La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Clifton/Rutherford Clifton (NJ) United States

Escape to Clifton, NJ: Luxury & Comfort Await at La Quinta Inn & Suites!

Escape to Clifton, NJ: Seriously, La Quinta's Got Game (and Probably a Killer Breakfast) 🛌🚗🍔

Okay, deep breath. This is not going to be your average, sterile hotel review. I'm talking real-deal, tell-it-like-it-is, "did the coffee taste like sadness or actual coffee?" type of review. We're diving into La Quinta Inn & Suites in Clifton, NJ, and let's be honest, sometimes you just need a solid hotel. Not a palace, not a dive – just… a good hotel. And that's what we're aiming for here. Plus, I'm hungry.

First Impressions & Getting There: Smooth Sailing (Mostly)

Accessibility is key, right? Especially if you've, you know, got any physical limitations. La Quinta seems to be doing a decent job. Wheelchair accessible is a big plus, and they have facilities for disabled guests mentioned - a good starting point, though I’d want to investigate exactly what that entails. Elevator? Check! That's huge. Navigating the whole Clifton thing and getting to the hotel? Depends on your route. They mention Airport transfer and Taxi service, so you're covered there, and free Car park [on-site] is always a win, especially in Jersey. The car park [free of charge] is also a big bonus! Parking in the city… ugh.

Cleanliness & Safety: Can I Breathe Easy?

This is where things get interesting these days. I’m a bit of a germaphobe, so I'm all ears for the Anti-viral cleaning products, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Daily disinfection in common areas. Staff trained in safety protocol, and they have a Hygiene certification? Sounds promising. The Hand sanitizer dispensers better be plentiful (judgey eyes). Rooms sanitized between stays is essential, in my book. The Hot water linen and laundry washing is also important. They're even offering Sanitized kitchen and tableware items – well, this is already looking better than some spots. The Physical distancing of at least 1 meter is what I’m looking for, too.

The Room Itself: My Personal Fortress (Maybe)

Okay, let's talk room specifics. They listed a ton of stuff, which is both exciting and overwhelming. Let's see…

Air conditioning? Amen. New Jersey summers are brutal.
Free Wi-Fi: YES! Gotta stay connected.
Blackout curtains: Crucial for sleeping in.
Coffee/tea maker: Essential for function.
Desk: Gotta get some work done (ugh).
Bathtub and separate shower: Now we're talking.
Safe box and Safety/security feature: Peace of mind is priceless.
Satellite/cable channels: Gotta have something to watch, always.
Non-smoking rooms: Thank goodness.
Internet access – wireless, Internet access – LAN: Okay, they've figured out the internet situation, which is a total win.
Mirror: Got to get ready for the day.
Hair dryer: No suitcase space for my own.
Wake-up service: Important, as I struggle with waking up.
Free bottled water: Good! Not having to pay is always a plus.
Extra long bed: Need this.

The inclusion of an Additional toilet could be great for some, and the Interconnecting room(s) available could be great to accommodate guests, as well.

Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Fuel for Adventure (Or Netflix)

This is a big one. Gotta keep the engine running, yeah? Here's what they've got:

Breakfast [buffet]!: Hopeful emoji. Breakfast buffets can be heaven or hell. Pray for fluffy scrambled eggs. Breakfast service is always a plus. They offer Asian breakfast (Asian cuisine in restaurant!) and Western breakfast (Western cuisine in restaurant!), but I can't verify how diverse it is.
Restaurant? Cool. Are we talking fancy or casual? Is there Coffee/tea in restaurant? And, let's be honest… is there Desserts in restaurant?
Room service [24-hour]: Gasp Okay, I'm sold. That's a huge win.
Snack bar: Because let’s face it, we all need a midday snack.
Poolside bar: If I'm going to relax and unwind, I need a drink by the pool.
Bottle of water: A good thing to provide.
A la carte in restaurant: This could provide more food options to choose from.

I don't see a specific lunch menu. However, Alternative meal arrangement and Vegetarian restaurant are shown, so I think there are plenty of options for all.

Things to Do (or Not Do): Relaxation Station or Bust!

This is where La Quinta could really shine. They've got the potential for a good time here.

Swimming pool [outdoor]: Perfect for NJ heat.
Swimming pool: Looks like they are having multiple pools.
Fitness center: Gotta work off that buffet (or whatever).
Sauna, Spa/sauna: Relaxing is important, and the ability to release stress is important.
Massage: This is absolutely a win!

I'm a big fan of a good pool, and an outdoor pool is amazing!

Services & Conveniences: Making Life Easier (Hopefully)

This is where a hotel earns its stripes. Here's the breakdown:

24-hour front desk, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service: Essential for a smooth stay.
Concierge: Helpful for local tips.
Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange: Good for travelers.
Convenience store: Emergency snacks and essentials.
Meeting/banquet facilities: Okay, not my thing, but good for business travelers.
Ironing service: Because wrinkles are the enemy.
Luggage storage: Always appreciated.

They have a Business facilities and Meetings, as well as Audio-visual equipment for special events. The details here are important.

Internet Access: The Digital Lifeblood

Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! - YES! Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services: Sounds like they are ready. We're talking quality, uninterrupted streaming here. This is crucial! I need to stay connected, so this is a core requirement for me.

For the Kids: Family-Friendly?

They mention Babysitting service and Family/child friendly, which is nice if you're traveling with the little ones.

In Conclusion: Is La Quinta in Clifton Worth It?

Look, La Quinta Inn & Suites in Clifton won't win any awards for being a glamorous destination. But based on what I see, it could be a solid, comfortable, and convenient option. They seem to have prioritized the essentials – cleanliness, internet, a decent breakfast (fingers crossed!), and enough amenities to make your stay pleasant.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your pristine, perfectly formatted travel brochure itinerary. This is my trip to La Quinta in Clifton/Rutherford, NJ, and let's be honest, it's probably going to be a glorious, chaotic mess. Here we go…

Day 1: Arrival & the Eternal Quest for Reasonable Coffee

1:00 PM: Landed at Newark. Whew. The air in Newark always feels like it's got a hint of… I don't know, desperation? Anyway, Uber to La Quinta. Traffic was, naturally, a beast. Almost missed my exit because I was too busy frantically googling "best bagels near La Quinta." Priorities, people!
2:00 PM: Check-in. The front desk guy, bless his heart, looked like he'd seen a week of weary travelers stumble through his doors. He was nice, though, and managed to get me a room that didn't smell too strongly of industrial cleaner. Score.
2:30 PM: The coffee situation. Oh, the coffee. I'm a coffee snob, I admit it. The complimentary "coffee" in the lobby looked like battery acid mixed with despair. Took a desperate swig. Regret. Immediate, soul-crushing regret. Decided to brave the outside world.
3:00 PM: The bagel hunt. Found a little deli, "Clifton Bagel & Deli" (highly recommended, though the line was LONG). Bagel with cream cheez, and coffee was a bit better, but still not quite the nectar of the gods. The whole experience just felt more Jersey, I swear. People were talking loud about the Giants and the humidity. I loved it.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Settled into the room. Did some work (ugh). The internet felt like dial-up, which may have been a contributing factor to the general feeling of existential dread washing over me. Took a break to stare out the window and wonder about the lives of my neighbors. Who are those people? What are they up to?
6:30 PM: Dinner. Couldn't resist the lure of a decent pizza. Ordered from a local place that had reviews saying "Best pizza ever!" It wasn't the best ever, but it was solid, cheesy, and hit-the-spot comfort food.
7:30 PM: Channel surfing. The TV in this place is an ancient relic from a bygone era with a screen the size of my laptop. Found a terrible reality show about… something. Got sucked in. Don't judge me.
9:00 PM: Attempted to go for a walk outside. Realized it was dark immediately. Decided to stay indoors, and read.

Day 2: The Quest for the Meadowlands

7:00 AM: Coffee Crisis Round 2. Faced with the La Quinta "coffee" again. Briefly considered brewing my own with my travel kettle (which I forgot). Gave up and went back to the deli.
8:00 AM: Planning for the day. (Okay, "planning" is a strong word). I'd heard there was a Meadowlands area nearby, and I had a yearning for something… wild.
9:00 AM: Drive to the Meadowlands. The GPS led me through a maze of industrial parks that seemed to stretch on forever. Briefly questioned life choices.
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM: The Meadowlands Experience. Okay, so the Meadowlands wasn't quite what I expected. It wasn't the untamed wilderness of my imagination, but a vast, open space that was more industrial, more full of trucks, and a ton of birds. But the vastness of it, the sky, the sheer size of the area was overwhelming. Watched some birds soaring, felt a weird kind of calm. Took way too many photos of pylons, but they looked majestic, okay?
1:30 PM: Lunch. Found a diner near the Meadowlands. The service was fast, the food was greasy, and the coffee was… well, edible. Started to feel like a real Jersey local.
2:30 PM - 4:00 PM: Back at La Quinta for a nap. Exhausted. The Meadowlands might look calm, but it's emotionally taxing somehow.
4:30 PM: The hotel pool. It was fine. The water was colder than I expected, but the sun was nice, even if the other people around the pool were a bit too loud.
6:00 PM: Dinner. Back to that pizza place, because let's be real, it was easy and I already had a favorite.
7:30 PM: Attempted to watch a movie. Fell asleep halfway through. This trip is exhausting, but in a good way.
9:00 PM: Bed.

Day 3: Departure (and the Lingering Smell of Bagels)

7:00 AM: Coffee. The deli again. Goodbye to real food. Goodbye to the jersey bagel.
8:00 AM: Checked out. The guy at the front desk recognized me. Probably because of the coffee obsession.
9:00 AM: Uber to the airport. The driver started telling me his life story before we'd even cleared the parking lot. Typical.
10:00 AM: Security. Flights delayed again, but I couldn't care.
12:00 PM: Takeoff.

Final Thoughts:

This trip wasn't glamorous. It wasn't Instagram-worthy. It involved a lot of questionable coffee and questionable TV viewing. But it was real. It was a little messy, a little weird, and utterly, wonderfully human. And as I sit here, waiting for my flight, I realize: La Quinta, Clifton/Rutherford, NJ… I kinda miss it already. Or at least, I'll miss the memory.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Clifton/Rutherford Clifton (NJ) United StatesOkay, buckle up buttercups, because we're wading into the delightfully messy, sometimes-confusing, and totally *real* world of FAQs about the La Quinta Inn & Suites in Clifton, NJ. Prepare for rambles, opinions, and enough stream-of-consciousness to make you think you've accidentally wandered into *my* brain. Here we go...

So, La Quinta in Clifton, NJ... Worth It? I mean, Clifton, right?

Okay, *first*, let's address the elephant in the New Jersey room: Clifton. Yeah, it's not the Jersey Shore. It ain't Manhattan. But honestly? It kinda *is* its own quirky little world. And the La Quinta? Actually, yeah, I'd say it's worth a shot. Especially if you're, like, *visiting* Clifton and need a place to crash. Or, you know, *passing through* on a road trip. The location is pretty decent. Close to stuff, y'know? Diners, shopping, the usual suspects. Plus, it's not… *completely* soul-crushingly ugly, which is a plus in my book. (I swear I saw a particularly depressing motel sign in my travels once and I'm still haunted by it!) So, yeah. Worth it. *If* your expectations are checked at the door. Don't expect the Ritz, but do expect a decent, clean room and a (hopefully) functioning shower. More on that shower later... because that’s a whole *thing*.

Is the "Luxury & Comfort" thing... legit? Or is that hotel marketing BS?

"Luxury & Comfort"... Oh, bless their hearts. Look, let's be real. It's a *La Quinta*. Luxurious? Debatable. Comfortable? Mostly. The beds are... fine. Not the kind of beds you'd write sonnets about, but they're a step up from sleeping on the floor of Newark airport, which, let's be honest, is a low bar. Comfort is definitely there, so long as you aren't expecting the Four Seasons. The comfort is more... "Ah, I can finally lie down after driving for *hours* and not want to scream." That kind of comfort. Think of it as "Level 2.0 Comfort". I've seen worse, *much* worse. I've stayed in places where you could feel the springs, and I *still* would take the discomfort over my *Aunt Mildred's guest room*. Shudder.

What's the breakfast situation? Free, I hope? (And good?)

Free breakfast? Oh yes, my friend! A glorious, albeit predictable, free breakfast. Think waffles (make your own!), cereal (the sugary kind!), bagels, muffins, and potentially some sad little scrambled eggs that have seen better days. I'm not saying they're Michelin-star worthy, but they *are* fuel. And hey, free is *always* good. Especially when you're on the road and staring at the prospect of a highway rest stop breakfast. It’s the kind of breakfast that you can grab on the go and shove into your face, while you're still half-asleep. Oh! And the coffee! Let's talk coffee. The coffee is... coffee. It exists. It's hot. It has caffeine. It will, in a pinch, get the job done. Don't expect a barista-level experience, but hey, you're not paying for it.

Is there a gym? Because I need to, you know, pretend to be healthy.

Ah, yes, the hotel gym. A sanctuary for the semi-athletic, the vaguely guilty, and the people who packed their gym clothes "just in case." I *believe* they have one. (Deep, calming breath). I am *pretty sure* I remember seeing some machines through the little window. It's usually a small space with a treadmill, an elliptical, and maybe a weight machine that looks like it’s seen action. Don't expect a Crossfit box, but you can probably get a decent sweat in. I’ve never *personally* used it (shocking, I know), but I've heard whispers. Mostly good ones. Okay, not good ones, but *neutral* ones. It is there, and that's what is important.

Any Wi-Fi woes? Because I need to stalk my ex... uh, I mean, work. Definitely work.

Wi-Fi. The modern-day leash. Look, the Wi-Fi *should* be functional. But, and this is a big but... Sometimes, it's a little… *finicky*. I've had experiences where it was blazing fast! Other times, it’s more of a "glacial pace" situation. Don't go expecting to stream 4K movies without a hiccup. But for basic browsing, answering emails, and pretending to be productive (ahem, *work*), it *should* do the trick. Pack a hotspot, just in case. Or, you know, embrace a truly digital-detox and enjoy the silence. It’s a win-win.

Okay, the shower. Is the water hot? Is the pressure decent? Tell me everything!

**The Shower.* *This is where things get… personal.* The shower at the La Quinta in Clifton, NJ, is a *wildcard*. It's the lottery of lukewarm water and questionable pressure. Sometimes, it's a glorious, hot, high-pressure oasis. You step in, and all is right with the world. Other times, it's a dribbling, tepid nightmare. You might as well try to wash yourself with a damp washcloth. I recall one particular stay... I'd been driving for *hours*. My back ached. My sanity was hanging by a thread. All I wanted was a hot shower to wash away the travel grime. *This is a memory I will revisit for years to come.* I turned on the faucet. Nothing. Waited. Still nothing. Then, a *trickle*. A *tepid* trickle. I swear, I aged a decade during those five minutes of tepidness. I begged the shower gods. I whispered sweet nothings. Eventually, *some* hot water came. Pathetic pressure, but hot. I'm not sure why this is a continuous event. I chalk it up to the plumbing of the entire universe conspiring against me. A testament to the unpredictable nature of life. So, is the shower good? *Maybe*. Pack a prayer. Pack a good book to read while you wait for the water to heat up. Pack a sense of humor. And if it's *amazing*? Consider yourself blessed.

Is there a pool? Because, hey, sometimes you just want to pretend you're on vacation. Sort of.

*I believe* there's a pool! (Checks notes…) Yes. Yes, there is a pool. I *think* it's outdoors. I've never actually *used* it, but I *recall* seeing it. It's probably a nice little pool. Probably clean. Probably open, weather permitting. You know, a standard hotel pool. The kind where you can pretend you're relaxing in the tropics, even though you're in Clifton, NJ.
