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.
