ABOUT THE TEAM

Shaner Hotels has an amazing opportunity at our Courtyard Newark - UD. Located on a beautiful suburban campus, the Courtyard Newark-University of Delaware offers impeccable service coupled with state-of-the-art technology. Our beautifully appointed guestrooms offer all the comforts of home and feature well-lit workstations and complimentary Wi-Fi. We take pride in being one of Delaware's first "Green Lodging" establishments. The hotel is near many local businesses-including WL Gore, Bank of America, and Siemens-and we are adjacent to Clayton Hall Conference Center, a university-run facility that boasts over 40,000 square feet of meeting space. If it's fun you're looking for, you can test your luck at Delaware Park, experience some of Delaware's "tax-free" shopping at Christiana Mall or take in some culture in the neighboring Brandywine Valley.
