At the Sheraton, I pulled a rate of $126.65 with the AAA discount (was preferring to pay the extra $10 a night to keep the rate from not being pre-paid, in case of bad weather, and the trip being postponed.)

We won't mind staying over in NJ if it will be worth it cost and comfort, as long as it is easy to connect to NYC using rail, within a distance of say, 20 minutes or so.

Any better suggestions?

If we're staying in NYC, then it would be nice to be close to "everything", because she wouldn't want to use the MTA tickets. lol I have to argue with her to let me pay for and get her on the T in Boston. She'd rather walk across the city.
please avoid the sheraton lincoln harbor....if you don't mind staying in jersey then there is the w hoboken....you can easily get to manhattan using the ferry....i had a stay here a few months ago for under $150....both the four points are pretty decent properties....you can also try the sheraton manhattan or sheraton towers....both the sheratons are in a great location but the quality of your stay can range from good to bad depending on the type of room you get....then there is the w on lexington ave....i have managed to get rooms here for around $200 on a number of occasions....a lot of people don't like this hotel but i have always had good stays here....
