You are right, Newark is pretty far away. And I don't think it has much public transportation. <BR>
<BR>
The problem with the Holiday Inn Express I sent is it didn't mention anything about restaurants. And I don't know if there is anything around there for eating. So hopefully you wouldn't have to take a taxi to food as well as to BART.<BR><BR>SHANNON L.
