hotels at the airport are nice but pricey cause they r at the airport. I can't think of any "nice" hotels in Elizabeth. Theres a brandie new Hampton INN in Linden that is only 1 mile from the Linden train station. Dont know if they have an airport shuttle but cab should only be $30 from the airport.

call me if you wanna chat offline.

The hotel I found in Elizabeth was this one:

Four Points By Sheraton Newark Airport
The Four Points Sheraton is a first class hotel, located 1/4 mile from Newark Airport and 15 minutes from downtown Newark. The hotel is convenient to all major thoroughfares. The hotel features clean, comfortable, nicely decorated guest rooms that are well appointed. The staff is eager to cater to your every need. The hotel is minutes to fine dining, shopping and entertainment.
$90/night



Do I have your cell number?

Yep its one by the airport. (very skanky "Cafe" just down the street called LOOKERS -walking distance- ...so it might be right up your ally. lol) If I remember correctly that might be the one with the 3" bullet proof glass surrounding the front desk. Usually not a good sign. I would check out pictures on their website or call them before booking. They should have a shuttle to the airport, there are busses from the airport to NYC or Newark Penn station is a 10 min taxi ride from there. Or you can take the monorail from the airport terminals to the Airport train station (NJ-Transit).

Other close Clean Motels are the "Swan Motel" and the "Benedict" in Linden. Although they do have figure 8 tubs and jacuzi's they also have regular hotel rooms. Also, The Hampton Inn is only 3 miles south of the airport and in a large shopping center with couple restaurants, Target, Home depot, Annie Sez, Anenue, lol.

# is in my profile.

Elizabeth and Liden. How are these two cities?

Those are part of the industrial areas that make NJ infamous.

Check this site:
http://www.njexpocenter.com/Hotels.html

These places are in the Raritan Center which is a nice Convention Center. There is no public transportation to NYC in the Convention Center, but it is very close to Ratzo in S.I. and it is in between Ratzo's place and Trax70.

You can book a room in this nice hotel for about $127 a night:

This Hilton is in the same Convention Center and you can book there for $119.
http://www.hiltongardeninn.com/en/gi/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=EWRRCGI

All of these places are about 4 miles from the Edison and Metuchen train stations, both with train service to NYC. Taxis are available to take you from the Hotels to the train.

Raritan center is 3-4 blocks from the first hotel I suggested and all are literally just down the street from me.

I'll have a car do driving to and from the train station won't be a problem at all as I'm sure the train station has parking of some sort. So long as Eddy doesn't have a problem with the Taxi/Shuttle/Train fare then we should be ok. The hotel will run $95.00 per night.

Edison sounds like a plan.
Just get here and we'll figure poop out later.

Driving directions here. :)
 
How far is it from Edison to the the party, I mean the city?
I like you guys but the real reason I'm going is to get a watch. I dont want a 3 hour train ride with 12 transfers to get to Time square nor the same at 4am trying to get home when I'm trashed.
