Top South Mountain Reservation Hotel Reviews

The Kenilworth Hotel - Airport West

10/10 Excellent

"The room was large and clean. May have been under renovation as the baseboards and a dresser (property photos showed one in the rooms) were missing. Neither of those impacted our stay. Beds were comfortable and the pillows were great. Only issue was the shower, but it did the job. Not enough to impact our stay. I will definitely stay here if I travel to the area again."

Log Comfort 2

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay and staff was nice enough to ask if everything was okay."

The Albion Summit

8/10 Good

"My queen (my choice) updated room was small but adequate and clean. The bathroom was nicely updated..also nicely cleaned. The toilet handle needed adjustment to avoid running continuously but we did not report this until checkout. We did have an earlier question about TV remote and they came right away. The open check-in area, bar and restaurant is unique and modern but also makes for a noisy reception at peak times. Overall a good experience though I also liked the classic old Grand Summit."

Turkey Hill Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn't have picked a better place for our brief stay in New Jersey. The inn was spotless, the staff were wonderful, and the location was absolutely perfect for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back whenever we're in the area. Highly recommended!"

Courtyard by Marriott West Orange

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great front desk staff"

Grove 125

10/10 Excellent

"It was gas"

Log Comfort 3

8/10 Good

"The host was wonderful and very responsive. She even offers extended check out which was great. The listing could be a bit more detailed on the apartment. It appears to be a place to rent rooms but the whole apartment was offered. There is a camera IN the apartment which was very uncomfortable as I felt like I could not get comfortable for the time I was there and being watched I could not enjoy the living room. Other than that I have no complaints."
