Why Bloomfield Has Few Hotels
Bloomfield is a township in Essex County. Lodging sites list many hotels near Bloomfield but none inside the town limits. Two separate booking guides, HotelPlanner and HotelGuides, show the same pattern. Every property they list sits in a neighboring town.
We also searched for motels in Bloomfield. We found no motel we could confirm inside the township, so we do not list one here.
This matters for your plans. If a website promises a hotel in Bloomfield, check the street address and the town name before you book. The address will tell you the real location. If you need to be on foot in Bloomfield, call the property and ask how you will get to town.
Best Hotels Near Bloomfield, New Jersey
These are the properties we could confirm with at least two sources. We do not list rates. Prices change by date, so check a booking site or call the hotel. Check-in and check-out times can also change, so confirm them when you book.
The George in Montclair: Boutique Hotels Near Bloomfield
The George sits at 37 North Mountain Avenue in Montclair, New Jersey 07042. A hotel review site describes 31 individually designed rooms, including junior suites. A travel listing gives the phone number as 973-783-7878.
Guests get free parking and free Wi-Fi. A complimentary continental breakfast is served, but the hotel has no on-site restaurant. Reception can suggest nearby places for dinner. The Library has a fireplace and board games. A small gym includes a Peloton bike. The hotel allows dogs, and one listing notes an extra pet fee.
One listing gives check-in as 3:00 PM and check-out as 11:00 AM. We found only one source for those times, so confirm them by phone. The George suits couples and travelers who want a quiet, small hotel over a large chain.
The MC Hotel in Montclair: A Larger Option Near Bloomfield
The MC Hotel, part of the Marriott Autograph Collection, stands at 690 Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair. Do not confuse this address with Bloomfield Avenue addresses inside Bloomfield township. The hotel is in Montclair.
Trade press reported the hotel opened on August 15, 2019, with 159 rooms. An earlier project article gave the room count as 151 during planning, so confirm the final number if the count matters to you. The lobby restaurant is called Allegory. A ninth-floor rooftop bar, Alto, has views of the Manhattan skyline. Hospitality trade coverage from 2020 confirmed both venues.
Restaurant hours and menus change often. Both venues faced limits during 2020, so check the hotel website for current service before you plan a dinner there. The hotel sits one block from the Montclair Art Museum, according to NJBIZ. The same article places the Wellmont Theater within a short walk.
Family Hotels and Chain Hotels Near Bloomfield
Families and business travelers often prefer a chain hotel with a pool and a free breakfast. Two options near Bloomfield fit this need. Each one is a short drive from town, but we did not source drive times, so check a map for your own route.
Cambria Hotel West Orange
Cambria Hotel West Orange is at 12 Rooney Circle in West Orange, New Jersey 07052. Two booking sites agree on the address. They also agree on check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM.
Listings show an indoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, free self-parking, free Wi-Fi and an electric car charging point. The Local Kitchen and Tap serves American food and has a bar. Cooked-to-order breakfast costs extra, and a grab-and-go option is also available. The listing sets a minimum check-in age of 25. Pets are not allowed, except service animals.
Both listings come from booking sites, so we mark the amenity details as likely but worth a phone call.
La Quinta Inn and Suites Clifton and Rutherford
This hotel is at 265 Route 3 East in Clifton, New Jersey 07014. HotelPlanner and HotelGuides both list the address. A Travelocity listing adds the details below.
Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is before 11:00 AM. The minimum check-in age is 21. A free buffet breakfast runs from 6:00 to 9:00 AM. Parking and Wi-Fi are free, and the property has a fitness center and a 24-hour front desk. Certain rooms accept dogs and cats, with restrictions.
The listing is mixed on the pool question. One section lists a pool, while the FAQ says the hotel has none. Ask the hotel before you book if a pool matters to you. The listing also says the hotel has no airport shuttle.
Budget Hotels Near Bloomfield and Motels
Many travelers search for cheap hotels in Bloomfield. We cannot quote prices here, and we will not guess. Prices depend on the weekend, the season and local events. We can tell you which property is the one low-cost option we found, and what to check first.
Rodeway Inn Belleville: Read the Reviews First
The Rodeway Inn is at 568 Washington Avenue in Belleville, New Jersey 07109. Belleville borders Bloomfield. A hotel directory lists 38 rooms on two floors, with no elevator. The same directory lists a free continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking. Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM. The property has no pool and is not pet friendly.
Here is the catch. The directory page rates the hotel very low and shows a TripAdvisor score of 1.5 out of 5 from 16 reviews. We include the motel because the property is the closest budget lodging we found, but we do not recommend booking without reading current guest reviews. A second source confirms the address, but we found no phone number. Call the front desk through the brand website before you pay.
Hotels in Bloomfield: What We Checked
We checked the claims from the earlier version of this guide. We could not confirm any of the following inside Bloomfield, so they are gone.
The Manor House bed and breakfast, Bloomfield House boutique hotel, Bloomfield Plaza Motel and a Hilton Garden Inn Bloomfield location did not appear in any lodging directory we searched. The Embassy Suites and Super 8 properties named in the old post carried other towns in their names, and we did not verify them, so we dropped both. The Bloomfield Jazz Festival and a Bloomfield Visual Arts Center, which the old post named, also did not appear in our sources, so we dropped them.
If you know a real lodging in Bloomfield, tell us. We will verify and add the place.
