What guests think

At Horizon Inn, reviews highlight very clean, spacious rooms and notably friendly, accommodating staff, with many guests appreciating the updated, no‑frills setup and overall value for money in a quiet, safe environment near food options and transport.

In-room Jacuzzi tubs are a frequent draw, though a few guests reported maintenance issues, and the property has no elevator. Some stays noted isolated problems such as odors, stained linens, uncomfortable pillows or mattresses, and occasional road noise. There is no on-site breakfast, but guests often rely on nearby restaurants and lobby delivery menus. Best for short, budget-minded stays rather than full-service trips.

Always the best price for a place that is very clean, very safe, with a great staff- a family-run business. No frills, no breakfast, but, great price every time! I always stay there when I go to that area to see my father in his 90s.

The staff at this location are amazing will help you with anything just ask. The room was the cleanest room I have ever been in. The spa tub after a long day in the city was amazing to relax. Train station is twelve minute walk from the hotel. I recommend this hotel to everyone.

My king room was very large compared to most. The host who I think was the owner, actually helped me carry some luggage up to second floor as there is no elevator. Very hospitable. Room was very clean with a darker motif so it could have used more and better lighting. No breakfast here. Just a place to sleep. Room well appointed. Bathroom had good counter area and was well lit. At $125 I thought a little pricey. Would probably consider another location if just a few dollars more.

The staff were friendly and the location was convenient, which I appreciated. However, the beds were not very comfortable, and the floors felt sticky during my stay. The bathroom door didn’t lock, which was a bit problematic since I was sharing the space with other guests. With a few improvements in maintenance and comfort, this place could be much better.

The property itself has been updated, my room was clean and spacious. The road noise was a little loud as I’m a light sleeper, just turned the fan on to block some of the noise. The only real complaint I had with the property is their pillows suck! The staff was a very accommodating as there is no elevator, and the night manager helped bring my luggage up to my room and even placed it on the luggage rack for me. I would definitely stay at this hotel again, but would bring my own pillow!

I bought a room specifically for the hot tub for my girlfriend and I, but they didn’t tell me it was out of order. In fact, next morning we found out they ripped off and hid the “Out of Order” sign in the room before we came! The front desk receptionist attempted to clean the filth out the tub 5 times, wasting about an hour of our time there, just for us to discover it was a plumbing issue. He kept offering us a later checkout time but at a certain point we didn’t want to stay longer. The aesthetic looked alright but the overall quality of the room was very cheap. They had towels so rough they felt made of plastic, almost like they could scratch you if your skin was wet. The mattress was stiff and the hallways of the facility reeked of cigarette smoke. I will never come back here.

Floor could’ve been cleaned better. Some of the lights didn’t work. It was noticed by staff but they don’t really speak very good English to understand that the fixtures needed new light bulbs. Also, paid extra for late checkout because I drove for 10 hours and wanted to sleep more, but two staff members knocked on my door at 11am, telling me to check out. Very annoying, especially when they didn’t acknowledge that anything was wrong.

We were part of the airline debacle on Sept 9th that forced almost every flight in Newark to be cancelled. There were no hotels around the airport that had a room left. We were on our own for costs (which made us even saltier) but found Horizon inn 20 minutes outside of Newark. Not happy as we had to cancel our entire trip and take an uber 20 minutes out. We were greeted by the manager who could not have been more accomodating. The place is whistle clean and comfortable. He helped us with food recommendations and other needs that we had. I cannot recommend this place more. Thanks to The Horizon Inn for turning our frowns upside down. No small feat under the circumstances.

I had to make a last minute booking when the Crowdstrike outage caused cancelations on many flights. It was about 20 minutes from EWR, and check in after 1am was easy. The hotel is older, but was clean. The room was spacious and quiet. Checkout was easy. It was a stressful trip, but this was one of the few stress-free parts.

We were stuck after our flight was canceled and needed a last minute room. The staff were great, provided us a clean room, comfortable beds, carry out menus and help with a car to the airport. The next flight was also cancelled, and they let us go back to our room to figure things out with the airline. The water pressure in the hot shower was amazing after our 20 hours of travel. It was not a fancy place but I highly recommend it. I did not expect such warm and helpful service like this and we really appreciated it. The man at the front desk was doing all he could to make our stay a good one.
