The Spotlight on Raritan Hotel

Budget-Friendly Stay Near NJ Concert Venues

Modern comfort meets classic charm at the Raritan Hotel, located just off I-95 in Keasbey, NJ. With free Wi-Fi, an on-site Indian restaurant, and a peaceful garden area, this affordable hotel makes a great base for concert-goers looking for convenience without breaking the bank. Just a short drive from the New Jersey Exposition and Convention Center and the Roosevelt Park Theater, it’s a solid pick for fans on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and this hotel delivers — just minutes from major venues and with free parking, it’s easy to come and go, even after a late-night show. Though not in a bustling downtown district, the hotel’s proximity to I-95 makes it super accessible for road-trippers. Guests appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and quiet rooms, perfect for winding down after a high-energy night. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out offer some flexibility for travelers on a concert schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends traveling together on a budget
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
  • Couples making a weekend getaway out of a live show
  • Fans needing a quieter space to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Shabri Restaurant and Bar serves up traditional Indian cuisine for lunch and dinner—great for a flavorful meal before or after the show. While there’s no 24/7 room service or late-night menu, there are walkable eateries and fast food options nearby. Coffee makers in each room and nearby breakfast spots help ease the morning after.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more laid-back and doesn't offer live music, the in-house bar is a convenient spot for a nightcap. If you're looking to keep the party going, bars and lounges are a short drive away in Edison and surrounding towns.

What People Say

Guests mention the hotel’s quiet surroundings and easy access to events as major pluses. Many highlight the affordability and ample parking, especially compared to pricier hotels closer to NYC. The on-site restaurant also gets praise for its authentic Indian flavors.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury property, so expect basic amenities and slightly dated decor. Some guests have noted that service can be hit-or-miss, and the hotel could use a few modern upgrades. But for the price, most agree it delivers solid value.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss place to stay near New Jersey concert venues, the Raritan Hotel is a smart and convenient choice.

Wouldn’t recommend 0/10

Disliked: Everything. From the location, to figuring out where the entrance was. It looks haunted. It smells really bad and the room was very very outdated. The lights took a minute to turn on and it flickered. Not at all like the pictures. It felt very unsafe to be there.

overall atmosphere of the place...

Liked: The room had a noticeably unfresh smell and felt quite dated overall. The carpet appeared untidy and worn, and the beds were not comfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's rest. The overall atmosphere of the place was uninviting—almost eerie—which added to the unpleasant experience. Unfortunately, this was not a comfortable or enjoyable stay.

Bad

Disliked: Absolutely Disgusting – Do NOT Stay Here!This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The moment you step inside, you’re hit with a horrible, weird smell that lingers throughout the entire place — the lobby, hallways, and especially inside the room. It smelled like a mix of mold, humidity, and marijuana. Totally unbearable.The carpets were wet, dirty, and steamy, with stains everywhere. The furniture was old, damaged, and sticky, and even the chairs were filthy. The bathroom was a disaster — the ceiling was broken, and there were stains all over. I honestly didn’t feel comfortable touching anything.There was absolutely no service, no housekeeping, and no front desk support. I don’t care how cheap it is — this place isn’t worth a single dollar. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone under any circumstances. Spend your money elsewhere.⸻Let me know if you want it worded more politely or with legal-safe language for posting on public sites.

Passable

Disliked: The bed was uncomfortable, and I could feel the springs beneath me. The cover for the box spring had stains all over it. The TV remote did not have batteries; the spa tub did not work.
