In need of a makeover
The hotel is in need of a makeover. We found a couple of dead bugs on the floor. The TV remote was very difficult to use and navigate. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, and the breakfast station was sparse.

I recently stayed at the best western plus Newark and had an overall pleasant experience. The staff truly went above and beyond, providing exceptional service that made the stay feel special, I forgot my toothbrush and they provided and breakfast was really good. The cleanliness of the facilities was good. The only issue I encountered was the need for improved air quality or refreshed rugs in the room, as there was a slight mustiness that detracted from the otherwise pristine environment. However, this was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall comfort and care provided. I would gladly stay here again and recommend it with the hope that small updates are made to the rooms.
