"maria was fantastic also need to change up the parking asap"

Meadowlands Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, spacious room, great breakfast package, and very attentive, helpful staff. They also operate a really useful, complementary shuttle that took us to and from the Secaucus Junction train station when traveling into and out of Manhattan. We were in town for the Packers vs Jets game, and the shuttle also dropped us off in the American Dream garage, 5 minutes from our gate at Met Life on game day. Would recommend this hotel for all out-of-towners visiting for a game!"
