Is there a way to bus it to the convention from Queens?


Thanks in advance

[Sparky]

Don't know for sure if there is a way to bus it, but I'm pretty sure NJ Transit trains run right to the hotel.

NJ Transit train runs to Morristown station about 2 blocks from the hotel.
I also saw posted that Hotel runs a free shuttle to and from the train station, someone else shoudl confirm if that is for just people staying at the hotel.
Or just call the hotel.

You can see the proximity by mapquest-ing the map for the hotel/s address, then pull back to see the train station (to the east)

NJ Transit runs hourly trains out of NYC's Penn Station to Morristown, NJ. It's a direct train, so you don't have to transfer    However, the hotel clerk told me over the phone that on weekdays the "shuttle" runs only between 7 and 10 am and 4 to 7 pm. This doesn't help me any, but the clerk said a taxi will be waiting for me at the front of the station, as she said she would arrange for that. I guess this is a good sign. I'm buying a one way ticket, I may get a lift home from my roommate.
I'll try to be on time for the Scrabble game at 2 pm that I'm running.

For the record:

I took a train from NYC that was scheduled to arrive in Morristown at 9:54pm on Wednesday. When I was sure of what train I would be on, I called the hotel, with my first question being "Is the shuttle still running?" The answer was "Yes" and I was picked up at the train station at about 10pm.

This even though I was not directly registered with the hotel (being a DE Staffer); the service was impeccable and provided (at least to me) on-demand.

PS: I would still suggest that if you can arrange to be arriving on the same train as other friends, so that multiple members are serviced with single shuttle runs, the hotel will be happier with us as a group in the long run.

Updating this topic. Coach USA, which provides service from Port Authority in NYC to the East Brunswick Hilton, also goes to the Hyatt Hotel in Morristown. I believe it's line 77 leaving from gate 306 at PA. It stops about 250 feet from the hotel, so you don't even need a taxi. I would highly recommend this for anyone coming from the five boroughs of NYC. This is how I got to and from Dexcon XII. The round trip is $16 and change and the trip is about 90 minutes. Coming from NYC, it's the last stop on the bus, so you can't miss it.
