A standard 3-star business hotel. It’s comfortable overall. Few hotels in the area have a swimming pool so we didn’t have many choices.

A little Asian joint in Rutherford. Surprisingly good fusion ramen (short rib simmered in French onion soup).

A family feel Italian restaurant. Dishes were hit or miss but we enjoyed the vibe.
