The Spotlight on Motel 6 New Brunswick

Budget-Friendly Base for Your Next New Jersey Show

Motel 6 New Brunswick is a no-frills, budget-conscious hotel located just off U.S. Route 1. With simple, functional rooms and quick access to downtown New Brunswick and nearby music venues, this 2-star stay is perfect for concert-goers who want convenience without the price tag. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, private bathrooms, cable TV, and even kitchenettes—ideal for a quick bite before heading out. Plus, you’ll get free WiFi and a 24-hour front desk to keep your plans flexible.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just a short drive from major music venues like the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and a manageable distance from events at the Prudential Center. The hotel’s 24-hour front desk makes it easy to check in late after a show, and its location off Route 1 means easy rideshare pickup. While it’s not in the heart of the nightlife, the quieter location is a plus for those wanting to unwind.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-cost place to crash
  • Solo travelers attending a must-see show
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend of it
  • Fans who prefer a quieter post-concert spot
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save on lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, the in-room kitchenettes make it easy to prep snacks or late-night meals after your show. Plenty of casual dining spots and fast food options are within a short drive. Just note: there's no breakfast service, so plan ahead if you're sleeping in.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of its charm for travelers who want to rest up after a loud night. That said, you're only minutes from downtown New Brunswick, where local bars and lounges offer everything from craft beer to live DJ sets.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordable rates, clean rooms, and convenient location near the highway. Many mention that it’s a reliable choice for a short stay while attending events. The 24-hour reception is often praised for being helpful and efficient.

Areas for Improvement

It's a basic motel, so don’t expect luxury. Some guests noted that the rooms could use minor updates, and others recommend bringing your own toiletries. If you're sensitive to noise, ask for a room away from the road.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a budget-friendly, no-fuss place to crash after a concert, Motel 6 New Brunswick ticks the right boxes.

Pay more money and go...

Liked: Checking out
Disliked: The beds were incredibly lumpy. The lady at the desk was excessively rude. I was in an accident on my way there from Michigan… she gave me a hard time about getting extra blankets to try and make it more comfortable. The front door didn’t shut. I didn’t at all feel safe between the door and the horrible area. The whole place was dirty. The toilet cover and tile in shower is cracked. The shower rod is falling off the wall. The molding on the floor to the tub is falling off. The lobby smells

Concerns

Liked: The location is easy to fine and the customers service was not too bad.
Disliked: The outside look is filthy and looks trashy; I suggest outside renovation and thorough cleaning of the floor. Please make the outlook a bit attractive for clients.

Another great stay for the...

Liked: As always Sharuti was great at the front desk and kind. Really a great employee and the cleaning staff as well. Recommend for a quick stay of your in town for a few days.
Disliked: It’s not too close to retail for food but it’s okay for a quick place to stay. Maybe some refrigerators especially for those who need for medications etc.

Excellent stay

Liked: I booked this for a friend and her pet a few times already. The location although it could be considered remote for the area isn’t bad and easy to get to transportation if you have no car or just need to commute to NYC or even the local surrounding towns. The room is as expected and great value. Although I would like to have more things like a kitchenette (they don’t have them) but overall satisfaction. The lady who works there Sharutti is really very nice and she remembers us when we stay there. It’s hard to find good staff but she really is good at managing the front desk and meeting special requests if needed.
Disliked: Retail locations and restaurants are a bit further down route 18.

Good place to stay if...

Liked: We booked the room via BringFido as we were travelling with a dog and wanted easy in and out and a property that did not charge an extra pet fee. The hotel was clean though a little bare bones, with grassy areas to walk the dog. It was also within walking distance of an Asian restaurant for takeout dinner. It was in a suburban college town where Rutgers is located which seemed like a safe place to overnight.
Disliked: It is not easy to access the entrance to the property off the New Jersey Turnpike as it requires a quick right off the parkway, or you have to do an extended reroute to try to access the entrance again. A more prominent entrance with larger signage might have helped.

Bad

Liked: Location
Disliked: As always, the front desk employee (older male) likes to act as if he is doing us the favor to accept us as guests. He has no education and no customer service skills. I am still wondering why he keeps on working there when he clearly just hates everyone and gets upset if you even breathe. You have to go to the office every single day to get the card key activated, and definitely, the pictures of the room are not accurate at all. Booking should always ask for real pictures and pay attention to the room's description. Description says "kitchenette " and there are no rooms with Kitchenette in this location
