With its parent company Westin Hotels the official hotel sponsor of this year’s U.S. Open Tennis Championships in Queens, the Westin Jersey City Newport is hoping to nab tennis tourists with a “Grand Slam Deal.”
As part of the package, the hotel is offering a free daily $10 MetroCard for each guest, to make traveling to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center (PATH to 33rd>B/F/V to 42nd>7 to Mets-Willets Point, FYI) free.
The deal also includes free valet parking and rates starting from $169 per night.
The U.S. Open kicks off August 30.
