I went to NY with my best friend to celebrate our birthdays. We wanted something close without breaking the bank. We stayed here through the recommendation of a holiday inn manager. The hotel was very easy to get to (minus the hour worth of traffic) once you get to all the exchanges in/out of NJ/NYC. The hotel was within a... more

This hotel was worth more than what we paid for it. The room was extremely clean. We had a very big window with a nice view. The shower pressure was excellent and tub very spacious. The room's internet service worked very well which we used to research what we would do the next day in New York. There was a... more

LOCATION/PARKING: The Candlewood Suites Jersey City is located one block away from the Hudson River in a residential high-rise/financial district. This area of town is growing and being renovated, with Trump adding a tower nearby and older buildings undergoing big changes, this area is clearly moving up. The hotel is only a few blocks walking distance from the Exchange Place... more

We stayed at the Candlewood Suites in Jersey City for 5 days in early December. Our reasons for chosing this property were the price (half of what hotels in Manhattan charge) and the location (closest to Newark Intl. Airport and its just across the river from Manhattan). The staff was friendly but not very savy on New York sightseeing, directions,... more

We had tickets to see Moscow Cat Theatre in NYC on a December Saturday. We've stayed in Manhattan in 2002 and 2006, but rates were insane and unaffordable when we tried to book a room for the weekend. We were very happy to find Candlewood Suites in Jersey City, and didn't mind the short walks to get to PATH. If... more

After a very long delayed flight into La Guardia, my family and I finally made it to the train stop near the hotel. I called the front desk to get directions to the hotel, only 4 blocks away. We were given good directions and made it to the hotel in just minutes. We checked into a nice room and relaxed.... more

This hotel is one of the most terrible hotel i stayed in. Hotel staff was not friendly at all. I stayed in room number 416 and bathroom tub did not drain. When i came back to hotel in evening after spending long day in NYC. I found that bath tub has drainage block problem and there was no way i... more

Really a very basic property. A/C is noisy when it does work (thermostat had issues, goofy energy-savings system often shuts off the a/c because it thinks you are not in the room, etc.) Free internet is slow (500bps!) Front desk staff that isn't really all that responsive... ("Oh, your A/C is broken? Please check back at 9am tomorrow when the... more

I feel the need to update the review I gave this hotel Feb. 11, 2006 in which I stated their mattresses were way too firm for side sleepers. The new mattresses and bedding are ever so much better!! It was a very wise investment on their part and will keep us coming back in spite of having to change rooms... more
