BEST WESTERN PLUS MEADOWLANDS, Secaucus

The hotel is in Secaucus, a quiet area with easy highway access to New York City and the Meadowlands. The NJ Transit Bus 320 stop is directly across the street, running every 15-20 minutes to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in under 20 minutes. For car users, Times Square is a 14-minute drive and MetLife Stadium is 8 minutes away. The Meadowlands Exposition Center is within walking distance. The surrounding area has many chain restaurants (Outback Steakhouse, Houlihan's, Tokyo Hibachi, Carrabba's) and a Walmart within a 10-minute walk, making it convenient for grabbing meals or supplies. The American Dream Mall is a 10-minute drive. For JFK or EWR airports, Uber or Lyft are recommended as the hotel does not provide airport shuttles. The parking lot is free and well-lit, with no reservation needed.

Rooms are spacious by chain-hotel standards, with fresh, modern furnishings. Bed options include King rooms (some with sofa beds) and Double rooms with two double beds; all have private bathrooms with a shower or bathtub. Suites with connecting doors are available on request. Road-facing or elevator-adjacent rooms can experience noise from traffic, hallways, and door slamming. The in-room desk is suitable for light work, and the window AC unit provides cooling during warmer months. Some rooms have had reports of inconsistent Wi-Fi connectivity. Balconies are not available. The hotel is pet-friendly, so allergy-sensitive travellers may prefer a room on a higher floor or request a pet-free zone.

The included breakfast offers a waffle machine, scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, bread, bagels, yoghurt, fresh fruit, and cereal. Coffee and juice are available from self-serve machines. The breakfast room is small for the hotel's capacity, so crowds build between 8-9 a.m.; arriving early is advisable. During peak times, the single toaster and waffle iron can create long waits. For lunch or dinner, there is no on-site restaurant or bar, but many casual dining options (Outback Steakhouse, Tokyo Hibachi, Houlihan's) are a 5-minute walk away, and the hotel has a 24-hour coffee and tea machine in the lobby.

The on-site fitness centre provides basic cardio and weight equipment for guest use. There are no swimming pools, hot tubs, or spa facilities at this property. For other leisure activities, the nearby American Dream Mall (10-minute drive) has an indoor theme park, water park, and ice rink. The surrounding area is quiet and green, suitable for walks.

Parking is free, unsecured, and does not require a reservation; licence plate registration is done at check-in. After check-out, parking costs $20 per night. Wi-Fi is free throughout, but connectivity in rooms has been variable; the lobby offers a more stable connection. Luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out, using a tag system.
