Hotel suggestions- Cape Liberty

[#1BradyFan]

We will be arriving via: Amtrak to Newark airport on Friday

9/16/16 around 1:00 PM.

2 adults- minimal luggage.

Can you please recommend a hotel that has shuttle from the airport and possibly to the Cape Liberty port? or would a taxi be best?

We would like someplace clean with a bar or pub where we could grab a bite to eat- nothing fancy required. :D

We do not need any return transportation.

Thanks!!

What is your hotel budget? Beds - King, Queen, double? Transportation budget? Is walking to nearby restaurant/bar OK? Is public transit an option?

 

Did you buy your Amtrak tickets already?

short walking distance is ok.

I would prefer not to use public transit.

No- Amtrak tix not purchased yet.

That's not much money for an EWR hotel tax included. You can get a hotel, but you will pay $55-65 to get to the port. Does that work for you?

I already have a reservation at doubletree Hilton for $125 tax included.

Was just wondering if there were any hotels out there that also offered port transportation. and I have no idea what a taxi would be from there....

I'm getting the impression that you are trying to be as frugal as possible.

 

For port transportation contact these folks:

Independent driver - 888-816-0973

inde.drvr@gmail.com

 

No web site, no frills.

 

Your price for the Doubletree is excellent. For comparison look at LastMinuteTravel.com at the Ramada, which is next to the Doubletree. This is $120 with "breakfast buffet" whatever that is. The Ramada offers Teddy's Sports bar which might be more of the pub atmosphere you are looking for.

 

Another question - why are you planning to arrive on Amtrak at 1 pm? There is absolutely nothing to do at most EWR hotels - you are pretty much trapped there until the next day.

I guess frugal is a good word!

 

I only have 2 train options...arrive at 1 or 7. I prefer to be there early and relax. As long as there is a bar and we can have a couple drinks then we will be good! :D

 

Thanks for your help!
