Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson
Situated directly on the Hudson River, this hotel has fabulous views of Manhattan. And it's practically right beside the Exchange Place PATH station, making trips into Manhattan a breeze. The Hyatt is easily Jersey City's nicest hotel.
Many budget-minded New York City tourists decide to stay in moderately-priced Jersey City hotels because of its proximity to Manhattan. Hotels along or near the waterfront are quite safe and very well-appointed. Avoid the strip of motels along US 1-9 Tonnelle Avenue north of Journal Square. The area is industrial, unsafe, and is a haven for prostitution and other illicit activities.
