Hotels in Tenafly and Rutherford said they were sold out and were turning away numerous callers looking to book a room.
"I have been here since seven o'clock and the phone has not stopped ringing," said Donna Italia, general manager Clinton Inn Hotel and Event Center in Tenafly , who said the hotel's 119 rooms were sold out Sunday night also.
