The hype
Guests love the location for concerts and games, praising the clean, modern rooms and friendly staff.
Springhill Suites By Marriott East Rutherford Mead
$150-250/ night
Book this if You're hitting MetLife Stadium or American Dream with a group and want a clean, spacious crash pad with easy NYC bus access.
Why People Love It
- Walking distance (or very short shuttle/Uber) to MetLife Stadium and American Dream
- NJ Transit bus 163/164 to NYC stops literally right in front of the hotel
- Spacious suites with West Elm decor and trundle beds for extra guests
Quick Take: A solid, modern base for Meadowlands events, but the 'barn door' bathrooms offer zero privacy and you'll likely have to beg for trundle bed linens.
Reviewed by @willianaashley: I can't believe how close this is to MetLife! The rooms are super functional with great desks, and the free breakfast is a lifesaver. If you're planning for the World Cup or any big game, you need to book this spot before it's gone. Seriously convenient.

Insider Tips
- ✨
The 'City View' isn't just a marketing gimmick; on a clear day, you can actually see the NYC skyline from upper floors.
- ✨
Walk to Redd's Restaurant & Bar nearby before a game—they often have their own shuttle or it's a great pre-game vibe.
- ✨
If you need trundle bed linens, ask at check-in immediately; do not wait until bedtime as housekeeping leaves early.
