Guest rating: 3.5 / 5

Linden Motor Inn is a roadside-style inn located at 2520 E Edgar Rd in Linden, New Jersey, positioned for travelers who want a base between Newark-area attractions and Lower Manhattan sights. The property’s star class and on-site amenities are not documented in the available listing data, so it’s best approached as a straightforward, no-frills stop where the address and access to the region are the main draw. From here, major NYC landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty (about 15.8 km away), Ellis Island (about 16.5 km), and One World Trade Center and One World Observatory (about 19.1 km) are within a manageable drive. Nearby New Jersey points of interest include The Newark Museum of Art (about 11.4 km), Essex County Turtle Back Zoo (about 14.1 km), and Thomas Edison National Historical Park (about 15.1 km). Liberty State Park (about 16.0 km) and the Liberty Science Center (about 15.7 km) are also close enough for a day visit. Public reviews indicate a mid-range overall rating (3.5/5 from 82 reviews) with mixed experiences reported.

Best for

This inn may suit budget-focused travelers who primarily need a place to sleep while exploring Newark-area museums and family attractions or visiting Lower Manhattan landmarks by car. It’s also a practical choice for people who prioritize a Linden address near Liberty State Park, Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty access points, and downtown Manhattan sites over resort-style amenities (which are not documented).

Travel tips

If you plan to visit the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island, build in extra time for getting to the appropriate ferry departure area; Liberty State Park (about 16.0 km away) is a common access point on the New Jersey side. Popular downtown Manhattan stops clustered around the World Trade Center—9/11 Memorial & Museum, One World Trade Center, Federal Hall, and the New York Stock Exchange—are all roughly 19 km away, so grouping them on the same day can reduce back-and-forth travel. Because amenities are not documented and reviews mention variable room conditions, consider confirming your room preferences (such as non-smoking) directly with the property before arrival.

What guests say
