Red Roof Inn Secaucus Meadowlands Motel

I pretty much hated everything about this place. The person at check in was on a personal phone call the entire time I checked in with my friends; the queen-sized beds we were promised did not exist; there was an unopened condom and other items left in one of the dresser drawers by the previous tenants (so that tells you how the housekeeping was); the room smelled bad; the wireless fees were ridiculous; and they tried to increase our room rate when we checked out! I will NEVER stay there again, or at any other Red Roof Inn.

Fantastic value if holidaying on a tight budget. Excellent riverside location, with gazebo and barbecue facilities, next to small marina. Excellent resturarants and take away outlets immediately across the road. Located approx 25 mins bus ride from Port Authority Bus station (Manhattan) with a regular local bus service (4 dollars return), which allowed us to prepare ourselves for going into and coming back from crazy Manhattan. Hotel reception holds bus timetables behind reception.

Downside of location is a 70 dollar one way taxi fare to/from from Manhattan.

Reception and housekeeping staff were really helpful and friendly - kettle, ironing equipment and hairdriers not provided in rooms - iron equipment and hairdiers available from reception, free drinks machine in reception, additional vending machines also provided.

The location was excellent -- really easy to get into Manhattan by bus or train, or drive if you preferred. The woman at the front desk was very helpful in giving directions. I also found the bed to be quite comfortable, which was nice, because I have stayed at many hotels of a similar price that smelled bad and were very uncomfortable. I would definitely stay at this Red Roof again.

This hotel is a great place to stay.

This hotel made me feel practical: I felt so relaxed and secure and away from all the clamors of the outside world.
