The Spotlight on The Wilshire Grand Hotel

Elegant Comfort Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern charm meets suburban tranquility at The Wilshire Grand Hotel in West Orange, NJ. Just 20 miles from New York City, this upscale property offers a peaceful retreat after a high-energy concert night, with plush rooms, thoughtful amenities, and a touch of classic style. With free Wi-Fi, iPod docking stations, and cable TV with HBO in every room, you’ll have everything you need to relax and recharge.

Enjoy a stroll to nearby Verona Park or explore Montclair’s vibrant scene just a few miles away. The hotel’s free local shuttle, 24-hour convenience shop, and on-site restaurant make it easy to stay entertained and well-fed, even after hours.

Why Concert-goers love it

Conveniently located less than 30 minutes from major NYC venues and near Montclair’s live music scene, this hotel gives you the best of both worlds: easy access to shows and a quiet place to recover. The free local shuttle helps with late-night logistics, while flexible check-in at 3 PM and a solid breakfast help you settle in or sleep in. Rooms are quiet and well-insulated, making them great for post-show wind-downs.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading into the city or catching a Montclair show
  • Solo travelers chasing a dream concert
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans looking for value just outside NYC

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Primavera Restaurant and Bar serves Italian dinners daily and weekday lunches, ideal for pre-show bites or late returns. A buffet breakfast helps ease the morning after a late night, and the 24-hour convenience shop is perfect for snacks or essentials at any hour. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the dining options are solid and easy to access.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about quiet comfort than nightlife, Montclair’s bars and lounges are a short ride away, and NYC’s legendary venues are just a quick drive or train trip. The on-site bar is a cozy spot for a nightcap, with a relaxed vibe and a good wine list.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the peaceful location that still keeps them close to the action. The free shuttle service is a major perk, and many appreciate the excellent breakfast and well-maintained fitness center. The outdoor terrace and putting green add a nice touch of leisure.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the decor could use a modern refresh, and others wish the on-site restaurant stayed open later. However, most agree these are minor trade-offs for the comfort and convenience offered.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a peaceful, elegant base close to NYC concerts without the Manhattan price tag, The Wilshire Grand Hotel is a top pick.

Good for the price

Liked: The room was comfortable and the front desk people were wonderful.
Disliked: The rooms AC was not on when we got there so it was 80 degrees in the room. The fixtures are a little outdated and the Continental breakfast was not very appetizing.

Good

Liked: The location was very convenient with ample parking. The front desk staff were friendly and quite helpful. Our room on the 2nd floor was spacious and the bathroom was a decent size. The patio area was welcoming.
Disliked: The bathroom was a dated and lacked space to keep toiletries. The lighting in our room was not very efficient. The lights were poorly placed. Breakfast was disappointing. The selection was limited and offered no non-dairy options. Healthier cereal options would be nice.

Wendy Sat, 26 July 2025

Good

Liked: The staff went above and beyond helping when they could. They were generous, got ice for me when the machine on the 1st floor didn't work (they went to the 2nd for me), allowed a guest of mine to stay & have breakfast with me. The bed was comfy, nice towels in the bathroom, the room had what you needed.
Disliked: A few quirks, it took a while for someone to answer the phone at the main desk, I couldn't get the water to drain in the tub, you had to push very hard on the buttons to get the tv remote to work. With the bathtub drain, they were willing to send someone to the room but it was late and I was tired. The room was not that quiet but it could have been due to the noise of the air conditioner, and I wasn't far from the elevator. I didn't hear other guests.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Cathy Thu, 24 July 2025

Pleasant

Liked: Staff was helpful and kind
Disliked: Refrigerator in room was loud and pinged all night. My son had to leave a midnight because he couldn't sleep. We changed rooms the second night, but the refrigerator was still noisy. Bath/shower water handle was very difficult and falling apart. Breakfast was very basic. Key card had to be "reset" multiple times due to it not working. Won't stay here again.
