The Spotlight on Gallery Holiday Motel

Retro Romance Meets Concert Convenience in South Amboy

Modern? Not exactly. Memorable? Absolutely. Gallery Holiday Motel offers a one-of-a-kind stay just off Route 35 in South Amboy, NJ. Set on 3 acres, this motel blends quirky charm—think mirrored walls, fireplaces, and in-room spa tubs—with easy access to local concert venues and shopping areas like Woodbridge Center Mall. It’s not your typical chain hotel, and that’s part of the fun.

Why Concert-goers love it

Gallery Holiday Motel is just a short drive from several live music venues and nightlife spots in central New Jersey. If you're catching a show nearby, you'll love the 24-hour front desk, which makes late-night check-ins a breeze. The location offers a peaceful retreat for those looking to wind down post-show—no loud city noise here. With on-site vending machines and plenty of parking, it's a low-fuss option for music fans on the move.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, unconventional place to crash
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list tour stop
  • Couples wanting a romantic, post-concert escape with a spa tub
  • Fans needing quiet after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer quirky over pricey

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the motel offers vending machines for late-night snacks, and you're only a short drive from 24-hour diners and fast-food joints. Many nearby spots offer breakfast options for that post-gig recovery meal. Room service isn't available, but the fireplace and spa tub more than make up for it.

Nightlife Options

You're within easy driving distance of bars and lounges in Perth Amboy and Woodbridge. While the motel itself is more chill than social, it serves as a cozy base before or after a night out. No on-site bar, but plenty of BYOB-friendly vibes.

What People Say

Guests mention the in-room spa tubs and fireplaces as standout features, especially for couples. Reviewers appreciate the motel's retro character and privacy, as well as its affordable prices. It's a popular pick for those who want something different from cookie-cutter hotels.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury resort, and some guests note that the decor is dated and the amenities are basic. There is no restaurant or bar on-site, and the motel caters more to drivers than transit users. But if you’re in it for the fun, the quirks become part of the charm.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, quirky stay with unique in-room features after a concert in the South Amboy area, Gallery Holiday Motel is a memorable place to land.

Friendly Staff. Very clean and...

Liked: 10/10 My husband and I were driving home from down South. Decided to rest before heading home. We wanted to relax in a Hot Jacuzzi to massage and spend the night. I booked while my husband was driving near the South Amboy area. It’s our first time visiting and I am very pleased with the guy at the reception. We were close to mostly everything to eat. After booking at approximately 10PM and checking in we dropped our bags in the room and decided to grab a bite to eat so we drove about 7mins to Popeyes. Our room was Super Clean. Our Hot Tub was so sanitized that you could smell the bleach when we started the jets for the massage. I am very pleased with our last minute quick choice. We will definitely pay a visit in the future.
