You probably have already landed but if your hotel is walking from Penn Station - nothing can get you there faster than a train at that hour. The train arriving at the EWR train station 5:21 drops you off at Penn Station at 5:49pm. If you want comparison the identical drive at this hour (not quite peak rush hour) is 44 minutes.
NOTE - in the above time it doesn't include the AirTrain from terminal to the EWR train station which adds 10 minutes depending on your terminal
