If this were my first time in NYC this may not have been the most intuitive place to stay, but I used to live in the Heights (this area of Jersey City) a few blocks away and this was an excellent trip down memory lane. Clean, quiet, nice natural sunlight. We were only there on a Sunday/holiday so didn't have to deal with getting a parking pass (though having done it as a resident it's less than ideal and they do really ticket you, so it's important you do it.)
