ORDER DISMISSING DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS TO DISMISS WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND PERMITTING PLAINTIFF TO SEEK LIMITED JURISDICTIONAL DISCOVERY

This matter comes before the Court by way of Defendants’1 motions to dismiss Plaintiff Cheri Marchionda’s (hereinafter, “Plaintiff’) Complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) [see Docket Items 7 & 9]; and by way of Plaintiffs informal application "to defer Defendants’ motions and to permit jurisdictional discovery. [See Docket Item 10.] For the reasons that follow, Defendants’ motions will be dismissed without prejudice, and with the right to refile upon completion of jurisdictional discovery relative to Defendants’ contacts with this forum.2

The events giving rise to this litigation occurred exclusively at ‘ the Embassy *210Suites Hotel in Des Moines, Iowa on April 11, 2014, while Plaintiff remained a guest of the hotel. (See generally Compl. at ¶ 4.) In her Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that another guest of the hotel, Christopher Lapointe (hereinafter, “Lapointe”), sexually assaulted her in her hotel room, after hotel personnel permitted him to enter her room. (See generally id. at ¶¶ 55-56, 61, 74-81.) Plaintiff states, in particular, that a hotel clerk gave Lapointe a key card to her room and claims that hotel maintenance personnel then bypassed the lock after the key card failed, in order for Lapointe to obtain entry. (Id. at ¶¶74-81.) As a result, Plaintiff asserts claims against the owner and operator of the hotel, the franchisor and its parent, and other purportedly related corporate entities, for “negligence, gross negligence, recklessness and willful wanton and outrageous miscondúct” and for punitive damages. (Id. at 97-101.).

All- Defendants now move to dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint on the grounds that their contacts with this forum prove insufficient for this New Jersey federal Court to obtain general or specific personal jurisdiction over them. (See, e.g., Embassy/Hilton Defs.’ Br. at 10-12, 14-21; Ham-mons Def. Br. at 3-5.).

Sufficient jurisdictional contacts arise in two forms: general and specific. Daimler AG v. Bauman, — U.S. -, 134 S.Ct. 746, 754, 187 L.Ed.2d 624 (2014). General jurisdiction, on one hand, generally requires that the defendant’s contacts be “so ‘continuous and systematic’ as to render them essentially at home in the forum State'.” ’ Id. For that reason, a deféndant’s “place of incorporation and principal place of business” constitute the paradigmatic bases for finding a corporate defendant “at home.” Id. In order to trigger general jurisdiction in locations other than these places, the defendant’s “operations” must prove “ ‘so substantial and of such a nature as to render the corporation’ ” essentially at home within the relevant state. Otsuka Pharm. Co., Ltd. v. Mylan Inc., 106 F.Supp.3d 456, 465, 2015 WL 1305764, at *7 (D.N.J. Mar. 23, 2015) (quoting Daimler, 134 S.Ct. at 754). Specific jurisdiction, on the other hand, requires that the suit “ ‘arise out of or relate to the defendant’s [specific] contacts with the forum.’ ” Daimler, 134 S.Ct. at 754 (quoting Helicopteros Nacionales de Colombia, S.A. v. Hall, 466 U.S. 408, 414 n. 8, 104 S.Ct. 1868, 80 L.Ed.2d 404 (1984)).

Plaintiffs Complaint in this instance makes plain that New Jersey does not constitute the place of incorporation and/or the principal place of business for any Defendant. (See generally Compl. .at ¶¶ 5-40.) Indeed, Plaintiffs own Complaint readily acknowledges that each Defendant qualifies as an out-of-state corporation (and identifies their out-of-state places of incorporation and principal business). (See generally id.) Plaintiff nevertheless alleges -that each Defendant “engages in substantial business in the State of New Jersey and [otherwise] has significant contacts with New Jersey.” (Id. at ¶¶ 6, 10, 14,18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38.).

In the pending motions, however, Defendants state that they have not directed activities towards New Jersey, nor have they otherwise availed themselves of this forum. (See Embassy/Hilton Defs.’ Br. at 10-12, 14-21; Hammons Def.’s Br. at 3-5.) Defendants have further bolstered these jurisdictional assertions with affidavits from corporate officers, with each stating that the relevant Defendant lacks any jurisdiction — conferring contacts within this District. (See, e.g., Wilcox Aff. (concerning Hilton Worldwide, Inc., Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Inc., Embassy Suites Management, LLC,' Embassy Suites Franchise, LLC, and Embassy Suites, Inc.); Groves Aff. (concerning John Q. Hammons Hotels, *211Inc., John Q. Hammons Hotels Management, LLC); Cameron Aff. (concerning Atrium TRS III, LP); Groves Aff. (concerning Hammons, Inc.).) In light of Plaintiffs “specific, non-frivolous assertions in her Complaint regarding Defendants’ substantive contacts with [this] jurisdiction,” however, Plaintiff requests ninety (90) days of jurisdictional discovery, “consistent with Third Circuit precedent.” 3 [Docket Item 10.].

The Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit directs district courts to permit “jurisdictional discovery” unless the plaintiffs jurisdictional claims appear “ ‘clearly frivolous.’ ” Toys “R” Us, Inc. v. Step Two, S.A., 318 F.3d 446, 456 (3d Cir. 2003) (quoting Massachusetts School of Law at Andover, Inc. v. American Bar Ass’n, 107 F.3d 1026, 1042 (3d Cir. 1997)). Indeed, if “a plaintiff presents factual allegations that suggest ‘with reasonable particularity’ the possible existence of the requisite ‘contacts between [the party] and the forum state,’ the plaintiffs right to conduct jurisdictional discovery [must] be sustained.” Id. (internal citation omitted). Jurisdictional discovery should not, however, serve as “a fishing expedition” .into the underlying merits, all while “under the guise of jurisdictional discovery.” LaSala v. Marfin Popular Bank Public Co., Ltd., 410 Fed.Appx. 474, 478 (3d Cir. 2011).

Based upon the record developed thus far, the Court has serious doubts concerning whether any amount of discovery would demonstrate a basis for this New Jersey federal court tó exercise personal jurisdiction over the Defendants, particularly because this action appears to stem entirely from out-of-state conduct of seemingly out-of-state entities. (See generally Compl.) Even more, Plaintiffs allegations concerning the substantiality of Defendants’ contacts with this forum are, at least in part, entirely conclusory. Indeed, Plaintiff - simply states, with little detail, that each Defendant “engages in substantial business in the- State of New Jersey and [otherwise] has significant contacts with New Jersey.” (Compl. at 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38.)

Nevertheless, as alleged in Plaintiffs Complaint, this action involves a maze of well-known and large corporate entities, with numerous corporate forms, and operations wide in scope.4 As a result, the Court cannot conclude, upon this record, that Plaintiffs have presented no factual allegations that suggest with reasonable particularity the conceivable existence of the requisite contacts between Defendants and the forum state. See Toys “R” Us, Inc., 318 F.3d at 456. Nor can.the Court find Plaintiffs jurisdictional allegations wholly frivolous. See Witasick v. Estes, No. 11-3895, 2012 WL 3075988, at *7 (D.N.J. July 30, 2012) (declining to permit jurisdictional discovery, where the plaintiffs jurisdictional claims were “clearly frivolous”). ’

Therefore, the Court finds a limited period of jurisdictional discovery appropriate prior to addressing Defendants’ jurisdictional challenges. [See ■generally Docket Items 7 & 9.] The Court will not, however, allow unfettered discovery, nor will it per*212mit Plaintiff to engage in an endless fish-, ing expedition. Rather, the Court will permit Plaintiff to serve appropriately-tailored interrogatories- and document requests, - in addition to written deposition requests upon Defendants’ affiants. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 31, 33, &-34. The substance of these discovery requests must be- focused upon the substantiality of each Defendant’s contacts with this forum, bearing in mind the binding case law on general jurisdiction over, corporate defendants, above. Moreover, the jurisdictional discovery must be completed, in its entirety, by no later than September 30, 2015, and any discovery disputes should be directed to the Honorable Karen M. Williams, U.S. Magistrate Judge. Consequently, for good cause shown; .
