this hotel forced my wife and I to leave the hotel @9p.m. Because we complained to priority club which we are platinum members that they were over an hour late picking us up . The hotel manager said if we did not leave they would call the autorities and have us removed.

The reviews of this hotel here on Trip Advisor are mostly positive and it is fair to say that we had a decent stay at the hotel but not as good as many have made out. We booked two separate queen rooms for 4 adults (2 x married couples) and arrived quite late at night from London.
The hotel is not easy to find and whatever you do forget using mapquest for directions as it will not get you there. We had to stop at another suites hotel and get directions to Candlewood. The hotel itself is in the middle of an industrial zone so there are no restaurants close by so unless you have a car where you can go out there is only the choice of eating in from ready meals sourced in the in-house shop or get a local carry-out eaterie to deliver to your room.
The staff are extremely helpful and nothing is too much bother to try and help you and this is a huge positive for the hotel the staff are undoubtedly one of the best things about Candlewwod Secaucus.
After our long day travelling to New Jersey we accepted the rooms we got but next day I upgraded the two rooms to a double queen size and this suited us better. I have to say the standard queen size room is on the small size and if you have stayed in suite hotels before in America like Homestead or Extended Stay you will be shocked by how small and compact the standard queen suite is at Candlewood. The double queen suite was much better and spacious and was worth the extra money.
The hotel shuttle bus will take you round to Secaucus Junction station (less than 10
minutes away) and it is only a 7 minute ride and no stops on the train to Penn Street Station in New York City (34th Street & 7th).
It is undoubtedly the fastest and cheapest way in to downtown Manhattan and is all told a very reliable and frequent suburbun train service and cheap too (about $10 return trip for one adult).
The hotel is good and extremely reasonable value but some of the rooms (lower numbered rooms) are close to the New Jersey Turnpike which passes close by and the traffic noise is considerable.
When we upgraded our rooms to the double queen we moved along the corridor away from the Turnpike side and the noise was reduced dramatically. If you are a light sleeper you don't want to be anywhere near that wing of the hotel if you can help it.
All in all a few positives from our stay at Candlewood and a couple of negatives but overall good value for money if you are prepared to stay just outside Manhatten and pay the few dollars to travel in each day.

Beautiful, well designed and clean. The staff was friendly and went beyond expectations to help. It was delightful and I would highly recommend it. We traveled across 5 states, this was by far the best experience we had in hotels. There are kitchenettes in every room. That included a full size refrigerator, two burner stove, toaster, coffee pot, microwave. On the good and bad side, there was no housekeeping unless you were there for more than a week. However, you could ask for clean towels, etc if needed. You were also offered a choice of pillows.

We stayed here to travel back and forth to NYC. This was a great choice for value and location. The hotel is close (driving distance) to the outlets in Secaucus, movies and restaurants. It only took us 15 minutes via the Lincoln Tunnel to get to Manhattan. The hotel is clean, comfortable and the kitchenettes are a plus. The staff was courteous and helpful.
