What hotels are used by UA at EWR during irrops?
Looks like I'm going to have to spend the night there: 5 hour MX, which brings me in 5 minutes before a connection. That is, of course, if they manage to turnaround a 757 in 35 minutes...
What hotel does UA send pax to in EWR? Or does it change? Trying to plan ahead.

It does vary based on quota availability. UA has a quota with various hotels, and even the hotel might have space, once the UA block is full, they go to the next one.
Pray for the Marriott or Renaissance hotels, which are your best bets if you can cajole a voucher from SHARES, or if you're prepared to pay your own way.

As posted per the class of service or destination.
Elite status does however determine weather a hotel is provided or not under certain circumstances.
for example, 1K customers recieve hotels for weather / ATC cancellations when available.

Bringing this back up to add my rant: As a 1K helping out United on an oversold flight I got the Ramada Plaza EWR - what a dump of a hotel. We obviously did not get our bags back, so had no toothbrush or combs at hand - pay $5 each as the hotel does not provide those for free - a first for me. And the hotel-shuttle is awfully infrequent - many other hotels' shuttle passed by several times while waiting for the Ramada-bus...
Really think twice to volunteer at EWR in the future if it means an overnight - being left without basic support just does not sit too well with me. Can't wait to leave tomorrow as early as possible!

CO put our whole EWR-TXL 752 up in the Wyndham Garden before. That was not fun getting to as you had to take the air train to the parking lot and then the hotel shuttle fits around 20 people and took about 20-25 min between each one.

They will reimburse you a reasonable amount (up to about $100 in New York) if you decide to use your own hotel and claim it back from them.
I had an sCO agent offer me, before they merged everything into SHARES, a Marriott. I went my own way and stayed in NY, my rebook was out of JFK on PS.
