Extended Stay Hotels for Fans Following Multiple Matches
If your national team is based in the NY/NJ region for the group stages, or if you are simply a diehard fan attending six matches over three weeks, living out of a standard hotel room will quickly become exhausting and incredibly expensive. Extended stay hotels are the solution.
1. Homewood Suites by Hilton East Rutherford
This is arguably the premier extended stay property near MetLife Stadium. Every suite features a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and stovetop. They offer a complimentary hot breakfast daily and a free evening social on weekdays, drastically reducing your food budget.
2. Extended Stay America - Secaucus - Meadowlands
If you are on a tighter budget but still need a kitchen, this is the most economical choice. While it lacks the premium amenities of the Hilton properties, it is incredibly cheap for long-term stays, offers on-site guest laundry (critical for a three-week trip), and is extremely close to the Secaucus transit hub.
3. Candlewood Suites Secaucus, an IHG Hotel
Candlewood Suites is designed entirely around long-term stays. They feature full kitchens, free laundry machines, and an outdoor gazebo grill area which is perfect for hosting mini-tailgates with other fans staying at the hotel.
Extended Stay Survival
- Grocery Deliveries:
Instead of eating out for 14 straight days, use apps like Instacart to have groceries delivered directly to your suite on day one.
- Laundry Strategy:
If you only brought one national team jersey, you will need to wash it repeatedly. Ensure your chosen hotel has coin-operated guest laundry facilities.
