Here Are NJ's Best Hotels 2022: U.S. News & World Report

NEW JERSEY — The Reeds at Shelter Haven, a boutique hotel in Cape May County, came out on top in U.S. News & World Report's recent rankings of the best hotels in each state for 2022. But hotels in towns and cities around the Garden State landed on the list.

The top-10 list spanned hotels from Stone Harbor to Asbury Park to Jersey City and Hoboken.

U.S. News scored hotels using a methodology that combines each hotel's industry awards with its star rating and guest sentiment. U.S. News did not include COVID-19 data in the rankings, and noted that some hotels and resorts may be currently offering different or modified services and amenities.

However, several of the major industry awards factored into the rankings take property
cleanliness into account.

"The travel industry has faced many disruptions over the past two years, highlighting the need to support and recognize hotels that continue to maintain excellent standards," Zach Watson, senior travel editor at U.S. News, said in a statement.

"The 2022 Best Hotels rankings offer a dependable guide for travelers to use when organizing their next trip, whether that's in a few weeks or later in the year."

The entry for the Reeds at Shelter Inn, a boutique hotel with 37 rooms, quotes a review as saying, "Design touches like wrought-iron cattails, glass-mosaic walls and driftwood-inspired chandeliers reflect the coastal surroundings and act as a backdrop to clean, contemporary furnishings."
