Accomodation New York

We are looking to stay in New Jesey because it seems a bit cheaper, is this a good idea, or is it expensive to travel across to New York each day.

How much of a hassle will it be to stay out of new York and get the ferry across?

Hi Terry, personally, I would rather skimp on the hotel and stay in NY, but this is a choice you are making. If you don%26#39;t plan on staying out late, then should be okay.

Your commute depends on where you are staying in NJ. A few cities are serviced by the PATH trains, which are the most convenient since they are like subways and run all night. See

This is the other rail / bus option

Note NJ Transit services end roughly midnight or so.

Here is the ferry info

Accomodation New York

If you stay in Manhattan, it%26#39;s easy to stop back at the hotel during the day to change, rest, drop off packages, etc.

Personally, I%26#39;d rather stay at the YMCA than commute back and forth.

I think you will miss out on the feel of the city if you do not stay in the city. Expense comes in both dollars and time to get back and forth, as well as satisfying the reason you decided to visit New York in the first place.

the skyline hotel is a budget place with not too many poor reviews; you may want to check their prices. i live near there and it seems pretty clean, and i know it is convenient to a lot, easy walking distance to times square if you are young.

some say it%26#39;s ';cheaper'; but you miss out on the total NYC experience

before I moved to NJ, I%26#39;d always stay in Manhattan

I would wait til I could afford to stay in the city. NJ is NOT the same experience and the commute is a pain.

The Vanderbilt Y has very decent rooms at great prices in a super location.
