Hilton Garden Inn Secaucus/Meadowlands

Directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan, Hilton Garden Inn Secaucus/Meadowlands is just 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) from Midtown via the Lincoln Tunnel. A New Jersey Transit bus stops just 0.2 miles (0.3 kilometers) from the hotel, for convenient access to the Times Square area. Hop aboard, and you'll be in the city in about 15 minutes. (You can buy tickets for a guided tour of Manhattan at the front desk-the Gray Line tour bus picks you up at the hotel.)

This newly renovated Secaucus hotel is also an easy 10-minute drive from both the Harmon Cove Outlet Center and the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The huge sports complex includes the Meadowlands Racetrack; popular concert venue IZOD Center; and New Meadowlands Stadium, home of the Jets and the Giants (and future site of the 2014 Super Bowl). Newark International Airport and Teterboro Airport are each within a 20-minute drive.

After a busy day, treat yourself to dinner at La Estrella del Caribe, right in front of the hotel. This popular eatery dishes up Caribbean and American cuisine (and its kitchen delivers your room-service orders). In the morning, you can enjoy hot and cold buffet breakfast (surcharge) in the hotel restaurant. For middle-of-the-night munchies, the 24-hour convenience store sells snacks and prepared meals. Need to burn off a few calories? The hotel offers a fitness center and a heated indoor pool, plus a spa tub to unwind after a healthy workout. If you need to catch up on work or print your boarding pass, the business center is open for your convenience 24 hours a day. You can even print remotely, and securely, from your room to the business center at no extra charge. This hotel is completely smoke-free.

When you're ready to call it a night, your smoke-free guestroom is a welcome retreat. Cook up some popcorn in the microwave, grab a cold drink from the compact fridge, and settle in to watch your favorite HBO shows on the 37-inch flat-screen TV. You can stay in touch with friends back home via complimentary WiFi and wired Internet. Snuggle into a Garden Sleep System™ Bed for a good night's sleep. The bedside clock radio includes an MP3 connection, so you can rise and shine to your own playlist. And, the Cuisinart® coffeemaker will help perk up your day.
