Detailed Reviews: Top Hotels in South Jersey, NJ
1. La Quinta by Wyndham Mt. Laurel – Philadelphia
The Vibe
This three-star Mount Laurel hotel sits 16 miles from downtown Philadelphia, making it a smart base for Lincoln Financial Field visits. Guests clock staff at 8.5 and Wi-Fi at 8.7, but the real draw is the no-carpet floors — travelers rate the cleanliness at 8.4 with repeat mentions of spacious rooms.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with microwaves, a detail guests call out as increasingly rare. The on-site fitness center works for morning sessions, and the free breakfast included in the rate beats hunting for a diner. Pets are allowed at no extra charge — confirmed by the property itself. The refundable security deposit is returned promptly, per guest feedback. Groups booking 10+ rooms face different policies, so call ahead for team stays.
Choose this if: You want free parking + breakfast and a pet policy that doesn’t charge.

2. Super 8 by Wyndham Mount Laurel
The Vibe
A no-frills, two-star property that prioritizes location over polish. Positioned just off the New Jersey Turnpike, it’s a 20-minute drive to downtown Philly. The location scores an 8.4, but Wi-Fi drops to 6.2 — don’t bank on streaming here.
What You Actually Get
Rooms are basic: you get a bed (king or otherwise), a private bathroom, and free Wi-Fi that guests find spotty. Free parking is confirmed by the property. There’s breakfast available, but no mention of a pool, gym, or air conditioning in the facilities list. Pets are not allowed, and the property requires a photo ID and credit card at check-in. Groups booking 10+ rooms need to confirm separate policies.
Choose this if: You just need a bed near the Turnpike and don’t care about amenities.
3. La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Mount Laurel Moorestown
The Vibe
The star of the Mount Laurel lineup. Every major category sits at 9.0 or 9.1 — staff, facilities, cleanliness, comfort, and location. Guests consistently call it “super clean” and highlight the hardwood-style floors. The indoor pool is heated and open year-round.
What You Actually Get
All rooms are equipped with Keurig coffee makers — a small luxury that matters on early mornings. The fitness center is available for workouts, and the free on-site parking saves $20+ a night compared to Philly hotels. Breakfast is included, and the property does charge a $75 damage deposit at check-in. Pets are allowed with applicable fees; service animals are accepted with proper documentation but no fee. The pool is both indoor and heated, per the property’s own confirmation.
Choose this if: Cleanliness is non-negotiable — this scores 9.1 and guests rave about it.

4. Hyatt House Mount Laurel
The Vibe
Hyatt House sits 12 miles from Philadelphia, appealing to families and extended-stay travelers. The 8.5 location score is solid, but cleanliness at 7.8 and facilities at 7.6 keep it from competing with the top tier. Where it shines is suite configuration: two-bedroom units with a king in one room and two doubles in the other.
What You Actually Get
Each suite has two TVs — one in the living room and one per bedroom. The on-site restaurant and free breakfast simplify meal planning. A seasonal outdoor pool operates from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Pets are allowed on request with charges. The property offers free private parking and a fitness center. Kids 18 and over are charged as adults, so check ages carefully when booking. Check-out is a generous noon.
Choose this if: You need a two-bedroom layout with a kitchen and living room.
5. Hampton Inn Philadelphia/Mt. Laurel
The Vibe
A reliable three-star Hilton property that delivers consistency. The staff score of 8.6 leads here, and guests specifically mention the “yummy breakfast” and comfortable beds. Location at 8.5 and surrounding free parking make it a popular choice for families visiting the area.
What You Actually Get
Rooms include refrigerators and microwaves — confirmed by guest Q&A. The outdoor pool is open with a reduced daily schedule. Free parking is available, and the good breakfast is included in the rate. Pets are allowed with charges. Groups booking up to 9 rooms are fine; beyond that, different policies apply. Check-in ends at 11 PM, so late arrivals need to coordinate. A photo ID and credit card are required at check-in.
Choose this if: You value friendly service and a reliable breakfast spread.

What You Actually Get
Rooms feature separate living areas with a queen sofa bed, plus a flat-screen in each zone. The on-site restaurant and free breakfast reduce the need to leave the property.

7. Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham Mount Laurel Moorestown
The Vibe

Free private parking is available, and pets are allowed with charges. The property requires a $75 damage deposit at check-in. Guests consistently praise the staff and management as “top tier.” This is a two-star property, but scores punch well above that rating level. Buffet breakfast is included.

Others like La Quinta Moorestown (H3) and The Westin (H11) allow pets with charges. Super 8 (H2), DoubleTree (H8), Holiday Inn Express (H10), and Hilton Garden Inn Mount Holly (H15) do not allow pets. Always confirm the specific pet policy at booking.
Which hotels offer free cancellation?
All properties in this list have cancellation policies that vary by room type and booking date. Typically, refundable rates offer free cancellation up to 24-48 hours before check-in, while prepaid rates are non-refundable. When searching, look for “Free cancellation” filters on booking platforms. Properties like Hyatt Place (H6) and La Quinta Moorestown (H3) often offer flexible cancellation on standard rates.
What’s the best area to stay in South Jersey?
Mount Laurel is the central hub for South Jersey hotel stays — it’s 15-20 minutes from Philadelphia, right off I-95 and the New Jersey Turnpike. The hotels cluster around Fellowship Road, Crawford Place, and Route 38, giving easy access to Lincoln Financial Field, the Liberty Bell, and local shopping. For a quieter option, Westampton (Hilton Garden Inn, H15) is 13 miles from Sesame Place, ideal for families.
Can I check in late at these Mount Laurel hotels?
Most properties have 24-hour front desks or late check-in windows. La Quinta Moorestown (H3) accepts check-in until 12:00 AM, DoubleTree (H8) until 11:00 PM, and Aloft (H16) until 12:00 AM.

Taxis run $50-70. Rental cars are available at the airport and most hotels offer free on-site parking, making a rental the most flexible option. There’s no direct train — the NJ Transit Bus 317 connects to Mount Laurel but requires a transfer.

Hawthorn Extended Stay (H7), SpringHill Suites (H9), DoubleTree (H8), Hilton Garden Inn Mt. Laurel (H12), Homewood Suites (H13), and Hilton Garden Inn Mount Holly (H15) all have indoor pools.
