My husband took me to Jersey City to celebrate my birthday and we stayed at Hyatt House.
First of all, the location is perfect. Amazing views of NYC, steps from the PATH subway for easy transportation to Hoboken, Newark, World Trade Center, etc. Jersey city itself is very walkable. We spent our first day just walking around downtown, exploring boutiques and food spots.
The hotel itself is neat - it used to be a bank of some sort and they revamped it. There is a lounge and a rooftop bar with sweeping views of the NYC skyline, perfect for a nightcap. There was free breakfast offered as well but we didn’t take advantage and instead opted for brunch about town.
Our room had GREAT amenities. Stove top, microwave, fully stocked with plates utensils cutlery pots pans etc. there is a mini fridge with a separate freezer on top. There is a sitting living room type area with a tv stand separating the space from the bed. The tv swivels so you can watch from the couch or from bed. Spacious shower.
I’m taking off one star for mainly sleep related reasons. The bed is VERY firm to the point where my body hurt in the morning, and if I stayed in any one position too long. I am generally a sound sleeper but the walls and windows are also pretty thin, so I kept getting roused by sounds outside, people leaving other rooms, etc. I did sleep better the second night, but I think the addition of a mattress topper would do wonders, and light sleepers may want to bring ear plugs or a white noise machine.
Overall this place is a gem and we recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
