We spent weeks trying to find available lodging within our budget for a trip to Manhattan and finally found it here. This was not the typical New England style antique-filled, historic home B & B. It was better in so many ways. We were a little wary at first about staying in New Jersey and hassling transportation into the city each day. But no worries. The Path train runs 24 hours/day, and the walk to the train station was fast, easy and safe, even at 1:00 in the morning! On the evening of our arrival, our flight was delayed so we didn't arrive by taxi until 1:30 in the morning...despite the time, Rafael was there to greet us and help with our luggage and this is something you wouldn't find at other B & Bs. We stayed in the King room the first night, and the remainder of our stay in the upstairs Suite. Very comfortable beds, plenty of room to spread out, gorgeous view of NYC skyline from the suite balcony, both for morning sunrise and the city lights at night. Breakfast at the communal dining table was cooked to order, with a variety of choices, and afforded us interesting conversation with Lonnie, the owner, and other guests from Argentina, Utah, and California. One of the nicest touches was having complimentary bottled water and soda in our fridge to take with us for sightseeing each day. Because the inn had no vacancy for our last night in Manhattan, we were able to use the free in-room internet/computer/telephone to make numerous calls and searches for alternative lodging for our final night, at no extra charge. What a lifesaver that was. And when we were ready to check-out, Rafael drove us to the other hotel to drop off our luggage and then took us to the Path train station, saving us the cost of 2 cab rides!! That's amazing service for you!!! We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Jersey City B & B to anyone looking for great service and comfortable lodging at a truly affordable price.

I stayed for a week at the end of October and had a very enjoyable time. The room was very neat and nice and contained all sorts of useful extras - internet, iron, fridge, microwave etc -and Rafael and Lonnie were excellent hosts. Unfortunately, I'm not much of an early-morning eater, which was a shame, as the breakfast spread could feed a small army! For anyone wanting to spend their days in New York, but are limited in their budget. the JC B & B is ideal. It's way cheaper than any equivalent in Manhattan and the core of the Big Apple is only a 15-minute subway jorney away from the local PATH station. I'll definitely be back. Best wishes, Fraser, Scotland.

We stayed 10 days and it was the best deal we ever got at any B and B we ever stayed at. Not only were the rooms clean and comfy, but the breakfast was truly the best we ever had at a B and B. I don't know how you are able to charge such a reasonable rate for the 5 Star quality that you gave us. Thank you Lonnie and Rafael for making our visit with you such a memorable experience. Not only will we be back next year, but we will also be sending many of our friends to you too. And that massage chair was so nice to use every day after our long walks in NYC. Thanks again Tony and Mary from Texas

What a wonderful first week we had with Lonnie and Raphael at Lonnie's Jersey City B and B. It really is a home away from home. The friendly service you receive from the first moment you meet them, makes you feel so welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast was superb, the rooms are so comfortable, with everything you could possibly wish for. Our two boys were able to get on the internet every day and communicate with their friends, all about the amazing sights they were seeing each day. We were often given a lift up to the Path station and then an easy 25 mins into Manhatten by Path train. We used to walk back or catch a cab for about $5.00.It's nice to walk up after breakfast, then you can buy stuff in the shops on the way !! The coffee shop at Journal Square is also nice for a quick pizza, before heading back to the B and B for some nice coffee or tea in your room. We had fresh fruit daily and the fridge was always stocked with cool drinks for the boys. We will definitely stay at Jersey City's B and B again, the boys are already saving. Thank you very much Lonnie for your wonderful hospitality, a rare gem in a jewel of a city ! Kathy and Chris Savage Cape Town South Africa.

I stayed again for the 2nd time on the 25th of September 2009 and I thought the host and the B & B were great first time I stayed earlier this year but again, they did more for us than I could immagine and the rooms and service were second to none. This is the only B and B I will ever stay at in the NJ and NYC area. Many thanks Lonnie

I stayed for more than three months in Lonnies B&B.Before I spent many hours to find a accommodation with affordable room rates.It was impossible.Always it was the same one room for 150-200$ per night.When I found a cheaper accommodation was it always with shared rooms and shared bathrooms.It was a coincidence when I found Lonnies B&B.I wrote him an E-mail and made my reservation.It was the best thing that could happen to me.I was so surprised when I saw my room.There was a tv, a fridge, a micro wave, an iron, a telephone with an own number and answering machine and a computer with internet access and printer.For me it was very helpful to had a computer with printer because I printed out many documents for the english school I visited during this three months.The room was always VERY clean and Beena and Rafael stocked daily my fridge with free soft drinks.Rafael prepared every day a delicious breakfest.When Lonnie was available he gave me many times a ride to the PATH train at the Journal Square.For me it was a second home far away from my home.I like to think back to this time.It was a really nice time with you guys.Thank you very much Lonnie, Beena, Rafael and boys Jessie and Johnesson. To summarise: To book a room in Lonnies B&B is one of the best things that can happen to you in New. York. Daniel from Switzerland

Words cannot adequately express my great appreciation for the fine hospitality extended during my recent stay at this B&B. It was my first stay at a B&B, and this host went beyond the call to make it one of my most enjoyable stay. Lonnie was most hospitable, shared not only his time and knowledge of the area, but in a most welcomed way—something I will always remember of this trip. I will definitely look forward to a return. His facilities and staff were great. I just completed a cross Atlantic cruise on the Queen Mary 2 and the rooms at this B&B were larger and better equipped the cabins on the QM2.

The accommodation and breakfast were exactly what we wished for. Well done Lonnie and staff, you are doing a fantastic job.

absolutely perfect, from the begining to the end ! The rooms: we slept in the king size room. The king size bed was really comfortable, and the Tvs were really neat: the giant one was realy cool with its hundreds of channels, and the other had english subtitiles, which came really handy for us, foreign tourists. I can't think of anything wrong... really fantastic ! After a full day visiting New York, we couldn't wait to go home to rest in this really welcoming place ! the service was awesome. Everyone was really kind and nice, and made this journey even greater ! Lonnie, Rafael were adorable! The cleanliness was as good as possible. And the breakfast : even better then in hotels. Pancakes, waffles, fresh fruit salad, it was always yummy and delicious. We had a great time back there. We really recommand this place ! Charlotte and Sandrine, from France

We stayed 5 days while vacationing for the first time in New York. This was the perfect home away from home and provided a comfortable and quiet place to stay. Drinks, bottled water and fresh fruit was in our room daily. The path train was a very convenient and inexpensive way to get to Manhattan and a 10 minute walk from the B&B. Breakfast each day was well prepared and generous. We were well taken care of and very happy with our stay. We highly recommend Jersey City B&B!

We stayed with Lonnie at Jersey City B&B in April 09. What a great place to stay! Everything that you would want or need was available. The room was spacious and very clean with fab extras such as a mini bar full of soft drinks that was stocked daily at no extra charge and fresh fruit. In our room we had a PC with printer and full internet access and full cable for the TV including movies etc. Beena (housekeeping) was fab, she was filling in for the cook when we stayed and did a marvellous job! Her egg concoction was just fab! Housekeeping is daily at the B&B and the standards are second to none, fab job Beena! Lonnie is really helpful and always available for advice and even a ride to the PATH train! To summarise - book it, you won't be disappointed, we loved it and were sorry when our time came to move on. Fab job Lonnie and Beena, keep up the good work - hopefully we'll see you soon!!

This B&B made for the most perfect accommodations on our recent boyfriend/girlfriend visit to NYC. We loved our room on the top floor and felt so taken care of by our hosts Lonnie and Rafael. They had great tips for our subway/path transportation and terrific ideas for places to visit. While Rafa's delicious breakfast prepared us for each day, it was the surprisingly massage chair we especially liked the most. What a treat! Our stay could not have been better nor the location more perfect, we where only 10 mins walking distance from Journal Square, and from there in 10 minutes we arrived at the World Trade Center site. It was very easy for first timers like us. Ernesto from Argentina.

We had a wonderful time at the B&B was very clean and beautifully presented. There were quite a few shops, Cafes, Lounges and restaurants nearby at Journal Square and Grove Street that we really liked! When I wanted to go to Manhattan it was very easy and fast and in the same subway station I took the 33th street sub that leaves me just 6 blocks from Times Square and runs 24hrs. The house made breakfasts were delicious and his knowledge of Manhattan was really helpful. Talking to the other guests was fascinating and was always full of wonderful people coming in&out. They speak fluent Spanish to that was a plus for me, I really felt like home, can’t wait to return!! After those long walks in Manhattan we came back really tired and my wife and I really liked using the free fancy massage chair when we got back to your place.

When we arrived Lonnie was so very gracious in sharing tips on the city and even driving us to the train station! The Path train is very cheap and an easy way to get to Manhattan. Tessie was also so sweet and had our breakfast ready for us each morning whenever we asked. The room was so cozy, it honestly felt like staying with family. You cannot find this kind of deal at a hotel. I couldn't have asked for a better price and experience for NYC at Christmas no doubt. Thanks Lonnie and Tessie. ~ Crystal & Matt

I usually stay in Manhattan. Once you add the cost of Parking, the cost is just too expensive. I was looking for a alternative and I found an excellent one with this place. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about a B&B in Jersey City, but after staying here, I'll never go back to the city. The rooms and suites are huge by anyone's standard. I checked in and saw a nice size bedroom and was pretty happy with it. I didn't realize that I had a big living room to go with it as well. I had a private microwave/refrig. The refrig was stocked with different sodas, all included. A coffee making machine, not those little drip ones you see in hotels. TV with so many channels. Not only do you get all this, but it also includes a full breakfast and parking. They are a 10 minute walk to the Train Station that gets you into Manhattan in a matter of minutes. They even have a pinball machine and a incredible massage chair. I will never stay in the city again as long as they are open. Thank you for the hospitality.

Upon arrival, my beautiful girlfriend and I were greeted by the kindest gentleman. Our luggage was quickly hoisted into the back of his car and we were off to what would be a jaw-dropping experience. The first thing my girlfriend said when she saw our room was "Wow, look a that bed!!!" After an entire day of walking around New York and enjoying an incredible night on broadway, we were met by the plush ever so soft magic carpet that awaited us. That bed itself outweighs the cost of forty nights at Lonnie's place!!! There was nothing that this man would not do for us; and we have not even gotten to his wonderful assistant!!!! She made a breakfast like no other and spent time with my girlfriend and I, giving us a feeling of closeness and a friendly atmosphere!!! Jersey City Bed and Breakfast is without a doubt my favorite place to stay at of all time!!! definitly five stars and three diamonds!!! :) Sincerely, Alex and Roseline

We stayed in the Suite. This room was so great. We both loved the balcony with the super view of Manhattan and all the extra room in your spacious living room. And your King size bed was so comfortable that we slept like babies every night. You guys thought of everything, from the little things like Q-tips and mouthwash in the bathroom, to free sodas and a robe and iron and ironing board in our room also. YOU ARE BOTH THE BEST. We will recommend all our friends and family to stay with you, and already I know my brother-in-law will be calling you next week for a room sometime in February. They'll only be there for 5 days, but they're fun people just like us. And also, I want to let you know that all those amenities were amazing. Those special coffee packets were some of the best coffee I ever had. And having a microwave and a refrigerator in the room was great for snacks the following day after we got late night Chinese deliveries a couple of nights. And wow, not only did we have a computer with the internet in our room, but you gave us a printer and paper too. And we also loved having a water cooler in our room too! You take care now, and we shall see you again in a year or two from now. Ken and Theresa Peterson Iceland

From the time I arrived to the time I left, I felt at home. Just a 10 Minute walk to the Train, I was just 3 stops away from Manhattan. The rooms are big and comfortable. I decided to stay an extra night. I had to change rooms, but they made this as seemless as possible. Breakfast was great. Everything revolved around eggs, but the eggs were prepared differently each of the 3 days I was there. A working Pinball Machine was a added bonus. You are not limited to the 15 to 20 channels most hotel TVs has, but a full package of channels including most Premimum Channels. There is a computer in all of the rooms, so you do not have to bring one if it is not needed. Between Breakfast, Parking and Internet included in the price, it is the best deal I have found in the area. Thank you for the hospitality, Lonnie. I look forward to staying with you soon. J.

What else can I say to Lonnie & Tesi but thank you and thank you and thank you for a wonderful vacation. My wife and I are from England and we just spent 10 days at their place. We left there December 23rd. By the time we left we felt like we were part of the family. To start, I just wanted to especially thank Lonnie for offering us rides to the path train many mornings. Although we only took him up on his offer the two days it rained, it was very thoughtful of him to offer. My wife and I are real health fanatics and we just love to walk. It's only a half mile to get to the train and we always got there in ten minutes anyway. And once we arrived in the city we always walk a few extra miles a day besides! And Tesi thanks so much for all those great breakfasts. I love the way you always gave us a nice variety & there was always more then enough so that we were usually full till dinnertime. And everything was so immaculately clean all the time that it really made us feel at home because we keep our house in England very clean so your super cleaning lady everyday really made us very happy. And what a great value you are for the money. I see now why you won that award for best value at Bed and Breakfast for 2008-2009. And that three thousand dollar massage chair was absolutely unbelievable. It was so nice of you to let us use it every night after our long walks in the city. What else can I say? You are two wonderful people who really enjoy sharing your wealth of knowledge and your beautiful newly renovated home with everyone, and you thus made our visit to the United States one of our most memorable trips we have ever had.

We stayed here for 6 nights from 25 Oct to 31 Oct 2008. Lonnie and Tesi offer a very warm welcome. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Our "room" was actually 2 rooms, a bedroom with a king sized bed & a TV with cable. The other was a family room where our son slept. This room has a PC and printer with all the stationary anyone would require. There was a fridge which had complimentary drinks replenished daily, a coffee /tea machine, a microwave and another TV. Not least, this room offers an unrivaled view of Manhattan. Lonnie offered to drive us to the Path Train Station at Journal Square every morning. Tesi cooks breakfast every morning, at a time of your choice. Her food is delicious and she is great company.

We had been in NY for many times and stayed in different hotels. Frankly this is the best place we had ever stayed in New York [close]. It is very close to Manhattan, within 10-15 minutes by train, so location is perfect.

The inn keepars are very freindly, helpful and respectful people. If you go to New York or New Jersey, we can surely recommend to all new guests to this place.

We stayed here after staying 2 days at a hotel in a nearby city. We paid more at the hotel for a lot less ammenities. Getting into NYC was so much easier and a lot faster from Lonnie's place compared to the hotel. The breakfasts were plentiful and outstanding. I waited until 1pm to eat lunch, even though I had breakfast at 7:30am. I probably could have waited even longer. The bed was so comfortable and I had the best nights sleep of my short stay in the NYC area. Lonnie picked us up from the train station and brought us back when we went into NYC. He also brought us back the morning of our departure. The rooms were stocked with refreshements and plenty of fruit. I enjoyed the very plush bathrobe too.

I visited NYC alone and stayed 8 nights at B&B. It was like beeing at home. Warm and friendly atmosphare and the room was as big as a small apartment. Reasonable prices, free Internet access, fridge, microwave and, of course, TV. Nice people who really made great efforts to let you feel comfortable. Loonie gave me a ride each morning to the station and Tessie always made a fanciful breakfast. I also liked the talks at the breakfast table and I did not feel like beeing on my own. It just takes you 20 minutes by train to Manhattan and the train goes until midnight (and starts again at 5.00 a.m.) Even to walk from the station to the B&B in the evenings, I felt save all the time. I would highly recommend this place, especially for women travelling alone. Diana / Germany.

When I was planning my tour to NY/Manhattan - I decided to stay in Jersey City's B&B - Luck was with me - I could not have found a better place. On arrival Tess gave me a very welcome and introduced me to all the facitilities. I stayed there for 9 days. During this time i met people from Italy, South Africa, Holland, Germany, Sweden and I am from Denmark - 81 years Old. We all talked about how satisfied we were to stay in Jersey B&B in a family way. I walk every day to the Path Station very easy about 10 - 15 min away. When I saw the information about Jersey B&B I thought to myself - it is to good too be true, but in the reality it was even much better. The Breakfast was perfect and the room very very clean. The fridge was allways filled with Water, Cola and Sprite and fresh fruit in the Fruit Bowl. Also PC with high speed free internet access and TV with many channels in the room.

Jersey City B&B is simply THE place to stay if you're visiting the NY/NJ area. As a lone traveller, I was instantly made to feel at home. I stayed for 5 nights in the suite. The view is amazing. The room has all the facilities you need - a comfortable bed, air conditioning, a mini fridge which is stocked daily with drinks, coffee/tea making facilities, cable TV and internet access - great for keeping in touch with those back home. Lonnie & Tesi were the perfect hosts. I really enjoyed breakfast times, sitting around the table having a chat with them both and the other guests. Tesi cooked wonderful breakfasts - very filling, and Lonnie was more then willing to give me a lift to the PATH station, in fact he insisted on making sure his guests got there OK. The station is literally a 10 minute walk away. You can leave the B&B and be in Manhattan within 30 minutes. I should also mention Beena (I hope I've spelt your name right!). Beena welcomed me into the B&B after my long flight from the UK, showed me to my room, told me a bit about the area and how to get to the station and even cooked breakfast one morning, when Lonnie and Tesi were away. What a star she is! Had great conversations with her - what a credit she is to the B&B. I'm already looking forward to visiting NYC again, and will not hesitate to stay in Jersey City B&B again. My advice to anyone is, don't pay extortionate prices in Manhattan where you are just a number on a guest list, stay here for less and you will be treated as a friend. Chris. Manchester UK.

Lonie Thank you for your hospitality offered to us while visiting NewYork. Your travel tips on NY subways were invaluable. Transport to the subway station with our huge luggage was most appreciated And the breakfast, a million dollar job for the hungry boys, we will never ferget it, and can confidently recommend it to any visitors to NY.

We stayed in this B&B for a bit more than a week and enjoyed every minute. Lonnie was a very enthousiastic and helpful landlord and "sunshine" Tessi made the best breakfast we ever had, every morning a new surprise. The beds were big and comfortable, the room was cosy and lots of drinks in the fridge when coming home from a long long walk in the city. The train was a little bit further than we thought, but if Lonnie had time he brought us to the station. In every way a great place to recommand. Many many gratulations with your well earned AWARD!

My grown daughter and I have just returned to our home in Canada after spending eight nights in the home of Lonnie and Tesi. It was our first time staying in a B&B, as well as our first visit to NYC. Had we stayed in Manhattan, our visit would have been much shorter because of the very high cost of accommodation. As most of the reviews have mentioned, Lonnie and Tesi are wonderful hosts, the accommodations and amenities are fabulous and the location very convenient. I had some concerns about safety prior to our arrival simply because we were two women travelling alone. Lonnie reassured me that the area was safe. Indeed, my daughter and I did travel on the PATH train late at night and walked home from the station the first two nights. We would have continued to do so but the 12-14 hour days of walking caught up with us so we opted for the cab. In fact, never once in our nine days did we feel unsafe in NYC or Jersey City. I have already recommended Jersey City's B&B to a lady I met on the plane on the way home.

Hi, I'm from Germany and I'm travelling a lot, due to business purposes. I saw many hotels and other places to stay, but this Bed&Breakfast is the best, most valuable, most comfortable and best located place to stay all over the world. Lonnie and Tessie are some of the friendliest people I ever met. Thanks for that fantastic stay for a very great price. We were a party of four, rented two rooms at Jersey City B&B at the end of august: The rooms are very clean, big and comfortable. And there is everything you'll need: Drinks, fruits, coffee, wireless internet, PCs with printer and a fridge. Room Service (Cleaning) is great, too. The breakfast stands to higher european standards. The PATH station is just 5 min by car or 10 min to walk. From this station you'll need less than 10 min to arrive at Ground Zero or about 20 min to stand in front of the Empire State Building. It's a suberb location to stay, for a very nice price.

The Jersey B&B is ideal when you are coming from Newark airport. In less than half an hour you are in the residence. And in about 12 min from Journal Square (15 min walking from the residence) you are in the WTC area. Lonnie and Tessie are very kind people. They always want to help you. Tessie is a real sweetie and she is very generous for making a good European breakfast if you don't like the American breakfast, like I did. Thank you again Tessie! Lonnie helps you always with his tips and tricks and when he is free, he drives you to the subwaystation. The rooms are very comfortable; you have all what you need and more than that, even fruit, free drinks, free telephone in the US, free internet, free computeruse and printing, airco.... Let's say total complete service. I can advise you to take the suite. We stayed in the room with two beds and later in the suite. If this room is free, take this. It costs a little bit more, but you have a lot more of comfort (greater room). B&B is top and a very good place to stay!

It was the best decision to stay at Jerseys City B&B !The room was very big and set lovingly, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was excellent and delicious!!! We felt very well and the two were always nice and helpful and always did everything that every guest felt well. Always having drinks in the fridge and using the internet for free is a excellent service and i´ll guess you´ll nerver find such a service anywhere else. So as it is told at the homepage: we will come back !! ;-)) Toby and Yvonne / Hamburg-Germany

I come from Greece, and, dare I say, we do have our rather exacting ideas about hospitality. Just about any hotel I have been in, anywhere, regardless of price range, totally and completely lacks even traces of what hospitality is about. Thankfully, Lonnie's and Tessie's place is an exception. You are entering into their home, they take care of you, and things feel so right. I stayed there for four nights in mid June and wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else on my next trip. Your only excuse for not staying here is if they are booked... period.

I was blown away by the high prices of hotels in Manhatten. While searching for a bargain, I came across Jersey City B&B at bedandbreakfast.com. I have so much to say about my stay with Lonnie and Tess, because they made a positive impression on me. But, first a little about the accommodations at their Jersey City B & B: Their home is wonderful, with hardwood flooring, soft and comfortable beds, small fridges in every room stocked with beverages and fruit, laptops, phone calls and printers supplied at no extra charge, and great breakfasts! The price was more than reasonable for the convenience and comfort of the stay. I was given a good discount rate for 10 nights which averaged about $50 per night! I was so satisfied with my stay that I recommended the place to an actor friend of mine. Lonnie & Tess were gracious to send me a check as a thank you! It was a nice surprise. I come to NY at least twice per year, but this time was my first for NY Fashion Week. To save money, I had to cut corners in transportation by taking the Amtrak into the city. The train was 5 hrs late and when I got in at 1 am, Lonnie was at the station waiting for me! He carried my heavy luggage up the stairs to his car, took me to grab a bite to eat on the way to his home, and made sure I was settled into my room before he went to bed. The next morning, I met Tess, who is a great cook. We hit it off right away and each morning we had so much to talk about which made my stay even more enjoyable. Lonnie made sure I made the commuter train every morning and Tess made sure I had something to eat before I left for the day. She made breakfast according to my schedule which was very kind. At the end of my stay, Lonnie & Tess made sure everything was ready for me to go and gave me a warm farewell. I thank the couple for creating a warm and fond experience for me.

Everyone was really friendly and the atmosphere made for a lovely stay. Everyone there was helpful and the rooms were spotlessly clean. There was everything you could possibly want provided, no complaints about anything. Getting to Manhattan couldn’t be easer, as could getting to ferry points for Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, and getting to Newport Mall, all easily walkable, and/or the transit points very understandable. Defiantly recommend, I had an unforgettable holiday.

We stayed at the Jersey City B&B for the 3-day All Points West Festival and we were exceptional surprised at the accommodations. I have stayed in some dives on the Upper-upper east side (read Harlem) and some less than memorable places in Gramercy for comparable and higher prices and this was far better than any of those. I especially don't miss the strung out characters on the door step of the place on the upper-upper east side. When you get down to it, I can get to mid-town Manhattan from Jersey City in about 30 minutes which is similar to the time to get to mid-town from Harlem. Comparisons aside, Jersey City B&B is clean and beautifully remodeled - I really liked the bamboo. Our trip would not have been complete without meeting Lonnie who is such a great host and very hospitable such a great and to think we almost escaped without meeting him. He makes sure guests are not in need of anything and the small things make a difference. Not wanting to lug my computer with me, it was nice to be able to make reservations and look up directions from the computer provided. The view from the suite to Manhattan is bar none. Excellent choice.

I stayed with a friend at the "Jersey City's Bed and Breakfast" for one week, and I can only say, that this week was almost perfect! Everything is as it is described at the website, really everthing! Lonnie is a great innkeeper, very friendly and he really cares about his guests. Also the women who make the breakfast and clean the rooms are friendly and talkative and do a really good job. But now the reason why only "almost perfect": I don't know if it's normal in the US, but at breakfast we had scrambled eggs - every day. There have always been other things like waffles or gems with jelly, but every day we had eggs. We ate the eggs because they were really good but when we returned to Germany we didn't want to see any eggs for a long time. So this is my only point of critique: the missing variety at the breakfast. But despite that, our stay at "Jersey City's Bed and Breakfast" was just perfect, and next time I go to NYC, I will also stay with Lonnie! Thanks a lot, Lonnie and the girls!

I recently enjoyed a trip to New York City and electred to stay at Jersey City B & B. I am so happy I did. My family and I knew from the moment we arrived and met the owners that we had made a wise decision when planning our trip. Clean, posh, quiet, modern decor, delicious food and comfort comfort, comfort. It is everything listed on their site and more. Since my return, I have raved to all my family and friends about Jersey City B & B and would highly recommend it to anyone. I can't wait to stay there again.

We are two teenage sisters who stayed with Lonnie & Tessie from 14 -19 July ( our parents have sent a separate review but we wanted to do one of our own for other teenagers) . We were thoroughly looking forward to staying in New York, and Lonnie and Tessie’s was the perfect place for us to stay. Ellen says “I stayed in Lonnie and Tessie’s when I went to New York on vacation with my family. All the amusements like the video games and the pinball machine were very entertaining. The free internet access and the T.V with over 180 channels were good to have as well. Tessie’s breakfast were delicious and filled you for the whole day. I would definitely recommend that you should stay in Lonnie and Tessie’s. “ Sarah says “ Along with the amusements we had brought with us, the pinball machine, TV, computer and the other fun electrical gadgets kept us thoroughly entertained. The pinball machine was especially good fun and high scores were often compared. Tessie’s breakfasts were really nice and really filled us up for touring round New York all day. The view from the bedroom of New York was beautiful and at night it took your breath away. But best of all was how friendly Lonnie and Tessie were and I would seriously recommend you ask Lonnie to show you his magic tricks. They’ll confound you and best of all make you laugh; sheer magic! “

Our family of four including two teenage daughters ( see their separate review ) stayed at Jersey City's B&B between 15-19 July 2008. Lonnie & Tesi were excellent hosts ; accommodation great for a family - we took the King & suite which was very adequate for our requirements. Lonnie gave us useful advise & assistance on things to see & do in New York. Lonnie went out of his way to assist us on our departure, after our taxi to Newark airport let us down, as he drove us to the airport in his own car. Thanks Lonnie. We would definately stay here again - much quieter and homely than staying in Manhattan in a hotel.

We stayed at Jersey City's Bed and Breakfast for three nights. The owner picked us up at the train station and later drove us to Liberty Park, so we could catch the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Our well-stocked "suite" was clean and comfortable, a cooked breakfast was waiting for us at the time we wanted it and we had a computer in our room to use free of charge. All in all, we felt right at home and really appreciate how the owners made sure we were comfortable and welcomed. It is about a mile from the train into NYC which is not the most peasant walk but a quick/cheap cab ride away.

We recently stayed here in June 2008 and found it to be a very nice place. The rooms are very spacious and clean, with nice furnishings. They provide everything you could possibly need such as a laptop computer in your room, with internet and printer, complimenatry drinks and fruit in your room each day, hair dryer, shampoos, etc. This place has a very homey feeling to it that provides creates a relaxing atmosphere, without all the to-do of a big hotel chain. It's almost like you become a part of the family while your there. The owners were very friendly and more than helpful. You simply won't get this quality of accomodations at this price, staying in Manhattan. Definitely the better way to go when visiting New York; simply hop on the PATH train to get into Manhattan (takes about 20 min). As for our dining experience at breakfast, the dining table is well presented, but I think the breakfasts could be a little more creative, such as muffins, bagels, yogurt... Regardless, this is a great place, very quiet, good location, friendly people.

Finding appropriate accommodation while visiting New York for the first time felt a little daunting: convenience, cleanliness, safety, price were all concerns. We saw the reviews on the web and decided so many positive comments must give a decent picture of how things really are. Lonnie and Tess provide great hospitality in excellent accommodations at a very reasonable price. The two suites we stayed in were clean and spacious enough for the three of us- two adults, one teen. Each room was equipped with tv, computer, phone, fridge with beverages, a bowl of fresh fruit and - a necessity during the record June temperatures we experienced – an air conditioner. Obviously, staying outside of Manhattan is less convenient than staying in Manhattan but we felt comfortable taking the 20 minute walk to the station whose trains take you directly to midtown Manhattan or the World Trade Center. (Lonnie is often available for lifts to the station). Tess provided us with tasty and ample breakfasts and delightful conversation. Coming or going, early or late, we always felt at home. Our week-long visit to New York gave us many cherished memories - including our stay at Jersey City’s Bed and Breakfast.

I stayed here when I simply could not find affordable, decent accommodation in Manhattan. I have absolutely no complaints about the room. I stayed in the king room with shared bath and simply loved the convenience of an in-room computer and fridge, with water and soft drinks included. There was also a coffee/hot chocolate machine which was such a treat at the end of a long day. I did, however, re-affirm my dislike of a shared bathroom. Even though my room only shared with one other room, there happened to be 3 other people in that room and it was tough getting ready in the mornings with 4 people trying to get into the small bathroom. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. All in all, I loved the room and you really feel as if you are sharing a home with someone - so if you find hotels too impersonal, this should work for you.

When I first drove into Jersey City I was starting to get worried about how the bed and breakfast would compare to the not so accomidating landscape of the town; however, when I got to the bed and breakfast I was met by the very welcoming owner, Lonnie, and he showed us to our room which was beyond what I could have ever hoped for on any budget, let alone the outstandingly low price I was paying for it, a mere one hundred dollars a night. The room was immaculately clean and quaintly decorated, but this quantness did not pertain to the size of the room as well. The first room consisted of a giant bed and a big screen TV, which had the full package Comcast On Demand hooked up to it. The second room was even more spacious and had two closets, a very nice computer hooked up to high speed internet, a coffee maker, a large couch, a mini fridge, and yet another TV, not to mention the balcony which overlooks New York's skyline and gives a beautiful view at night when the city is alight. Did I mention the room was only one hundred dollars a night? A comparitive room in Manhattan would easily be three to four hundred dollars a night. With that price disparity it is very easy to pay the eight dollar Holland Tunnel fee each day to enter the city. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast and already have to multiple people who have yet to find a gem such as this to stay at.

We stayed for 10 days and it was a very good decision. After arrival at airport we phoned Lonnie and he advised how to go and at Journal Square (PATH station; about 15 minutes by foot) he picked us up to get us (and our luggage) to his place - very helpful. During our stay we felt like home, very famliar. Rooms were great - we appreciated air condition, ceiling fan, laptop (with printer and high speed internet access) and comfortable beds. The room was separated into two parts. On the one hand were beds, large TV and accessible wardrobe. On the other hand: desk with laptop, printer and microwave, fridge (beverages restocked daily) and basket of fruits. Bathroom was shared with one other party. Host people were very friendly, helpful and obliging. And, we got keys for the house, so we could come and go at anytime we would like to. As I allready said, we felt like home. If you would like to travel to NYC we very recommend to stay at Jersey City's Bed and Breakfast. And at least - price is very fair. Again, thank you very much.

The 2nd part there were 2 double beds, fitted wardrobes & a massive colour tv which had 100's of channels. The room & bedding were immaculate. Every morning at breakfast which you had to book in advance (only fair for Tessie otherwise it would be a very long day for her) i had omellete, toast, coffee, fresh orange juice and a selction of jams & yogurt were also available. while eating breakfast you had the wonderful tessie to talk to. When it was time to go sightseeing in New York Lonnie if available will take you to the Journal Square Path train station. There are 2 trains 1 takes you to World Trade Center the other to 33rd St (Empire State Building) to get back go to 34th St and get Path train back to Journal Square. to get back to Lonnie & Tessies get a taxi approx $7.00 this includes tip.

The hotel we stayed in NYC couldn't accommodate all the days we requested so my boyfriend and I decided to stayed at Jersey City B&B on our last night since we are flying home from Newark Airport. After days of non-stop walking in Manhattan it was so wonderful to arrive at Lonnie & Tesi's for so many reasons: 1. We slept like babies because the king size bed in our room on the top floor was so comfortable 2. We had a living room attached to our bedroom that was spacious and welcoming with refreshments and all nessarities (TV, Computer, Internet, Stationary etc.) 3. Our room also has a balcony that overlooking the beautiful Manhattan skyline 4. We were able to leave our luggages until late afternoon at the house after we checked out while we went to Statue of Liberty and watched a movie 5. Tesi's hearty breakfast was soooo yummy (Hot egg & Ham Omelette, yogurts, fruits, bread, crossiant, juice, coffee, tea; you name it they have it) 6. Best of all was Lonnie's assistance - we were stuck at Newport Mall because we couldn't find a taxi for 40 minutes - frustrated, desperate and running out of time to go to airport to catch our flight home, I called Lonnie. He was a life saver by picking us up without questions with our luggages already in his trunk so we can get to the airport on time. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to stay with Lonnie & Tesi's especially if you are going to be in NYC for a longer period of time. Because besides what they have to offer, price is extremely affordable and it is just a 30 mins ride (including PATH train & taxi) from heart of Manhattan. Thanks again for everything. Peggy & James

We had lived in Jersey City for four years and our interest peaked when we saw a B&B located in JC. We just HAD to try it! Although this B&B is not super close to public train transport (there are buses right there to take you to the train if you're lazy... but, it's an easy walk that's part of the whole NYC/JC experience...), this B&B was an absolute find! Great comfort, ample food, great price and the best: Lonnie and his wife's hospitality-- so nice and accommodating. Lonnie's a local and his down-to-earth demeanor and knowledge of the area are not only of great help if you're a tourist, but he's got the local accent and attitude to go with it that'll make your trip complete. We really enjoyed our stay there a lot and would recommend it to others without hesitation.

After first spending several nights in a large hotel in midtown Manhattan, we really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and warm hospitality that we experienced at the Jersey City B&B. Our family of 7 (parents, 3 kids, and grandparents) found Lonnie and Tessie’s B&B to be a wonderfully affordable, family friendly place to stay. Free cold drinks and fruit, in-room internet access with printer, and the short car ride to Journal Square Station (where we hopped on a PATH train to Manhattan for $1.75 on the Metro Card) were just a few of the amenities we enjoyed. Lonnie provided great travel and dining tips and Tessie was so kind to pack us fresh breakfast muffins on the morning when we had to leave early for the airport. We highly recommend this B&B!

Because we have stayed in NYC for 14 days, we chose to stay with Lonnie and Tesi basically because of a very competitive price. The value of this Lonnie’s offer has exceeded our expectation. The house is newly refurbished. Authentic Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup prints (circa 1972) in the dinning room, as well as, another beautiful authentic print in the bedroom we have stay in, were a tremendous bonus! A suite we have stayed in had real king size bed with an extremely comfortable mattress! It was so important after 12 -14 hours of walking in the City. Nice linen, very clean room, Huge TV- with a free on demand. Magnificent!!!Great view of the Manhattan from the balcony!! Wonderful breakfasts, everyday different, our favorite omelets served up to the minute, so do not be late for breakfast, as it will be cold. (Sorry Tesi for requesting first few breakfasts at 6.30AM - jet lag). In the room - free coffee, tee, hot chocolate, free mini bar, free wifi, and a computer. We stayed for 14 days in the City, out of which only 10 with Lonnie and Tess, as there was no vacancy. They are filling quickly so I suggest make up your mine quickly. At the morning ask Lonnie to give you a ride to waterfront of Jersey City. Take a walk from Colgate Clock along the waterfront and have another view of the Manhattan. Walk to Exchange station of the PATH train and go one stop to WTC. I also recommend doing the same on the other side of the Manhattan, through the Brooklyn Bridge taking a walk to Brooklyn Heights. Have fun!

We Stayed here for about ten days and were really amazed about what we found. Big and appetizingly breakfast including scrumbled eggs, muffins, fruits and more, a room with TV, computer, fridge... Super hosts and even sometimes a ride to the station! thank you!

The owner and staff are amazing. They cater to your every need. It is not about how they run their B & B, it is about how they want to relax and enjoy NJ and NYC. Every morning the breakfasts were filling, the living areas clean, and personal attention outstanding. You have privacy, but when you need help or anything they are there.

Lonnie & Tessie offer hospitality that exceeds any we have experienced in years of staying at B & B's. They made our visit to NYC very comfortable. the wonderful breakfast, good location and great directions from Lonnie were appreciated very much. We look forward to a return visit.

There is no reason to stay anywhere else if you're visiting the area. Lonnie and Tessie are friendly and hospitable while the rooms and service will undoubtedly exceed your expectations, all at great value. I wouldn't hestitate to go back and will be recommending this place to everyone who I know will be in the area.

It was a pleasure to stay at the Jersey City B&B. The room was lovely with on demand TV and we had a PC with Internet access. The guys cooked us a wonderful breakfast, scrambled eggs done to perfection, bagels, fresh fruit and the list goes on. The neighborhood seems safe and Manhattan is a short train ride away. The train station is a walk away but we did not find it too far and you arrive at the World Trade Center which is in Manhattan so we found it convienient. What I loved best about the Jersey City B&B was the people though the room was lovely and the food was great. Lonnie and his family are just absolutely wonderful and it felt like we were staying with friends. We will definately stay here again when we come to NY.

This is the best value you can get in the NYC area. I travel to NYC often and I will not stay anywhere else. Stop looking for a better deal. This is it. Great room, in room coffee, sat tv, wifi, parking, close to the Path, this place has it all.

I stayed with Lonnie and Tessie for a week in January 08, and to say they make you feel very welcome is an understatement! They picked me up from Newark Airport for a very resonable cost, and the house itself is immaculate! I had a room on the top floor, with a very comfortable bed, huge TV with Cable, fridge with drinks (free!), fresh fruit (free!), hi speed internet and laptop (free!), and a lovely big bathrobe to slob around in :o) Tessie does an outstanding breakfast that really sets you up for the day, and Lonnie was very helpful with rides to the PATH train station and ideas on where to go and what to visit. Its only a few minutes drive to the Path station, but even if you walk it only 10-15 mins. The neighbourhood is quite, and I didn't feel worried about walking back from the station at all. From the PATH statiopn, its only 15 mins maximum into Manhatten, so Jersey City B&B is an excellent base for a trip to the City. Amazing value, great food, lovely company and hospitallity.....what more could you ask for! Thanks for a great time L&T, it really made my trip!! PS Lonnie, have you got that massage chair yet ;o)

Very friendly, quiet and...economical My wife and I are French and 65 five years old. For our first visit to NYC, we were slightly worried when arriving to Lonnie's after a long taxi drive through the huge town. But our accommodation was so pleasant with a complete, very clean and comfortable equipement and Lonnie and Tesi so kind and anxious to help their guests for any problem that our fear disappeared at once. And, after a good night and a lavish breakfast, we started gladly to discover Manhattan. And we spent then 5 really pleasant days. Note that it is very easy to go from Jersey City to Manhattan by train: 15 mn on foot to the station (but Lonnie drove us many times); 10 mn after, you arrive in the middle of Financial District(South Manhattan) or near the Empire State Building in Midtown.

My wife and I were amazed at the hospitality and the quality of this bed and breakfast. Even if you are somewhat new to staying in this scenery, the inn keep not only make you feel at home, they also make sure you realize that you are there to relax and have a wonderful time.

My Stay was nice in Jersey City B&B, Lonnie and Stessie are nice people, the place is very clean and well structured to make you feel that you have not left home, yes it is a homy environment more than a formal one. The breakfast Stessie made was very delicious. each room is supplied with computers and internet connection with a printer. Lonnie was ready all the time to take me to the train station without hesitation or delay. Lonnie can be used as a tourist guide as well, since he gives good recommendations about the possible places to visit. thank you

I recently stayed at Lonnie and Tessi's B&B with my 7 year old daughter. Our sightseeing trip to NYC went off without a hitch because of the accommodations and the hospitalites that Lonnie and Tessi extended while we were there. It was a great place to come home to after a long day exploring the city. The PATH train was close and within 30 minutes you can be to Times Square/Broadway area.. Our room was the top floor with the balcony, with great view of the skyline. Rooms were very clean and the home is a in a quiet neighborhood. I'll be checking your availability when I return to NYC again... our stay at your place made our trip to NYC a wonderful memory!

I spent seven days in Lonnies BandB and it was an awesome stay. I never expected that outstanding rooms. It was alwayse clean and very friendly. To the PATH train which leaves every 15min to Manhatten, the walking distance is 10min but mostly Lonnie gave us a ride for free. I recommend this B and B to everybody and I would prefer to stay there than in a hotel.

The rooms were very good, comfortable and spacious with a separate computer and internet access for each room. Each day was started with a first rate breakfast. But it was our hosts (Lonnie and Tessi) that have made New York seem like one of the most friendly and welcoming places I've ever been, they made our trip what it was. When I come back to New York I'll be making sure that they have room for me before I book my flights. Thanks for having us

We have had a great experience with the very friendly hosts Lonnie and Tessi! They served a huge breakfast every morning at the time preferred. Lonnie gave us a ride to the nearby PATH-station "Journal Square" every morning. The B&B is located in a quiet street, only 8-10 minutes walk to the PATH, which brings you to Manhatten in another 10 minutes or so. We stayed four nights in the ground level room with a private bath room, our own computer incl. high speed internet access, a large TV and a comfortable King Size Bed. Everything was very clean and cosy, so we would go there again at anytime! Thanks again for everything, guys!!!
