Inviting stay with gym and indoor pool, less than 2 miles from the New Jersey Convention Center and a half-hour drive from Rutgers.

A hop off the interstate. Genius, we'd say.

Shopper alert: easy driving distance to four (4!) malls. Map ‘em with the free WiFi.

In-room kitchens are cool.

Surrounded by shops, restaurants and a movie theater, in case you (somehow) need a break from the indoor pool and gym.

Rooms are contemporary, spacious and soothing.

Manicured, landscape surroundings – 27 acres of them. And right on a lake.

The nearby historic State Theater stage has been graced by the likes of Aretha, Yo-Yo Ma and The Boss. (Check the calendar online.)

Why does breakfast taste so much better when someone else makes it for you? We don’t know, but the theory is proven here.

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.

Settle in, then head out to the lovely Colonial Park along the Delaware, or hit a Somerset Patriots game at TD Bank Park.

Relaxation is all yours. Hang out at the heated indoor pool, or challenge friends in the game room.

Convenient spot right off Garden State Parkway, just 8 miles from the airport and close to trains linking you to NYC.
