Short Hills Hilton, Grand Summit Hotel.
Obviously very pricey.
There is also a Holiday Inn on 22 in Springfield. |

It’s a motel, not a hotel, but over the past several years I've sent a ton of people to the Kenilworth Inn at exit 138 on the G.S. Parkway, (908) 241-4100. Their rates are $99. per night Mon.-Thurs., and $89. on Fri., Sat, and Sun...
Check it out, it’s only 10 minutes away, and BTW, no one has ever complained to me about them....
Good luck Mr. T

There's a relatively new hotel on Prospect Avenue in W.Orange, next to The Manor; it may be a Marriott Residence or Courtyard. I've had guests stay at the Summefield Suites on Columbia Turnpike (S.Orange Avenue's extension), just past Rt. 24. It's a solid 15+ minutes, but clean, spacious, and reasonable. My guests did the roundtrip Friday night, Saturday morning, and Saturday evening, and lived to tell about it. |

I wouldn't suggest the Turtle Brook Inn or the Kenilworth Inn. The Grand Summit is nice, as well as, the W on Rt. 10 in Livingston. It's really not that far... |

I second the recommendation for the Summerfield Suites on Columbia Turnpike in Morristown. Suites have full kitchens and a bedroom separate from the living area, which is really nice for families with kids. Their weekend rates are pretty reasonable - you can usually get a rate of under 100/night; cheaper if you book online.
We've had friends/family stay there when they visit and nobody has minded the drive.

'fugee, why wouldn't you recommend the Turtle Brook Inn or the Kenilworth Inn?

I think the Turtle Brook is fine! I've stayed there and my parents have stayed there. It's close by and clean and the staff is nice -- not luxury but absulutely fine with me. AND the chinese place next door have good dumplings, amazing chicken, and moo shu. Yum. |

The Turtlebrook Inn is ok, and very close. However, you'll be paying about the same for a basic motel as you'll pay at the Summerfield Suites for much more. There's also the Wilshire on Pleasant Valley Way in W.Orange; they refurbished a very old resort (from when the Oranges were a destination for vacationing New Yorkers). It's supposed to be very nice. |

The reason for my "non-suggestion" is based on negative reviews from colleagues staying at those locations. Maybe they're OK for the non-business traveler... |
