Holiday Inn Hasbrouck Heights-Meadowlands

Wow, my co-​pilot said it was a nice hotel but only if you like dreary NJ motels. The ceilings were maybe 7′ high, I could easily jump and touch the ceilings and I’m only 5’9″ — and I can’t jump!
There was a musty odor permeating the entire 1^st floor.
The ‘fitness’ center was small and meagerly equipped.
I will not be staying here again unless it’s the only hotel available within a 30 mile radius of Teterboro airport!

Everyone was so friendly. Tonya at the front desk was so awesome. I misplaced my diabetic monitoring kit somewhere in the room and later to find out that house keeping had it while making up the bed in my room it was along the blankets that was taken from my room. Tonya even took out the time to help me look for it. After not finding it, she took the time to call and ask me where did I purchase it and to my surprise she purchased me a brand new kit. I was very happily pleased with her great attitude and how she really was concern about me. Great service and I must say she went way and beyond to make me happy. Thanks!

For a small wedding… #BOOM!
We had a great time, food was great. Had filet med rare… Mmmmmm
Dessert bar way clutch with open bar. Rock n roll.

Gabriel’s is probably the best kept secret in northern New Jersey. In Wednesday nights they have a prime rib dinner for $ 20 which is outstanding. The desserts and all the food are fabulous and the wait staff is attentive.

staff are nice, clean …

It is amazing how the people truly make your experience. Even though there seemed to be a fairly recent renovation, the hotel still had a motel feel to it. For example, there are no closets in the room, the décor and fixtures are still dated, etc. However, the people I have been in touch with have been very pleasant and very helpful. This includes the front desk staff, housekeeping, and even the wait staff during the buffet breakfast. Jessie, one of the servers during breakfast, was particularly cheerful and attentive. I certainly appreciated this as he certainly elevated the usual robotic server experience. So thank you for an enjoyable 2-​night stay!

Friendly staff. Good TV and TV selection. Clean. Decent outdoor pool. Enjoyed the on-​location restaurant. Nice bed. Fairly spacious room and bathroom. Good location. Would definitely return.

Service is great. Here for an office meeting. Staff is attentive. Clean, coffee station always full which is brilliant for an all day office conference.

Good location near Teterboro airport where we parked the airplane. Good amount of elec outlets for the stuff we pack. Nice enough rooms. We were put here via Meridian Aviaiton. Good choice.

I stayed here on business so I didn’t care about the attached Bananas Comedy Club. I stay in tons of HI properties and this one was exactly as expected.
1. My room was clean and well maintained.
2. The staff was friendly and responsive.
3. The price was right.
4. Parking was easy.
5. The Wi-​Fi was surprisingly super fast.
6. The hotel restaurant was a notch better than usual.
This was a nice A-​OK property so they get three stars from me.

Only stayed here one night but I found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful when checking in. My room was very nice, clean, spacious, and current. I would definitely stay here again.

My overall stay was great after a poor start. I stayed at this hotel in December for 6 nights. The first room they assigned me was not a good room. The heater was old and did not have a thermostat. It was very loud and noisy. The bathroom was old and run down from the sink to the floors to the shower. I asked about switching rooms and they said possibly the next day.
That first evening, there was a Christmas party in the restaurant of the hotel. A very loud DJ blasted dance music from about 7 until 11:30. My room was even louder. There had been no warning that this would be the case while checking in to the hotel.
The next morning, I went down and asked Melisa at the desk about switching rooms. She gave me a key to a room in the back of the hotel. It was a better room, but I wanted a room with sunlight. I immediately went back down to the desk to ask for a room with sunlight and suggested which hallway I’d like to stay in, based on a map of the hotel.
She offered yet another room and that room was fantastic. It has a new updated heated with a thermostat and it ran quietly. It had a new bathroom with updated appliances and very clean floors. The room was flooded with sunlight. And for the rest of my stay, there was no dance music invading my walls from outside sources.
The food from room service was average at best. The wings were disgusting but my burger was decent.
The wifi worked great the whole time I was there. It was free as well.
The staff was extremely courteous, especially Melisa who arranged for my room switch. All in all, I was very happy there. I will stay there again and will go out of my way to make sure I have an updated room on the sunny side of the hotel.

I booked this room via live-​chatting with one of their representatives on their website in July. It showed up in full ($ 167) on my July credit card statement, which I then paid off. When I went to check in, they told me that the room wasn’t paid for because they always charge the cards at check-​out. I had to pull up my credit card statement to prove to them that I paid in advance. In addition, they placed a $ 55 «hold» on my card in case I wanted to use the card for breakfast or room service.
The next morning I went to check out and wanted to do so in person rather than with the TV, because I wanted to make sure that they did not charge me again. They told me the total stay was $ 195 and so I owed them money, claiming that it was taxes and fees. I did not charge anything to my room, and I knew I had paid in full for the room INCLUDING the tax, so I had to talk to the manager to clear things up. She had to override the charge. Make sure you check your bill at checkout!
Other than that, the hotel was nice. My girlfriends and I went to Banana’s comedy club and really enjoyed our time there, although the one-​drink minimum was a little annoying because the drinks were $ 9, but tasty. The beds in the hotel room were nice, and the room was clean. The breakfast is NOT included, and was nothing spectacular, taste-​wise.
Buffet was French toast, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, yogurt, bagels, muffins, cereal. They also have a menu that you can order off that isn’t too unreasonably priced. I believe I paid $ 10.50 for an omelette.

Hotel has been redone but a few years ago. It’s starting to get rundown again. Elevator is wicked slow. Some of the fitness center equipment is old and rundown. Front desk crew work very hard and are very nice. Front lobby smells like ash tray all time becasue smoking area is right out front and the wind blows all the second hand smoke inside. Restaurant has good food.

I really wanted to give this place a better rating but the level of service just didn’t do it for me.
Let me just say I loved the room — slept great… but that is all I loved about this place.
Had to book this room last minute due to an emergency. Walked in and waited for the front desk agent to check us in… and waited… no one was to be found. Had to get another employee to find the front desk person. I would have been more understanding if there was a «be right back» sign but nothing. Waited about 15 minutes. When he finally came, was treated very disrespectfully.
I wrote a letter to management and all they did was offer me bonus points, as to wash their hands from the situation. Sorry but a phone call to further discuss the situation would have been more appropriate. Of course I appreciate the bonus points, but I doubt you have really discussed this matter with your staff.

We were heading to NJ to go to Medieval times and I originally wanted to stay in Lyndhurst to be down the road from the restaurant but they had no vacancy. So my wife found this place, it was only 8 minutes away from Medieval times so that was a bonus. Upon checking they have more than enough parking for all of their guest. The lobby is nice and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. They actually printed me out directions to medieval times and told me how to get there. The rooms were spotless, clean and smelled terrific. I didn’t care for the beds though I could not get comfortable at all and I didn’t sleep very well. They was a lot of local people staying at the hotel because most of the town lost power due to the storm. They have a fitness facility and a outside swimming pool. They are located close to everything, if you wanted to go see a Giants game they are 15 minutes away, if you wanted to go to Manhattan they are 20 minutes away, in my view this is great because you aren’t paying a arm and a leg for a room and yet you are not too far away from some good attractions. They have a restaurant and comedy club also in the hotel. The restaurant and bar was ok. I went down to the bar to have a few drinks and asked the bar tender if she could turn up the volumes on the tv’s so I can watch the football games. She replied no I can’t we usually have a jukebox playing and the owners doesn’t want the tv’s loud. Didn’t make any sense to me because the jukebox wasn’t working because of the storm. Would I stay here again… yes i sure would. But I would not eat at their restaurant, there are far better restaurants in the area to dine at.

Why there are no other hotels in this area is beyond me. The only competition Holiday Inn has is the Hilton. And while the Hilton may offer more amenities, Holiday Inn offers a lower price. But $ 120 a night in Hasbrouck Heights isn’t a value.
If you go up 17 and exit on Paterson Plank, there’s a Holiday Inn Express that charges less than $ 100 a night. So why the extra $$$?
My theory?
Bananas
Bananas is the comedy club located inside the hotel. I think the charge goes to cover the lack of business that Bananas generates.
It’s a flawed theory I’ll admit, but I really don’t have an answer here.
The rooms at this Holiday Inn are super clean and the the bathroom is immaculate. There’s a McDonald’s in walking distance and tons of dining options within a 1-​mile radius.
But man the pricing.
It’s bananas…

I stayed here on a Sat. night with a friend after seeing a comedy show and having a few drinks at the bar (both located inside of this hotel). The staff were all very friendly and the room was $ 140 plus tax (it would’ve been $ 120, had we booked online). The room was very clean and parking is free in front of the hotel. The area is kind of blah right off of the highway, but there seemed to be many guests and also a wedding going on. If I had to stay again in that area, I would go here.
