Hotels near Rockaway, NJ

“We just wrapped up a stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Rockaway (Friday through today), and it was a wonderful experience.

The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout our entire visit. A special shout-out to the day and evening concierges—they were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the check-in/check-out process seamless and always available to answer our questions. Our room was quiet and provided a great space to relax, and the convenient location made getting around the area very easy.

Overall, a stress-free and enjoyable stay. We would definitely choose to stay here again!”

“Decent hotel in my opinion, pretty decent price with a nice included breakfast! (Tip: come before 5pm to get a chance to choose a room with a balcony or not.) Also note, no elevator.”

“Cleanest atmosphere friendly staff, amazing breakfast. Everything was perfect! So accommodating to me with my son being in the hospital and me, not knowing when he was going to be a discharged they always made sure to have a room for me in case. A really amazing breakfast strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, real eggs, and bacon! I felt super safe in the area that we were in being it was Myself in six month old son staying in the hotel. You can tell the staff is treated well by how pleasant and happy they all are.”

“We’ve been photographing weddings at The Madison Hotel for more than 10 years, and it remains one of our favorite New Jersey venues to work in. The Conservatory, the ballroom, and the grounds all offer beautiful light and a ton of great spots for portraits. The staff is always welcoming and organized, and couples consistently tell us how smooth their day feels there. Every time we’re back, it feels familiar in the best way. If you’re planning a wedding at The Madison Hotel, we already know the layout, the timing, and the best places for photos, and we absolutely love working at this venue.”

“10/10 experience. Beautiful hotel, amazing atmosphere, wonderful staff, and great food and drinks. We enjoyed our stay so much that this will definitely become our new monthly getaway spot.

A special shout out to Alex and Lynnell, who truly made our experience exceptional. They took care of us during lunch and again later for our nightcap drinks until midnight, and their service was absolutely top tier. They were attentive, welcoming, personable, and made sure we had an amazing time from start to finish.

It’s rare to come across hospitality that genuinely stands out, but both of them went above and beyond and made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. They are a huge reason we’re already looking forward to coming back.

Overall, we’re so happy we found this place. Thank you for such a memorable stay!”

“Just completing my fifth year at the AVE in Florham Park and love it! I work full-time and when I come home each evening, it feels like I'm on vacation. Amenities are amazing and the AVE community is so welcoming. Make a point to stop by for a tour and see for yourselves!

“We had such a nice little trip! The bridal suite was wonderful-
-the jacuzzi and fireplace made it so cozy. It was also great to have a mini fridge and microwave in the room. Breakfast was very nice and staff was very kind!”

“Years of working at Hyatt Regency Morristown have shown us how well-structured and responsive this venue is. The polished spaces and attentive team help make setups and service run effortlessly, every time. @bukharagrillcaterers”

“Thanks a lot Keisha Green for making our experience very memorable! Our hosted who attended our event felt comfortable in the environment. Thank you for accommodating us and your customer service was outstanding Keisha! She deserves a raise! Thanks to Magaly for working with us in booking the venue!”

“I always enjoy staying at this hotel! But I have to give a shout out to the new parking QR codes. It is so much easier than having to run a ticket back out to my car after I’ve already checked in. Being able to use technology to account for the parking is awesome! Also everyone at the front desk is always so friendly. Shout out to Khadijah for being so nice!”

“This place was fantastic! It is getting a little dated and could use some renovations but room was comfortable and clean and the staff was wonderful. I mean wonderful! I come fairly regularly, and every single time I'm taking care of like family. They really go out of their way to make you comfortable , and your stay just as perfect as it can be. I had recently been exposed long-term to black mold and was very, very sick, and I had to come up to New Jersey and without them even knowing about this problem, they put me on the floor that they just had all the rooms redone, that have air purifying units in them. I can't tell you how much better I felt within a couple days. They put me there just to treat me extra special but it turned out to really be something special because of how sick I was. You just can't find the kind of customer service that I get here on a regular basis. It just doesn't seem to happen as much as it used to, as far as service goes. I come regularly because of my grandson, who has been coming here since he was born and is now 2 years old. They treat him like royalty - honestly. And I think he feels like this is his Grammy's home! Jose, the manager Is a true captain of the ship - setting a great example for his staff on how they should handle guests. Rayshawn is a fantastic assistant - always takes great care of us also. Anthony, the breakfast person is one of my grandson's favorites! ( Probably because he's feeding us!) Hermione, on the front desk is just so welcoming and kind - always helping me with anything I need. Housekeeping is exactly the same way with the service and always going out of their way to talk and play with the little guy! I know this is a long review and I don't usually write a lot of reviews. But I do for this place because they always go above and beyond. Being so far from home and everything so different in this cold country and I come from Florida - it's nice to be somewhere familiar with familiar people. But quite honestly , even the familiarity isn't enough For me to rave , it really is the people!”

“We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. A special thank you to Hermione at the reception, who was incredibly kind and always available to assist us with anything we needed. Eric was also extremely helpful, especially in arranging and driving the hotel shuttle to our nearby office always punctual and supportive.
The rooms were clean and well maintained, and the breakfast was enjoyable, with particularly good coffee.
Overall, a very pleasant experience and we would gladly stay here again.”

“Chris, the manager of the hotel, is topnotch. We had an issue and went to him for help. He was generous, helpful, and kind, and handled everything with grace and humor. The hotel is lovely and clean, and the staff is great. There is no better choice of hotel!”

“Stayed here from 9th Jan to 11th Jan, the hotel was good I’d give it 4 stars to be honest I just expected it to be more luxurious because it’s Hyatt and to the lady and gentleman who were working on the reception at around 9pm on the 9th of Jan I’d give you guys 10 stars not 5, you were more than kind and welcoming and you made my night after a tiring trip to New Jersey, really sorry I didn’t get to know your names but you probably know me from the jacket we made jokes about ?❤️”

“I have travelled to exactly 50 countries and hundreds of cities around the world and I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel! I have stayed in more than a few. The price, amenities, and staff were all excellent!

What an excellent stay at this hotel! The wonderful and welcoming front desk staff, the friendly house keepers, the attentive breakfast attendants, and the highly skilled and fast to fix maintenance workers. Everyone made for a very enjoyable and stress free experience!

The bed was super comfy, room were very clean with a nice design/layout and a fully stocked kitchenette. They have even more appliances like a slow cooker and blender if you ask the front desk! Plus a BBQ area and a pool too!

The included breakfast was also great too! A buffet with hot and cold options. I have stayed in countless hotels and this one was definitely well above the majority. Other reviewers seem to be so picky! It was great. Stuff yourself, feel good, chat with the friendly staff and start your day. It's what breakfast is all about!
Location is great too. Right beside a big mall with every store and restaurant you could need during your stay. It's also an easy drive straight along a highway from Newark airport.

Highly recommend a stay here for short or long term!”

“Likes: Room had a full-sized refrigerator with a freezer section. Excellent location, close to supermarkets and restaurants, 5 minutes from downtown Morristown. Close to I-287 and I-80, ~35 minutes to EWR. Decent price. Good Wi-Fi (not always a given).

Dislikes: Building and room showed some age. Not all lights in the parking lot were working. Front desk was vacant more than once.”

“I stayed one night here as a female traveler staying solo. Everything was excellent! I specifically liked that when I checked in they did not say my room number out loud and instead just wrote it down. Great stay”

“From the moment you enter the hotel, you're greeted by exceptionally friendly staff that make you feel welcomed. From the front check-in, to the Starbucks barista, to the restaurant bartender, everyone makes you feel at home. The hotel itself is well maintained and very clean. Top notch comfortable beds and pillows will help deliver a great night's sleep. As someone who travels often nationwide and also stays at Hilton hotels, I'd rate this hotel at the top.”

“Overall this is a very nice hotel at a great price. Front desk very pleasant and helpful. No issue with renovations or noise at all. They are still doing some work but it appears to be mostly completed. Room was good size and had fridge and microwave. Breakfast appears basic, I only had yogurt and juice machine was not working, but other guests were eating breakfast so I truly cannot comment on how it was. Overall I would recommend this hotel.”

“This Hyatt house thing is the best is comfy and is very affordable. Also the free breakfast is soooo good like their eggs and bacon and pancakes are so good I tried everything and in my opinion is so delicious. So if you want to stay somewhere that is comfy and very affordable go with Hyatt house they give you everything you need and the cleaning is amazing.”

“Easily a 3-Star Experience: Spotless Room, Great Breakfast, Prime Location, and Fantastic Hospitality

​On paper, this property might be categorized as a modest 2-star motel/hotel, but the actual experience easily competes with properties running 3 stars and up. Getting this level of comfort, amenities, and location around the $50 price point is an absolute steal, and they completely knocked it out of the park.
​The Service & Staff
Outstanding hospitality from top to bottom. The front desk team is attentive, polite, and makes checking in and out completely seamless. A massive shoutout goes directly to the housekeeping team. The room wasn’t just surface-cleaned—it was thoroughly immaculate. The modern wood-style floors were spotless, the linens were fresh, the vanity and mirror were streak-free, and everything was restocked. The maids work exceptionally hard, and it shows in every detail.
​Prime Location & Convenience
The location right on Route 46 is as convenient as it gets. You are close to everything you need—liquor stores, quick food options like McDonald's, and major route access that makes hopping into NYC a quick, easy trip. A huge bonus is having a fantastic steakhouse right on-site with incredible food, so you don't even have to drive anywhere for a top-tier dinner.
​Morning Breakfast
The included breakfast is a major plus and far better than standard motel fare. The dining area is kept spotless and restocked every morning. They offer a hot-and-fresh setup, including turkey sausage, perfectly done hard-boiled eggs, a self-serve waffle station, and cold, fresh orange juice. It’s convenient, ready early, and completely hassle-free.
​The Room, Upgrades & Appliances
The layout provides plenty of space to unpack and settle in. Unlike other big chain hotels where furniture is worn out and falling apart, everything here is solid, clean, and well-maintained. You get an actual refrigerator with a separate freezer compartment—not just a cheap cooler box—along with a clean microwave and an in-room coffee maker. The king-size bed is massive and comfortable, paired with a dedicated desk and bright lighting. The bathroom highlight is the oversized, jetted soaking tub with chevron tile—an unexpected luxury that makes winding down after a long day fantastic.
​Balcony & Backyard Wildlife
Stepping out onto the private balcony gives you a quiet, wide-open view of the back lawn bordering the woods. It is remarkably peaceful, and you get some great natural entertainment watching the wildlife. There’s a regular groundhog running around the grass, along with Canada geese wandering through the yard.
​If you treat the staff with respect and take care of the space, you will have a 100% stress-free, quiet, and comfortable stay. I uploaded photos of the fresh layout and spotless room to show exactly what you get. An unbeatable value—definitely booking here again.”

“Came to town for a convention. Accidentally booked my room for the wrong days. Staff was very helpful in correcting the mistake. Check in: smooth. Room: spotless. Parking: plentiful. Checkout: quick and easy.
The gym is very minimal, but in a practical sense. Free weights, treadmills, ellipticals. Everything you need to get a good workout in. Cant rate the breakfast because I slept in and missed it ?‍♂️
Great hotel all around, great staff.”

“This is by far my favorite extended stay in NJ. I have stayed at several and the staff here is so friendly and accommodating. Mark and Amethyst do a wonderful job being hospitable and helpful through all aspects of the stay. My room was clean and the ladies come every morning to ask if I want service. I extended my stay for almost 2 months. Never an issue, the halls are quiet and pets being allowed and accommodated is a huge plus as well. Will be back whenever I am in NJ!”

“Enormous hotel beautiful inside just a bit dated but super clean comfortable bed free breakfast, there’s a restaurant and bar
But not really off the highway going South, but a nice place for just a night’s rest”

“Americas Best Value Inn is the place you want to stay.Crave diversity in your environment? From the very casual owners to the eccentric and very colorful community actors/actresses, you get a full-orbed cross section of humanity second to none!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WWOOOOWWWWWWW”

“This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in in my entire life and I travel constantly. For the trash outside the front door to your room on the ground, to the mold growing on the ceiling in the bathroom, to the terrifying heart shaped tub, to the woman screaming in the parking lot.. Do not stay here it’s horrible. I suppose of this place were $30 a night it could provide refuge for someone on a pinch, but not at the non refundable prices it traps you with with no escape. Run run run to any hotel in the vicinity and do not book a room here”

“The motel offers clean rooms, good service, and a welcoming atmosphere.Staff members were professional and cooperative throughout the stay. It is a convenient and budget friendly option for travelers.i had pleasant stay at this motel. Clean rooms and comfortable place.”
