Hyatt Regency Hotel

“ Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is ideally placed for travel on the PATH - the port authority subway across to the World Trade Centre, or up to 33rd street (near Maddison Sq Gardens, Penn Station, Empire State).
Breakfast buffet good value and view fantastic, also waiting staff were very good.
View from rooms on the north side of the hotel across to manhattan spectacular. Amazing to look across at the Empire State every evening.
Although the hotel is in New Jersey, you can be in uptown Manhattan in 30 mins on the PATH.

“ Top Tip: The Newport Mall just north of the hotel, on the New Jersey side has all the bige stores - Macy's, JC Penny, Sears, and the sales tax is lower than in New York. There is no sales tax on clothing under $100 anyway. Go to customer services in Macy's and they will give you a tourist 10% off card (for foreign tourists)
Very stylish (and pricey) restaurant call the Light Horse on the corner of Washington and Morris. A much cheaper french bistro is opposite. There is also an irish bar/ restaurant on Montgomery St, past Warren which we ate in twice, as the food was so good.
If you are doing the Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty tour, go from the Liberty State Park terminal (which is an interesting building in itself) The queues are much shorter. There is a small ferry that runs on week days that goes across from Warren to the park - costs $1 and saves the long walk around.
To get to the sites in downtown Manhattan either take the PATH across to the World Trade Centre, then a short walk to the main subway stations, or there is a ferry ($5.50) from Paulus Hook pier.

“ The Hyatt Jersey City seems to be aiming at the local business clientele rather than tourists or family groups. The rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished however the one we were staying in didn't have a fan in the bathroom; which seemed strange for a relatively modern hotel. The leisure facilities were state of the art and well maintained.
One member of staff stood out for us - the concierge named Kari, who was very attentive with an issue we had with another company.

“ Top Tip: Jersey City has a fair amount to offer:-
Liberty State Park with a fantastic boardwalk and ferries to Ellis and the Statue.
Fantastic waterfront walks
Good shopping areas
best restaurant for us - La Conguita Grove Street - informal Cuban food & value for money
and, of course, there's that other great city across the Hudson.

“ The hotel was fabulous, we were given a room on the 8th floor, with spectacular views of Manhatten, we mentioned it was a special anniversary, and we were given a bottle of Champagne with our dinner and a wonderful table.
The hotel staff were all very polite, and they arranged a very nice car to take us to Newark airport.

“ Top Tip: We had the best views of Manhatten from the resort of Jersey City, we took a water boat over to Manhatten, it took about 5 minutes, so we had the views without the noise, and hustle and bustle of New York, we will certainly use this hotel again.
