Top Downtown Jersey City Hotel Reviews

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place !"

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"The lounge, bar and patio are bright, cheery and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and was helpful even before arrival (responded to texts promptly). Good security. I think solo travellers would feel pretty safe. The location is very convenient for transit, tour busses, and easy walks to sights. It is also right in the thick of things so keep in mind the hotel can't control what is outside. They do provide a calm atmosphere inside."

Arlo Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a king room, city view. Not a big room but big enough,we were only in it for sleeping. Bed was really comfy, room cleaned every day. Staff very friendly. Hotel in a perfect position for exploring. Had breakfast in hotel once and it was fine. If I visit New York again I would def return."

Motto By Hilton New York City Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente hotel. Llegamos por referencias de internet y confirmamos que es una muy buena opcion para visitar NY. Es un hotel muy ordenado y limpio. La habitacion es pequeña para los estandares que unos esta acostumbrado pero funciona perfecto, comoda, bonita decoración y práctica. Para 2 personas es perfecta."
