Go to the section for "East Coast departures" and you will be able to get a lot of good info.

The East Coast Departures board is here:

When you post over there, you might want to define "best". Budget? Location? Amenities? Hotel chain? Stars? "Best" means many different things to different people.

Yes, you should check the 'East Coast Departures' board, but once there do a search for "Country Inn & Suites". They have a great setup for cruisers - a shuttle from the Newark Airport, a hotel room with breakfast, and a shuttle to the port. They also have a parking package if you drive to the port. If your ship returns to Bayonne, they'll pick you up and take you to the airport. There's a restaurant right next door for dinner (OK, not much, a Ruby Tuesday, but convenient).

 

When we stayed there, boarding for our ship was delayed due to a deep cleaning necessitated by a norovirus outbreak on the previous cruise. The hotel delayed the shuttle until we were told to board, and allowed us all to hang out in their breakfast room, with snacks & drinks, until time for the shuttle. The hotel itself is basic, clean & comfortable, but dated, but they really cater to cruisers and do an excellent job of it.
