Top 10 River Road Hotels

A friend and I had just spent a lovely afternoon at the Morven Museum, the staff there suggested we try the Peacock Inn for lunch since it had ties to Morven. Curious to learn more about it we went. We valeted the car and saw many umbrella tables on the front lawn full of guests that looked like were enjoying a high tea. As we walked up the charming porch, we noticed tables and decided we would sit there. As we entered the inn, we were met with a glare from what we assumed was the front desk manager. I asked if we needed a reservation. He flatly and rudely stated that brunch ended at 2pm. We asked if they were serving lunch. He said in a completely bothered tone in a very pretentious manner that maybe, maybe they could do something like small bites, purveying in his voice that it would be a major inconvenience. We said that was fine and very much appreciated and we would be on the porch. A few minutes later a waiter appeared with a set printed afternoon menu served from 2-5. So, they did offer a set menu, there was no maybe, and we were discounted from the start. There was nothing said about their dining hours, no explanation, no apologies. We decided to leave as we felt unwelcome and looked at as a nuisance. I suggest that this manager be held accountable and relearn how to treat potential guests!

This is an amazing place to stay. They provided everything our group needed and more. The room sizes are absolutely amazing. The breakfast was delicious. It was worth the trip, worth the stay and worth the cost for all that they provide. We recommend this place to everyone. We're planning a family trip back for summertime to take advantage of all the outdoor fun. They're only 35min away from New York! WOW! I can't say enough about the wonderful staff. The Manager Shoaib helped with everything we needed as well as Mr. Roland Mracek. They made sure we had a wonderful stay. We had no problems. They're also 5-7min away from malls and restaurants. Shopping! Eating! Wonderful space to lay our heads. Can't wait for the summer. Shoaib thank you all and your wonderful stay.

Nice stay for 2 business nights in August. Convenient location with plenty of parking. Lobby was clean and bright. Front desk staff was friendly and engaging. Room was clean and fresh and didn't have any unusual smells. The breakfast was really good. My only issue was the AC in the room which didn't work effectively. After responding to the manager's check-in email someone came and attended to the AC, but it did not work any better. This is probably the best BonVoy property in the area.

I always enjoy my stay at the Bridgewater Marriott. Grace Lizardo director of room operations is always very accommodating. I enjoyed my room selection very clean and updated. The breakfast is delicious with me to order omelettes oatmeal, fruit, and other healthy selections. It’s close to many restaurants and close to New York City and other theater district in New Brunswick., New Jersey. The workout room has enough equipment for you to maintain a level of fitness while you are on the road. There’s also a heated pool.

We stayed here on 2 separate occasions during our 2 week summer vacation. The room we had on the first stay was an average sized room w/ a small fridge that didn't have a freezer. The suite we received on our second stay was a more typical suite we expect at a Homewood Suites - nice sized suite w/ a full kitchen. The breakfast was average with the usual spread of scrambled eggs, toast, muffins, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, but no bananas. On one occasion, we found the fresh fruit was spoiled. Overall we would stay here again because the location was convenient for us.

Towed from highway, needed emergency place to stay for one night. Very friendly greeting at registration. Room comfortable and spotless. Quiet room without slamming doors. Convenient to shopping, highway, restaurants.
