Candlewood Suites - Jersey City Jersey City

Adverts and ratings made this hotel sound great - and in a few aspects it is: it's location, room size, kitchen units, and value (for being close to Manhattan). However, we had some problems with our stay with makes recommending this hotel impossible. The shower was not functional - either scalding hot or chilling cold - which would you prefer? because […] in our room, there was only those 2 to choose from. Also part of the hotel is under construction - they shut off the water for most of the day. Would have been nice to know about that before we pre-paid for the room. The sofa bed is about as uncomfortable as sleeping on the floor. Actually the floor would have been better. This hotel lacks some perks you may expect - like a continental breakfast, or even having a printer available for guests to print out something like a boarding pass. The front desk is mostly unhelpful. One guy in particular needs a new job. Management was nowhere to be found - so complaints are like talking to the wall. When we left they offered us some worthless "points" for our trouble. Wow - maybe we can get a free cup of coffee for trading those in! If you want an adventure - try the shower in room 528...

There was no notice that they're in the middle of a refurbish. The water was turned off on two days for several hours each day. The elevators and corridors were covered in plastic. Rates of course were unchanged.

Our room seemed practically brand new. Service was fine. Staff was very amicable. There are renovations taking place but are not an inconvenience. I WILL be staying there again.

Loved it! Great location, beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Close to Path train station. Would definitely stay here again!

I was very impressed with this hotel. The staff was very helpful and nice. The room was amazing, and my significant other and I enjoyed all the amentites. Right after we left we talked about planning to stay here the next time we are in the tri -state area. I would highly recommend. Despite not having free continental breakfast, they impressively exceeded […] our expectations. I cannot wait to go back! The price is definitely worth it. Continua a leggere

Whenever I stay in Jersey City, I stay here. There aren't a lot of options and it is affordable and the service is always top notch. The hotel needs updating. It's walkable to restaurants and bars, but kind of a long walk. They have a handy honor "store" where you can grab a soda, a yogurt or granola bar when you get your free coffee. It has free parking, […] which is a plus too. Continua a leggere

The room was very spacious and clean with a kitchen. I would recommend the hotel if only they have hot water. The shower was not hot enough and we felt so cold. Could be OK in summer but never so in a snowy winter.

fine location with great views of manhattan a short distance away and within walking distance (just) of Liberty ferry. unfortunately little literature on nearby facilities inc. supermarket and restaurants. likewise little information re. travel options esp shutdown of nearby ferries at weekends. certainly cheaper than manhattan hotels but perhaps not […] best place to be if you are flying to/from JFK (Newark fine), Continua a leggere

Outdated, dirty, rudimentary and depressing. Way overpriced for what you get. Everything from the floors, the bathrooms, the furnishings to the coffee was poor. Satellite was out on the TV. The front desk person didn't know how to process my Hotels.com payment and therefore couldn't tell me what Hotels.com was charging me. Beware if you try to take […] a cab to Newark from this hotel: the cabbies will not allow you to share the fare with another guest who is also going to EWR. Completely ridiculous racket.

We needed this room last minute because our power was out. The only negatives were that the temperature of the room was hard to regulate. Either too cold or too hot. Also, there wasn't alot of channels available on the tv. Other than that it was clean.

I was REALLY, REALLY lucky to have found this hotel. It was on the waterfront in Jersey City and only 10 - 15 minutes from 46th St and Broadway by car. The 24 hr shop is a great convenience and the suite was fully stocked with a kitchenette (pots, pans, etc), table, coffee maker, stove, etc. There is no restaurant in the hotel but restaurants are within […] the area. I would definitely go back to the Candlewood Suites in Jersey City. Continua a leggere

Candle wood suite in jersey city is close to all the public transportation, grocery store, malls and restaurants. The first room given to us was alright except when i slept on the sofa bed i thought bugs were biting me and i asked them to change to some other room which they did. Staff was very friendly. I had parked my car in the parking lot and somebody […] broke into my car and stole my GPS and ipod. Hotel said they are not responsible for their own parking lot. I was so surprise that the location was really good and then also such a thing happened which made me really very upset. Continua a leggere

we got there around 4 and our room wasn't ready but they gave us free drinks and chips to make up for it room great when we got to it and Chili's on the corner was a great dinner

The hotel is in a great location, only 1 stop away from Wall St on the Path train, and only 5 minutes walk to the nearest Path stop. The views of Manhattan from the harbor front were magnificent. The hotel itself was fine - comfortable bed, full-sized kitchen and bathroom. The room was clean. Overall, a great place to stay around NYC.

I got this hotel room for my 74 year old mother. She was very satisfied. The kitchen is close to the sleeping quarters and it is pretty simple. However the room was very neat and clean and unbelievably her room had a view of the Empire State Bldg. You are steps from the light rail and Path (Exchange Place and Newport) and Ferries to Manhattan. There […] seemed to be a large number of long term guests (contractors, relocations, etc...) Rooms were quiet. No bar or restaurant. Continua a leggere

The hotel was clean, roomy, and reasonably priced. Parking was actually free, and it's located blocks away from the short train ride over to NYC. I had an excellent view of the city skyline from my room.

The hotel had a good rate so I decided to stay there but that was a mistake. They only had, or so they claimed, a smoking room available even though my reservation did not specify as such. They offer a shuttle to the train station which is nice, but the driver refused to lift a finger to assist in any of our baggage. In fact stood by and asked us to […] load the bag into the van . Overall, it was a subpar experience and we will not stay there or at any Candlewood hotel again. Continua a leggere

This was a fine hotel for two families with teenagers who had come to the NYC area to sightsee, including Ellis Island and Liberty Island, Times Square, Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, etc. The PATH subway under the Hudson River to the World Trade Center was pretty convenient from the hotel. It was great not to have to pay extra for overnight parking. The […] room setup was helpful to socializing with 4 or more people, with the desk chair, side chairs, large counter space, etc. The front desk staff was consistently patient and helpful and the "honor system" store in the lobby was a good plus. Note that this hotel orients itself toward extended stays, so they don't clean rooms or make beds every day, but you can get extra/fresh towels at the front desk. Continua a leggere

I will definately stay there on my next trip. The staff was very professional and nice. The room was really nice & home like. The appliances were VERY clean and useful. The location is EXCELLENT. Not far from EVERYTHING.

We loved the studio room we had--it was clean and spacious. Very convenient to PATH trains into NYC. Staff were very friendly. Enjoyed the work-out room. Great place to stay when visiting NY!

Would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Jersey City. The rooms were clean, the food pantry near the lobby was very handy and everyone who assisted us had superb customer service. As we were checking out, we asked if they had stamps we could purchase to send a postcard. They didn't, but the employee said the post office was on his way home and […] offered to send it for us! The only downside is if you are traveling to NYC, plan an hour for transit time via PATH and Metro. And they don't have a business center at the hotel. Continua a leggere

Hotel was very clean and had all the amenities you would need. Less than a 10 min walk to the train that brings you into NYC. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Free laundry and parking. Having a kitchenette with a full size fridge in your room is great. We stayed on the weekend and it seemed to be a very quiet neighbourhood. A lot nicer than most […] 3 stars!!! Continua a leggere

The hotel location was extremely conenient to me as I was going everyday to Manhatten. Path is within 3 min. walk and it took me right at the world trade center in 5 minutes where i was able to easily connect to go anywhere in the city. Room was v clean. Staff were very freindly as well. Overall I loved the stay overthere, I will use it again and I […] recommend it to anyone. Continua a leggere

A great place, very confortable, quite and real short way to take the subway PATH to go to Manatthan.

This was a last minute trip to the Statue of Liberty. That was the main reason I chose this hotel. Hotel was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a lite rail station 1/2 block from hotel, that ran to Liberty State Park. From there, a bus picks you up and takes you to the ferry station. Entire run took less than 25 minutes and cost less […] than $6 per person, round trip. Also a PATH station less than 3 blocks away that runs to financial district. Hotel was difficult to find initially. Make sure you have good maps. Continua a leggere

My husband accidently booked two hotels for the same date through hotels.com. He immediately realized his mistake. When he contacted hotels.com they called the manager of Candlewood Suites in Jersey City to see if we could get one of the reservations changed to the next weekend. The manager refused even though hotels.com was happy to help us. This gave […] us a sour taste in our mouth about the Candlewood Suites. Continua a leggere

My daughter and I enjoyed staying here while visiting with my son over Thanksgiving. The "suite" made it very nice for being together before and after events without feeling like you are in somebody's bedroom. The kitchen was nicely equipped and we took advantage of the "Shop" in the lobby. It is definitely on our repeat list.

I usually stay in Manhattan when in NY, but the conference was in Jersey City so I decided to stay across the Hudson. What a fantastic view of NY from the Jersey side. Candlewood was walking distance from the conference. Very comfortable bed, nice little kitchen and very quiet. Not many amenities as you have to get food elsewhere, but having a fridge […] and microwave is great. Decent workout room, several cardio machines and one weight machine. Not crowded. The Exchange Place PATH station is 600 yards away and from there you can be at the WTC in 5 minutes or the theater district in 15. Lots of new buildings and development in Jersey since 9/11. Never felt unsafe. The strangest nearby building has to be the old power station which has been abandoned for years and is scheduled for renovation. Very out of place next to the Trump condos. It looks like they could have filmed "Enemy at the Gates" there. All in all, a good 3-day stay. I would stay there again, particularly as it is 30% cheaper than anything in Manhattan.

great location 5 minute walk to Path train,great view of the skyline from the river.

We have stayed here several times before due to its location (close to PATH, safer section of Jersey City). One small problem was the person who stayed in our room previously smoked. We talked to the front desk and they were very sorry about the inconvenience but there were no other rooms available. They did ionize our room the following day. We would […] definitely stay here again because they were so understanding and accommodating to the circumstances. Continua a leggere

Would highly recommend this hotel to people who want to stay at an affordable hotel near Manhattan, however, must be willing to tolerate the easy 10 minute walk to the PATH train into Manhattan (takes maybe 20 minutes on PATH to Midtown Manhattan and 10 on PATH to World Trade Center). The staff were very friendly and helpful.

A comfortable place to stay in a great location.

It is in a great location, just a few minutes walk from two different PATH stations which connect NJ to NY. Our whole plan was to visit NYC, so that was great to be so close. The hotel itself was just okay. It was rather smelly, as everyone there seemed to always be cooking. I also noticed that it was not very clean in the bathrooms - there was hair […] left in the bathtub from a previous customer. We really didn't spend much time in the room, so for the price and location it was okay. If we had to stay there longer I may have considered a slightly pricier hotel. Overall, not the best, but not the worst either. Continua a leggere

The Candlewwod Suites is an excellent extended stay hotel. Great location in Jersey City, minutes from the Path train system making trip to Manahattan in minutes. Newport Mall is within walking distance as well as a full service grocery store. It is also conveniently located to Jersey City Financial district and Exchange Place Path Station takes you […] to the World Trade Center in Manhattan in a matter of minutes. I have stayed here before and will stay there again, I love the hotels convenient central location!!! Continua a leggere

very average at best. good location with access to new york train

Great room, actually like appartment with two rooms and kitchen, two TV's. Very comfortable. Hotel is just 5 minutes walk to Path train station, just one stop before World Trade Center station.Nice location, very quiet hotel, front desk personel very helpful. I would recomend this hotel and I know I will be back.
