Hilton Meadowlands

We stayed for one night to attend a seminar at the hotel. Unfortunately, our stay coincided with renovations and a large dance competition, so the lobby and meeting areas were very noisy and most of the lobby was blocked off. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and had a nice view of the NYC skyline, but the hotel is in need of some maintenance attention (ripped carpets in the hallways, one elevator with no lights, broken equipment in the fitness center, etc.). We were told by a frequent visitor that it’s a nice hotel always well-maintained, and that the renovations will fix the issues. There were no restaurants onsite, so we caught a ride to the American Dream Mall (across the highway) for lunch and dinner. The location is convenient - less than a mile from MetLife Stadium and the American Dream Mall. Although both would be a short walk from the hotel, there unfortunately is no pedestrian bridge or walking path, and there was no hotel shuttle, so we had to get a rideshare ride to the mall, which had many good dining options.

The hotel is not really somewhere anyone should stay in its current condition. I was moved from the first room that was 90 degrees to another that was 80 degrees and the last was stuck at 77. It was way to hot. There is no restaurant/bar or even vending machine. There is nothing walkable so you are left to pay $20 each way to American Dream to eat. It needs serious upgrading. The staff were very pleasant.
