Candlewood Suites Secaucus - Meadowlands, an IHG Hotel

This place is absolutely 💯 👏 amazing!!! Rated number 1 for me. If I could give them 10 double stars I would. 🌟 Clean, friendly staff, perfect location, fully equipped kitchen. In house Lending store as well as a convenient grocery store. And so much more!

No complaints which is great from a hotel! Cool rental area too, nice kitchen, if you're coming for multiple days you can plan to eat in the room easily with what they offer

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STEPPING OUT OF THE BOX & HELPING ME THIS MORNING ALL ON YOUR OWN! MUCH APPRECIATED!

We are here for a wk. We have a handicapped studio suite. Everyone we came in contact with has been helpful & polite. The maintenace dept helped me get into my car after the snow. Jorge, esp, went out of his way to shovel arnd my car & make sure I got in safely. A really big help! Felicita is a GEM!!! You are so very lucky to have her. She is so pleasant, efficient, helpful, professional; customer-focused; hardworking & does many chores. Knowing my health/handicapped issues, I really appreciate how she assisted. Rooms were nice. We just would have liked rooms w/o carpeting as so many are doing now. Allergists suggest no rugs.

Thank you all!

Everything was super easy here from check-in to check-out. I was greeted with kindness, friendliness, and helpfulness. They have a cute little shop where you can get odds and ends you may need, from toiletries to snacks and small packaged meals. They also have kitchenettes available in the rooms, which is convenient if you don't feel like ordering out at restaurants or have special dietary needs where ordering fast food isn't ideal. They also have this locker available where you can borrow board games, books, or kitchen items, like toaster ovens. I've never seen that before, so I thought that was really neat and helpful.

I didn't have any issues with the room. Everything was clean, orderly, and working properly. It's in a great location where it isn't really noisy outside. Parking is free, which is huge as I've stayed at other spots in NJ where they charge for parking, even though it's their own lot.

I would for sure stay here again if I need to be close to the NYC area!

Very nice initial opinion and impressions. The front end staff at check in was very pleasant. A seasoned female manager and new trainee male person were very nice. I was early because of flight timing so she went out of her way to make my short wait pleasant while the room was finished.
The room is very clean and spacious. Hot water is hot and average pressure for a hotel. Tub is very clean. Take a bath clean. Caulk in tub and kitchen area clean and installed correctly which is an area I am fussy about. When its not it grosses me out. Painted wood clean and free of chips and dings in room and halls. Halls well lit and lights at room entrances. First impressions, A+. If anything changes over next few days I will adjust review.

I as well as members of my company stay here regularly (M-F). Front desk Staff is always friendly and helpful. They do have a lending locker as well as a cupboard so you can get snacks, foods, drinks, and other necessities. 3 sets of washer and dryers as well if you need to do laundry.
My only bad experience was after someone smoked "skunk" in the room before me. I let the front desk know and got it taken care of. It's not the hotels fault that people don't follow the rules or are to lazy to walk outside.

We had a great stay. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are clean and the staff is very nice, helpful and friendly. This is now my place of choice when going to NY.

We had a nice stay in August 2022. The lady working at the front desk was especially friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean and the beds were comfy. Parking was easy.

So.... I will start with the great. Extremely Clean, great home feeling, treat you like family. As soon as you walk in the Lobbby you feel right at home, really. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful. The have a great convinience store, gym, laundry mat on site and much more. The rooms are super clean and very well equipped. This is truly a suite! If there is a special item you might need they can let you borrow from the front desk (crok pot, board games and much more).

The bad, but not a killer.... location. Its located in a bit of an industrial area with not much commerce close to it. The Dunking Donuts is the closest shop and its a mile away. If you are staying here thinking of going to New York/Manhattan, you might want to reconsider as you will either have to take 2 buses or an uber/lyft to Secacus Junction to catch an NJ Train. That station is not accessible by foot and is 1.6 miles away. Uber charges you 9-11 dollars just for that small portion. Both options take about 45 to get to Manhattan.

Still, the quality of the place, the amazing service, the cleanliness is what stands out and makes them deserve 5 Stars, no doubt in my mind!

VERY very clean rooms equipped with fridge, microwave and dishwasher. Quiet and safe. There was a cop parked in the lot throughout the night. Staff was SO nice and helpful. They have board free games and kitchen appliances people can check out. Just a great place.

We pulled in from a long road trip from Kentucky, not knowing if we'd be able to check in, but wanting to get over to NYC ASAP. We had a limited amount of time to see the Big Apple while in New Jersey for our a dance competition! The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful, kind and friendly (sadly I forgot their names). They got us quickly into a room (even with a bit of a view!) and gave us advice on traveling to and from NYC. We were very pleasantly surprised by the room, full kitchen and all the amenities in the room. Later that evening we came in soaking wet from a drenching evening in NYC and again was surprised & very happy to have the complimentary use of washer and dryers (with 3 teens, 2 adults, very wet shoes,backpacks and purses it was so needed)! The GM (Alfredo) was working the night shift and was beyond helpful each of the 2 nights we stayed! We will most definitely refer family and friends! The best place we stayed the whole 11 day 4 state trip! Wish we'd known about them sooner and booked with the location earlier! Thank you to all of the hard working staff y'all have! We appreciated the kindness, generosity and friendliness!.
A side note, this is an extended stay location so no pool or breakfast. However, they have an awesome lending library for much needed items like umbrellas, toaster oven, crockpot, board games etc.They also have a gym facility as well as a pantry to purchases snacks and such. It's also a quick 11-13 min train ride from Secaucus Junction to Penn Station in NYC. There are paid lots to park in next to Secaucus Junction so you can park there (just watch the lot address if you pre - purchase) and a short 2-5 min walk to the Junction. Trains run regularly.
Awesome location and Fantastic Service!

Staying here currently and couldn't be happier. Staying here with husband and kids and staff has been exceptional. Only a $8 taxi ride to train station to get into the city has made commuting easy with the kids. Room is clean and beds are like pillows. I would definitely stay again. Staff has been very helpful too. We came in way before check in yesterday and they kept our bags until we got back from the city. We were tired and just ready to sleep and check in was only about two minutes. Can't say enough good things.

Awesome place. I'm a trucker and my truck was in shop across the street.
The staff is all very friendly. I stayed for 3 days for 116.45 a day. Rooms very clean and equipped with full kitchen to cook you own meals. Beds are very comfortable. Would stay again no doubt.

Great staff & service. Rooms definately served the purpose needed. There is a workout room & washers/dryers for guest to use. Very clean, safe hotel. Would definately stay again if needed. They do offer a shuttle service to the train station, which was very convenient for going into New York

The rooms are nice and cosy, the free high speed Internet, free coffee, free shuttle on week days to the station, free use of laundry facilities, dishwasher in every room are definitely better than what extended stay America provides. The staff is also helpful and friendly. The only thing that is a minus is that there is nothing around the hotel and the nearest place to shop is close to 2 miles away.

Fair pricing for a spacious, clean room. Front desk staff was exceptional. Room was well-furnished, with everything needed to cook and clean. A small sundries store offers a wide selection of snacks and drinks.

Had a great 2 and a half month stay! Great staff and updated amenities. During my stay the gym was updated. My room was very clean and bedding was fresh. Everything about this stay was 5-star! I look forward to returning soon.

Clean rooms, very friendly staff. There is nothing they wouldn't try to make you comfortable.

There is no hotel kitchen. The pantry (or Candlewood Cupboard) is stocked for a quick grab-and-go bite. Also stocked with basic travel toiletries and basic OTC medicines. Rooms have kitchenettes, with utensils, cooking range, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator. Rooms also have irons and ironing boards, hair dryers.

Wednesdays are social nights, with the hotel buying food or, weather permitting, some barbecue for the guests. There is a shuttle service to the Secaucus Junction station in the mornings and evenings, run by pleasant drivers. Manny, the manager, is a fun guy! In all, a very hospitable place, that can grow on you quickly.

we always make this a hotel we stay at anytime we are in the area ....love the staff they always have a great attitude and have a smile....and the manager is great. they are all amazing people

Staff was great. Room was very clean and comfortable. Staff gave us good info about area and getting on with our trip. Definitely would stay there again if coming back to NYC.
