    two beds in a hotel room
    Ivy Y.

    Stayed here while on one of those overnight bus tours to NYC. Not bad. Clean room. Vending machines in the hallway. Breakfast was good. I'd stay here again.

    The lobby looks a bit out dated but the actual rooms are quite decent. Comfy bed, clean, and staff are nice. Free breakfast from 7am-11am. I would def stay here if i had a concert to attend, it's a convenient area and they have a shuttle bus that takes you to near by areas.

    Sunrise over NYC from our room.

    My family spent a night at this hotel as a pit stop during our travels to OBX. It was perfect. Right off the highway and close enough to NYC that we were able to sight see during our stay! I researched ALOT of hotels in the NYC area in preparation for this trip and was very happy with our choice. The affordable nightly rate, free parking and free breakfast were fabulous huge factors for us, but the complimentary hotel shuttle was the icing on the cake. We took the 12 minute train ride into Penn Station from Secaucus, which couldn't have been easier. The shuttle was able to bring us to and from the station. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful during our stay as well. The hotel rooms were clean and spacious. We were also pleasantly surprised by the beautiful view of NYC skyline we had from our room! The only reason I didn't give the hotel a 5 star is because the rooms were a bit dated and none of the ice machines worked. (Minor inconvenience) All in all, I would highly recommend the Meadowlands Plaza hotel!

    Checking in for the weekend!

    Can I just say that my stay here was absolutely one of the most pleasant experiences I had staying at a hotel? We were here for nearly a week as we explored New York City and visited with relatives, and they made every day of the stay an absolute pleasure. They had the convenience of a shuttle to take you anywhere within their little neighborhood, which conveniently included the local transit that would take you straight downtown. They do offer a Colonial Breakfast, and it stands as the one thing I had to complain about. I mean, it comes with unlimited bacon, so it had to be great, right? Wrong. The sausage here was terrible, and tasted like lightly flavored meat paste squeezed unceremoniously into a tube. The Bacon wasn't cured so much as INFUSED with salt, the Orange Juice wasn't sweet and tangy, it was bitter and angry. (If you live in Ireland or have ever been, it's like their Orange Juice... utterly disappointing). Literally, everything they had there that wasn't basic bread, pancakes, or waffles was just a screaming disappointment. It's also worth noting that the staff who were responsible for this accouterment seemed utterly disgusted at having to deal with something so mundane. Don't blame this on the hotel as a whole though, this restaurant is in the building but clearly run by other management who put them in charge of this tragedy. That being said, the rest of our stay was utterly fantastic. The staff were friendly and engaging and eager to help us out in any way we desired and were always quick to let us know how they could help when we ran into an issue. We didn't bring up the continental breakfast to them as we knew there was exactly nothing they could do, and it was free with the rooms. So while I cannot under any circumstances advise that you partake of their continental breakfast, I will say that this is an absolute choice location if you're visiting New York City.

    The Meadowlands Plaza Hotel was an okay hotel. It was older and the rooms lacked simple upgrades that would in my opinion make the stay better. The rooms were spacious but very outdated. Super small tv, about the size of my work monitor but it was hanging on the wall. Having a microwave and fridge in the room was a great convenience. There were not a ton of functional mirrors in the room. So no where to sit and do your makeup or hair. The floors had super old carpet on them. As clean as the room was I just imagined the carpet being filled with germs. Carpets in hotels never seemed functional to me. Harder to clean on a consistent basis. Bathroom tiles and grout needed to be cleaned and or replaced. The cleaning staff does a great job with the upkeep of the rooms, but no one on the housekeeping staff spoke English so it was tough to request anything without going downstairs because Our phone was unplugged in the room. I saw comments about the comforters in previous reviews our comforter was a standard white Cotton comforter so it wasn't too bad and the bed was super comfortable, we got great sleep. We had a room near the highway and it was soo loud. Soo loud that I thought our window was open! I could hear every truck, honk, literally everything. Surprisingly it may have acted as some sort of white noise effect because we slept great but if you are sensitive to sound you would probably be miserable. Breakfast was great it was offered by the connecting restaurant. Pancakes, sausage, pastries, bananas and juice. You could not take anything from breakfast. There was a sign beside the bananas stating that you could not take one to go. Front staff was okay, not overfly friendly but not rude either. Location was great, very close to the MetLife Stadium and close enough to drive into the city. Plenty of local food places within close distance. All in all I would give the hotel 3 stars! Nothing amazing but nothing awful. I wouldn't stay here again because of the carpet and tiles BUT if those things don't bother you, it would be a nice weekend option If you are in the area.

    OMER KILIC 05/01/1999 80 RANDOLPH AVE I booked this hotel from 28th october to 29th october I have been charged 700$ for just 1 night by this hotel. Firs I had been charged 300$ when I am checking in(100$ hotel fee + 100$ deposit + 100$ mistake), and while I was checking out telling the problem, the receptionist guy charged me 400$ more when he tried to fix the problem. He told me he did mistake and the money is gonna come back in 7 days. I am asking, if the money was gonna come back, why did he charge me 400$ at that moment, which I may need that money for my expenses immediately. I am tourist and guess it is not good to lose acces to your 600$ for 7 days!!! Also the service I have received was inadequate. Hot water wasn't working and wifi wasn't working as well. The receptionist guy were being rude saying very bad words like shit and keep blaming me that I don't get it at all. I entered hotel with 4000$ balance in my bank account and I left hotel with 3300$ balance left in my bank account. The receptionist person didn't fix problem when checking out, in opposite he charged me 400$ more extra and all he said that the money is going to come back to my account in 7 days. His attitude was really disturbing and frustrating, because I can't speak English very well, he kept blaming me that I don't get it anything which I believe I was discriminated and exposed to racist attitude. I feel really bad and it ruined my day. I am so sad and feeling bad. I am ready provide any kind of official record.

    A pic I took of the hotel while walking back from Wendys, Subway, and Dunking Donuts!

I ordered the buffalo wings, garlic knots, a small cheese pizza with vodka sauce instead of marinara & mushrooms, and a cannoli. The wings were not Buffalo, they were a mix between Buffalo and bbq. If I had known, would not have ordered. Did not like the bbq sauce flavor. I also asked for ranch as I despise bleu cheese but alas, I did not get ranch and had to eat my wings plain. Garlic knots were perfect. The pizza tho. Ugh, it was so bad. They made a cheese mushroom pizza with way too much cheese and then put the vodka sauce on top after!!! Like a drunken grandma pie. That's not what I wanted. I asked for, "a cheese pizza with vodka sauce." It was so soggy that it soaked through the bottom of the box. Stayed soggy even after reheating in the oven. I ate half a slice and tossed the rest sadly. I won't be ordering from here again. The cannoli was fine but wouldn't order again either. The only thing I would eat again is the garlic knots. Very disappointing for Jersey pizza.

    Bareli's in Secaucus makes a fantastic first impression. The restaurant sits on a busy route with…read moreeasy access in and out, and the parking lot is large enough to accommodate many vehicles. The interior is visually impressive: elegant table linens, comfortable leather chairs, and a dining room that looks polished and upscale. When we arrived, what appeared to be the owner was greeting guests at the entrance. Since he was welcoming everyone and dressed differently from the rest of the staff, we assumed he was the owner. It was a great touch and immediately raised our expectations. Unfortunately, the experience did not fully match that first impression. We started with drinks: a glass of wine for me and an Old Fashioned for my wife. As happens too often in restaurants, the stronger drink was automatically assumed to be mine, and the drinks were delivered incorrectly. It's a small detail, but one that reflects attention--or lack of it. Bread arrived quickly, followed soon after by the food. I ordered the gnocchi with meat sauce. The dish was acceptable, but nothing extraordinary. My wife ordered the house seafood salad, which was very good--fresh, flavorful, and easily the best dish we had that night. Our waiter spoke limited English. Once he realized we also spoke his language, the service became noticeably more relaxed and somewhat overly familiar. He immediately tried to guide us toward the most expensive items on the menu. When I declined coffee after dinner, he responded by saying something along the lines of: "Well, that's your choice, but the coffee here is very good," which felt unnecessary. We also had a small issue with the Old Fashioned garnish. The orange peel looked unusual, so we asked for the drink to be replaced. The waiter did replace it, though he first tried to explain that what we thought were worms were simply marks on the fruit peel. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu, which the waiter promoted heavily as the best dessert to try. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver. Instead of the classic layered presentation, it arrived more like a cup full of cream with a few pieces of soaked bread and very little coffee flavor. The issue was not just the dessert itself, but the expectations created when it was described. Bareli's is a beautiful restaurant with a great location and atmosphere, but the service details and execution didn't quite match the level suggested by the setting.

We walked in to a beautifully decorated waiting area and were seating quickly. You could hear the live music playing and it was perfect. Our waiter Nathan R., was welcoming and attentive. The dirty martini was made perfectly and the hand stuffed blue cheese olives were a nice touch over the pre stuffed jar ones. To start we ordered the Burrata Salad. It was delicious. All the ingredients worked well together. For the second course we were floating between the Black Spaghetti and the Lobster Ravioli Special. We wound up going with the special and it was the move. The black inked ravioli, had chunks of lobster inside and hit nicely with the "angry sauce" on top. That bread helped clean that plate up nice. For the mains: 20oz Bone In NY Strip with sautéed spinach. Perfectly cooked to my liking and I loved that it was pre sliced for me. Spinach was lightly oiled and a perfect amount of garlic. Salmon Special - Pumpkin seed crusted with butternut squash. The plate was beautifully decorated and looked fantastic, but as soon as we cut into the salmon it was raw. It was a huge piece of salmon. So I'm sure that's what happened. Picture shown is the under cooked one that was taken back. I did not get a picture of the next. The manager saw immediately as my wife cut into it and we didn't have to say anything. He took the plate back and began making another. The dish came out and it was definitely well done this time. The piece of salmon was a lot smaller than the first. I'm sure it was to cut the cooking time down and get it out asap. The meal was fantastic. Just wish we were able to eat together. It happens. For dessert: Espresso Martini - Perfect. No baileys, 3 beans. Pistachio gelato - fantastic Zeppole - There were 3 different sauces for each one. It was amazing. Our waiter Nathan and the manager were extremely apologetic. They even came out with a complimentary limoncello spirit as we were settling up. I can't wait to dine here again to give Bareli's the 5 star it deserves.
