Espectacular todo!!!
Pros:

La ubicacion es espectacular, muy cerca de un tranvia en el que podes conocer jerseycity, como tambien dirigirte a las estaciones de path, es seguro, cerca de un espacio con linda vista al puerto y cerca de merkets. Las intalaciones fueron impecables, todo ordenado, limpio y excelente. Me volveria sin dudar a hospedar aqui. El personal fue muy amable.

Cons:

Lo unico que no habia, era personal de recepcion que hablen español, pero era un mega extra si lo habia. Igualmente nada que no se pueda solucionar con la amabilidad que tuvieron y un traslate. Me volveria a hospedar en este lugar

Fair stay!
Pros:

Overall, I had a good stay at Sonesta Simply Suites Jersey City. One of the hotel’s biggest advantages is its fully equipped kitchenette, including a microwave, oven, stovetop, and refrigerator. This is a rare and valuable feature, especially in Jersey City and the New York area, making it an excellent choice for longer stays or travelers who prefer preparing their own meals.

The main downside was the condition of my room. The sink leaked underneath, causing water to accumulate beneath the carpet, which unfortunately resulted in an unpleasant odor throughout the room. I hope the hotel addresses this issue promptly, as it affected the overall comfort of my stay.

Housekeeping is not provided daily and is only available upon request. However, the front desk staff are happy to provide additional amenities whenever needed, including extra towels, toiletries, vanity kits, toothbrushes, salt, and other essentials.

The security deposit is $50 per night, which is worth noting before arrival.

In terms of location, the hotel is approximately a 10–12 minute walk to Exchange Place PATH Station and only 2–3 minutes from the nearby light rail station. From Exchange Place, you can reach the World Trade Center, and from there continue to Times Square. Depending on your connections, the journey to Midtown Manhattan typically takes 50 minutes to one hour using public transportation.

If you don’t mind relying on public transport, this hotel offers good value and can be a practical option for staying in Jersey City. However, if your primary goal is to spend most of your time in Manhattan, keep in mind that the hotel is quite far from central New York City, and Uber rides can become expensive.

Another point to consider is that nearby coffee shops are generally more than a 15-minute walk away, and due to ongoing construction in the area, reaching the nearest grocery stores requires about a 12-minute walk.

Good clean suite - a stones throw from the path line and the ferry to manhattan
Pros:

Great location lovely suite room - basic but clean and large with a kitchen that was equipped

Cons:

The entrance does not reflect the nice rooms - it’s a bit like going into student accommodation
