Sonesta Simply Suites Jersey City
7 mi from Cape Liberty Cruise Terminal
21 2nd St, Jersey City, NJ 07302
About this hotel
On 2nd St by Harborside, a short walk from Newport PATH and 15-25 minutes to the pier. Recently refurbished under the Sonesta conversion. Full kitchens and $25 parking make it the cheapest sensible waterfront night before a cruise. Adequate. All-suite, 214 rooms, kitchens with dishwashers and ice makers. Watch out: rebranded from Candlewood Suites in 2026, so older reviews describe a different hotel; no cruise parking and no port shuttle.
