The Spotlight on DoubleTree by Hilton Newark Penn Station NJ

Comfort & Convenience Right by the Station

Modern and well-connected, the DoubleTree by Hilton Newark Penn Station NJ blends convenience with comfort. Located just 5 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport and only 11 miles from Manhattan, this hotel offers travelers easy access to both local and city-wide concert venues. With direct indoor access to Newark Penn Station, guests can step out of their rooms and right onto a train to the action.
The vibe here is sleek and functional, with all the essentials like free WiFi, a fitness center, and a welcoming on-site restaurant and bar.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the direct connection to Newark Penn Station—a major win for those attending shows in Newark, Hoboken, or even NYC. Late-night train rides back are no stress, and the free airport shuttle makes flying in for a big event a breeze. While the hotel is near the action, it’s tucked just enough off the main drag to offer a quieter place to crash post-concert. Flexible check-in from 4 PM is great for those arriving early, and the location helps you avoid the chaos of Manhattan without missing a beat.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to explore the Newark music scene or catch a show in the city.
Solo travelers flying in for a dream concert and needing easy airport and venue access.
Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend in the area.
Fans who want a quieter spot to recover after the encore.
Budget-conscious music lovers who want affordable access to NYC without NYC prices.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Market Street Bar & Grill serves up American classics and drinks, ideal for a pre-show bite or post-show wind down. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant stays open late enough for most concert-goers. Plus, with Penn Station so close, you’re steps away from plenty of quick eats and coffee spots. Breakfast is available, so you can fuel up before heading out the next day.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s near downtown Newark’s bars and lounges, and trains to NYC nightlife are right at your doorstep. The hotel bar offers a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a drink without straying far.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s location and transportation access, particularly if they’re attending events in Newark or Manhattan. The free airport shuttle is a favorite perk, and many mention the clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Travelers love being able to get around without needing a car.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that while the hotel is clean and efficient, the decor feels a bit dated. Others note that dining options are somewhat limited late at night—though that’s easily solved with nearby takeout or a quick ride into the city.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Newark or NYC, the DoubleTree by Hilton Newark Penn Station NJ offers unbeatable transit access, cozy rooms, and just enough buzz to keep the party going—or wind it down.

Exceptional - 5.0 out of 5

Jim F, Camillus, NY

When we arrived the lights were out due to a power failure in Newark, but everyone was very accommodating and friendly throughout our brief stay. Prudential Center just a few blocks away, making it very convenient for my son and I, both Devils fans.

Liked: Everyone very friendly.
Disliked: Can't think of anything.

Not worth the $$

Liked: The staff I interacted with were friendly, the AC in the room was nice and cold, and the bed was very comfortable.
Disliked: The elevators barely worked. One of them would not stop at my floor, so I had to wait in the lobby until another elevator became available, and the doors on that one opened and closed a few times before finally closing. The room was mostly clean, although the lid of the toilet seat was disgusting.The "off-site parking for $47.50" on the listing is inaccurate. I parked in the parking garage directly next to the property, as I was told to do by the front desk, and parking for only 18 hours cost me $60.Obviously the location is convenient if you need the train station, as it's directly across the street, but that means it's a high traffic area and will take an Uber a while to get to you. Also it was very loud outside at night.

I’ll be back.

Liked: I like the location. So convenient to the train.
Disliked: Big concert in town that night and was quite noisy as people returned very late. Usually the hotel is pin drop quiet. Not really a hotel problem, just an annoyance.
