Indiana to NYC Pier

We are a family group arriving on June 2 for the June 4 sailing of The Gem. A few months ago, I read that staying in Secaucus was a good idea. The hotel offered free parking and we could catch the nearby bus to Port Authority. Is this still a good option for us? Is there any place a little further out that still has good access to public transportation to PO? I am trying to avoid NJ congested traffic as much as possible. Is Secaucus easy to get to from Rte 3? Or is there a better suggestion? Thanks for all your help.

Secaucus hotels are very easy to get to from route 3, and then it's 5 miles or so to the Lincoln tunnel. Traffic gets worse as you get closer to the city, but it's not too bad at off times.

There are a couple of hotels in Lyndhurst that are right by a bus stop that heads to Port Authority. The Quality Inn, Courtyard and Renaissance are all in one area. Still right off route 3, and the traffic should be minimal on a Saturday. There a Medieval Times right there too.

I assume Lyndhurst is a nice area? Is it the same exit as Secaucus?
