The Hyatt Place-Newark is smack dab in the heart of a quaint yet vibrant college town eminently suitable for walking, and brimming with dining options. Its features include a $10 per day basement parking garage, free serve-yourself breakfasts (beyond the mere continental), and a bar area. The latter boasts a modern, cheerful interior atmosphere as well as an adjoining elevated front patio with a commanding streetside vibe. Open from 4:30 to 10:00 PM, the bar offers beer/wine/cocktails as well as an eclectic mix of tasty appetizers, soups/salads, and light fare menu items. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the room interiors clean and tastefully appointed. Should I find myself again in Newark De, I would stay there without hesitation.
