What is the best way to get from a hotel in Newark to Manhattan?
My family is taking a trip to New York City this summer, and we’ve booked a hotel in Newark near the airport. What is the best way to get from the hotel to Manhattan?
If you’re hotel has a complementary shuttle service, you can take the shuttle bus to the Newark Airtrain station P4 and take the Airtrain, which is a monorail, from there to Newark-Liberty Airport train station.
Once at the train station, you can take any New York City-bound (eastbound) NJ Train to New York Penn Station. The one way fare from Newark Airport to the New York Penn Station will cost you $15 per person, per trip ($30 per person). The trip from the airport to the city take about 20 to 25 minutes.
I hope this information was very helpful. If you have any questions or need travel directions while in town, just drop me a line by clicking on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile. I’ll be glad to help.
Good luck
Rail. Take NJ Transit from the Newark Airport station to Penn Station New York (not Penn Station Newark).

Does your hotel have a shuttle or complimentary bus? You should ask.

If the hotel does have one, they can drop you at Newark Penn Station (or back to Newark Liberty) where you can take any NY train over to Manhattan.

Using the trains from Newark is about US$15 for an adult. To cut the cost (and travel slower to Manhattan) buses are available for US $7.00 for an adult. After exploring Manhattan, the hotel can either pick you up from Newark Airport or Newark Penn Station (be sure to ask where in advance they pick up) if they have shuttle service for you.
If no shuttle service, bus or limo, you’ll have to make it back on your own with a private shuttle, cab or NJ transit train & bus.
Summer is storm season so expect flight delays and have a few days backup money for your families hotel stay should flights be grounded and delayed for days due to the weather.
