Project Overview
Located in Edison, New Jersey, the Courtyard by Marriott Edison Woodbridge serves both business and leisure travelers with convenient access to major corporate hubs and regional transportation corridors. Following a comprehensive renovation, the property now features updated guestrooms, modern public spaces, and enhanced life safety systems, reinforcing its position in a competitive Central New Jersey market.
