Haunted Hotels in or near NJ

September 15, 2024 1:35 PM

My husband and I recently realized that our 13th wedding anniversary next year will be on a Friday the 13th (of June). Obviously, we need to go stay at a haunted hotel.

We live in central NJ near Trenton, and right now the front runner is Congress Hall in Cape May, which is a little pricy but has a day spa and pool in addition to being (allegedly) haunted. Any recommendations for haunted (but otherwise lovely) hotels within about a 2 hour drive of central NJ?

It is about 2 1/2 hours away from Trenton, but the Mohonk Mountain House is supposedly haunted in several different places.

Best answer: Logan Inn in New Hope PA, just over the NJ border has a haunted room, no. 6.

Response by poster: TWinbrook8, I made a reservation there yesterday! It definitely seemed like the best option unless I got different advice here. Thanks for reinforcing my decision! By the way, I had the opportunity to choose room 6 when I made the reservation, but I want fun - not terrifying. I chose a different room that may still be haunted, but hasn’t caused people to flee in the middle of the night.
