Moving to NYC, got a question

Hey guys,

I'll be moving to New York (Manhattan) in March, but I don't have a place yet. I've decided to search for apartments once I get to NYC, and in the first week or two (while I'm searching), I want to live in a hotel in New Jersey. My question is, what are some good towns/neighborhoods in New Jersey where I can find a moderately priced hotel and be close to Manhattan?

Thanks,
Stan.

Jersey City, Fort Lee, Weehawkin

The Sheraton in Weehawken is close to the city.

Newport / Exchange Place (both in Jersey City) are also good places, just across the river. It's easy to get to the city from there as well.

Newport has a Double Tree and Courtyard and I think there is a Hyatt Regency in Exchange Place.

Jersey city is your best bet

Weehawken is your best bet, the Ferry is literally OUTSIDE your door

there are a bunch of reasonably cheap motels and unexpensive hotels in the area of north bergen, jersey city, and hoboken (all of which are very accessible to NYC by bus or train). these areas are closest to midtown manhattan once you cross over the river..

if you want to be in a more residential area, try fort lee or that area, they have a Hilton and Sheraton nearby and a handful of motels too, and its real close to the george washington bridge (which would bring you into uptown manhattan)

good luck searchin

There is? I've lived in Hoboken for 3 years and never noticed..

Jersey city is nice now, and hoboken is also nice but not sure if they have any hotels either.

Depends where in Jersey City, you would want to be around the Journal Square PATH station...

what's the name of the hotel then?

unless you're thinking about the Hyatt across from the Exchange Place stop, but that's Jersey City

Posted by SidMl on Mar-01-2006 15:29:

I've seen it, I can't remember the name either. It's got the red telephone booth right outside. Right next to Spa diner. Dorchester or something.

Here's a good list of places in the area but the don't list the one in Hoboken:

I know what you are talking about.. the place with the red telephone booth outside it a jazz/blues club

That building has a sign that says Hotel Edward.. it's not actually a hotel.. they just left the concrete sign on the building.. it's an office buildingb
