I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Meadowlands, and the experience was genuinely good. The staff were welcoming from the moment I arrived, and the overall atmosphere felt comfortable and well‑maintained. One detail that really stood out was the bathroom. It was spotless — the kind of clean where you can tell housekeeping pays attention to the small things. The fixtures were shiny, the shower looked freshly scrubbed, and there wasn’t a trace of mildew or residue anywhere. It made the stay feel that much more relaxing and cared for. Between the clean bathroom and the convenient location, I’d happily stay here again. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for comfort, cleanliness, and reliable service.

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Meadowlands. The hotel was impressively clean, my room was spotless and well-kept. However, the water never got hot; it remained lukewarm, which was disappointing in winter. I also had repeated issues with key cards, needing to get them reprogrammed often. On the bright side, I loved the 24/7 bean-to-cup coffee in the lobby—it was a great amenity. And the breakfast wasn’t half bad either!

The breakfast was great. Our room toilet got clogged each night and overflowed one night. I was offered another room but my son was not feeling well and he was sleeping peacefully as it was about 10:00 that evening. So I decided to stay on that room. It would have been nice to have been given a free night or money back for the terrible inconvenience.

Room was super dusty. Lampshade was gross. Shower curtain didn’t fit shower. Jelly and syrup bottles in breakfast area had hair on them - individual closed mini containers would have been way more sanitary. Pool was ok but could have been 2 degrees warmer for the winter.

Very convenient location if you are visiting American Dream. The restaurant nextdoor has the most incredible atmosphere and you can walk right over! The pool was just big enough for some play time for the kids to ge followed up with an ice cream bar from the lobby store! Great options at breakfast and the dining area was very chic. Will definitely stay again!
