Note: There are lots of chain-hotels on Route 73 in Marlton/Mt Laurel, NJ around exit 4 of the New Jersey Turnpike and exit 36A of I-295.  However, they are all about 1 hour drive from this field - maybe more depending on traffic. Mt Laurel is a very commercial/business area - so sometimes the hotels are cheap on weekends - but it is every bit of a 1 hour drive.

Here is a list of hotels in the Marlton/Mt. Laurel, NJ area as noted in a flyer for a "near-by" club pattern contest, the West Windsor club pattern contest..
