Hilton Garden Inn

Wanted to send a great big thank you out to Paul Hahn, GM for Hilton Garden Inn Bridgewater. Mr. Hahn went above and beyond to help me locate the $ 70 Canon camera charger that we left behind in September. Not only was our stay wonderful, but Paul wasted no time in finding my belongings (in their very secure lost and found) AND… called me back when he said that he would! Now that is what I call customer service! Thanks, Paul!

Just on staff friendliness and helpfulness alone they get 5 stars. The room is what you’d expect from an HGI — clean, functional, comfortable. The staff is really great though.

I always like staying here. The whole place and the rooms are always clean and comfortable. That bed? It’s like sleeping on a cloud. Not that I know what that feels like… you get the idea.
The conference rooms are also great and the staff is super nice and helpful. There is an indoor pool and hot tub but I tend to avoid it as it’s usually full of kids hyped up on candy and splashing around.
The breakfast is decent, not something I’d have every morning. The little pantry store can be pricy but they do sell wine, beer, and mini liquor bottles (Tito’s!!). The lobby bar is usually open pretty late on the weekends and the bartenders are super sweet.
Definitely a great hotel choice in this area!

The Hilton Garden Inn is probably the best affordable hotel option in the Bridgewater Raritan area. When you don’t want to pay $ 300/​night to stay at the Marriott Bridgewater (why is it so expensive for a hotel in suburban New Jersey?), the Hilton Garden Inn is your best bet.
I spent more than ²⁄₃ of my weeks in 2014 staying in this Hilton Garden Inn. The friendly staff is honestly what kept me coming back when I traveled for my work in Raritan. They are some of the most professional hotel staff I have ever met, always greeted me with a smile, and really just went out of their way to make my stay great. I left my a bag there over the weekends, and the staff brought it up to my room before my arrival every week without prompting.
It is also close to I-​287, making it a easy shot to Morristown or Edison. For business travelers, the proximity to Target, Marshalls, and the Bridgewater mall is great (and slightly dangerous for compulsive shoppers). There are no easy food options in the immediately vicinity, so here are some recommendations:
Canton Palace — Great, authentic Chinese food. Good for dinner, whether you eat in or take out. I highly recommend their Cantonese pan fried noodles with chicken. Don’t come here to eat Kung Pao chicken; try something off the other parts of the menu or ask the server for his recommendation.
Acapulco — Authentic Mexican tacos in an equally authentic setting. Don’t discount their décor and stay to try their al pastor (pineapple and pork) and carne (beef) tacos. If you are adventurous, their lengua (Beef tongue) tacos are amazing.
Costco — Really. Great for quick and cheap bites in the form of pizza slices, chicken bakes, and berry smoothies. Protip: You don’t need a membership to buy their hot food and can just walk in from the exit.

Nice hotel, clean, nice lobby layout with open style restaurant/​bar (open till 10pm) and comfortable outside patio.

It’s a pretty good hotel to stay at, nice, clean rooms. the only bad part was when I went down to get something to eat from the little convenience shop downstairs and the man at the front desk was so rude to me when I wanted to pay with a credit card instead of cash.

Lovely place close to highway without the noise. Close to
Many great food and shopping places. Easy access to highways.

Really more of a 2−½. Going to try the Holiday Inn next.

I am upping the ante to 5 stars. travel down here quite a bit for job and this place absolutely blows the Marriot away! The beds are very comfortable, shower volume is high, full array of cable channels. and the restaurant is a sleeper… try the Japanese dinner special, the miso soup is awesome! Can’t believe someone complained about the breakfast… as good as any… and walnuts in the oatmeal!!!

Stayed here this week a couple of nights — not super fancy, but very clean and comfortable. Extremely friendly employees, good bed and a great shower. It’s a solid choice & reasonably priced. Bonus — it’s right by the Somerset Patriots ballpark, so baseball fans should be quite happy.

I don’t usually visit 3 star hotels, but I must say I was really impressed with this place. The entrance is gorgeous. The rooms are humble but clean and comfortable. And fresh cookies are baked even at midnight (my time of arrival). Good job Hiltons… you got this one right!

Although the hotel is mostly suited for business travelers, its proximity to shops like Target, Costco, supermarkets, 7-​Eleven, and some restaurants make it great for out-​of-​towners as well. The rooms are big and spacious and clean — bed feels like a temper pedic knock-off…it molds to the body but gets soft after a while. There’s a knob to adjust the bed’s firmness but how does one reach it under the sheet covers and padding. There’s a 24-​hour pantry with snacks and supplies such as detergent for the $ 1 quarter washing machine/​dryer in case your stay is a bit longer or you need a touchup. Free parking too.
BUT, do skip their breakfast altogether especially their breakfast buffet for $ 10.95. Totally not worth the cost. It reminds me of eating McDonald’s deluxe breakfast for half the cost (and ironically is down the block)…the eggs taste the same, OJ from concentrate. And they don’t restock the food once it gets emptied.
