Crowne Plaza Newark Airport

What is your Priority Club status?
Spire

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
It was OK.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
I booked a standard room (whatever it is) and got that. Did not ask about upgrades.

How are the rooms?
A bit old. They have the basics covered. My main gripe is the aircon / heater unit which sits just below the window inside the room and is very noisy,

How is the exec. lounge?
I don't think they have one.

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
  • It's an airport hotel so I didn't expect (nor need) much and it was alright. At least it's clean and well equipped.
Bad:
  • The location is not great for an airport hotel and to wait half an hour for the shuttle is a bit much. We ended up taking a Uber on the way back.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
The price when we stayed was over 160 USD + taxes which I think is overpriced compared to other hotels in the area (which are cheaper, or better located). We booked on points, and at 20k points it was good value.
