"Would stay again for sure" 6/2/2010 Stayed On: 5/2010

We stayed there last week and I was very surprised by how great the room was and more importantly the service that was provided. The hotel is located just minutes from public transportation and the price was very affordable.

"Great B&B" 6/1/2010 Stayed On: 5/2010

Thank you Raphael and Lonnie - we stayed for 4 nights in May - had the suite which was fantastic and as far as I know the same price as a room. Lovely balcony, rooms, computer, phone etc etc etc Couldn't have been better - nothing too much trouble - they just want you to have a great time! 100% Recommended from Barbara and George

"Check in at Jersey City Bed and Breakfast. You won't be sorry! " 5/4/2010 Stayed On: 4/2010

You know these nondescript hotels where people are friendly but also have a distant so-called 'professional' attitude? This is certainly not the case in Lonnie's Bed and Breakfast in New Jersey. Very close to Path station - where you can catch the train to Manhattan which only takes a few minutes - this place feels like a home away from home. Its keeper Lonnie Sobel is one of the nicest, welcoming host we ever met: on our first day he took us to Path Station for a quick introduction of Jersey City and at night he even drove us to Hoboken for dinner. The room we were in was very clean day after day - thanks to Maja - and had a nice solid bed where we could stretch out after a long day in New York City. Lonnie is quite a character: he travelled around the world and has a lot of fun stories. Whether it is about where to get New York's best thin-crust pizzas or one of his first jobs at Max's Kansas City, Lonnie always has something interesting to tell you. And then there is breakfast: we thought one of the nicest things about this B&B is that all guests are at the same table. The result is an interesting talk every morning with people from all different walks of life. Talking about a fresh start every day! If you plan a trip to NYC, whether it is for one night or more, go to Lonnie's. Take our word for it: you won't be sorry! We rate this B&B a firm five stars.

"from Texas" 4/25/2010 Stayed On: 8/2009

This is a great place to stay clean, convenient. Magnificent service Mr Sobelloni and Rafa are a good team very nice people and down to earth. We love the b&b and hope to be back one day.

"One reason not to stay in a hotel." 3/16/2010 Stayed On: 2/2010

My Sis booked my resevation and I was quite hesitant at first when I heard it was a B&B. My mental picture of B&B is a cheap room with a bunk bed, tiny bathroom with broken showerhead. Grumpy staff that never learned to smile. Well, when I stayed in Jersey City B&B, my mind was blown away. I would rather stay here than a hotel because its so cozy and provides you all the amenities you need and top notch facilities to boot. Whenever you are in NY area, NEVER miss this excellent B&B. Lonnie, the manager is GREAT guy, super nice and very accommodating. it doesnt have dining but its B&B, not B&B&D. Most bang for the buck!

"A lovely week" 2/23/2010 Stayed On: 8/2009

We stayed in this B&B last august for a week, the last week of our holiday in the States. It was extremely clean and comfortable, even in the horrible heat of that week!! We stayed in the suite and LOVED it!! The owner and staff were so nice, the breakfast was excellent and we got all the information and maps and suggestion we needed directly in the B&B. The area is safe, and the house is not far from the station. We enjoyed our stay very much and we recommended this B&B to families and friends. Franca, Giorgio, Nicola (from Italy)

"Enjoyed my stay tremendously!" 2/21/2010 Stayed On: 2/2010

I couldn't have been luckier to have found such a great bed & breakfast! The rooms are clean, cozy and affordable. Staff is amazingly nice. There was an abundance of food for breakfast and all other amenities such as free internet, free phone and free parking just made my stay all that more worth while. And again, the price is right!!, VERY AFFORDABLE! Be sure to check out there website often .... they run $19/night specials which I was fortunate to grab hold of! The house is also close to Journal Square / PATH station (10 minutes walking) which then gets you into downtown Manhattan in 20 minutes via train! Jersey City B&B is a great place to stay and I will definitely return there on my next visit to NJ/NY. I highly recommend the place :)

"Feel so comfortable here. . ." 2/5/2010 Stayed On: 1/2010

It's a home away from home place. Laid back, comfy, clean and very pretty. Raf is not only a cutie, he makes THE BEST breakfasts!!! Karla

"We want to come back" 2/4/2010 Stayed On: 1/2010

The location was excellent...just few blocks from Journal Square. I didn't bring my laptop but it was so nice to have a free computer to use and keep in touch. Very comfortable, modern room. Without a doubt the friendliest, cleanest, best maintained and most professionally run hotel and cheap to boot. Could not recommend this hotel enough.

" “Pleasantly surprised – I will be back!!" 1/27/2010

Stayed On: 1/2010

I had looked into the JC B&B before but didn’t book. I live in NJ and do a lot of work in the Jersey City/Hoboken area. I needed a break and wanted to hang out, meet some friends locally and watch some football. The weather was very rainy so I wanted to be right in the area for work the next day. I didn’t want to stay in some high price hotel so I went to the web site I had previous saved for …believe it or not…A Rainy Day (LOL) and was very surprised at the special deal. I immediately jumped at it. I know the rate won’t be like this all the time but it doesn’t matter! It got me there and I WILL come back. I felt at home. Even though I came in on a special rate, at the regular price it was better than the middle of the road brand name hotels in the area! And you where not nickel and dimmed. And there was much more on top of that. I had a couple of small things for breakfast since I was in a rush. But if I had more time I would have really enjoyed it! The spread and the set up was great. Had a nice conversation with Raphael about the area since we were both familiar with it. Raphael and Lonnie were very accommodating. I will be back!!

"Amazing service" 1/14/2010 Stayed On: 1/2010

My wife and I stayed here for only one night and both of us were amazed by quality of service, cleanliness and hospitality. This was our fifth trip to New york and surrounding areas for job interviews and we wished we could stayed here ealier. I strongly recommend that this is an ideal place to live either you are travelling alone or with family.

"Wonderful Place to Stay" 1/11/2010 Stayed On: 1/2010

The people are really friendly and nice. Very pleasant place to stay.

"Great Service, Great Value, Great Food" 1/10/2010

Stayed On: 12/2009

I had the opportunity to stay at the Jersey City Bed and Breakfast over the Christmas holiday. The rooms were very neat and comfortable. It was also wonderful that parking was not an issue. The breakfast was great, as was the service during breakfast. It was very interesting to meet and converse with people from different countries over breakfast. Jersey City B&B was a great find, and I will definitely stay there again when the need arises.

"BEST TIME EVER" 1/8/2010 Stayed On: 12/2009

I found the Jersey's City Bed and Breakfast through the marvels of Google. There were many B&Bs in Manhattan to choose from, but something about this one stood out. Maybe it was all the good reviews that I read, whatever it was that got me here, I'm sure glad it did. I booked a room online and worked perfect. We chose the King size room in the first floor and is amazing the mattress was so good that I couldn't wait to get there and lay down after our long walks in the city. We had the best nights sleep we'd had all vacation. The comfy king size bed was so luxurious with plenty of pillows that we faded quickly to sleep. The huge tv was a great way to relax it has more than 300 channels to choose. The bathroom was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast and chocolates were incredible and I've already recommended my sister stay here and experience this wonderful B&B for herself. Caroline from Germany.

"Great B&B, we´ll definitely come again!" 12/30/2009

Stayed On: 11/2009

We felt very welcome, Lonnie and Rafa are the best hosts you could imagine. Rafa cares for everything and there is everything in the room you didn´t even know you need! Walking distance to Journal Square was absolutely fine. There is a laundry service nearby and several food deliveries available. Free drinks in the room. The computer with free internet and a printer is fantastic, helped us a lot. Newark airport is just a 15 minutes car drive away. All in all a great stay and we definitely recommend this place!! Thanks a lot to Rafa and Lonnie!

"A Most Pleasant Experience" 12/26/2009 Stayed On: 12/2009

The Doorstep service was really the icing on the cake. Whoever heard of the Innkeeper going to pick you up from the Train Station. They even had take-out menus in the room with your own bathroom, phone and private number. Great Big TV with "Working Cable AND Movie Channels." They also offered their family's Museum pass, which unfortunately I didn't have the time to make use of. But that's okay, Next time. Because I'll certainly be coming back without a doubt. Would I recommend this place? ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY. It was also quite nice that there was room to sit around the breakfast table with the other guests. Very large buffet spread for breakfast and if you wanted something else that you didn't see on the table, Raphael would gladly cook it for you any which way you asked him to. And the neighborhood is wonderfully centrally located. Just 15 minutes walk to Journal Square where all the shopping and restaurants are. So it was a First Class Experience.

"Jersey City B&B--a great deal" 12/20/2009

Stayed On: 12/2009

Lonnie and crew were most helpful and gracious. They helped bring in luggage and helped shovel the 12 inch snow that fell the last night, so we could drive away safely. We made it! We had a wonderful time and would recommend Jersey City B&B highly!

"FANTASTIC!" 12/15/2009 Stayed On: 12/2009

A really unique wonderful place to stay, Unique in that i have never stayed somewhere that is so flexible! The customer really does come first. We missed breakfast one morning (like three girls do after a days shopping in New York) and there was noway these guys were going to see us go hungry! We were told to help ourselves to anything we liked! Its a fantastic location and the guys will he as much help as possible. We even got dropped to the station on our last day. Where on earth do you get that? The help prior to our stay was also wonderful, e-mails direct from Lonnie and Rapheal to ourselves - with information on cost, how far we were from various locations etc. Very honest and useful! For The VERY reasonable price you would not normally expect such comfort, friendliness and quietness! I think its also fair to say that this place would suit any clientelle - old, young, mixed groups etc - mainly due to how flexible the innkeeper is. I think we may have had the smaller room due to dragging our feet. But this was by no means small. A very decent size, with a computer and free wireless. Been a long time since i've seen that in somewhere with B&B prices. The rooms were cleaned throughly every single day. It really was a delight to come back to. My Holiday was made by these guys and i WILL be returning. If your reading the reviews or even thinking about booking do it. You really won't be dissapointed!!!! Have fun!!

"A Wonderful Weekend Getaway" 12/9/2009 Stayed On: 12/2009

We are from Rochester NY and needed a place to stay for our NYC trip after another B&B had a last minute change. We found Jersey City B&B online. We were a little leery about going somewhere we didn't know the location. We got there and it was great. The room was perfect (King room) great bed very comfy. We loved Lonnie and his family they made us feel very welcome and right at home. I would recommend to anyone who goes to NYC/NJ. Very close to public transportation. Loved our stay, we can't say enough. We can't wait to go back.

"Amazing Customer Service" 11/11/2009 Stayed On: 10/2009

We spent weeks trying to find available lodging within our budget for a trip to Manhattan and finally found it here. This was not the typical New England style antique-filled, historic home B & B. It was better in so many ways. We were a little wary at first about staying in New Jersey and hassling transportation into the city each day. But no worries. The Path train runs 24 hours/day, and the walk to the train station was fast, easy and safe, even at 1:00 in the morning! On the evening of our arrival, our flight was delayed so we didn't arrive by taxi until 1:30 in the morning...despite the time, Rafael was there to greet us and help with our luggage and this is something you wouldn't find at other B & Bs. We stayed in the King room the first night, and the remainder of our stay in the upstairs Suite. Very comfortable beds, plenty of room to spread out, gorgeous view of NYC skyline from the suite balcony, both for morning sunrise and the city lights at night. Breakfast at the communal dining table was cooked to order, with a variety of choices, and afforded us interesting conversation with Lonnie, the owner, and other guests from Argentina, Utah, and California. One of the nicest touches was having complimentary bottled water and soda in our fridge to take with us for sightseeing each day. Because the inn had no vacancy for our last night in Manhattan, we were able to use the free in-room internet/computer/telephone to make numerous calls and searches for alternative lodging for our final night, at no extra charge. What a lifesaver that was. And when we were ready to check-out, Rafael drove us to the other hotel to drop off our luggage and then took us to the Path train station, saving us the cost of 2 cab rides!! That's amazing service for you!!! We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Jersey City B & B to anyone looking for great service and comfortable lodging at a truly affordable price. Debbie & Bryan, October 2009, 5 nights

"Well worth a stay!" 11/9/2009 Stayed On: 10/2009

I stayed for a week at the end of October and had a very enjoyable time. The room was very neat and nice and contained all sorts of useful extras - internet, iron, fridge, microwave etc -and Rafael and Lonnie were excellent hosts. Unfortunately, I'm not much of an early-morning eater, which was a shame, as the breakfast spread could feed a small army! For anyone wanting to spend their days in New York, but are limited in their budget. the JC B & B is ideal. It's way cheaper than any equivalent in Manhattan and the core of the Big Apple is only a 15-minute subway jorney away from the local PATH station. I'll definitely be back. Best wishes, Fraser, Scotland.

"A VTRUR BARGAIN AND WONDERFUL HOSTS!" 10/27/2009 Stayed On: 10/2009

We stayed 10 days and it was the best deal we ever got at any B and B we ever stayed at. Not only were the rooms clean and comfy, but the breakfast was truly the best we ever had at a B and B. I don't know how you are able to charge such a reasonable rate for the 5 Star quality that you gave us. Thank you Lonnie and Rafael for making our visit with you such a memorable experience. Not only will we be back next year, but we will also be sending many of our friends to you too. And that massage chair was so nice to use every day after our long walks in NYC. Thanks again Tony and Mary from Texas

"We have just returned from a fantastic 3 three week holiday in the USA." 9/20/2009 Stayed On: 4/2009

What a wonderful first week we had with Lonnie and Raphael at Lonnie's Jersey City B and B. It really is a home away from home. The friendly service you receive from the first moment you meet them, makes you feel so welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast was superb, the rooms are so comfortable, with everything you could possibly wish for. Our two boys were able to get on the internet every day and communicate with their friends, all about the amazing sights they were seeing each day. We were often given a lift up to the Path station and then an easy 25 mins into Manhatten by Path train. We used to walk back or catch a cab for about $5.00.It's nice to walk up after breakfast, then you can buy stuff in the shops on the way !! The coffee shop at Journal Square is also nice for a quick pizza, before heading back to the B and B for some nice coffee or tea in your room. We had fresh fruit daily and the fridge was always stocked with cool drinks for the boys. We will definitely stay at Jersey City's B and B again, the boys are already saving. Thank you very much Lonnie for your wonderful hospitality, a rare gem in a jewel of a city ! Kathy and Chris Savage Cape Town South Africa.

"2nd stay even better than the first" 9/15/2009 Stayed On: 9/2009

I stayed again for the 2nd time on the 25th of September 2009 and I thought the host and the B & B were great first time I stayed earlier this year but again, they did more for us than I could immagine and the rooms and service were second to none. This is the only B and B I will ever stay at in the NJ and NYC area. Many thanks Lonnie

"Especially good service" 8/25/2009 Stayed On: 7/2009

Very accommodating host / staff - couldn't do enough. My kids were treated as queens! Great for families. Highly recommended. Liam, Tracy and girls

"Thanks from Quebec" 8/15/2009 Stayed On: 8/2009

Great service. We were greeted just like friends. Maybe one of the many reasons we'll be back and are happy to recommend this place! Thank to Lonnie and the staff!

""The best decision I ever made"" 6/30/2009 Stayed On: 2/2009

I stayed for more than three months in Lonnies B&B.Before I spent many hours to find a accommodation with affordable room rates.It was impossible.Always it was the same one room for 150-200$ per night.When I found a cheaper accommodation was it always with shared rooms and shared bathrooms.It was a coincidence when I found Lonnies B&B.I wrote him an E-mail and made my reservation.It was the best thing that could happen to me.I was so surprised when I saw my room.There was a tv, a fridge, a micro wave, an iron, a telephone with an own number and answering machine and a computer with internet access and printer.For me it was very helpful to had a computer with printer because I printed out many documents for the english school I visited during this three months.The room was always VERY clean and Beena and Rafael stocked daily my fridge with free soft drinks.Rafael prepared every day a delicious breakfest.When Lonnie was available he gave me many times a ride to the PATH train at the Journal Square.For me it was a second home far away from my home.I like to think back to this time.It was a really nice time with you guys.Thank you very much Lonnie, Beena, Rafael and boys Jessie and Johnesson. To summarise: To book a room in Lonnies B&B is one of the best things that can happen to you in New. York. Daniel from Switzerland

"With great appreciation" 6/28/2009 Stayed On: 6/2009

Words cannot adequately express my great appreciation for the fine hospitality extended during my recent stay at this B&B. It was my first stay at a B&B, and this host went beyond the call to make it one of my most enjoyable stay. Lonnie was most hospitable, shared not only his time and knowledge of the area, but in a most welcomed way—something I will always remember of this trip. I will definitely look forward to a return. His facilities and staff were great. I just completed a cross Atlantic cruise on the Queen Mary 2 and the rooms at this B&B were larger and better equipped the cabins on the QM2.

"Best Host we ever had" 6/28/2009 Stayed On: 6/2009

Came from Australia and stayed in the king size room and the adjoining room on the 17th and 18th of June 2009. Lonnie (the host) exceed all our expectations with his born and breed knowledge of NJ and NYC. We saw things that we would never otherwise have seen. The accommodation and breakfast were exactly what we wished for. Well done Lonnie and staff, you are doing a fantastic job.

"have no doubt: it's just great!" 6/23/2009 Stayed On: 6/2009

We stayed 8 nights at the beginning of June. Thanks to the great hospitality and service we felt comfy and at home from the first minute we arrived! Rooms were very clean and the beds were of good quality. Breakfast was fabulous and Rafael (host) was always in for an amusing and friendly morning chat. After a refreshing 10min walk you're at the JSQ Path station which takes you directly downtown NYC to the business district or 33rd street. Rafael, Loni and kids : thanks for the great time we had while staying with you! Selma and Rene, Germany

"The greatest bed&breakfast ever!" 6/21/2009 Stayed On: 5/2009

absolutely perfect, from the begining to the end ! The rooms: we slept in the king size room. The king size bed was really comfortable, and the Tvs were really neat: the giant one was realy cool with its hundreds of channels, and the other had english subtitiles, which came really handy for us, foreign tourists. I can't think of anything wrong... really fantastic ! After a full day visiting New York, we couldn't wait to go home to rest in this really welcoming place ! the service was awesome. Everyone was really kind and nice, and made this journey even greater ! Lonnie, Rafael were adorable! The cleanliness was as good as possible. And the breakfast : even better then in hotels. Pancakes, waffles, fresh fruit salad, it was always yummy and delicious. We had a great time back there. We really recommand this place ! Charlotte and Sandrine, from France

"Great value B&B" 6/16/2009 Stayed On: 6/2009

Stayed in the suite for 6 days in June. Clean and quiet room, lots of amenities in the room, fabulous breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff, warm welcome. 10 min walk to Path station, approx. 30 min by Path into NY centre. Taxi to Newark airport was $25. The perfect place to stay when visiting New York!!! Irmgard from Austria

"Excellent also for a longer stay!" 5/31/2009 Stayed On: 4/2009

I spent a whole month in this very nice B&B. Both a suite and a double room were excellent and very well equipped! The breakfast was diverse enough so that I did not get tired of it though I ate it 30 days in a row. From the first day I felt welcomed and homey. The room was everytime in perfect condition when I came back to my room, thanks for that Beena! I consider it remarkable that there were no problems of any kind during these 30 days! A BIG recommendation from me for travellers staying a short or also a longer time. Pekka from Finland

"Great place to stay" 5/23/2009 Stayed On: 5/2009

We stayed 5 days while vacationing for the first time in New York. This was the perfect home away from home and provided a comfortable and quiet place to stay. Drinks, bottled water and fresh fruit was in our room daily. The path train was a very convenient and inexpensive way to get to Manhattan and a 10 minute walk from the B&B. Breakfast each day was well prepared and generous. We were well taken care of and very happy with our stay. We highly recommend Jersey City B&B!

"Fabulous B&B" 5/17/2009 Stayed On: 5/2009

We stayed in the B&B in May 2009. We enjoyed our stay here : the Suite was very clean, and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious (thank you to Rafael) and Lonnie is a very nice host, very helpful. We recommend it and we are sure that we come again. Thank you for all. Claudie and Lionel, South of France B&B parfait : accueil chaleureux, petit déjeuner très copieux et Manhattan à 30 minutes du logement. Nous sommes très satisfaits de notre séjour et nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Claudie et Lionel, Frontignan (34)

"B& B très sympa" 4/27/2009 Stayed On: 4/2009

Très bon accueil Très bon petit déjeuner : choix, quantité, service Chambres spacieuses, confortables, propres Ne pas hésiter, loin de la foule de Manhattan, et proche en temps (30 mn pour etre au centre de Manhattan ) Des bretons

"great place to stay" 4/19/2009 Stayed On: 4/2009

We had a great time at Lonnies place. Breakfast was unbelievable big and tasty. The whole service was perfect, Lonnie did really care about our wellbeing. The perfect place to stay... Our Room (the suite) was spacious and had great features: a pc with internet access, balcony with view on manhattan, big sofa and a really big and comfortable bed. The B&B isn't far away from the path station, 10 minutes walk. We highly recommend it!

"Could not have asked for more!" 4/16/2009 Stayed On: 4/2009

We stayed with Lonnie at Jersey City B&B in April 09. What a great place to stay! Everything that you would want or need was available. The room was spacious and very clean with fab extras such as a mini bar full of soft drinks that was stocked daily at no extra charge and fresh fruit. In our room we had a PC with printer and full internet access and full cable for the TV including movies etc. Beena (housekeeping) was fab, she was filling in for the cook when we stayed and did a marvellous job! Her egg concoction was just fab! Housekeeping is daily at the B&B and the standards are second to none, fab job Beena! Lonnie is really helpful and always available for advice and even a ride to the PATH train! To summarise - book it, you won't be disappointed, we loved it and were sorry when our time came to move on. Fab job Lonnie and Beena, keep up the good work - hopefully we'll see you soon!! Paul, Siobhan & Calum - Liverpool, UK.

"Very clean & superb value" 4/10/2009 Stayed On: 4/2009

This B&B was immaculate, breakfast was complete & delicious, amenities were extensive & the innkeeper, Lonnie Sobel, kindly gave me a ride to the Courthouse in his car. I highly recommend Jersey City's Bed & Breakfast. John M.

"Loved it!!" 4/8/2009 Stayed On: 2/2009

We had a wonderful time at the B&B was very clean and beautifully presented. There were quite a few shops, Cafes, Lounges and restaurants nearby at Journal Square and Grove Street that we really liked! When I wanted to go to Manhattan it was very easy and fast and in the same subway station I took the 33th street sub that leaves me just 6 blocks from Times Square and runs 24hrs. The house made breakfasts were delicious and his knowledge of Manhattan was really helpful. Talking to the other guests was fascinating and was always full of wonderful people coming in&out. They speak fluent Spanish to that was a plus for me, I really felt like home, can’t wait to return!! After those long walks in Manhattan we came back really tired and my wife and I really liked using the free fancy massage chair when we got back to your place. Thank you for being such great hosts in such a great place. Arturo from Peru.

"Home from home" 4/3/2009 Stayed On: 3/2009

We loved staying at the Jersey B&B. It was just the two of us, but 4 people could have easily stayed in our room (King size). The bed was huge and absolutely fantastic, as was the tv. The room was very clean and was looked after every day. Lovely breakfast. Takes about 40 min. to get to the New York City center.

"What a great place" 3/19/2009 Stayed On: 3/2009

Thanks to Lonnie & Tess for a wonderful time. We enjoyed our stay here very much and while we were driving around the east coast and stayed in other motels we then realized how nice Jersey City B&B is. So when we came back we felt straight away at home. Food was delicious, Lonnie & Tess so friendly. Thanks very much for your hospitality. Chris from Germany and Mie from Denmark.

"More than I expected" 3/2/2009 Stayed On: 2/2009

This place was one of the nicest places I ever stayed at. Thank you Lonnie and Tesi! You were both the best!

"Lovely B&B for NYC trip" 2/11/2009 Stayed On: 12/2008

I took my first flight ever in Dec and was apprehensive about where to book a reasonable room. We found Jersey City Bed & Breakfast and couldn't believe the price. When we arrived Lonnie was so very gracious in sharing tips on the city and even driving us to the train station! The Path train is very cheap and an easy way to get to Manhattan. Tessie was also so sweet and had our breakfast ready for us each morning whenever we asked. The room was so cozy, it honestly felt like staying with family. You cannot find this kind of deal at a hotel. I couldn't have asked for a better price and experience for NYC at Christmas no doubt. Thanks Lonnie and Tessie. ~ Crystal & Matt

"My Awesome Stay" 2/6/2009 Stayed On: 2/2009

I usually stay in Manhattan. Once you add the cost of Parking, the cost is just too expensive. I was looking for a alternative and I found an excellent one with this place. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about a B&B in Jersey City, but after staying here, I'll never go back to the city. The rooms and suites are huge by anyone's standard. I checked in and saw a nice size bedroom and was pretty happy with it. I didn't realize that I had a big living room to go with it as well. I had a private microwave/refrig. The refrig was stocked with different sodas, all included. A coffee making machine, not those little drip ones you see in hotels. TV with so many channels. Not only do you get all this, but it also includes a full breakfast and parking. They are a 10 minute walk to the Train Station that gets you into Manhattan in a matter of minutes. They even have a pinball machine and a incredible massage chair. I will never stay in the city again as long as they are open. Thank you for the hospitality.

"Everything you need and super spotless!" 2/5/2009

Stayed On: 12/2008

Thank you so much for the lovely stay!! My room was spacious and spotless and such good value for money – and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. Breakfast was also scrumptious!! The train station was just a few blocks away and the train into Manhattan was barely 15 minutes long. Affordable and lovely, thank you. Loni and Tess are wonderful hosts! Regards Jacqui Jones

"Great place to stay in New York" 1/28/2009 Stayed On: 1/2009

The B&B has really good price/comfortability rating. You can't probably find as good place for staying when visiting New York. The host was really helpful! And the breakfasts... Just delicious! Rooms were clean and very well equipped - incl laptop with WiFi for free use! And some free drinks (water, Coca-cola etc) in the fridge. Will definitely recommend the B&B to fellow travellers.

"Perfect weekend getaway" 1/26/2009 Stayed On: 1/2009

From the moment we were met to the moment we left this B&B with its innkeeper and staff gave us 5 star hotel treatment mixed with hometown hospitality. Lonnie is a gracious host and the breakfast provided by Tessie was delicious and plenty.

"Highly recommended" 1/25/2009 Stayed On: 1/2009

Staying 4 nights in Jan. 2009 at Jersey City's B&B was an absolutely delight! We tried both the Kingsize room as weel as the Suite. Both exeeded our expectations by far. Our ratings speak for themselves. We don't know when but we'll be back!!! Danie and Henrik

"Best place ever" 1/22/2009 Stayed On: 12/2008

We spent a few days here during New Year and we just loved it! We felt very welcome and everything was great. The breakfast was fantastic! First we hesitated booking the room because of the distance to Manhattan but it took max 30 min to get there. And Lonnie gave us ride to the train almost every day. Best value ever!! Thanks’ Lonnie and Jess! Tomas and Malin/Sweden

"Let's talk about magic!!!" 1/17/2009 Stayed On: 10/2008

Upon arrival, my beautiful girlfriend and I were greeted by the kindest gentleman. Our luggage was quickly hoisted into the back of his car and we were off to what would be a jaw-dropping experience. The first thing my girlfriend said when she saw our room was "Wow, look a that bed!!!" After an entire day of walking around New York and enjoying an incredible night on broadway, we were met by the plush ever so soft magic carpet that awaited us. That bed itself outweighs the cost of forty nights at Lonnie's place!!! There was nothing that this man would not do for us; and we have not even gotten to his wonderful assistant!!!! She made a breakfast like no other and spent time with my girlfriend and I, giving us a feeling of closeness and a friendly atmosphere!!! Jersey City Bed and Breakfast is without a doubt my favorite place to stay at of all time!!! definitly five stars and three diamonds!!! :) Sincerely, Alex and Roseline

"The best value I ever got at a BandB." 1/16/2009

Stayed On: 1/2009

We stayed in the Suite. This room was so great. We both loved the balcony with the super view of Manhattan and all the extra room in your spacious living room. And your King size bed was so comfortable that we slept like babies every night. You guys thought of everything, from the little things like Q-tips and mouthwash in the bathroom, to free sodas and a robe and iron and ironing board in our room also. YOU ARE BOTH THE BEST. We will recommend all our friends and family to stay with you, and already I know my brother-in-law will be calling you next week for a room sometime in February. They'll only be there for 5 days, but they're fun people just like us. And also, I want to let you know that all those amenities were amazing. Those special coffee packets were some of the best coffee I ever had. And having a microwave and a refrigerator in the room was great for snacks the following day after we got late night Chinese deliveries a couple of nights. And wow, not only did we have a computer with the internet in our room, but you gave us a printer and paper too. And we also loved having a water cooler in our room too! You take care now, and we shall see you again in a year or two from now. Ken and Theresa Peterson Iceland

"A Great Stay and Pinball Too!!!!!" 1/3/2009 Stayed On: 12/2008

From the time I arrived to the time I left, I felt at home. Just a 10 Minute walk to the Train, I was just 3 stops away from Manhattan. The rooms are big and comfortable. I decided to stay an extra night. I had to change rooms, but they made this as seemless as possible. Breakfast was great. Everything revolved around eggs, but the eggs were prepared differently each of the 3 days I was there. A working Pinball Machine was a added bonus. You are not limited to the 15 to 20 channels most hotel TVs has, but a full package of channels including most Premimum Channels. There is a computer in all of the rooms, so you do not have to bring one if it is not needed. Between Breakfast, Parking and Internet included in the price, it is the best deal I have found in the area. Thank you for the hospitality, Lonnie. I look forward to staying with you soon. J. Westlake

"THE BEST OF THE BEST!" 12/27/2008 Stayed On: 12/2008

What else can I say to Lonnie & Tesi but thank you and thank you and thank you for a wonderful vacation. My wife and I are from England and we just spent 10 days at their place. We left there December 23rd. By the time we left we felt like we were part of the family. To start, I just wanted to especially thank Lonnie for offering us rides to the path train many mornings. Although we only took him up on his offer the two days it rained, it was very thoughtful of him to offer. My wife and I are real health fanatics and we just love to walk. It's only a half mile to get to the train and we always got there in ten minutes anyway. And once we arrived in the city we always walk a few extra miles a day besides! And Tesi thanks so much for all those great breakfasts. I love the way you always gave us a nice variety & there was always more then enough so that we were usually full till dinnertime. And everything was so immaculately clean all the time that it really made us feel at home because we keep our house in England very clean so your super cleaning lady everyday really made us very happy. And what a great value you are for the money. I see now why you won that award for best value at Bed and Breakfast for 2008-2009. And that three thousand dollar massage chair was absolutely unbelievable. It was so nice of you to let us use it every night after our long walks in the city. What else can I say? You are two wonderful people who really enjoy sharing your wealth of knowledge and your beautiful newly renovated home with everyone, and you thus made our visit to the United States one of our most memorable trips we have ever had.

We stayed with Lonnie and Tessie last summer, with our three kids. They were great !!!

we had chosen Jersey City's BB as the first place to stay in the States. We were surprised to discover a clean and comfortable Suite for the four of us.

Stayed On: 10/2008

We stayed here for 6 nights from 25 Oct to 31 Oct 2008. Lonnie and Tesi offer a very warm welcome. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Our "room" was actually 2 rooms, a bedroom with a king sized bed & a TV with cable. The other was a family room where our son slept. This room has a PC and printer with all the stationary anyone would require. There was a fridge which had complimentary drinks replenished daily, a coffee /tea machine, a microwave and another TV. Not least, this room offers an unrivaled view of Manhattan. Lonnie offered to drive us to the Path Train Station at Journal Square every morning. Tesi cooks breakfast every morning, at a time of your choice. Her food is delicious and she is great company. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would recommend this B&B to anyone traveling to New York City. We won't consider staying anywhere else when we come back to New York on holiday.

"Perfect Place To Stay" 11/14/2008 Stayed On: 11/2008

We had been in NY for many times and stayed in different hotels. Frankly this is the best place we had ever stayed in New York [close]. It is very close to Manhattan, within 10-15 minutes by train, so location is perfect. The rooms are very comfortable [if you dont have your own computer + printer don't mind you have it in your room with free internet], clean and you feel your self in your house. The inn keepars are very freindly, helpful and respectful people. If you go to New York or New Jersey, we can surely recommend to all new guests to this place. The price is very acceptable rate + quality & service are perfect. Next time, we will be again there. Best regards, The family from Turkey

We are a family with two youngsters of 12 and 16 and we found it to exceed all our expectations. It was perfect, extremely serviceminded and nice hosts, clean, strategic location, only 10 minutes with Pathtrain to Manhattan, on the way to Newark airport. We can truly recommend this for anybody that doens't absolutely need to have a lodging in Manhattan.

Thank you Lonnie and Tesi for providing a nice Bed and Breakfast near New York City for a VERY reasonable price. Your rooms are clean and updated with the new hardwood floors. The breakfast you provide is healthy and filling. Best of all, your hospitality will ensure a second stay with you when we come back to introduce New York City to our kids. Brad and Jeannie Thanks

Everything about this place was great. It was especially nice to have our own laptop with internet right in our room. Lonnie and Tessie we're fantastic hosts. Tessie made great breakfasts and Lonnie even drove us to the train station several times in his own car. We were there for 5 nights and it felt less like a B&B and more like staying with friends. I would definitely stay here again and I have already recommended it to others. Dan & Connie - Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

"Amazing value, amazing people!!" 11/3/2008

Stayed On: 10/2008

We stayed here after staying 2 days at a hotel in a nearby city. We paid more at the hotel for a lot less ammenities. Getting into NYC was so much easier and a lot faster from Lonnie's place compared to the hotel. The breakfasts were plentiful and outstanding. I waited until 1pm to eat lunch, even though I had breakfast at 7:30am. I probably could have waited even longer. The bed was so comfortable and I had the best nights sleep of my short stay in the NYC area. Lonnie picked us up from the train station and brought us back when we went into NYC. He also brought us back the morning of our departure. The rooms were stocked with refreshements and plenty of fruit. I enjoyed the very plush bathrobe too. My only wish was that I could have stayed the other two nights of my trip. Robin and Randi MacDonald.

"Like to be home" 11/1/2008 Stayed On: 10/2008

I visited NYC alone and stayed 8 nights at B&B. It was like beeing at home. Warm and friendly atmosphare and the room was as big as a small apartment. Reasonable prices, free Internet access, fridge, microwave and, of course, TV. Nice people who really made great efforts to let you feel comfortable. Loonie gave me a ride each morning to the station and Tessie always made a fanciful breakfast. I also liked the talks at the breakfast table and I did not feel like beeing on my own. It just takes you 20 minutes by train to Manhattan and the train goes until midnight (and starts again at 5.00 a.m.) Even to walk from the station to the B&B in the evenings, I felt save all the time. I would highly recommend this place, especially for women travelling alone. Diana / Germany.

This was our first time at a B&B and we didn't know what to expect. Thankfully we had all of the comforts of home very far away from home. Our suite was comfy and cozy with a terrific view of Manhattan. Lonnie was so helpful and even gave us rides to the Path Train. (Journal Square Path Train really is an easy 15 minute walk) Tessie was wonderful and she does not hold back on the breakfasts there was always plenty and the food was very hearty. ( too bad our group is used to little or no breakfast at all) Sorry Tessie! We would definitely say that it was a pleasure staying in their home.A+++

When I was planning my tour to NY/Manhattan - I decided to stay in Jersey City's B&B - Luck was with me - I could not have found a better place. On arrival Tess gave me a very welcome and introduced me to all the facitilities. I stayed there for 9 days. During this time i met people from Italy, South Africa, Holland, Germany, Sweden and I am from Denmark - 81 years Old. We all talked about how satisfied we were to stay in Jersey B&B in a family way. I walk every day to the Path Station very easy about 10 - 15 min away. When I saw the information about Jersey B&B I thought to myself - it is to good too be true, but in the reality it was even much better. The Breakfast was perfect and the room very very clean. The fridge was allways filled with Water, Cola and Sprite and fresh fruit in the Fruit Bowl. Also PC with high speed free internet access and TV with many channels in the room. Lonnie, Tess and Beena did everything to make my stay as pleasant as possible. On top of all that, Lonnie drove me to the Airport the last day on my way home. I was very grateful. I/C.

"Highly recommended" 10/13/2008 Stayed On: 9/2008

Lonnie & Tess made us very welcome and Tess' breakfasts were fantastic. We did not need any lunch. The use of a computer in our rooms made access to emails on our 10 week holiday so convenient. Lonnie even transported us to the Path station on 2 mornings. Best value for money on our holiday so far. Thank you Evanne & Terry from Cape Town South Africa.

"THE place to stay." 10/9/2008 Stayed On: 8/2008

Jersey City B&B is simply THE place to stay if you're visiting the NY/NJ area. As a lone traveller, I was instantly made to feel at home. I stayed for 5 nights in the suite. The view is amazing. The room has all the facilities you need - a comfortable bed, air conditioning, a mini fridge which is stocked daily with drinks, coffee/tea making facilities, cable TV and internet access - great for keeping in touch with those back home. Lonnie & Tesi were the perfect hosts. I really enjoyed breakfast times, sitting around the table having a chat with them both and the other guests. Tesi cooked wonderful breakfasts - very filling, and Lonnie was more then willing to give me a lift to the PATH station, in fact he insisted on making sure his guests got there OK. The station is literally a 10 minute walk away. You can leave the B&B and be in Manhattan within 30 minutes. I should also mention Beena (I hope I've spelt your name right!). Beena welcomed me into the B&B after my long flight from the UK, showed me to my room, told me a bit about the area and how to get to the station and even cooked breakfast one morning, when Lonnie and Tesi were away. What a star she is! Had great conversations with her - what a credit she is to the B&B. I'm already looking forward to visiting NYC again, and will not hesitate to stay in Jersey City B&B again. My advice to anyone is, don't pay extortionate prices in Manhattan where you are just a number on a guest list, stay here for less and you will be treated as a friend. Chris. Manchester UK.

"Pleasant NY experience" 10/5/2008 Stayed On: 6/2008

Lonie Thank you for your hospitality offered to us while visiting NewYork. Your travel tips on NY subways were invaluable. Transport to the subway station with our huge luggage was most appreciated And the breakfast, a million dollar job for the hungry boys, we will never ferget it, and can confidently recommend it to any visitors to NY.

"Great days in USA" 10/4/2008 Stayed On: 9/2008

We stayed in this B&B for a bit more than a week and enjoyed every minute. Lonnie was a very enthousiastic and helpful landlord and "sunshine" Tessi made the best breakfast we ever had, every morning a new surprise. The beds were big and comfortable, the room was cosy and lots of drinks in the fridge when coming home from a long long walk in the city. The train was a little bit further than we thought, but if Lonnie had time he brought us to the station. In every way a great place to recommand. Many many gratulations with your well earned AWARD!

"Clean, Comfortable, Convenient and Cheap!!" 9/25/2008

Stayed On: 9/2008

My grown daughter and I have just returned to our home in Canada after spending eight nights in the home of Lonnie and Tesi. It was our first time staying in a B&B, as well as our first visit to NYC. Had we stayed in Manhattan, our visit would have been much shorter because of the very high cost of accommodation. As most of the reviews have mentioned, Lonnie and Tesi are wonderful hosts, the accommodations and amenities are fabulous and the location very convenient. I had some concerns about safety prior to our arrival simply because we were two women travelling alone. Lonnie reassured me that the area was safe. Indeed, my daughter and I did travel on the PATH train late at night and walked home from the station the first two nights. We would have continued to do so but the 12-14 hour days of walking caught up with us so we opted for the cab. In fact, never once in our nine days did we feel unsafe in NYC or Jersey City. I have already recommended Jersey City's B&B to a lady I met on the plane on the way home.

Stayed On: 8/2008

Hi, I'm from Germany and I'm travelling a lot, due to business purposes. I saw many hotels and other places to stay, but this Bed&Breakfast is the best, most valuable, most comfortable and best located place to stay all over the world. Lonnie and Tessie are some of the friendliest people I ever met. Thanks for that fantastic stay for a very great price. We were a party of four, rented two rooms at Jersey City B&B at the end of august: The rooms are very clean, big and comfortable. And there is everything you'll need: Drinks, fruits, coffee, wireless internet, PCs with printer and a fridge. Room Service (Cleaning) is great, too. The breakfast stands to higher european standards. The PATH station is just 5 min by car or 10 min to walk. From this station you'll need less than 10 min to arrive at Ground Zero or about 20 min to stand in front of the Empire State Building. It's a suberb location to stay, for a very nice price.

"Outstanding B&B!" 9/21/2008 Stayed On: 9/2008

The Jersey B&B is ideal when you are coming from Newark airport. In less than half an hour you are in the residence. And in about 12 min from Journal Square (15 min walking from the residence) you are in the WTC area. Lonnie and Tessie are very kind people. They always want to help you. Tessie is a real sweetie and she is very generous for making a good European breakfast if you don't like the American breakfast, like I did. Thank you again Tessie! Lonnie helps you always with his tips and tricks and when he is free, he drives you to the subwaystation. The rooms are very comfortable; you have all what you need and more than that, even fruit, free drinks, free telephone in the US, free internet, free computeruse and printing, airco.... Let's say total complete service. I can advise you to take the suite. We stayed in the room with two beds and later in the suite. If this room is free, take this. It costs a little bit more, but you have a lot more of comfort (greater room). B&B is top and a very good place to stay!

"Best decision ever" 9/17/2008 Stayed On: 9/2008

It was the best decision to stay at Jerseys City B&B !The room was very big and set lovingly, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was excellent and delicious!!! We felt very well and the two were always nice and helpful and always did everything that every guest felt well. Always having drinks in the fridge and using the internet for free is a excellent service and i´ll guess you´ll nerver find such a service anywhere else. So as it is told at the homepage: we will come back !! ;-)) Toby and Yvonne / Hamburg-Germany

"Hospitality, at last!" 9/1/2008 Stayed On: 6/2008

I come from Greece, and, dare I say, we do have our rather exacting ideas about hospitality. Just about any hotel I have been in, anywhere, regardless of price range, totally and completely lacks even traces of what hospitality is about. Thankfully, Lonnie's and Tessie's place is an exception. You are entering into their home, they take care of you, and things feel so right. I stayed there for four nights in mid June and wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else on my next trip. Your only excuse for not staying here is if they are booked... period.

"Great Place, Great People, Great Bargain!" 8/20/2008

Stayed On: 2/2008

I was blown away by the high prices of hotels in Manhatten. While searching for a bargain, I came across Jersey City B&B at bedandbreakfast.com. I have so much to say about my stay with Lonnie and Tess, because they made a positive impression on me. But, first a little about the accommodations at their Jersey City B & B: Their home is wonderful, with hardwood flooring, soft and comfortable beds, small fridges in every room stocked with beverages and fruit, laptops, phone calls and printers supplied at no extra charge, and great breakfasts! The price was more than reasonable for the convenience and comfort of the stay. I was given a good discount rate for 10 nights which averaged about $50 per night! I was so satisfied with my stay that I recommended the place to an actor friend of mine. Lonnie & Tess were gracious to send me a check as a thank you! It was a nice surprise. I come to NY at least twice per year, but this time was my first for NY Fashion Week. To save money, I had to cut corners in transportation by taking the Amtrak into the city. The train was 5 hrs late and when I got in at 1 am, Lonnie was at the station waiting for me! He carried my heavy luggage up the stairs to his car, took me to grab a bite to eat on the way to his home, and made sure I was settled into my room before he went to bed. The next morning, I met Tess, who is a great cook. We hit it off right away and each morning we had so much to talk about which made my stay even more enjoyable. Lonnie made sure I made the commuter train every morning and Tess made sure I had something to eat before I left for the day. She made breakfast according to my schedule which was very kind. At the end of my stay, Lonnie & Tess made sure everything was ready for me to go and gave me a warm farewell. I thank the couple for creating a warm and fond experience for me.

"Brilliant!" 8/20/2008 Stayed On: 8/2008

Everyone was really friendly and the atmosphere made for a lovely stay. Everyone there was helpful and the rooms were spotlessly clean. There was everything you could possibly want provided, no complaints about anything. Getting to Manhattan couldn’t be easer, as could getting to ferry points for Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, and getting to Newport Mall, all easily walkable, and/or the transit points very understandable. Defiantly recommend, I had an unforgettable holiday.

Very friendly people. A very interesting place. Cool art and a very eccentric and great place to be. Internet, Satelite TV. The breakfast was great. The owners really wanted you to enjoy it in a personal way. They were totally cool and kind. Jersey City though is a bit scary in the evening. Take a cab or be there before dark.

"Rockin' in Jersey City" 8/11/2008 Stayed On: 8/2008

We stayed at the Jersey City B&B for the 3-day All Points West Festival and we were exceptional surprised at the accommodations. I have stayed in some dives on the Upper-upper east side (read Harlem) and some less than memorable places in Gramercy for comparable and higher prices and this was far better than any of those. I especially don't miss the strung out characters on the door step of the place on the upper-upper east side. When you get down to it, I can get to mid-town Manhattan from Jersey City in about 30 minutes which is similar to the time to get to mid-town from Harlem. Comparisons aside, Jersey City B&B is clean and beautifully remodeled - I really liked the bamboo. Our trip would not have been complete without meeting Lonnie who is such a great host and very hospitable such a great and to think we almost escaped without meeting him. He makes sure guests are not in need of anything and the small things make a difference. Not wanting to lug my computer with me, it was nice to be able to make reservations and look up directions from the computer provided. The view from the suite to Manhattan is bar none. Excellent choice.

"Just two words: almost perfect!" 7/31/2008 Stayed On: 6/2008

I stayed with a friend at the "Jersey City's Bed and Breakfast" for one week, and I can only say, that this week was almost perfect! Everything is as it is described at the website, really everthing! Lonnie is a great innkeeper, very friendly and he really cares about his guests. Also the women who make the breakfast and clean the rooms are friendly and talkative and do a really good job. But now the reason why only "almost perfect": I don't know if it's normal in the US, but at breakfast we had scrambled eggs - every day. There have always been other things like waffles or gems with jelly, but every day we had eggs. We ate the eggs because they were really good but when we returned to Germany we didn't want to see any eggs for a long time. So this is my only point of critique: the missing variety at the breakfast. But despite that, our stay at "Jersey City's Bed and Breakfast" was just perfect, and next time I go to NYC, I will also stay with Lonnie! Thanks a lot, Lonnie and the girls!

"Superb Hospitality" 7/30/2008 Stayed On: 7/2008

I recently enjoyed a trip to New York City and electred to stay at Jersey City B & B. I am so happy I did. My family and I knew from the moment we arrived and met the owners that we had made a wise decision when planning our trip. Clean, posh, quiet, modern decor, delicious food and comfort comfort, comfort. It is everything listed on their site and more. Since my return, I have raved to all my family and friends about Jersey City B & B and would highly recommend it to anyone. I can't wait to stay there again. It is my family's new home away from home. From Patricia W. of Michigan.

"Excellent hospitality and breakfast" 7/29/2008 Stayed On: 7/2008

JERSEY CITY'S BED AND BREAKFAST provides great hospitality and delicious cooked breakfast (rated in the 'dining' category) in a quiet house conveniently located at walking distance from the PATH train station to Manhattan. Tessie and Lonnie are charming guests and all the features mentioned in their web site are indeed available. Highly recommended.

"Teenagers delight" 7/29/2008 Stayed On: 7/2008

We are two teenage sisters who stayed with Lonnie & Tessie from 14 -19 July ( our parents have sent a separate review but we wanted to do one of our own for other teenagers) . We were thoroughly looking forward to staying in New York, and Lonnie and Tessie’s was the perfect place for us to stay. Ellen says “I stayed in Lonnie and Tessie’s when I went to New York on vacation with my family. All the amusements like the video games and the pinball machine were very entertaining. The free internet access and the T.V with over 180 channels were good to have as well. Tessie’s breakfast were delicious and filled you for the whole day. I would definitely recommend that you should stay in Lonnie and Tessie’s. “ Sarah says “ Along with the amusements we had brought with us, the pinball machine, TV, computer and the other fun electrical gadgets kept us thoroughly entertained. The pinball machine was especially good fun and high scores were often compared. Tessie’s breakfasts were really nice and really filled us up for touring round New York all day. The view from the bedroom of New York was beautiful and at night it took your breath away. But best of all was how friendly Lonnie and Tessie were and I would seriously recommend you ask Lonnie to show you his magic tricks. They’ll confound you and best of all make you laugh; sheer magic! “

We came from Spain and we felt almost we were at home. Perfect rooms & typical american breakfast and the best of all, Lonnie & Tessie were very kind with us. Thanks for all

"A little gem - suitable for families" 7/27/2008 Stayed On: 7/2008

Our family of four including two teenage daughters ( see their separate review ) stayed at Jersey City's B&B between 15-19 July 2008. Lonnie & Tesi were excellent hosts ; accommodation great for a family - we took the King & suite which was very adequate for our requirements. Lonnie gave us useful advise & assistance on things to see & do in New York. Lonnie went out of his way to assist us on our departure, after our taxi to Newark airport let us down, as he drove us to the airport in his own car. Thanks Lonnie. We would definately stay here again - much quieter and homely than staying in Manhattan in a hotel.
