We recently stayed at the Fairfield Inn Newark Airport before flying out on an early morning flight. The Inn provides free parking for up to 14 days for guests who stay one night at either the beginning or end of their trip. We have taken advantage of this offer several times, and are never disappointed.
Check in: On this particular Saturday afternoon, the front desk staff person was occupied by what was turning out to be a lengthy conversation with a customer. Noticing us waiting, a staff person who was going home took off his coat and came to check us in. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty, but an act we sincerely appreciated. He was pleasant and efficient, and had us checked in and on our way to our room quickly.
Parking: There is a large fenced, controlled access parking lot at the hotel. Access to the lot is restricted by gates that are activated by a currently valid room key. We stayed at the beginning of our vacation, so when we returned we did not have a room key. No problem! The front desk staff waited for us to get our car, and then “buzzed” us through. Free parking up to 14 days, $15/day after that. A GREAT deal in the Newark area.
Rooms: the rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows are comfortable, with nice bed linens. There is a desk to plug in the computer, and WiFi is provided at no extra charge. The bathroom is large, very clean, and complete with plenty of towels, and nice quality shampoo, conditioner, lotion and soaps. The room includes breakfast in the morning. Unfortunately we left so early we were unable to take advantage of this, though hubby was able to enjoy serviceable coffee even at 4 AM. There is an indoor pool, and an exercise room.
Shuttle service: Runs every half hour. This morning it was very punctual. The driver was pleasant and helpful, even at such an early hour. On our return the driver was equally pleasant and helpful.
We would definitely recommend the Fairfield Inn at Newark Airport to anyone who needs to stay either before or after a flight.
