Stayed at the W Hoboken this past weekend, this is a property I stayed at last year as well and once again an amazing stay. The views of Manhattan are simply amazing and I personally consider this to be my favorite W and among my favorites when it comes to Starwood properties.
W Downtown had a lower rate, but in the end I stuck to the W Hoboken and I will be staying here again for future NYC stays. PATH station is only a pleasant 5 minute walk so I consider it to be convenient even if it's outside the city.
