Nearby highlights:

• Newark – business districts, Prudential Center, Newark Penn Station

• Montclair – restaurants, cafes, and a more walkable downtown area

• Local essentials – grocery stores, pharmacies, and everyday conveniences within a short drive



This is a straightforward, well-positioned stay for guests who want comfort, space, and access without being in the middle of the city.
