Around the Hotel

The Royal Motel is on a car-heavy strip, its position in Secaucus gives access to some major attractions other than just going into New York City. The most significant nearby landmark is American Dream, this huge entertainment and retail complex that is just about a 5-10 minute drive away. More than just a mall; inside here also houses Nickelodeon Universe theme park, DreamWorks Water Park(the largest indoor water park in North America) an indoor ski slope(Big SNOW), high-end luxury shopping. It turns Secaucus into a destination itself for families.

MetLife Stadium is right next door, home to the New York Jets and Giants, and massive global concert tours. A stay at the Royal Motel means you can catch a late-night game or concert, get back to your room quickly via a short Uber ride, and skip the nightmare of trying to catch a train back to NYC with thousands of other fans.

For those seeking nature, Mill Creek Marsh is shockingly close. Located just behind the shopping plazas, this restored wetland features walking trails where one can view egrets and other migratory birds with the Manhattan skyline in the background. A quiet escape for an early morning jog. Since there’s nothing at the motel, you are a short walk or drive from classic New Jersey diners and the Plaza Center which offers variety-from fast food to casual sit down restaurants like Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill.
