Residence Inn by Marriott Woodbridge Edison/Raritan Center

Spacious, Suite-Style Comfort Near NJ's Top Music Venues

Modern and welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Woodbridge Edison/Raritan Center offers extended-stay comfort just 15 miles from Newark’s biggest concert stages. Nestled in Woodbridge, this all-suite hotel is a great retreat after a late night of live music, and with easy access to the Garden State Parkway and I-95, getting to and from shows is a breeze. From free WiFi to in-room kitchenettes, it’s designed with convenience and longer stays in mind.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the easy access to Prudential Center and other North Jersey venues, without the high-energy chaos of staying in the city. The hotel’s indoor pool and generous check-out time (12:00 PM) make it easy to unwind after a big night out. With free bikes available, exploring the area before or after your event is a fun bonus. Plus, since the property is set back from major roads, guests report a quiet atmosphere for post-show recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want space to hang out and snack after the show
• Solo travelers catching that dream tour stop
• Couples turning a concert into a full weekend escape
• Fans needing rest and quiet after high-energy gigs
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite has a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and dishwasher, making midnight snacks or recovery breakfasts easy. A complimentary hot breakfast is served daily—perfect for late risers. There are also plenty of local dining options within a short drive or bike ride.

Nightlife Options

Although the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have its own bar, the Woodbridge area offers casual lounges and bars nearby. For something more lively, head toward Newark or NYC—both are easily accessible by car or train for pre- or post-concert drinks.

What People Say

Guests praise the clean, spacious suites, friendly service, and the option to cook their own meals. Many mention the excellent location for concert-goers attending events at Prudential Center or nearby venues. The indoor pool and fitness center are nice extras, especially for longer stays.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that dining options within walking distance are limited, so having a car or using delivery apps is helpful. Also, while the kitchenettes are great, they're better suited for simple meals rather than full cooking sessions.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show and want space, comfort, and a little peace and quiet after the encore, Residence Inn by Marriott Woodbridge Edison/Raritan Center is a smart and convenient pick.
