Extended Stay America - Meadowlands - East Rutherford

Hotel smells like wet dog because of carpets and because they allow animals in hotel. Staff is polite and helpful.

THE FIRST ROOM WE WERE GIVEN SMELLED BADLY OF CIGARETTE SMOKE, WE WENT BACK TO THE FRONT DESK AND THEY GAVE US A DIFFERENT ROOM. THE NEW ROOM WAS FINE AND SMELLED GOOD. OVERALL, NICE PLACE AND VERY FRIENDLY PEOPLE.

I was very disappointed with this property. It was very much a budget hotel - the towels were like sandpaper, no toiletries other than a tiny soap. Property needs updating and the rooms could be cleaner. The "free breakfast" included with the room was a joke! Coffee, granola bar and some mealy apples! Very close to the stadium but had to get to the property because while the address says it is on route 3, there is no entrance off of Route 3! Would not recommend this property.

For the most part pleasing experience. A solid "B" overall.

I loved nearly everything about this hotel. It's clean, well-kept, nicely lit, good location, wifi, nice parking, etc. You wont be disappointed, I promise you. ---HOWEVER, there are 2 issues, a relatively minor one compared to the MAJOR one. The major issue that it is important to be aware of is this hotel heavily lacks any supervision or security of any kind. Finding even a receptionist at the lobby "after hours" is tricky at best. Often you have to scream down the hallway or call the hotel repeatedly until you MIGHT get an old lady with a heavy accent on the phone that doesn't really know what you need. How am I supposed to check-in? Go around to the computer behind the desk myself??? ---On the same token, after dark you may notice odd people randomly going about. Whether an odd, dirty looking man, or a completely drunk and hysterically laughing group of girls. No one tells them to leave, and they are completely unsupervised. ---The relatively minor issue is that the "to-go" breakfast is a joke. It's a bunch of old fruits with stale coffee and granola bars. They REALLY need to invest in a decent breakfast that lasts until at least 10AM. I am not asking for a full meal, but at least some fresh cookies and bagels with decent coffee as well as AT LEAST SOME ORANGE JUICE. HELLO? CHEAP MUCH? ---Anyway, I don't regret my stay here and would stay here again, considering the dismal condition of hotels in New Jersey as a whole.

This hotel was clean and very convenient to stay at
