No.
Hilton garden inn or Ramada
You could rent a Lakewood host house in town
(Carasaljo inn is in center of town - next to Rabbi Forchheimer shul, dr shanik and bmg and sons of Israel - but is drug and homeless filled so not recommended)

The Ramada is right next to Belz. Its not in the center of Lakewood but it's a frum area. Walkable to shuls. Shopping close by.

What are you looking to be close to?

Are you visiting over Shabbos or just during the week? Will you have a car?

Probably not for shabbos.
Sunday-Thursday

Probably with no car but no issue taking taxis.

I think the Ramada on Route 70 is the best choice for you.

I might be wrong about this, it's not my part of town, I think there's a shuttle near the Ramada that goes to the main area of town. Also if you're going to be with your husband, he can walk to shul from the Ramada which will save you a lot on taxis.

The other option is Lakewood Hosts. They rent houses in different areas of Lakewood. It's more expensive than a hotel. But, I would imagine this time of year, midweek, there's probably not a lot of demand, so the prices might be better. You can check their website.

So Lakewood hosts does not have availability.

These hotles mentioned are literally a 15 minute drive to BMG which I understand to be the center of Lakewood.

Is there really nothing closer?

I would really appreciate any more ideas.

There really isn’t a center in Lakewood anymore.. back when I was growing up, bmg was in the center. But ‘town’ was also where everyone shopped (a few blocks near yeshiva) today there are almost no jewish stores left there. Wherever you stay you’re bound to be near something.. there isn’t a center street where all the restaurants are, they’re all spread apart

Am I the only one that this thread rubbed me the wrong way? Maybe I just have a dark mind, but it seems like this person is not ‘from unzera’ and maybe wants to do something damaging...dunno just rubbed me the wrong way Hiding

If someone is coming to lakewood, there is a reason why and they should know the basic answers to the questions he/she is asking

Not that I need to explain myself to every poster here but if you post with you sn I will pm you.

I asked a few contacts In Lakewood and they all gave me the same things that I found here.

What type of food are you looking for.
On that side of Lakewood (near Ramada) there is pizza,upscale meat, burgers, ice cream. Not sure about bagels and breakfast - but there must be. It’s very built up with lots of frum stores.
