Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Jersey City
For most travelers, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is the superior choice; as the only airport located in New Jersey, it provides the most direct and efficient access to Jersey City. It handles both domestic and international flights and offers excellent rail connectivity via the AirTrain and NJ Transit. In contrast, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) are located in New York and involve complex cross-border transit, often requiring multiple transfers between regional systems. Westchester County Airport (HPN) serves the northern suburbs and is best suited for regional travelers looking to avoid NYC congestion. Finally, Bradley International Airport (BDL) is a distant regional hub in Connecticut, only recommended if flights are significantly cheaper. Generally, prioritizing EWR will save you considerable time and frustration, while public transit remains the most cost-effective option if you are traveling light. Always book private cars in advance for predictable pricing.

Quite nice hotel in Jersey town. The breakfast was just okay.
The worst part was the refunding of deposit ($250). The manager said that it would take 30 working days to refund the deposit? Why do they want to hold my deposit for that long?FromUS$160

This hotel is highly recommended. First, we arrived in the morning and were given early check-in. Second, the hotel rooms are exceptionally large, and there's even a lobby with two TVs, which is very convenient for dining and storing luggage. Transportation is also very convenient; it's an 8-minute walk to the PATH train station. Jersey City seems much safer than New York City.FromUS$248

The overall hotel experience was acceptable. The location is convenient, transportation is decent, and getting around is reasonably easy. The check-in process was smooth, with decent front desk service and a reasonable processing speed. The room was a good size and equipped with basic amenities, meeting most daily needs. Sanitary conditions were generally acceptable, with no significant issues, and the bedding was clean and tidy. The air conditioning and hot water functioned normally, without any major malfunctions. The soundproofing was average, and noise from the hallway or neighboring rooms could be heard occasionally. The breakfast was average; the selection wasn't extensive, but it was filling. Overall, the stay was a pleasant one, with no particular strengths or weaknesses. It's suitable for travelers with modest accommodation requirements.FromUS$198

Very comfortable and spacious room with a view of the Hudson River, directly facing Manhattan's charming city skyline. The PATH station is right outside the hotel, and it's just one stop to the World Trade Center. Much better value for money than staying in Manhattan. I'd definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit New York.FromUS$449

Its proximity to the Holland Tunnel and the six nearby gas stations makes it very convenient for drivers. It's a 10-15 minute walk to either Newport or Hoboken station, both offering PATH train services to Manhattan. There's a Target store close by, and the hotel's breakfast is simple but decent. Rooms are kept clean, and coin-operated communal washers and dryers are available; just remember to bring your own detergent, as laundry facilities can get busy after dinner and during breakfast. Whenever we had issues, the hotel staff were responsive and actively resolved them. Overall, for our two-week trip to New York, it offered great value for money.FromUS$230

Clean and nicely decorated room. Walkable distance to Path station. Area feels safe and hotel has a security on guard throughout the night.
The only downside is my room is close to the street car station and the ringing can be a bit disturbing for light sleepers.FromUS$209

Jersey City|3.92km from city center
It is very convenient because it is close to the subway station. However, I still didn't understand the path until the end, and I had to ask for help from kind people every time.
The man who checked in was very polite, but the lady who took the luggage when I checked out was very rude... Because the luggage was stored on the first floor, and there was no service staff on the first floor, when we went up to the top floor to find the service staff, the service staff came downstairs with anger to help us get the luggage. The work interrupted her conversation time, which was very unfriendly.
There is breakfast, but it is limited to breakfast. You can't ask for too much at this price.FromUS$349

Downtown Jersey City Jersey City|3.25km from city center
There is a kitchen for cooking, with two electric stoves, the one against the wall has a stronger firepower, and the location is good, just on the other side of Manhattan, and it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the Hudson River. It seems that there are many Chinese students living in this area. There is a path subway downstairs, which is very convenient to go to the World Trade Center and Midtown Manhattan. There is a supermarket downstairs, and there is a monkey father and son within a ten-minute walk. The overall price is cheaper than that in Manhattan. For example, the buffet in Manhattan is $13.99 per pound, and this one is $11.99 per pound. There is a Chinese restaurant called Da Sichuan more than 200 meters away, which is moderately priced, tastes good, and has large portions.FromUS$263
