“Comfy, convenient and classy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Stayed here 3 nights for a wedding, two weeks before Hurricane Sandy. Even though our king-size "cozy room" did seem small, it was really comfortable and we felt fancy! The modern style of the hotel/rooms is nice, playful, and plush-y, not sleek and cold.
BEST FEATURE: LOCATION! It was an easy walk to Washington, the main strip of Hoboken, to find stores and restaurants, and an easy walk to the Hoboken PATH station to get into the city. Also loved strolling along the river walk- nice place to hang out and take pics in front of the Manhattan skyline. We did not rent a car.
BATHROOM: I loved, loved, loved the shower: nice-sized walk-in (no tub), mini-tiles on the floor/wall, mirror in the shower!, wide shelf that was part of the tiled wall, glass door, and good heat/pressure. However, the lighting was kinda low (and sexy?) in the bathroom and in the room overall.
"COZY ROOM": The huge picture window was beautiful and the solid window blind worked well to block the morning light if you want to sleep in. Though there wasn't an overhead room light, the backlighting on the headboard was pretty and bright enough most of the time.
BONUS: There's a DVD player and you can borrow movies for free! I also liked the fun, glowing, color-changing plastic thing that held the for-purchase snacks & other stuff, but don't worry- you can turn it off. Random happiness: the floor mats in the elevators are changed out throughout the day to wish you a good morning, good afternoon, or good eevning! hee hee
LOBBY: I also really liked the comfy lounge area in the lobby with free coffee and tea in the morning. It's a bar at night but not like a roped-off place, just a casual place to get a drink, sit on couches and hang out. We watched the Yankees game on tv there!
"WOW SUITE": We also got to hang out in one of the suites w/our friends-- OMG it was gorgeous! Awesome view (balcony), lots of space to hang out in the living room/parlor/whatever, cool glowing jellyfish art sculpture in the middle of the room, extra bathroom for guests, kitchenette. Loved it! So jealous. Wanted to move there permanently. (By the way, there are residences on the property so it's totally possible!)

“Lovely luxury”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Just what we had wanted. Valet parking was a must simply because there was no other parking option. A charming place. We honeymooned here before cruising out. It was an easy access location with two restaurants on site and many more in the area .

Room Tip: The river view was totally worth it.

“Hope this hotel survives the devastating storm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

Have stayed at this hotel a few times and highly recommend it. Fabulous view of Manhatten skyline day or night! Water taxi right outside the door of the hotel, shuttle service to main terminal for water taxis, then buses into NYC. Hotel room large, clean, with sofa and kitchenette. The beds are luxurious which makes for a good nights sleep after a long day in NYC. Quiet setting next to the Hudson River.We flew into Newark airport which was so accessible to the hotel.

Room Tip: Request room with view of Hudson River and Manhatten skyline.

“Incredible Hotel with an Incredible View”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

My husband and I had a WONDERFUL experience at the W Hotel last weekend. We planned the trip in order to see Alex Cuba and his band play at Maxwell's as well as visiting some friends. We had not been to Hoboken before and we were pleasantly surprised. The welcome at check in could not have been warmer. Our room was gorgeous with the view of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River. The bed was comfortable and we felt at home right away! The housekeeping staff should be commended on the super job that they do. Our room was clean and well maintained. The whole property was just beautiful! The decor is distinctly modern and complemented the surrounding area.I especially liked how quiet the rooms were. We could have been in the hotel alone...I did not hear any noise all night! The concierge was so helpful in arranging our circle tour around Manhattan. It was a spectacular way to see the city. The check out process also went smoothly. The front desk staff is professional and very friendly!
Thanks to the tremendous staff at the W Hotel, our trip was a total success! We enjoyed drinks at the bar, but my husband and I both agreed that you might want to reconsider the music played during the evening. Dance music is for discos. We would have liked to hear some nice sophisticated jazz to complement the modern decor and city atmosphere as well as to make conversation easier. Our dinner at Zylo was delectable! Hoboken has been transformed into a bustling little city with great restaurants and shops. A pedestrian/bikeway is located right next to the river with playgrounds and skateboard parks. Benches make walking and sightseeing a pleasure. Ferries can transport you to Manhattan within minutes. We loved it and hope to return to the W and Hoboken soon!

Room Tip: Try to land a corner room on the highest floor. The views are tremendous!

“Nice, upscale business hotel - convenient to mass transit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

I've stayed a few times recently at the W Hotel in Hoboken. It's only a couple of blocks from the Hoboken train station, which gets you access to NYC via ferry and the PATH train, as well as points in NJ via PATH and light rail.

Rooms: quiet, beautiful views of Manhattan, comfortable bedding, very nice oversized sitting settee in the window alcove, good amenities.

Facility: ample workout equipment (never too crowded), very good restaurant (Zylo) with good choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, comfortable lounge area with free wi-fi, very helpful staff.

Being a W across the river from Manhattan, it's not cheap, but if you're on business travel or want to splurge on a very nice hotel with good views/access to the City (at less than NYC prices), you won't find better on the NJ side of the Hudson.

Room Tip: If you care, the views are either to lower Manhattan or mid-town, so ask before you book.
