Meadowlands Plaza Hotel

I felt the hotel was pretty good in accordance to its price. The staff was quite nice, especially the front desk, except the room service people. They would come to your door at 8:30am and bang on it repeatedly for room service, the earliest iv ever seen them come in any hotel, that too on a weekend, not at all happy about that, which happened 2 days in a row, and had to use the do not disturb sign for the third day.

The breakfast was also quite nice and complimentary. The shuttle service they run to anywhere in NJ to the train or bus stops is also quite efficient, just give them a call and they will come get you at any time.

I feel apart from the room service personnel, my only other real grip were the beds and pillows. Not sure what it was, Although they are nice and big, for me they were just not comfortable at all, couldn't get much sleep. Possibly the beds too firm and the 2 pillows they had were one being too soft and the other too hard. But apart from that, the room was quite clean. Would recommend it for a short reasonably priced stay.

It is more like a 3.5 star, but I will give it 4 stars because the hotel shuttle will pick you up and take you to the Secaucus junction which makes it very convenient to get in to the city. I have stayed here 5 times now because it makes it cost efficient if you need to work in the city and also see clients in NJ. The GYM is better than most hotels and the restaurant in the hotel has good food and a good happy hour.

Room we reserved was large and clean but our AC barely worked!!! I didn't sleep comfortably on either night because I was so hot. We had it on 60 degrees and still felt hot. Fridge took quite some time to get cold. Bed was okay to sleep on. Lots of pillows. Multiple vending machines near elevators. The lobby and guest entrance stunk horribly. For whatever reason the guests come in through the back of the hotel. I was a little nervous about having to use the elevators because they seemed old. We stood here for an event at the restaurant and while we were dancing the food was served and taken away without us even touching our plates. That upset me because even after we sat down wait staff did nothing but rush us to eat and leave. Thought that was super tacky. It was during a wedding reception. Not cool. Breakfast was very good. I was expecting more of a variety but the few items that were served tasted good. For what we spent per night I was not at all impressed. If you are traveling with kids this is probably not the place to stay. We had to pay for our baby to watch cartoons. Overall I've been to cheaper places with better accommodations.

Staff was very nice and accommodating. Good breakfast. Very convenient to New York City. Bed was hard but after the first night it was ok.

Wouldn't even give this a star, honestly. The beds are hard, there was trash still in the room when we first got there, there were only 4 tissues (we know this because my friends allergies were going crazy), the staff is rude and ignorant...ugh the staff, and the vending machine didn't work. Not only did we not get our complementary breakfast because the people who checked us in didn't tell us, but they overcharged my friend for her security deposit thing. She had to put down a card in case we like left the room damaged (which is understandable and common) and she had to put a friends ID down too. Well the security was $100 that she was supposed to get back after when we left and there were no issues. Well they charged her extra that the staff checking us in didn't tell us because my friends weren't 21, $50 each person. And my friends boyfriend is 24 so had we known that we would've just put him down. But none told us any of this until we were checking out. THEY DIDNT EVEN TELL US THEY CHARGED $200 AND NOT $100. She found out when she checked her account on her phone. The man that she talked to was also very rude and honestly didn't care, took forever to call back, then told her to call her bank and they would fix it...and the bank said no they need a call from the hotel. I would never go there again and highly recommend none does. Also someone should redo the management and clean the bathrooms. Didn't expect the rooms to be all that great for the price but god it was not worth all this nonsense. DO NOT EVER STAY THERE
