No choices. UA contracts with many places and takes what it can get at the time it determines a need. If there is a choice, the better selection will be held for F and GS, but even that isn't a guarantee.

I would prefer the Residence Inn at Jersey Gardens. Get in some shopping before the flight. They are not giving out the Marriott...or the Renaissance.

We've been given the Ramada once when we were stuck at EWR. Terrible place, regretted every second there. For the future I will just get a room myself and see how much UA is willing to reimburse me...

I stayed at the Ramada for a night after Sandy when I was worried during the gas rationing about getting a cab the next day to take me to EWR. I survived.

Does anyone have experience paying for your own room and then submitting to insurance -- for example based upon the Chase travel insurance when booked with their CC? If the airline offers you a room due to a mechanical and you get your own room will the insurance still pay for the room or will they say that United offered and you turned it down therefore we will not pay?
