New Jersey resort fees, city by city.
As of Oct 6, 2026, we have looked up 72 hotels in 2 New Jersey cities: on their own websites, 7 state a mandatory resort or destination fee, 1 states it charges none, and 64 could not be confirmed either way. Among the 7 New Jersey hotels that state a fee, the median is $30.00 a night, before any tax a hotel adds on top. The lowest is $18.00, at The Claridge Hotel (Atlantic City); the highest is $34.46, at Ocean Casino Resort (Atlantic City). These are the hotels we read in the cities we read, not every hotel in New Jersey.
Every figure on this page is a hotel's own website, read on the date its city page shows and linked from there. A hotel we could not confirm is counted as unconfirmed, never as charging nothing.
