La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Secaucus Meadowlands

Okay for One Night maybe Two max The room had trash left in the trashcan, which left us to wonder how thoroughly it was cleaned or if it was even cleaned at all. I wiped some surfaces and toilet seat down with a lysol wipe just incase. The wall had a hole in it. I am assuming from the door possibly slamming into it. The bed wasn't super comfortable. I did like that the bedroom and living area were separated from each other. You can stay up and watch TV and not disturb someone who wants to sleep in or go to bed early. Both the living room and bedroom had its own TV. It also had two separate air conditioning units. The handle on the toilet needed to be held down for it to completely flush.It's not a big deal, just something I noticed. The carpets are old, but I walked around in slippers or flip-flops. There is an Olive Garden around the corner. The gas stations are around the corner but on the other side of the highway. I'm happy that it came with free Breakfast. It was basic stuff, but perfect for our overnight stay - Bagels, toast, yogurt, oatmeal, eggs, sausage, and potatoes. They had small waffles and two types of cereal (cheerios and special K). Apples and oranges. Your choice of coffee, tea, milk, water, orange, apple, or cranberry juice. I had breakfast at 7:30AM. It was pretty much empty. When I went back down around 830 and again at 915 (kids wake up different times), it was crowded and louder in the area. I preferred the opening time. The kids brought the food back to the room to eat. Overall, it wasn't bad for a one night stay. It definitely can use updating and patch work. If I was staying longer than a night or two, I may look elsewhere.

Nice scam! Be aware if you use the phone number on their web site you will be charged immediately and when you actually go to the hotel they will claim they did not get paid and charge you again. Hotel is mediocre but you get what you pay for. I have disputed both charges without satisfaction to date. Consumer beware!

Dilapidated, paint peeling, claims to be smoke free but “reeks of cigarettes”. 8/7/24- confirmed with Joe at front desk We checked in on August 7 2024. From the entrance itself theres worn out concrete and peeling paint. A month later they still have worn out July 4 decorations up in the lobby- this general lack of maintenance should have tipped us off. The front desk attendant “joe” just said “yeh we tell people not to smoke but we cant stop them” and said “yeh we dont have any smoke free rooms but i’ll make a note of it for tomorrow”- it is supposed to be an entirely smoke free hotel. The “suite” rooms have a queen bed and a terrible pull out sofabed that has plastic sheeting on it and springs sticking out. I’d give this place negative stars if i could. In fact I feel sorry for the guy Joe who has to work here and answer to customers because of the terrible management of this place. We will be sleeping with the lights on - with the general lack of upkeep scared a roach might crawl onto my kids . Can’t wait to get the hell out of this awfully managed property in the morning.

Unfortunately a Bad Experience I had in the past stayed at la Quinta and this time I arrived early as we always do , checking with the receptionist if my reservation was all set for 2 rooms side by side and with 2 queen beds on each room wish she said will be fine. But for my surprise when I came back from Manhattan all was wrong.I have just checked into my room which was supposed to be for 4 adults and was unfortunately only received a "king bed" that can roughly fit 2 adults and a sofa bed which should not be considered a bed at all. There is a barely a mattress only a thin layer protecting the bedsheets from really touching the springs of the couch. Before my check in I was told that my reservation would be of two queen beds which would fit 4 adults comfortably. Along with the lack of beds we also experienced what appears to be black mold all along the bathroom ceiling, lack of towels, lack of bedding to cover the couch pull over etc. Once we questioned the hotel representatives we were basically offered to leave and get a refund or stay in the conditions we DID NOT agree to or pay for. At 11PM it was far from what I expected . We were tired and of course disappointed.

It's what you paid for Old hotel in the middle of office bldgs. No choices for food in the area. Not really recommending it. Help yourself not to experience with the hotel although the staff were good ( for the staff 4⭐️ , bldg,Room,facilities 2⭐️) that's why I give 3⭐️ because the staff were helpful, nice and friendly.
