WHO IT`S FOR
Cruise travelers first: sleep 10 minutes from the Cape Liberty terminal the night before you sail, and land here after — with a washer and dryer for a week`s worth of laundry and a driveway spot for the car. It`s just as good for families and groups of up to 15 who want the top of the building with laundry included. Stays of 28+ nights are welcome. Pick Penthouse for cruise trips and in-unit laundry; pick Updated downstairs for a first-floor layout; pick Grand Mansion if you`re 16 or more — it`s this entire building.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
• Bedroom 1: full bed + twin-over-twin bunk — sleeps 4
• Bedroom 2: full-over-full bunk — sleeps 4
• Bedroom 3: full-over-full bunk + twin trundle — sleeps 5
• Bedroom 4: queen bed + full-size crib — sleeps 2 plus an infant

Every bunk has a fixed ladder. Bedrooms have wall-mounted luggage stands instead of closets (the closet doors came off to make room for the desk nooks), so plan to live out of your bags.
WHERE YOU`LL BE
A quiet residential block of two- and three-family homes in Bayonne, NJ 07002 (Hudson County) — a small, family-oriented city on the peninsula between Jersey City and Staten Island, directly across the harbor from Manhattan. Broadway, Bayonne`s main street, is a block away: restaurants (Italian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, Filipino, classic diners), cafés, bakeries and delis, with supermarkets and pharmacies along the same street. Bayonne`s reported violent-crime and property-crime rates are below the U.S. national averages, and it has a reputation as one of the quieter, more family-oriented cities in Hudson County. Your door code is unique to your stay, and the building`s main door locks itself behind you.
