Marriott Residence Inn East Rutherford Meadowlands - East Rutherford, NJ http://bit.ly/9qwcDh

Quality Inn Meadowlands - Lyndhurst, NJ http://bit.ly/9Wqvv5
These are the hotels in my town. I recommend the Courtyard at $99 a night. The bus stop is right outside the hotels and drops you off at the Port Authority Bus Terminal which is within walking distance of the Convention Center where the Anime Festival is being held. To get to Randall's Island you would take the subway then a shuttle bus to the festival.
Edited your post a bit Jay
So I went and looked at these 3 hotels that Jay was kind enough to post and right now the last 2 in Lyndhurst are significantly cheaper (99/night) than the first hotel in East Rutherford which is at 169/night. It does include free internet and a free buffet breakfast which is pretty convenient and is good for up to "four" people BUT at "five" or more people it gives a choice of a 2 bedroom SUITE that is fully loaded at 239/night.
- 2 bedrooms (like I said earlier)
- 2 bathrooms
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Refrigerator
- Stovetop
- Oven
- Microwave
- Silverware
- Pots, pans, and serving dishes
- Dishes and glasses
Didn't someone mention during the SM Town meetup that we need to have a suite so we all can stay in it? Here's our chance. Ladies in one room, guys in another. Same with the bathrooms. And for those who are culinary inclined, maybe we can cook up something from scratch JPHiP style. I dunno about you guys but I always wanted to stay in a suite
Its location isn't that bad either. About a half hour to get to the NYAF and 1.5 hrs to the Chuseok Festival using public transportation (according to google maps).
If we have enough interested in this, I'm more than willing to book it.
Oh, for those going, we have less than 13 hours left till the ticket mailing deadline for NYAF. We doing all three days? Online ticket prices are:
Weekend Pass - $50
Friday Pass - $30
Saturday Pass - $40
Sunday Pass - $30
