This property was previously a Crown Plaza hotel where my wife and I usually stay when we go to see plays in NYC. I recently converted to a Clarion hotel. I read some of the reviews after the conversion. I ignored the negative reviews I saw thinking that by now they would have been correted.Not So. Only one of the... More

My decision to stay at the Empire Meadowlands hotel, proved to be a terrific choice. Is is really ideally located. There are a couple of choices of public transportation available right nearby and it took under a half an hour to get right into the city. The room we stayed it was really nice and comfortable. We even had a... More

I have now stayed at this hotel 2 times in the last year. Both times the hotel served the purpose for what I needed. Both times however the temperature in the room was not acceptable and the hotel was not able to provide any relief. The first time I stayed was in August of 2012 and it was a hot... More

The location of this hotel is very good if you are planning to visit NYC. There is a coach less than 100 meters away that will take you to Central station for less than $3.00 in under 30 minutes. I took the buffet package and it was well worth it. We had to change rooms two times though. First time... More

Friendly staff, comfortable room, everything was OK. Quick and early checkin - front desk was accomodating and welcoming. Older property needing an update. Elevator was slow and noisy. Lamp in room was sort of stacked - when I moved it it was in pieces held together by the cord. My room overlooked the meadowlands.

My travel group stayed here last week for four nights while on our visit to New York City. Location is pretty good; just a 15 minute drive through the Lincoln Tunnel each day to be in NY City. An average or less hotel in my experience. Breakfast buffet each morning was O.K. with usual steam table scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles,... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for the Beatles convention. The hotel is definitely showing some wear and tear. I read before going that a renovation was going on but I didn't see any signs of that. But it really needs it - lots of peeling and chipped paint, our bathroom was very bare and looked like the...

Made arrangements for this hotel through Priceline. Given the price paid, I was reasonably satisfied. This former Crown Plaza has not yet put up a Clarion sign. It is within good proximity to the NJ Turnpike, Lincoln Tunnel and Secaucus train station. Check in was quick and friendly staff readily assisted with travel arrangements. King room was clean, sufficiently spacious... More

I stayed at the Empire Hotel by Clarion from March 18th through March 21st. I was a chaperone on a school trip and carelessly, I left my iPod in my room. I called the hotel and left a message stating that I thought the iPod was in my room. The next day I received a call from Tulia Valencia telling... More
