• Warm earth tone décor.
• I switched rooms. The first one had a dirty comforter.

“Overall, the hotel was nice. It was located next to the bus stop to go to nyc. It had a nice decor of warm earth tones and the staff was young and accommodating. It had a free internet center and the location was next to a shopping center with restaurants and a 6 movie Cineplex.”

• Location was great; bus stop to port authority was across the street.
• The free breakfast included with the room was not maintained properly.

“We would definitely stay in this hotel again. Location was good; it took less than 15 min by bus to get to the port authority.”

• Great location - close to NYC.
• The breakfast - poor choice selection and served on paper plates and cups.

“I'd recommend the hotel to others. Large clean rooms - recently renovated. The breakfast selection was poor. Lobby was still being renovated as part of the Hyatt Place conversion.”

• It was convenient and the breakfast was fine.
• Some of the staff seemed to lack common courtesy.

“The location and breakfast were fine but the construction was very noisy and off putting. I think the hotel will be nice after it is completed but right now it is really a problem. All in all it was a nice room for the price but some of the staff seems to be having bad days all the time. Other staff was excellent!”

“All in all, an excellent hotel within 15 minutes of NYC, but without the "NYC" cost. Public transportation and a fine selection of restaurants are all within minutes of the hotel. I would stay here again in a "New York minute".”

• Fantastic modern, unique room - very comfortable but aesthetically pleasing too.
• Hotel under construction - phone did not work, bathtub did not work; first night was a total stress-fest. Limited cable TV also; disappointing.

“Great hotel, free parking, nice breakfast. Had a few problems the first night but everything was resolved by night #2. Would highly suggest this for anyone staying in the Jersey City/Newark area who desires form and function - very different from your typical two beds, a loo and a window type room!”

• Suite was perfect for me and two teens.
• Currently undergoing construction.

“I stayed at the Amerisuites Secaucus for three nights with two 16 yr old girls - my daughter and her friend who was visiting the US for the first time from Italy. We were looking to visit New York "inexpensively" and I was familiar with the accommodations in the Meadowlands area. I have stayed at this Amerisuites before and been totally satisfied but the renovations in progress now will turn the totally satisfactory Amerisuites into a fairly luxurious Hyatt. Although the lobby was currently being renovated during our stay and left much to be desired, the already renovated room was comfortable, well appointed, and super comfortable and clean. We had two double beds and a queen-sized sleeper sofa so everyone was able to sleep comfortably. Coffeepot, fridge and "kitchen sink" made mornings a breeze for Mom. Two sinks, separate from the bathroom, and plenty of mirrors satisfied the girls' primping needs. The desk with internet/computer connections and wireless access made planning each day's excursions and keeping up with email a breeze; and a great flat screen TV made the time in the room (not that we spent much time there) pleasant. There was a basic but serviceable complementary breakfast each morning and wonder of wonders, bus service to New York's theater district right outside the hotel (The NJ transit's 320 bus for $3.15 one-way). Not luxury but an ideal place for a value-conscious couple or a family looking to see New York or the Meadowlands comfortably, safely, and with a minimum of headaches. I recommend it without reservation.”

• Nothing, they moved us to the Plaza Hotel.
• Amerisuites 2nd floor was not done?

“We arrived for check-in to find they did not have our three rooms for our family group. We had to drive to a different Hotel than the one we booked and paid for. It was not up to the standards we had set and we are all very disappointed in the experience.”

• The construction--but it was not a problem as we were just there to sleep.

“A great room for a family. Loved the breakfast included and the free parking. The bus to NY comes right outside the hotel and the restaurants & shops are right across the street. Love this place!”

• The room was newly renovated and had a 42 inch plasma TV.
• The breakfast was mediocre.

“The amerisuites is in the process of being renovated. The individual rooms were newly renovated with beautiful furniture, fixtures, pull-out sofa bed and 42 inch plasma TV. The advertised breakfast was that there were do-it-yourself waffles but when we got there, there were none. The eggs and sausage patty were not very good. But one can't complain since the rest of breakfast was not too bad. This is a great hotel if you want to go to nick without paying too much money. There is a bus right in front of the hotel that will bring you to nick for 2.85 us per person and it will drop you off in front of the hotel on the way back. One-way trip will be about 25 min. You can buy your tickets in the holiday inn gift shop or you can pay cash and get change back on the bus.”

• The rooms were much larger than expected with large flat screen televisions that were nice.
• Service was horrible. All common areas were under construction.

“By far, the worst hotel experience I have ever had. As I pulled up into the hotel's front entrance, I discovered that I was unable to drop off my disabled father in front of the door because the construction crew was blocking the entry. More upsetting was that the crew would not respond to my questions, but could obviously speak English because they asked me to back up when they almost dropped garbage on my car by accident. My father had to walk a long distance to the front door and then I had to back up onto a major road and drive the long way to the parking lot. There was only one person working the front desk with a long line which meant that it took 30 - 45 minutes for us to check-in. I wanted to speak with the manager about my experience which I thought was unacceptable, but she was over two hours late and hadn't arrived to work which probably contributed to the long line. To make matters worse, the entire public area was under construction, my room still smelled like paint and the complimentary breakfast was served in an alternate location and the food was sub-par. Maybe the hotel will be better post-construction, but they should not be open if they can't really accommodate guests.”

• Liked the spacious rooms and fridge, easy access to local sights.
• Reconstruction meant no lobby or gift shop; no microwave in room.

“Stayed here for a trade show exhibition at the Meadowlands Exhibition Center, this was adjacent. Convenient for business, but the hotel was under reconstruction since it was being changed to a Hyatt Place. So there was no lobby or gift shop available. No ice in the ice machines. The rooms were spacious and very clean, with a refrigerator and upscale coffee maker, but I was disappointed there was no microwave as advertised. Buffet breakfast was quite good. Since it was under construction, it's hard to give a fair description. If we needed anything, we were directed to the Holiday Inn across the street. Excellent access to restaurants and shops, and the bus was convenient for downtown trips. No shuttle to the airports. I can't fault the rooms, just the inconvenience caused by the reconstruction.”

• The staff was very nice and quick to process new guests.
• Nothing was wrong with the hotel or personnel.

“The hotel is clean and clearly well maintained. However, management should speak to someone within the mingles creek plaza administration building. Upon leaving the hotel, several signs point to route 3, yet none of which are easy to follow afterwards. In fact, you have signs that give contrasting directions to route 3. They clearly point in the wrong direction and force you to drive well out of your way before you realize it. Signage must be laid out properly so you can see when you need to make the next turn. Further, one sign says rt. 3 east (turn left), another sign says rt. 3 east (turn right). Very confusing - ask any one that works there. The mall is doing everyone that visits a dies-service in an effort to corral them to shopping interests. Very cheesy and unacceptable! Local management should raise this issue until it is resolved. I travel extensively throughout the u.s. And without question this is the most confusing mall complex area I¿ve visited in the previous 20 years and the signage absolutely contradicts itself.”

• Nice staff.
• Handicapped bathroom is very ugly, TV location in room is useless.

“Great place to stay while visiting New York because it's very convenient to the city but affordable because not in the city. They have almost everything I want in a hotel: free breakfast, free wireless internet, and a refrigerator in the room. The only thing missing and that I wish they had was a Jacuzzi. Also, the location of the TV in the room was stupid. It was half way between the bedroom and the lounge area so you couldn't really watch it from either. It should be in one or the other, or have two TV's.”

• Location, good room- kitchenette was a surprise, cleanliness.
• Maybe a few basic utensils that go along with the kitchenette would make it complete.

“this was my first visit to New York city with family. accessibility/proximity to Manhattan and a modest budget for the stay was my criteria. Found the hotel well located, in room kitchenette was a boon. (for my 3yr old son) well connected to Manhattan by the transit bus, shopping mall around was convenient too. The staff at amerisuites were very helpful in my queries to go around the Manhattan. In all, found the stay pleasant and exceeded our expectations!”

“I have stay here before but the hotel has definitely gone downhill. The rooms were dirty and in disrepair, chipped tubs, dirty walls, etc. We were traveling with my son and need to utilize the sleep sofa. I have never been in a "suite" hotel where there was no door on the bedroom to separate it from the living quarters (sleep sofa area). I will never stay at this hotel again, I don't care how convenient it was. I should have asked for my money back it was terrible. Don't send anyone here. Next time, the Embassy Suites in Harmon Meadow!”

“For those looking for easy access to NYC without the hassle of driving, parking, and the expense of staying in town, Ameri-Suites is a very convenient option. The staff is friendly, and the hotel is adequate, especially for the business traveler. It's a very good deal.”

• Bedding and mattress were somewhat cheap.

“Overall a very good value for visiting NYC. The NJ transit bus to Port Authority/Times Square was very convenient. Staying in Secaucus/Meadowlands instead of in town saved hotel costs, parking and tunnel tolls. The hotel was very clean with a nice breakfast service. There was plenty of family style dining nearby and the suite was very spacious. Well suited for business travelers as well as budget conscious weekday leisure travelers.”
