Booked 5 nights through Hotwire. Took a cab, which came to $50 + tips from Newark. 20 minute bus ride to Manhattan at 10-20 minute intervals from right outside the hotel. Avoid rush hour though. Buses run through 1 AM. Rooms are reasonably sized with a big screen TV and free wi-fi. Bathroom was very small though. No swimming pool... more

It was a first class room with the 42in TV and the separated rooms. The bed was very comfortable and you could see the TV from the bed or living room. The free breakfeast was good, but you are going to want to order breakfeast if you are there for more then a day. For that, I think the embassy... more

Check-in Friday night at 10:30 went smoothly, received tips for my visit to NY. Son was in MLG tournament at the convention center, approximately a 2 minute walk from hotel. My New York visit, rode the 320 bus located in rear of hotel which took us directly into Manhatten, Port Authority ($3.15), about a 10-15 bus ride, nice bus, comfy... more

I had a very comfortable stay at the Hyatt Place. While I did miss having a restaurant and bar in the hotel (they do serve light food and beer/wine), I did like the Hyatt Place more than traditional Hyatts. The room was very large and clean, contained a 42" plasma tv with an in-wall console to connect any electronic device... more

Generally, very good. Large, comfortable rooms and extremely helpful staff. Great base for travelling into Manhattan with a bus stop right outside the hotel ($3.15 each way) and never more than circa 20mins transfer time with brilliant view of Manhattan skyline just before you enter the Lincoln Tunnel. Only issues were that breakfast is served in the hotel lobby and... more

My family and I stayed at the Hyatt Place over the Thanksgiving Holidays and we enjoyed every moment. Location is KEY and this hotel is situated in the perfect place. The surrounding area had enough restaurants and shopping for us to choose from that were either a short walk or a bus ride away. To get into Mahattan was fairly... more

This is fully changed to "Hyatt Place". I booked this hotel as a quick way to sleep overnight - I had to be in manhattan late and back there early in the morning and all the hotels in the city were really waaaaay over my budget. I wasn't expecting much from this place and I was really very surprised!! The... more
