We already told you about one Jersey hotel that won’t be luring the MTV Jersey Shore crew anytime soon. Now, here’s one much more likely to draw Snooki and the Stituation: the W Hoboken.

Not because it was reviewed by the New York Times this weekend. Oh, no. Forget highbrow journalism. It’s the pole that will reel them in.

This month, the W Hoboken is offering S-Factor workout classes as part of a Girls’ Night Out promotion. S-Factor, in case you don’t know, is a blend of striptease, ballet, and yoga, and all the rage with celebs like Kate Hudson.

The two-hour classes will be held weekly throughout February, starting next Monday, and include Intro to Pole, Pure Tease, Lap Dance, and Pole Class. Each session is $65 and includes a free cocktail in the hotel’s Living Room bar. If you sign up for all four classes you also get a complimentary S-Factor DVD.

It’s a shame the New York Times didn’t visit this month so they could review the strip classes as well, although the reviewer liked most of what he saw at the hotel. The “terrific location” and “reasonable prices” got a thumbs up, as did the gorgeous view of the NYC skyline behind the bar at the Chandelier Room, the lush king-sized bed, and the “lovely riverside park and pier just across the street, where fisherman sometimes troll for crabs.”

The room’s “silly minibar top, which glows a bright rainbow of colors” was not such a hit—the reviewer had to call down to reception to figure out how to shut if off.

But something tells us this is just the kind of thing Snooks would love. The W Hoboken may have turned down the chance to have the Jersey Shore crew make a club appearance back in December, but with stripper poles now on the premises, we reckon they’ll have a hard time keeping them away.

really?

I am still trying to figure out why there is a W in Hoboken.  I think the brand has officially "jumped the shark".  What's next, W Des Moines?

hah!

when either W Des Moines or W Cleveland opens, then we'll know it jumped the shark for realz.
