Bottom Line

This Homewood Suites located in Edgewater, NJ -- a 25-minute bus ride from Manhattan -- is a credit to the Homewood Suites brand. All of the big, clean rooms have comfortable beds, kitchenettes, and pull-out couches; some have separate living rooms, making this a particularly convenient choice for families. There are also freebies galore, which add up to an incredible value, including Wi-Fi, coffee and tea in the lobby, breakfast, shuttle service, abundant parking, and even a grocery shopping service. Features are also impressive for a mid-range chain: There's a modern 24-hour fitness center with a sauna, a business center with two computers and two printers, a guest laundry, and a convenience store. It's a great bet for families and extended stay travelers, as well as leisure travelers heading to Manhattan -- provided they don't mind trading value for convenience.
