DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Fort Lee - George Washington Bridge
2117 Route 4 Eastbound, Fort Lee, NJ 07024, Fort Lee, United States
4-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.7 / 5
DoubleTree by Hilton Fort Lee - George Washington Bridge is a 4-star hotel set on Route 4 Eastbound in Fort Lee, New Jersey, just across the Hudson from Manhattan via the GW Bridge. Guest rooms feature flat-screen TVs with HD channels, free Wi-Fi, custom-designed beds, and relaxed contemporary decor, while suites step things up with separate living areas, minifridges, and whirlpool tubs. On-site dining includes an Italian cafe and a casual lounge, and the hotel also offers an indoor pool, a fitness center, and meeting space for gatherings or work sessions. Its location puts it within roughly a five-to-eight-mile drive of major Manhattan draws, including Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the American Museum of Natural History, MoMA, Times Square, Grand Central Terminal, and the Empire State Building. The New York Botanical Garden and Bronx Zoo are also within a similar range for travelers heading north instead of into Manhattan. As a straightforward, amenity-equipped suburban hotel rather than a boutique or luxury property, it functions well as a base for sightseeing trips into the city without the price tag of a Manhattan address. Public feedback is mixed, with a 3.7-star average across 2,551 reviews pointing to a solid but inconsistent guest experience.
Best for
This hotel suits travelers who want easy driving access to Manhattan's museums, parks, and landmarks but prefer New Jersey pricing and parking convenience over staying in the city itself. The indoor pool, fitness center, and on-site Italian cafe and lounge also make it a reasonable fit for road-trippers or families wanting amenities beyond just a bed. Suites with whirlpool tubs and separate living areas add appeal for couples or small groups wanting a bit more space.
Travel tips
Plan for a drive or rideshare into Manhattan, since most major attractions -- Times Square, the Empire State Building, MoMA, and Central Park -- sit roughly five to eight miles away across the George Washington Bridge, and bridge traffic can add significant time during peak hours. If your priority is northern attractions like the Bronx Zoo or New York Botanical Garden, this Fort Lee location is comparably close in the opposite direction. Given mixed reviews on room cleanliness, it's worth requesting a recently-serviced room at check-in if that's a concern.
What guests say
Recurring positive feedback centers on comfortable, clean rooms with soft bedding, along with friendly and attentive front-desk staff -- one guest singled out a specific staff member by name for going above and beyond. The on-site restaurant also earns praise for good food and service. On the negative side, some reviewers report cigarette odor in rooms, missing towels, and bathrooms that weren't properly cleaned, pointing to inconsistency in housekeeping standards. Overall sentiment is mixed, reflected in the moderate 3.7-star average across a large volume of reviews.
