Visit Totowa

Visiting & Lodging

Totowa is best suited to practical North Jersey travel: shopping, business trips, family visits, dining and easy road access to nearby Passaic County attractions. Route 46 and I-80 put the borough within a short drive of Paterson Great Falls, Willowbrook Mall and other regional destinations.

In-town lodging: Totowa has a current full-service-style select-service hotel on Route 46, giving visitors a genuine lodging option inside the borough instead of requiring a neighboring-town stay.
