What Guests Are Saying
“Lauren at the bar is an asset for this hotel. She is one of the best bartenders I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I witnessed her run after two unleashed dogs from going out of the hotel. The dog owner returned to the hotel heavily intoxicated and violent. Lauren even managed to prevent the woman from driving until the police arrived. I travel frequently and have never met someone to go beyond their job because it is simply the right thing to do. Lauren is a Hero. Thank you Lauren, you helped me regain hope in humanity. The hotel is nice and clean. Breakfast include. Big and clean rooms. Go meet Lauren at the bar and ask for details.” — Kashif J., 5 stars

“Nice hotel for a quick college visit - incredibly clean and spacious rooms. Nicely designed by West Elm and has a modern homey feel. Front desk staff (Ella) was incredibly welcome and friendly. An easy walk to downtown Main Street for food and drink. If you are a light sleeper, train does come by a couple times, but wasn’t really a bother to us. Overall would recommend.” — Jeff B., 5 stars

What guests are saying about Springhill Suites by Marriott Newark.
"We went thru another website/server to book and were misinformed of some information. However, when we arrived and learned of this misinformation, the front desk was so willing to work with us and so understanding. After a long day of driving and moving out of one place and getting ready to move into our new place the next day, my husband and I were just so impressed and grateful for the staff to work with us. Would absolutely recommend staying here—great staff, wonderful amenities, and good location in Newark!"

A special thank you to Kadijah at the front desk — her professionalism, kindness, and radiant smile made my entire check-in experience unforgettable. She truly represents the spirit of hospitality at its finest. The way she welcomed me with such genuine care made me feel right at home from the very first moment. The hotel itself is immaculate — every corner shines with cleanliness and attention to detail. The modern design, fresh scent, and peaceful atmosphere reflect pride in every aspect of the hotel’s upkeep. My room is perfect — spacious, elegant, and spotless, with every detail thoughtfully arranged for comfort. What stood out most was not just the beautiful surroundings, but the heartfelt hospitality I received. It wasn’t just great service — it was kindness that came from the heart. Although I’ve only just checked in, I can already say this is one of the finest hotel experiences I’ve ever had — and I’ve stayed in many hotels across the country. SpringHill Suites Newark Downtown stands above the rest for its cleanliness, comfort, and genuine care.
