Search hotels in Jersey City, NJ

We were traveling from central PA to visit the Statue of Liberty and didn't want to make the trip in one day, so we decided to get lodging the night prior to our day trip. We debated on whether to stay in New Jersey or New York. We searched for rooms and this motel in Jersey City seemed like a good choice. It was perfect. We walked to a coffee shop in Jersey City and felt quite safe. We passed many solo joggers, mothers with small children and bicyclists. The part of the city we were in was very clean. We were pleasantly surprised.

Lack of parking was very frustrating. We drove around for literally an hour looking for a place to park on a Sunday. Lots everywhere were empty but there were no attendants or it was just places that you were not allowed to park like weekend closed business, even though there was plenty of parking available in their lot. And then to be out on the street where there is zero parking available it was unbelievably frustrating. We cut our trip short and left at 6:00 in the morning because I was afraid of my car getting towed on Monday morning. Street signs were vague and all of them had limited days as well as limited hours that you could park on those days and none of them without a parking permit. Nothing would bring me back to Jersey City. Nothing.

We loved strolling around Hamilton Park and the old city neighbourhood. We loved the view back to Manhattan. We loved being able to access NYC and Hoboken easily. We loved the contrast of NYC and Jersey City.

Getting around was good. I had business to do back in Manhattan area and to also see family in Canarsie area and the traveling by car back and forth was good. We got some beef patties from Amazing Flavors which were awesome. We ate at the Chinese restaurant as you come off of Roosevelt from the place we stayed we made a right at the corner were the markets and all were and I believe the restaurant was named China Garden, they were fast and delicious. All places to shop for groceries and to order food was about 800feet from where we stayed. Jersey City we will be back!!! 💫

Being by the harbour side in JC is so relaxing with the best views of Manhattan. Liberty park is close by and there are some excellent places to eat. You could easily stay here and quickly and cheaply get in to NY via the PATH

I found Jersey City to be a very nice area. I walked everywhere and was very safe. There are people everywhere, and I only encountered one man who was having a drug-fueled psychotic episode on the street. So, in comparison to most of Manhattan, JC was very sweet.
