I don't know where the hotels in Newark are, but the PATH train takes
you from beneath Penn Station (Nwk) to Downtown or Midtown Manhattan in
about 20 minutes (you have to change trains to get to Midtown) for $1.50
($1.20 if you buy a 20-ride "QuickCard" ticket; any number of people can
use a ticket).
The Hyatt Regency in Jersey City is right across the street from the
PATH station that's 5 minutes from Downtown, i.e. the World Trade Center
station. Other chain hotels are nearby. To get to Midtown, you'd either
walk over to a different PATH station or take the train back one stop
and change.
