Meadowlands Plaza Hotel - Secaucus

hotel propre et confortable mais loin de Manhattan. Personnel aimable mais petit déjeuner moyen. La navette est rarement disponible.

When we made the reservation we specified a non-smoking room but were given a smoking one. After complaining at the reception they changed our room, but the smell coming out of the AC unit was foul. We just turned it off and opened the window, problem solved. Everything else was good, the room was clean and spacious. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, complimentary Wi-Fi and parking a big plus. Best of all was the location, really hard to beat if you are visiting NYC but don't want to spend a fortune on a bedbug infested hotel room.

This hotel was wonderful. The only issue we had was with the shuttle service to and from the train station. For example, one of the times I had to wait more than 45 min -- it appeared that they forgot to inform the driver that people were waiting (made multiple calls to get then to make the 10-15 min drive).

The hotel was very clean - they change the bed covers every day which is not common for most of the other hotels. The shuttle service is easily available but the drivers were not consistently friendly. Don't forget the complimentary breakfast, very good! Parking is free and safe. The only problem was with the noise made by the bathroom door while some of my family members entered the bathroom. The hinges needs some lubrication.

We would def stay here again. Everyone was nice; b'fast was yummy; room was fine. They advertise a free shuttle service, but once we got there they added "when available". What does that mean? It means you can't depend on the shuttle when you need it. I think it would be better not to advertise the service. We got in a tiff when we had to wait a long time for the van to arrive. Next time, we'll know not to count on it which will save us some stress.

The only thing I didn't like about the hotel (which would never sway me from not staying there), was the lack of knowledge of the bus and the lack of availability of the free shuttle. Otherwise, we would totally stay there again on our visit to NYC.

Good hotel for the price. Close to train station to NYC. Free breakfast was much better than average free breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

We brought our nephew to Secaucus to access NYC so we could all tour. We wanted a breakfast and the one at meadowlands plaza was better than expected. The shuttle service from the hotel to the bus stop was good but returning we had to beg for them to pick us up. We rushed to get back to Jersey by 10:00 PM but night manager Angelo said the shuttle was not available and that we should take a taxi. Fortunately the taxi stand is right by the bus stop and of course the cabbies told us that the Plaza is famous for leaving people stranded. In fairness, the taxi ride was only necessary 1 of 3 times. We kept our receipt and were reimbursed the next morning by Nick at the direction of one of the managers (Sal) who happened to be at the front desk when we arrived from our cab ride.

I chose this hotel because of the latest proliferation of bed bugs in the NYC area. I know that Meadowlands Plaza Hotel does NOT have bed bugs because (1) I checked the bed bug registry (yes, one exists), (2) asking the receptionist at check-in, (3) doing a physical inspection of the bed and linens (oh well, no hospital corners) and (4) no tell-tale red welts on our bodies upon returning home. So this hotel is SAFE from bed bugs, as of Aug 2010. Besides, we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and spaciousness of the reception area and our room. The bathroom was also clean, well-stocked and roomy. We loved our room so much we tipped the chambermaids double. The included breakfast is great (full American with the obligatory cereals and 'continental' pastries); the breakfast room is the restaurant with lots of tables so there's no need to fight other guests for a seat. Hotel is situated in a less commercial area so parking is safe. We chose to drive into NYC daily and pay the $8 bridge toll and $35 in parking but the train to/fro would have cost the same (depends on how many in your party). For being a convenient 15-20 minute non-harrowing drive away from Manhattan, I highly recommend this hotel. We would definitely come back to stay.

Liked the hotel a lot...had pretty much everything that I expected, It is very close to a shuttle to NYC - about 40 mins ride...and the New Jersey Bus taking you to NYC and back runs all day and all night...so u can stay out and about as long as you want. Would certainly come again if the price is acceptable. It was a very pleasant experience and would certainly recommend it to others.

For the price it was good, but the beds and pillows are too hard for me. I woke up everyday with a back pain. The breakfast was ok, but whoever is the cook need to learn how to cook. The food had no taste at all. Good things there is a Dunkin Dount in front of the hotel.

BED WAS TOO HARD, WE HAD NO A/C; THEY OFFERED A ROOM SWITCH AT 2A.M. WHEN AT CHECK IN THEY TOLD US THAT WAS THEIR ONLY ROOM LEFT, ORDERED FOOD FROM RESTUARANT AND OUR BREAD & BUTTER BASKET HAD BUTTER PACKETS IN IT THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY OPENED AND USED...TOLD MANAGEMENT THAT WE COULDN'T EAT OUR DINNER, THEY OFFERED NOTHING!! THEY DIDN'T CARE...WOULD NEVER RECOMMMEND EVER!

Great. clean. friendly. good breakfast in the morning. reliable.

This was a horrible stay. My husband and I stayed here to be close to NY for our vacation. The staff was rude and the beds felt like you were sleeping on bricks. I asked to change rooms hoping for a softer bed, but the staff's response was that all of their beds came from the same place and they would all feel the same. Also, they offer a shuttle to the train station going to NY. My husband and I chose that hotel for that purpose. The shuttle was out of service 2 of the 5 days that we were there. There was only one shuttle van to service the whole hotel, therefore we had to wait sometimes up to an hour for the shuttle to drop people off and come back to pick up more guests. Also, the shuttle stopped at 10pm, so you can forget about having a night out on the town in NY and getting a shuttle back to your hotel. The hotel also offers an American Breakfast. The breakfast was definitely more than you get at any other hotel, but it wasn't worth getting the hotel for. If my experience was worth anything, I will never stay at this hotel again!

To begin with, the Hotel is centrally located to all major road arteries in getting to NY, PA and all other points. The location is just off major state highway Rt 3, near the NJ Turnpike and many of the Interstates. The Hotel is one of the very best I have ever stayed at. The staff, from the Receptionist to the General Manageent; always available and forthcoming to getting your questions answered, giving directions, and any concerns one might have. I will stay there again and recommend evrtry one who is in need of a home away from homw, stay at The Meadlowland Plaza Hotel.

We called ahead to say we were running late and to double check that we could check in after the 3:00 PM check in time. They said absolutely-no problem. Upon arrival their claims were backed up and we got our keys within 5mins, unpacked the car using a cart and found our room. Our room was non-smoking with 2 queen beds and it was very nice, neat, clean and did not smell like smoke what so eve. The A.C. worked well and the room stayed very cool. We stayed there for 4 nights and 5 days and had enough towels everyday, had wireless internet throughout the duration and a full breakfast each morning. We opted out of house keeping and kept the room tidy ourselves while just requesting some items we needed when they came around. Showers always had hot water. Rooms were very quiet, couldn't hear anyone in the adjacent rooms or in the hall. The gym facilities, although on the small side, were good enough to serve the purpose with 2 bikes, 2 treadmills, an elliptical, a stepper, a large weight machine with a number of machines on it and a bench with dumb bells. Restaurant food was good, however the waitress was less than enthusiastic that we came in 45mins before close. (5-10mins I could see being upset about because I have been a server but there were many other people in the restaurant still) Over all it was a wonderful hotel! I would definitely stay there again. It was also in a prime location close to the city, the Giants stadium, the Izod center and many other stores/restaurants.

We needed a cheap but clean place where to sleep to visit NY and, well, this hotel was PERFECT! It was far better than what we expected:very clean, nicely furnished, close to NY, and whith a wonderful breakfast, not only the continental one but also the american one, with eggs, hamburger, potatoes, bacon and pancakes. There is a free shuttle that drives you to the autobus or the train station and picks you up (but only until 10 p.m., which is kind of a problem if you want to see NY by night. Anyways, the whole experience at this hotel was amazing. Definitely would stay here again.

Gave little information about connecting transportation. Need to walk to hotel after 10:00 from bus drop off at night (1/2 mile) (no directions were provided and we got lost!) Barely spoke English Very good breakfast. No refrigerator. Good internet.

The room was perfect and very clean. I was so happy with it. Everyone was very helpful with any questions we had about the surrounding area. The breakfast was more than your average waffles, it was a full buffet, so good !! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

If you're looking for an affordable place to stay in the NYC area this is your place. Free parking, free breakfast buffet, free shuttle to the bus to take you into the city - this place has it all. Room was very clean, staff were helpful, A/C worked well (it was over 100 outside). I would heartily recommend this high value hotel and would stay there again myself.

Best Hotel for the Price, can't beat it. This was as cheap as paying for a hostel in NYC, but it came with all the luxuries of a hotel. Clean hotel, in a secluded area although close to town for all your amenities. $3.20 bus pass to get into NYC, which is 3 miles away. The bus stop is within 10 minute walking distance from the hotel. Their breakfast was one of the best I've had for a continental breakfast... it was a full buffet. and the gift shop was very reasonably priced.

NO STARS!!! Before I booked with Hotels.com, I called the hotel to find out the proximity from bus/train stop to hotel; they told me that they had a shuttle but if it wasn't available, which it wasn't, it would be a ten minute walk to the hotel. Wrong. It was a ten minute cab ride. There was no way to walk to the hotel becase if you left the Secaucus Junction train station, it was all highway. I was irate but when I got to the hotel all they could say was "I'm sorry." Not enough. The next day, my room wasn't made up., All they could say was "I'm sorry" But when the maids (2 of them) finally came up 15 minutes later, I had already thrown my towels outside the door, along with my watebaskets. The manager only came up with his walkie-talkie ONLY because the maids called him. He "took my word for it" that my room hadn't been made. I will skip to the last day - the shuttle was FINALLY available to take me to the bus stop at 7 am. The driver, who didn't speak a word of English, was very nice in trying to catch up with my bus which had just pulled away. The driver ended up on the NJ Turpike, headed towards Hackensack, which is in the opposite direction of Manhattan. He didn'yknow where he was going, and couldn't speak English!!!! After having been in the shuttle for one hour, I eded up back at the original bus stop - seconds before another bus arrived. I was one irate 'guest' The hotel staff AND General Manager, , had an excuse for everything - including the outdated bus schedle they gave to me (April 2008). The fruit and dessrt platethat was in my room on my last night was too late. The damage was alread done. I woiuld NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. Customer service was very poor and it is not convenient to Manhattan

Nice, clean, good smelling. Not far from NY with van transfer to bus station. I do recommend.

Everything was even better than the expectations! It is the cheapest way I know to visit NYC. The hotel provides the free shuttle to the train station and then it is only one stop to Penn Stn. Clean and comfortable!

Never knew this hotel was there.. it was very very clean.. everyone was really nice... they had a free shuttle to take you to Harmon Meadows where there are restaurants and shopping.. and there was an awesome free breakfast!!!! The rooms were very clean and comfortable.. could use some new TV's.. but other than that.. very nice.. for the money..

Large rooms, very clean with a king size bed. Good buffet breakfast. The only problem is that it is in the middle of nowhere and you need to use the hotel free shuttle bus to take you to the nearest mall/station/bus stop (which are around 8 mins away). If there are no hotel shuttle buses available, you can take a taxi which is easily available to go short distance. Secaucus station is only one stop away (on the overheard train) from Manhatten city centre! So if you include the hotel + transport(bus/taxi) + train, it is still a great value. Allow 30 mins total journey from the hotel to Manhatten city centre. I would recommend it for value, distance from the city centre and the cleanliness of the rooms.

For business hotel its perfect.good restaurant connect with great outside bar and eating area. full breakfast included and free parking . what more could you ask for.

Great, friendly staff and very affordable, would stay again for sure. Location is only minutes away from the city, which is great.

hotel staff was very polite and quick to meet our needs. our keys did not work and another set was brought to us promptly. Room was clean and well kept. pur room came with breakfast. the restaurant was nice and the food was good. Our stay was very enjoyable and we would surely stay here again. It was a great value and we would recommend this hotel to others.

Second time staying here for shows at Giants Stadium. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Front desk service always polite and cheerful if spotty on follow through. Very convenient to NYC (bus stop to Port Authority a short walk) and Meadowlands - we were in the Stadium parking lot in less than 15 minutes. Very good choice for a reasonable price.

The Meadowlands Plaza is reasonably priced and rather comfortable. My only gripe was one of the vending machines ate my money and provided nothing. The front desk was no help albeit there was somewhat of a communications gap. Aside from that the hotel was clean and comfortable and very close to the meadowlands sports complex.

We were in town to see a concert at Giants Stadium. This hotel is 5 minutes away. The staff was friendly and professional and the room was just what we needed - 2 queen beds with plenty of room - and very quiet. The breakfast was better than we expected with eggs, bacon, pancakes and the typical cold options. Great staff in the restaurant also keeping things clean and orderly. We would stay here again.

staff was nice, great location if going to the sports complex and clean room. The bed was extremely firm and so were the pillows. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep.

Stayed overnight for a concert. The hotel staff were helpful. The room was big and clean. Close to stadium Great room for the money.
