The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Woodbridge By IHG

Comfort and Convenience Just Outside the City

Modern and budget-friendly, the Holiday Inn Express Woodbridge in Avenel, NJ offers a laid-back stay just 25 miles from Manhattan and a short drive from Newark Airport. With classic, comfortable rooms, free Wi-Fi, and convenient access to public transport, it’s a solid pick for music fans looking to stay near the action without paying city prices.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the sweet spot for fans heading into NYC or checking out venues in northern New Jersey. Just 1 mile from the Avenel Train Station, you can be in Manhattan in under an hour—no parking stress needed. After a late-night show, you’ll appreciate the quiet suburban location, and the indoor pool and fitness center help you recharge the next day. Standard check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM gives you a bit of wiggle room, too.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for an affordable base with easy transport into the city
Solo travelers catching a dream tour stop
Couples making a weekend of it with space to relax
Fans who want a peaceful place to crash and recover post-show
Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, the hotel offers a free hot breakfast—perfect for the morning after a late night. There are plenty of nearby restaurants and fast food spots within walking or short driving distance. Vending machines and a coffee station in the lobby help fuel you anytime.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of the charm. You're close enough to enjoy the vibrant bar scene in nearby Woodbridge or hop the train into NYC for late-night fun, then return to a quiet, restful room. Ideal for fans who want the best of both worlds.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location near transit and highways. Many mention the great value for money and the reliable Wi-Fi—perfect for streaming setlists or uploading concert photos.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms could use a modern refresh, and while the area is quiet, there’s not much nightlife within immediate walking distance. But if you’re here for the show, you likely won’t mind the peace and quiet afterward.

The Bottom Line

The Holiday Inn Express Woodbridge is a smart pick for concert-goers who want affordable comfort, easy city access, and restful nights—all without breaking the bank.

M M, Red Bank NJ and Staten Island

Would highly recommend this location.

Liked: The front desk staff checking in and checking out were polite, efficient and friendly. The hotel was exceptionally clean in all areas ie. rooms, hallways, elevators, lobby and dining area. The wait staff in the dining area was very courteous. The juice machine was not functioning correctly and she took measures to fix it. She then let us all know that it was working again as were seated in the area.

HORRIBLE

Liked: The breakfast was the only thing good
Disliked: The room was filthy. Beds were uncomfortable and squeaky. There were screws lying on the floor from the bed. There were not enough towels for the 4 of us. No soap in dispensers. The pool keycard didn’t work to get in. The pool had so much chlorine, that it burnt my kids eyes so bad we had to do a water flush. My kids cried themselves to sleep over the pain. It was supposed to be a fun stay while we visited the American Dream Mall. WIFI wasn’t working. On top of all that, I got a call saying they were overbooked and didn’t have a room for us after I was paid in full over a month ago at 4:45pm and we checked in at 5:00. One more thing, the charging ports didn’t work.
