New York Newark Airport: Marriot Hotel (Video and review)

…ou need somewhere to stay before an early morning flight out of New York’s Newark Airport in New Jersey. It is literally slap bang in the middle of the airport. I noticed when taking off from Newark that the terminals are in a semi-circle and that the Marriot is in the centre of that.The hotel shuttle bus runs 24 hours and it took me about 7 minutes to get the Terminal where my Virgin Atlantic flight was leaving from. It was, though, quite hard to…

Ramada Hotel, Newark Airport, New Jersey USA; Room video

This is a video of Room 370 at the Ramada Hotel at Newark Airport, New Jersey, USA. As you will hear in the commentary I am a bit tired and fed up! This is not really to do with the hotel which I was pretty pleased with as usually Ramada’s I have stayed at have been not that great. The rooms were a good size, clean and comfortable. The reason for being unhappy was it was after a long and bad day due to Virgin Atlantic (who I usually praise) who t…

…off the site so we were no longer their problem. Busses & Bussing back to Newark: · Why did we sit on the busses for over 1 hour with no-one explaining what was going on? Why did all the busses, with I assume around 250 passengers in total, route via Canal Street in Manhattan to pick up the lead bus driver’s wife and shopping rather than the faster and more direct route transportation would normally take via the Verazano Bridge? A routing that me…

…and United painted on the side. I chose them as their times in and out of Newark airport are frequent and well timed, and they have a daytime flight back to London that leaves at 9am from Newark and gets to Heathrow at 9.20pm. They fly out of Terminal 4, which used to be the British Airways main terminal before the swanky new Terminal 5 was opened. The Terminal has been updated and is pretty pleasant. They use the new Sky Team Lounge which is vas…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…

…eme and every booking has that on…. And yet EVERY time I go, they ask me to complete address and other details. It drives me nuts. Yet, when checking into a Starwood Hotel they know how often you stay and welcome you back. Marriott Newark Airport goes even further. They have someone at the entrance for those staying often and grab you, welcome you and hand you your room key commenting on how many nights you have stayed in Marriott and no signing i…

…ze for an issue I had on the flight I did from London Heathrow to New York Newark. The new video on demand system, which I believe is causing some problems generally, was not working at my seat. This problem also affected the person next to me and the 2 seats behind me. This meant there was no entertainment for the 7.5 hour flight. The crew were friendly and gave me a form to fill in. Instead of handing it in I posted it when I got back. I got a l…
