Family-Friendly Cheap Hotels with Indoor Pools in Northern New Jersey

We don't always have time, budget, or energy to plan an epic family vacation. Sometimes we just want a nearby no-frills family-friendly hotel with a pool and comfy beds, where we can take the kids for a quick and cheap staycation, am I right!? Bonus if they have free breakfast and some cool stuff to do nearby.

​So if you're in northern New Jersey finding yourself spinning circles googling "cheap hotels with indoor pools near me" LOL you're in the right spot - I got you!! Whether you are looking to get away last minute during a long three day weekend, or just want to surprise your kids for a random overnight adventure (while you escape that growing pile of laundry and list of chores to do), let's go!

Note: Below are my hand picked hotels from a search I did for President's Day (Feb 17-18) for 4 guests on Expedia, sorted in ascending price. My pricing examples below include taxes, fees, and Expedia membership discount (if applicable). I earn a commission if you book through my affiliate links below.
