Planning a trip to Manhattan often comes with a dilemma: stay in the loud, crowded city or find a quiet retreat that doesn’t sacrifice convenience. For savvy travelers in 2026, The Westfield Inn, BW Signature Collection, has become the ultimate “secret weapon” for visiting NYC.
- The 56-Minute Manhattan Connection
One of the top reasons travelers search for hotels near New York City is commute efficiency. The Westfield Inn is located just minutes (walking distance) from the Westfield NJ Transit station.
- The Route: Hop on the Raritan Valley Line for a smooth ride into Newark Penn Station, with a quick transfer to NY Penn Station.
- The Advantage: You avoid the $90+ Uber fees and the gridlock of the Lincoln Tunnel, arriving in Midtown Manhattan in under an hour.
- Boutique Charm Over Corporate Chains
Unlike the massive, sterile hotels found in Manhattan, The Westfield Inn offers an intimate, European-style experience. Following its recent renovation, the property combines modern amenities—like hard-surface flooring and ergonomic workstations—with the warmth of a historic inn. It’s the kind of place where the staff remembers your name.
- Five-Star Dining Without the Waitlist
Manhattan dining can be a headache of reservations and high prices. At The Westfield Inn, you have Chez Catherine—routinely ranked as one of the best French restaurants in the entire state—right on the premises. You can enjoy an elegant, authentic French dinner and simply walk upstairs to your suite.
- A “Home Base” That Actually Feels Like Home
Traveling to NYC is exhilarating but exhausting. Coming back to the quiet, tree-lined streets of Westfield is the perfect antidote. Guests enjoy:
- Complimentary Full Breakfast: Fuel up for your city adventure without the NYC price tag.
- Modern Amenities: Every room features a wine fridge, microwave, and refrigerator, allowing you to relax with your own snacks and drinks after a day of sightseeing.
- Safe & Walkable Neighborhood: Westfield is one of the safest towns in NJ, allowing you to enjoy a late-night stroll to a local wine bar or ice cream shop with total peace of mind.
- Value That Can’t Be Ignored
In 2026, the price of a mid-range hotel room in Manhattan can easily double the rate of a suite at The Westfield Inn. When you factor in free parking (a $50+/night savings compared to the city) and the included amenities, the choice becomes clear.
Are you ready to book your New York City adventure? Stay at The Westfield Inn and experience the best of both worlds—small-town luxury and big-city access.
