A popular pick with business travelers due its close distance to Newark Airport and low-price rooms, Howard Johnson Hotel along US 1 is a no-frills way to stay close to your departure. Offering an on-site café and airport shuttle, it’s hard to complain with such a good deal. Each room comes with a coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge – the location itself being surrounded surrounded by mostly other hotels, making restaurants and fun attractions outside walking distance. Get through the area with a private rental, or get a shuttle ride to the nearby AirTrain, located in front of the airport and offering an inside window to nearby cities like Newark, Elizabeth, and Manhattan.
Wake up early to find a bite to eat, choosing between Dallas BBQ off Interstate 78 or something within south Newark’s eclectic Ironbound District. Located less than two miles away, the neighborhood is the closest hangout from the hotel, offering hidden Jersey gems like Caffe Espresso Italia and the sprawling lawns of Independence Park. Cross the nearby Newark Bay Bridge to get in touch with Jersey City, whether it’s through the immediate bayou trails of Richard Rutkowski Park or the sweeping Manhattan skyline views from Liberty State Park. Those looking to end the evening somewhere close and quiet should walk through North Ironbound for views of the Passaic River from Riverbank Park.
