Just a quick hop across the Hudson River from New York City lies Secaucus, New Jersey, a suburban enclave that feels far removed from the Big Apple bustle. For its residents and commuting workers, Secaucus offers the best of both worlds: easy access to the iconic sites of Manhattan and New York, and a retreat from the same. Better yet for holidaymakers is the fact that the best hotels in Secaucus offer just as much comfort as the finest in New York, but at much more affordable rates. Here are the top hotels in Secaucus – bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Courtyard Secaucus Meadowlands, for easy escapes
