We (my wife and I) recently stayed at Econo Lodge
Newark (Dec 2012)
It is easily the worst hotel we have ever had to stay. We booked it because it was cheaper than most other hotels and was
about 1.6 miles away from Newark Liberty International Airport which we thought would be handy given that we had to make couple of trips to the airport to welcome our family members.
We had also suggested this hotel to our brother-in-law so that we could stay close; Big mistake.
The rooms were dirty & smelly; The bath tub was literally 4 feet long; The heater was very loud; Breakfast came in a paper bag.
The service was terrible. When we called the hotel to send the shuttle to pick us up from the airport the guy at the desk said it will be there in 5 mins. We made two more calls, first after 10 minutes and second after 20 mins, the guy at the desk shouted at us saying “You are calling every minute! The shuttle is already there!!” The shuttle finally arrived after 45 minutes. We complained to the shuttle driver about the treatment we received and he explained that it was actually one of the owners of the business who manned the desk that night and he is not used to being polite.
I have attached a few photographs of the room. Take a look and make your own minds up.
