Reasonably priced alternative to Manhattan

Favorable alternative a night in Manhattan. With the hourly bus number 129 in 20 to 40 minutes ( depending on the traffic). In Manhattan Midtown ( PABT = Port Authority bus stop) - blue metro-line. Price 3.20 $-not with the Metrocarte of New York usable. Tickets in the PABT or in the bus. Last bus at 23:30 o'clock. The hotel has its best years behind it, is however still in a reasonable condition and the price worth. The pool in the open is only in the summer months open (not in September). The restaurant was at the weekend ... closed (basic food at the bar). Coffee at a charge at the bar. Breakfast and food-better in New York From the bus station in 5 minutes on foot to the hotel. read more

Gate to Manhattan and affordable

  • August 2012
The hotel is in New Jersey and is circa 10 Wednesday From Manhattan away. That is the big advantage. As platinum Member am here fully at my expense. Parking, Wi-Fi free of charge, larger room with a view of Manhattan and friendly Frucktkorb with drinks and personal note. To to Manhattan to come, you take the bus. This drives on the main street, approximately 3 minutes from the hotel and last stop is the bus station directly next to the Times Square. Cost 3,60 §Us/drive. The hotel has a Timetable. This one should get, because the bus goes not ... often, otherwise waits one for almost 1 hour to the next comes. ( did for me). There were a lot of asian guests in the hotel on the way, usually all tourists. The breakfast -restaurant is buffet and unfortunately crowded and therefore the dishes very messy. Taste is normal, nothing special. Nevertheless, the hotel is good location and inexpensive for New York. The bus ride is OK and goes through the Lincoln Tunnel. read more

    We had the excecutive floor. The rooms were large and clean. Even with safe! Also the grandiose view of Manhattan. Everything you could need including iron and board, hair dryer, small coffee maker etc. Small deduction due to the "Abgewohntheit".

    The hotel also offers a free shuttle (return) from the nearest station (to/from Newark Liberty International Airport! ) --> positive! We arrived at about 11 :30 AM (after a 8 hours flight! ) and had to wait on our room until about 2 :30pm. A little too tiring despite Starbucks coffee! We doubt that all rooms were booked --> negative!

    The hotel is located in New Jersey in an industrial estate and outlet district. We didn't try the outlets - looked but sometimes a bit old and deserted. The direct area was rather you. The bus service to Manhattan is cheap and good. The bus stops a few meters from the hotel - no rush hour about 20 minutes to Penn Station NYC. Very frequent. Timetable there were at the hotel.

We can confirm the experiences of the previous reviews. The hotel is as a place to stay for a New York-trip very suitable. The connections with the bus 129 to the New York bus terminal (42nd Street)is very good and the station is only 3 min. from the hotel. The hotel rooms were clean and large. It was not a problem, but when we asked for a room with skyline view. The service in the hotel was of information and tips at the front desk, to the room service always friendly and courteous. The value for money in the bar ... and the hotel breakfast (only once used) did not live up to our expectations. Highly recommended for shopping is the Jersey Gardens outlet mall with many brand stores there were. read more

    Hotel is located on the Meadowsland sports complex in Secauscus, just behind the hotel is a large lake/river and the NJ Turnpike (didn't bother us not) there are rooms both with city view (on New York City) as well as on the hinterland. Directly in front of the hotel there was a bank, Likörshop and a bus stop which will take you within 20-30 minutes on the TimeSquare (Linie129). I recommend the express bus services (129x), as they were not constantly. At the bus station in New York 10 minute walk from Times Square, go for the return trip to the Gate 318 (bus there and back cost 6,40$) ... We have used this daily ...

Great hotel in a great location if you want to miss the over-priced hotels in Manhattan. We are traveling with our 6 year old son and would thoroughly recommend it. The hotel is located in Secaucus district of New Jersey. You can eat breakfast there, that was too expensive with around 12 dollars per person. We always something for close Liquor Store in/out privileges. This also has a Frischhalte bar where you can buy fresh sandwhiches. The rooms are large (2 double beds) and clean. read more

Children under 5 stay for the bus nothing. Next to the bus-stop saying Liquor Store for drinks, cereal, milk etc. and even buy sandwhiches.

We loved it we such a great hotel for a great price on New Year's Eve. Then one has to add the we a room on the top floor with a view of the skyline. We stayed only to sleep and wash in hotel rooms, but we felt great cared for. Easy access to the Newyorker city with the bus stops directly in front of the hotel, the very good and about an hour to plan for (as he many stops driving directions and then the Mega traffic which was nearly always available). The hotel is located in top condition ... with a private garage right next door and free to use. Located on all floors you find as usual in America, Eiswürfelmaschinen vending machines. We will definitely go back there again. (o) read more

This hotel had based vorhergegangener Kundenrezessionen directly through the internet and were very happy in sum. The hotel is located in a quiet side street of the Secaucus's main street. About 200 meters away from the Bushaltestation is it then more about 25 minutes by bus to the in the center Manhattan's the bus station "Port Authority". The bus service worked after New York and back excellent and is straightforward. Around the hotel there is no infrastructure (shopping, dining, etc. ), which is easy to reach by walking distance (for which the car required). A small shopping center in the ... immediate proximity was closed and the more 3 tram stations away "outlet shopping" was more than disappointing. Our room which was very clean, was in viewing Manhattan. Especially after dark was the Panorama incredible good. The front desk staff was helpful at all times and courteous. Inquired about service charge were immediately to our satisfaction, annoying that is only for W-LAN US$ 9.95 per day was an additional charge (a service already the many hotels offer free). Since we were already at breakfast, and New York returned late after dinner, can about further services (restaurant, spa, etc. ) No rating and impressions. read more
