Jersey City good alternative to MT?
We are planning a 1 week trip to NYC next spring. We can get a great
deal on a hotel in Jersey City. Would this be a good alternative to staying in Mid Town? Any comments on safety of JC and transit difficulties would be appreciated. |

We drove North Bergen one time. The motels listed below were pretty respectable looking.

Indeed, I think it is only fair to point out to those who have not visited New York City how tiring touring it can be. You are using public transportation, not cruising about in a comfortable car (unless you are crazy and think you can do that in NYC). One may well want to return to one's hotel room for a rest/nap to regain one's steam. New York City is best experienced in frequent doses, with time out for recouping energy in between. So it is an entirely different experience to stay in the city and be a commuter. |
