Question: Hi there, I am traveling to New York city for the upcoming July 4 weekend. Can you suggest any hotels outside NYC that have a free shuttle to New York city? I see a big price difference in staying in within NYC and out of the city. Do any of the hotels near the airports offer a free shuttle into the city or do I have to take a cab? I need recommendations on where to stay. I may be coming with Amtrak, but its not finalized.

Answer: If you are coming via Amtrak, you can book at the Hilton in Woodbridge, NJ. The Hilton is at an easy walking distance of the Amtrak Metropark train station. From there, you can commute into the city by New Jersey Transit trains that run regularly throughout the day and evening. The Hilton’s weekend rates are quite good, particularly in comparison with hotels in Manhattan. It also works well if you’re driving, as the hotel is just off Exit 131A of the Garden State, and has free parking.
