The Spotlight on Rest Inn - Elizabeth

Budget-Friendly Comfort Near New Jersey's Top Venues

Modern and simple, Rest Inn - Elizabeth is a no-frills motel located in Elizabeth, NJ—just 6.5 miles from the Prudential Center and 7 miles from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. It's a smart pick for music fans looking to stay close to the action without breaking the bank. With free WiFi, free parking, and easy access to Newark Liberty International Airport (only 3.7 miles away), the Rest Inn is all about convenience and value.

Rooms come with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms. Select rooms even include kitchenettes with a fridge—handy for longer stays or late-night snacks.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest perks is the location: you're under 7 miles from both Prudential Center and NJPAC, making it easy to get to and from shows without hassle. Despite being close to major roadways, the motel is in a quieter part of Elizabeth, offering a peaceful place to crash after a high-energy night. Plus, its proximity to Newark Airport makes late-night or early-morning arrivals a breeze. The 3 p.m. check-in gives you time to settle in before heading to your event, and 11 a.m. check-out means no early scramble the next day.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable place to stay close to major venues
  • Solo travelers attending a must-see show
  • Couples doing a weekend concert date
  • Fans needing a quiet space to unwind after a show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting clean, simple accommodations

Food and Drink Options

While the Rest Inn doesn’t offer on-site dining, several casual eateries and fast food spots are easily accessible by car or delivery app. Some rooms have kitchenettes, great for storing snacks or reheating leftovers. Breakfast is not provided, so plan a quick morning bite nearby before hitting the road again.

Nightlife Options

There’s no on-site bar or entertainment, but you're just a short Uber or Lyft ride from downtown Newark’s growing nightlife scene. From trendy lounges to classic pubs, there's plenty to explore pre- or post-concert. For a more chill night, the motel's quiet surroundings offer a welcome wind-down.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the affordable rates, clean rooms, and friendly staff. The motel earns points for its proximity to the airport and New Jersey’s major concert venues. Travelers say it's a solid base if you're just looking for a place to sleep after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills motel, so don’t expect luxury amenities or elaborate decor. Some guests mention that the property could use a bit of updating, and a few note occasional noise from nearby roads. There’s also no breakfast or on-site restaurant, so plan ahead for meals.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert and need a budget-friendly, convenient place to crash, Rest Inn - Elizabeth keeps things simple, quiet, and close to the action.

there was no stay as...

Liked: Nothing! When we arrived to the Rest Inn location, we were told that there was no room for us. They said the rooms were only reserved for pre pays. When I made the reservation in booking.com, it gave me no option to pre pay, the only option I saw was to reserve and pay at time of arrival to the location. I was able to make reservation though, but the front desk guy rudely told me that the only option was the pre paid and they had no more rooms available.So we ended up on the street with no place to stay and desesperately looking for a place to stay, which afortunately we were able to find.

Bad

Liked: Absolutely terrible. The room wasn't even as big as my bedroom at home. What was supposed to be a double was a fullsize bed which took up 80% of the space and a bathroom the size of a closet that reminded me of jail . Demanded refund and they kept $20 since we were there a half hour while searching for another hotel...one by the way was only $27 more and was almost a suite... especially compared to there
Disliked: Staff were very idc in attitude. Room the size of a closet.. bathroom disgusting and didn't have toilet paper. A $30 room for $120... No thanks

Worst stay ever. I stayed...

Liked: Cheapest hotel
Disliked: Worst stay ever. I stayed in a motel at Mansa/Zambia and Kota buharu/Malesia. These were village motels in 3rd world countries and they were way better than this one. Dirty,smelly,bad air conditioning, bath was disgusting. Everything was bad. Even there wasn't any fire alarm which I am sure it is a code violation
