• Size of the room, location to public transportation, free parking.
• Size of lobby.

“This hotel makes it easy to get to New York City (although traffic on a Friday night took about an hour) for $6.30 round trip. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had good amenities; however, the lobby was small. Hotel staff was polite and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.”

• Very helpful staff, big and nice rooms, great safe location, restaurants close by, good shuttle service. Bus at back door to NYC.
• The elevators were very loud. We were only two rooms away and were woken in the night and had to get ear plugs to sleep through noise of the elevators.

“This hotel was a gorgeous, safe and conveniently located hotel in the NJ area. Rooms were really big and clean. Breakfast was good, no pastries as it says on the website, but no big deal. Fresh apples in lobby everyday. Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Great shuttle service that will take you pretty much where ever you want in the area(does not go to NYC). The New Jersey transit was located out the back of the hotel, which was great! The bus is very pricey tho, going back and forth. $3.15 each, no transfers or day passes. Spent $25 for 2 peole a day on the bus. But not a downfall on the hotel at all. The hotel is also walking distance to dining around the area, like Chili's, Red Lobster, The Outback Steak House, Burger King, and more. The shuttle took us to the Olive Garden, which was about 10mins away. Walmart is located around the corner, which is where our GPS lead us too on the way there. And apparently a lot of people ( following a GPS) is lead to this location when driving”

“I enjoyed the hotel. The only thing
I was disappointed in was that there was an outdoor pool, but no pool when we got there. Since I was traveling with children I would not have stayed there because we were looking for a hotel with a pool.”

• Clean, Nice Rooms, close to resaurants, stores, on bus route to NY.
• The only complain I have is the continental breakfast was horrible. They didn't even have cream for the coffee.

“I would definitley stay at this hotel again. I liked it very much. The price we received with priceline could not be beat. Hyatt is definitley on my list as the hotel to stay at. My only compaint was continental breakfast was probably one of the worst I have ever had.”

• Shower was awful. Pressure went up and down. Room was dirty.

“I had been staying in Marriott for the last 2 months and finally got into a Hyatt. This hotel was not what
I expected. Rug needed replacing and shower was awful. Linens and bed were ok. Staff was great. Breakfast was great. I would rather stay in a Marriott now. This is not up to Hyatt standard i remember.”

“I really appreciated how helpful and friendly the hotel staff were during our stay there at the Hyatt. Any questions that we had were answered and we were never treated as if we were a bother to anyone. The bus stopped right outside of the hotel for transportation to the port authority which is a block from times square so that we extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend the hotel to my friends and family!”

“The location is good. There are buses from Manhattan and this hotel, which takes only 20 minutes or less. The room is huge, so our family felt very comfortable after small Boston hotel. And perfectly clean (non-smoking room) and Starbucks morning coffee is also good and you may take it out as much as possible!”

“My husband and I have stayed at several hotels in the Secaucus area over the past few years but none as modern, functional and well maintained as the Hyatt Place. Every aspect of this hotel was very pleasant. The staff was friendly and you could always count on a smile from a passing employee. The free continental breakfast was generous and very tasty. The rooms were in excellent condition with large screen TV, comfortable bed and separate living room. The hotel is ideally located for travelers to New York City with the bust stopping right across the street.”

“Hotel exceeded expectations. Room was gorgeous, staff friendly and helpful. Switched us from a room with a king bed to 2 doubles as requested with no problems. Only complaint was the lack of smoking rooms. Apparently they have only 2 rooms in the entire hotel and both were booked when I checked in. (I had called the day before and was told that the entire hotel was non-smoking). Hotel needs to be more accommodating to ALL guests, not just non-smokers. Plenty of restaurants nearby.”

• Great amenities and value for family.
• Quality of food served for breakfast was a bit below expectations.

“This hotel is in a great location, surrounded by shops and restaurants. Two double beds and a large sofa sleeper in the room really make it attractive to a family with children. Children are always hungry, so having continental breakfast was very helpful. And there's the option of purchasing fresh cooked food from their kitchen 24 hours a day. From this hotel, the Path train and Lincoln Tunnel are easily accessible for trips into Manhattan. The staff was very friendly and even offered to heat up some leftovers for the kids in their microwave in the kitchen.”

• 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.”

“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.”
