Holiday Inn Express And Suites Carlstadt, Carlstadt

It was only a few miles from NYC, where most hotels were 2-3 times the price of this one, and this was a very nice hotel, with large rooms, new and modern design and decorating, very clean, a fridge and microwave in the room, large TV, wonderful bathroom, etc. etc... The free breakfast is better than any I've experienced. The place was kind of hard to find at first, made a few wrong turns due to the directions. One time the housekeeper came into the room while we were sleeping, but I guess that's our own fault for not putting the "do not disturb" sign on the door. We also had the room right by the lobby and the elevator, so there was some noise..next time would request a different room. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Three family members and I just arrived from a single night at the Holiday Inn Express Meadowlands in Carlsdadt, New Jersey. We got one night free with our Priority Club Reward Points, and we left the hotel without paying a penny, not even for additional taxes and such. The hotel is up-to-date, extremely clean and offers many amenities, such as a matching fridge and microwave in our room, which had two queen-sized beds rather than two double beds, much to our content. The hotel apparently has both an indoor and outdoor pool, but we only witnessed one of them, the indoor one, but were unfortunately unable to swim in the short period of time we spent there. The television channels were excellent, with several sports/cartoon/specialty channels, something to please the whole family. Our toilet 'broke' at one point, but with a little manipulation, we got it going again without having to call a care-taker. The service was friendly and courteous and breakfast was incredible and had more than we were expecting, with fruit, cereal, muffins, danishes, doughnuts, toast, juice, coffee, and hot, gooey cinnamon buns that were to die for. We travelled into NYC by bus, which brought us straight to the port authority in Manhattan for a small charge, which beats paying attrocious prices for parking in a lot. All in all, we had a great stay at this hotel and would be more than likely to return in a future visit to New York City!
