wilmington (2.9/493) has a recent 1-star personal-safety complaint. Staybridge Suites (4.3/237) has recurring roach flags in 2023 AND 2024 despite its 4.3 headline rating.

How far is Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)?

About 40 minutes north via I-95 from Newark. Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) is about 60 minutes southwest. Wilmington Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor is 20 minutes north.

For UD prospective student/parent Which Newark hotel is best for a UD campus tour?

The SpringHill Suites by Marriott Newark Downtown (4.5/76) is the TOP-RATED Newark pick — spacious West-Elm-designed suites, pool, free breakfast, kids-stay-free rooms and walking-distance to Main Street Newark's restaurants and the University of Delaware campus. Front-desk agent Ella is specifically named in recent 5-star reviews. The Courtyard by Marriott Newark-University (4.2/307) is the on-campus alternative with bar/lounge and guest-favorite crab cakes. Book both 3-4 months out for UD graduation May and December, and for Blue Hens football Saturdays September-November.

For Blue Hens football fan Which Newark hotel is best for a Blue Hens football weekend?

SpringHill Suites Newark Downtown (4.5) or Courtyard by Marriott Newark-University (4.2) — both are walking-distance to Delaware Stadium. Book Blue Hens football Saturdays 3-4 months out; Homecoming weekend fills first. The Courtyard's bar/lounge and crab cakes make a good post-game dinner spot. If both campus Marriotts are sold out, drop to the I-95 HIE Suites (4.4) 10 minutes east — still very convenient for the drive to Delaware Stadium.

For ChristianaCare hospital family visitor Which Newark hotel is best for ChristianaCare Christiana Hospital?

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington-Newark by IHG (4.4/327) on Christiana Road is the top-rated hospital-corridor pick — 5 minutes to the hospital, pool, free breakfast, cleanliness 4.7 and kids-stay-free rooms. Staybridge Suites (4.3/237) offers extended-stay kitchens for longer patient visits BUT has recurring 2023-2024 roach flags — book with caveats. Ask ChristianaCare about hospital-rate blocks and the shuttle.

For I-95 road-trip layover Which Newark hotel is best for an I-95 layover?

HIE Suites Wilmington-Newark (4.4) is the top-rated I-95 layover pick with pool, free breakfast, cleanliness 4.7 and 5 minutes to Christiana Mall. Four Points by Sheraton (3.9) is the value alternative with bar/lounge and airport transportation but with mixed recent guest voice. Skip the Days Inn (2.9, personal-safety flags) and Motel 6 (2.3, strongest warning) unless you accept the honest signals.

For In-room jacuzzi couple Do any Newark hotels have in-room jacuzzis?

No — none of the 7 Newark hotels advertise in-room jacuzzis or in-room whirlpools. They are pool-and-comfort (SpringHill, Courtyard, HIE, Staybridge, Four Points) or budget-value (Days Inn, Motel 6) properties. For a Delaware in-room-jacuzzi or historic-B&B couples splurge from Newark, drive 15 minutes east to Bear for shared-hot-tub value, 25 minutes east to Odessa for the 5.0-rated Miller-Dunham House B&B (Delaware state marquee with CONFIRMED in-room jacuzzi via traveler photo), 20 minutes north to Wilmington for The Westin Riverfront, or 90 minutes south to Rehoboth Beach for The Bellmoor Inn & Spa.

For Motel 6 or Days Inn caution Should I book the Motel 6 or Days Inn Newark?

Book with extreme caution. Motel 6 Newark DE (2.3/48) is the STRONGEST WARNING - cleanliness 2.2, rooms 2.2 and multiple mold, dirt, roach and safety flags across years. Days Inn Newark-Wilmington (2.9/493) has a recent 1-star personal-safety complaint (guest changed rooms 3 times for broken door latch and sketchy surrounding rooms) and a 3-star pool-out-of-commission-for-2-years flag. Consider dropping down to a Bear (BW Plus, 3.9) or Wilmington (Westin, 4.0) alternative before booking either of these two, or step up to the HIE Suites (4.4) at similar or lower price.

Why trust us

Hand-verified. No AI filler.

Every hotel on this page has been personally verified to have a private, in-room hot tub or jacuzzi — not a shared pool tub, not a bathroom soaker, not a spa amenity you have to book. We cross-check three sources for every listing: the hotel's own room photos and descriptions, recent guest reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, and direct confirmation from the hotel where unclear. We don't take payment for placement, and we don't generate listings with AI. If a hotel's tub status changes or a property closes, the page updates the next time we re-verify the city (Dothan was last checked May 2026).
