Recent Westin Newport Review: "Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Hotel zu einem ordentlichen Preis. Alles neu, alles sauber. Der Blick aus dem groAŸen Fenster war traumhaft, A¼ber den Hudson River nach Manhattan. DafA¼r muss das Zimmer aber auf der richtigen Seite liegen - ich glaube, die Zimmer auf der anderen Seite haben nur Blick auf ein deutlich hA¶heres Hochhaus und somit  gar keinen Blick auf die Skyline von Manhattan. Super Entdeckung: Die Badeserie vom Westin "White Tea Aloe". Zum GlA¼ck kann man die Produkte auch in groAŸen GefA¤AŸen A¼ber das Internet kaufen! Einziges Manko: Wir wollten an dem Samstag - unserem einzigen Tag dort (bei 2 NA¤chten) - rA¼ber und Manhattan anschauen. Wir dachten, mit der U-Bahn wA¤re eine gute, schnelle und gA¼nstige Idee. Leider hat uns der Empfang, den wir nach der U-Bahn-Verbindung nach Manhattan fragten, nicht gesagt, dass am Samstag die eine Linie gar nicht fA¤hrt. Wir haben die Station schnell gefunden, haben dann aber rund 15 Minuten allein vor dem Fahrkartenautomaten gestanden und alles mA¶gliche versucht, um herauszufinden, welche Fahrkarten wir brA¤uchten und wie wir sie bezahlen kA¶nnten - es funktionierte alles nicht so recht. Wir haben schlieAŸlich irgendwelche Karten erstanden, von denen ich bis heute nicht weiAŸ, ob das die richtigen waren... Dann haben wir die nA¤chste halbe Stunde in der leeren U-Bahn-Station gestanden. Sehr unheimlich, uralt, total verkommen und dreckig dort. Als doch eine Bahn einfuhr - auf dem gegenA¼berliegenden Gleis - entstand ein Windsog, der uns und unsere Taschen fast weggerissen hA¤tte. Und der LA¤rm, als die Bahn einfuhr, war unbeschreiblich. Unsere kleinen Kinder bekamen einen riesigen Schock und klammerten sich verA¤ngstigt an uns. SchlieAŸlich trafen wir doch noch eine Person dort unten und fragten die, wann denn endlich eine Bahn nach Manhattan kA¤me. Der freundliche Herr erklA¤rte uns, dass diese Linie nicht am Samstag fA¤hrt und wir das Gleis wechseln mA¼ssten. Von dort mussten wir erst in die eine Richtung fahren, konnten aber in"

Overview
When you stay at the Westin Jersey City Newport, you'll enjoy easy access to Manhattan attractions, plus all the amenities you love in an upscale hotel--from an indoor pool to top-notch dining to spacious rooms with super-comfortable beds. So you'll get a 4-star experience, right across the Hudson River from Manhattan--for less than a comparable NY hotel. Just 1 block from the Westin, 2 PATH train lines travel to Manhattan: one to SoHo and northward to Midtown, the other to the World Trade Center area in Lower Manhattan.

You can reach 2 other major destinations--the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island--without even going to NY. A light-rail station right outside the Westin provides access to New Jersey's Liberty State Park. Once you've arrived (about a 20-minute ride), walk 15 minutes to the ferry terminal for a trip to Lady Liberty or Ellis Island, with fantastic views along the way. The park is also home to the popular Liberty Science Center. Love to shop or just need to pick up a few essentials? The Newport Centre Mall adjoins the hotel.

Pleasant surprises await at this modern, smoke-free Westin. The staff is friendly and gracious--no snooty pretentiousness here! Talk to the concierge for expert advice on the best of Jersey and the Big Apple. Unwind in the indoor pool and spa tub, where a wall of windows and a skylight bathe you in natural light. Or keep up with your fitness routine in the state-of-the-art gym. When it's time to dine, visit the elegant Fire & Oak restaurant, serving grilled fare and other favorites from late morning till late night. The Half Moon Lounge is open from breakfast time till late evening. The Westin offers a host of conveniences, too: 24-hour room service, a 24-hour business center, and hotel-wide Wi-Fi (surcharge).

And those Westin Heavenly Beds--pure bliss! The pillowtop mattress is layered with a down blanket, plush duvet, and 5 plump pillows. Before you drift off to dreamland, watch an HBO show on the 37-inch LCD HDTV. A clock radio with an iPod dock is bedside. Wireless and wired high-speed Internet access is available for a surcharge. Your room also features the Westin Heavenly Bath, with a refreshing dual showerhead.

Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty are within the boundaries of Jersey City. Library Science Center, an interactive science museum, is a popular tourist attraction. Colgate Clock and the Goldman Sachs Tower are the city’s architectural greats.
