This is a very neat and convenient place to stay if you are planning to visiting both NJ and NY. There are 2 different trains that goes to manhattan both ways 24h and the station is about 10min walking. The train (PATH) takes about 30min to World Trade Center and there is another train (North Corridor) that leaves you in Penn Station NY. Hope this info is helpful for other guest.
The sorroundings feel safe to walk late at night.
