Why Concert-goers love it

Just 2.9 miles from major venues like the Prudential Center, this hotel is a smart pick for anyone catching a show in Newark. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night arrivals easy, and the location near the airport means you won’t stress about early flights. Despite its proximity to busy transport hubs, guests report quiet, restful rooms – ideal for post-concert wind-downs.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a base close to the action
• Solo travelers ticking off their dream artists
• Couples planning a fun weekend getaway
• Fans who want peace and quiet after a loud night out
• Budget-conscious travelers who want value close to the venue

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site Café is open daily from 7am–10pm, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner – perfect for grabbing a bite before or after the show. Ted’s Restaurant opens from 3pm, dishing out classic American fare. While there’s no 24/7 room service, having two on-site eateries makes late dining convenient. And for those mornings after, you can count on a full breakfast to refuel.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music on-site, you’re just a short ride from Newark’s top bars and nightlife spots. For a more low-key vibe, Ted’s offers a relaxed setting to sip a drink and recap the night. Being close to the train also means you’re never far from NYC’s legendary late-night scene.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s clean, updated rooms and its ease of access to both the airport and concert venues. Travelers frequently mention the friendly staff, and the ample parking makes it a great choice for those driving in. Many note that it’s a quiet option despite its central location.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the surrounding area is more functional than scenic – think airport-adjacent rather than charming neighborhood. While transit options are nearby, a car or ride-share might be needed for late-night returns. A few reviewers wished for longer café hours or round-the-clock dining.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a quiet, convenient, and affordable stay near Newark's top venues, the Holiday Inn Newark International Airport By IHG hits the right note.
