“NYC-JC Review”

Was great! the View was awesome from 44th floor, spacious as advertised, Staff was super nice. Will stay there next time!

“Serviced apartment vs hotel??”

As a serviced apt, NOT a hotel, our studio apt was immaculate on our arrival, but there was no daily maid service included (as we expected, so no surprise to us). If you want the advantage of a full kitchen to use, &/or your own laundry facility, then this is a good option & very close to the Jersey City waterfront & lightrail transport. However, the bed was not very comfortable & very "squeaky", so neither of us slept well - & we switched to sleeping separately (using the spare twin bed) for this reason. Also the clothes dryer did not work, so had to hang clothes in bathroom to dry over a couple of days. The parquetry tiled floor was very noisy with creaks++, so getting up at night always woke the other person too. The lifts in the building also malfunctioned one day, leaving only 2 of the 4 lifts working, & causing long delays with queues out to the front door waiting to ascend. Garage parking expensive. No front desk service included, beyond holding keys for pickup on arrival. Wi-fi in room worked well, but no in-room telephone provided.

“Not A Hotel”

I travel to NYC often and usually stay in Jersey City. I will never stay here again. You are basically renting an un-sold condo. Maybe that would've been ok had I known that going into it. Very cold feeling, information was hard to find.

“Takes some getting used to”

This is primarily an apartment/condo property, so if you go in expecting the same kind of service or amenities you'd get at a hotel in the same price range, you'll be very surprised. The "concierge" is really more like a building super, more used to helping long-term residents with mail and maintenance issues than with bookings and keys. There also seem to be some rough spots in communication between the people on-site and those who do the hotel bookings (several blocks away). For example, I originally received a key to the wrong room. This was quickly resolved and not a problem for me, but it does raise some concerns. On the plus side, the fact that these are units designed for long-term occupancy does mean that they're fully equipped. Overall, the rooms are very nice - the appliances in the fool kitchen were better than I have at home - and you can't beat the location if you're visiting one of the local companies. Just be aware that you're basically borrowing a (nice) apartment, not a normal hotel room.
