"Stayed in the month of March to help my son - a junior at Rutgers University in business, who had a medical emergency. We have been staying at this inn for the past 6-7 years and can really appreciate this diamond in the rough.
It's a very basic hotel, must have been a dormitory in the distant past. Three floors of rooms - either two double beds or one queen bed configuration. The management and staff were extremely helpful and accommodating in helping us nurse our son back to health after his surgery - broken leg that required surgery to implant a rod and pins.
Place is quiet, free parking very close to door, and central to the campuses of New Brunswick and near Piscataway campus. Plenty of restaurants for take-out nearby. Price is extremely affordable, no breakfast, but you can get a Keurig Coffee Pod and make a cup of custom coffee. Nothing within walking distance, but close drive (5-10 min) to a variety of bagel shops and other food stores, grocery, Target, etc. and straight shot back to the Inn without being stuck in heavy commuter traffic.
Would recommend this hotel if you have a student or reason to visit Rutgers University, or are in the New Brunswick area, and don't need all the amenities."

"I was entirely happy with my room and its amenities."
George B./March 2026/Expedia
"A truly wonderful facility - central to the campus, close/accessible parking, great staff and management, quiet, and all the amenities we really needed. I would be happy to write a letter to the appropriate leadership highlighting what a valuable resource the Rutgers Inn is to the community - parents, alumni, faculty, and staff. For me, I have been staying here for the past 7 years and anticipate another year when my son completes his senior year."

Eu gostei de tudo! Um único porém foi o fato de não terem reposto o hidratante no banheiro do quarto, mas isso é irrelevante em relação aos benefícios oferecidos pela estadia.
