💦 Andaz 5th base suite or Hyatt Regency Jersey City Hudson River suite?🔥

If you often need to work overtime or meet clients during your business trip, prioritize options closer to the office so you can save commute time for rest. Also, check how convenient the area around the hotel is—for example, whether there are easy dining options when you get back at night.

For commuting to Manhattan for work, the Jersey City option is more practical—a half-hour commute each day beats walking for 30 to 40 minutes.

If daily commute predictability is a top priority, Jersey City can be a good fit—provided PATH service is reliable and your office is close to WTC or 33rd Street. Otherwise, transfers plus walking can add up to more than 30 minutes, and timing can vary even more in bad weather or during the evening rush.

When you mentioned Andaz is a 30–40 minute walk, is that the actual walking distance or just an estimate? The north–south avenues in Midtown Manhattan can feel quite different when you're actually walking them, so it might be worth checking the specific route from that address to the office.

Do the two hotels have different cancellation policies? If my business trip plans change, which one is more flexible?

Staying in Jersey City for a business trip comes with a hidden cost: PATH fares run just over $5 a day round trip, which adds up over a week, and evening trains may run less frequently. If your office is near 33rd Street or the WTC, the impact is smaller; but if it's on the east side, that last stretch on foot or with a transfer will noticeably lengthen your commute, and the real-world gap from staying at the Andaz won't be as big as it looks on paper.
