Did you call hotwire? They might refund it if you talk to them. I got burned by Travelocity (I'll never ever use them again) on a hotel booking that I wanted to cancel. I submitted it to my credit card company (Citicard) for resolution, it took about 6 months but I got my money back.
If push came to shove, you could stay there and day trip into the city, but for the full effect you want to stay in Manhattan. By the way, there is no such thing as inexpensive nice hotel in Manhattan. I've the best luck booking directly with the hotel myself. I've gotten reasonable rates from the Hilton (Ave of the Americas).Has anyone stayed at Sheraton Newark Airport Hotel for a visit to New York?
Hmm..thats odd ...they should have flown you into Newark airport if you were going to put you at that hotel.
The commute from Newark is not that bad if you are taking public transportation....it's just that the city of Newark is not safe--a lot of crime/poverty/etc. So it's not really the kind of place you want to be coming back to late at night.
If you didn't spend a fortune on the hotel, I would maybe try to find something closer and in a better area.
