TRYP by Wyndham Newark Downtown

We stayed at this hotel primarily due to its proximity to Penn Station Newark, which was within walking distance and made it very convenient for travel. In that sense, the location was the biggest advantage and the main reason for choosing this property. The hotel itself felt like a bit of a diamond in the rough. It was well kept and clean throughout, which was appreciated. The staff and general upkeep gave the impression that they do a good job maintaining the property. However, the rooms were clearly older and carried that dated feel, even though they were still clean and functional. The surrounding area is where the experience loses some points. In the evening, the area felt sketchy and not particularly comfortable for walking around. There also aren’t many dining options or convenient stores nearby, which limits flexibility if you need something outside of the hotel. There is a restaurant directly next door that we relied on for coffee and snacks during the day, which was very convenient. However, once it closed in the evening, dining options became limited, and we were essentially left with the more expensive restaurant inside the hotel.

Large, clean rooms with super comfy bed. Great property.

They were having difficulty finding my reservation.

I have stayes there before and it is convenient for what I had planned that weekend.
