What guests think

At La Quinta by Wyndham Clifton/Rutherford, guests frequently praise clean, spacious rooms and a convenient location near highways, MetLife Stadium, American Dream, and transit to NYC, while recurring drawbacks include traffic and hallway noise and occasional service inconsistencies.

Housekeeping and overall cleanliness are frequently highlighted, though some guests noted musty odors or maintenance issues such as squeaky bed frames, noisy AC, or bathroom doors that don’t close. Facilities include an indoor pool and gym with free parking and an attached Red Robin for easy dining, but the pool can be closed or crowded and the hot tub is not available. Breakfast is convenient but quality and variety are described as average or repetitive, and the room gets busy at peak times. Best for travelers prioritizing easy access over a perfectly quiet stay.

Front desk check in very personable. Convenient with red Robin restaurant attached and I think girl nearby. Indoor pool was an ok size and a nice temp. Breakfast was the usual but very crowded. Three features to be aware of 1. It is a dense section of NJ so exits are quick! Gps can usually rerout quickly so don't stress. 2. Unless you are used to living near a racetrack, Ask for a room away from rt 3. Many cars, all night, fast. 3. When the desk says the gym is open all night, say "no, I have been here many times. I have to ask at night or early morning and then cannot leave until I am done."

It’s a great hotel and I stay here multiple times for New York. The breakfast is great and has a giant seating area. The parking area is huge and the lobby is clean and well kept up. They have a complementary tea/coffee station at all times which is great! The only thing I dislike is pool closing early.

Decent enough I suppose, communication of payment at the desk wasn’t very clear with an online booking… passable cleanliness if you didn’t look too hard (coming from a housekeeper themselves), pool was a bit slimy and overcrowded. One of the cheaper options in the area, so you get what you pay for I suppose but overall, still not worth $400 for a weekend.

The only thing that I disliked was that the hotel parking lot was full and we couldn't park there and had to park at the red robin parking lot and hoping our car wouldn't get towed way. Then to have to talk to the hotel with all our luggage sucks. Hopefully that issue can be fix.

The cleaning crew is really outstanding. They housekeeping unit deserves a raise. I saw the same workers cleaning different spotasat various times of the day during my stay at La Quinta Inn and Suites of Clinton/Rutherford. The employees are friendly, courteous and professionals. Truly a real attention to details and cleanliness. On our first night the sink was clogged. I said "Oh no" to myself but didn't even complained to the reception. The next morning we left early and when we came back late afternoon the sink was cleaned, the whole bathroom was cleaned and replenished. The property itself specially around the elevator area and the breakfast room would greatly benefit from an upgrade; some TLC BUT it's CLEAN! The entire property and most importantly the rooms inside (baths, beds, floors, windows, the good smells) all are in pristine status and organized to perfection for this property of La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham of Clinton/Rutherford. August 20-23, 2025. Suggestion: get more luggage carts🙂

Check in was easy, and the location is convenient. However, the bed frame was similar to a hollow steel tin so every movement made it seem like we were packing up a U-Haul. The HVAC unit was also very loud every time it came on and turned off. Walls are also very thin so everything could be heard.

Convenient location is offset by proximity to a major highway, which, depending on your room, makes for a very noisy sleep. If possible, request a room that is not facing the highway. Other than that, the room was clean and the facilities were proper.

Negative points: Wifi wasn't working at all on the first day. The second day it worked perfectly. Rooms are not soundproof. We could hear our neighbor talking on the phone.

I recently stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites and was disappointed with the level of customer service I received upon check-in. I had completed the online check-in process prior to my arrival and entered all required information in advance, expecting a smooth and efficient experience. However, when I arrived at the front desk, the representative repeated the entire check-in process in a dismissive and rude tone. When I politely asked why I needed to repeat the steps despite having already checked in online, the front desk employee responded with attitude and stated that the system does not process check-ins—a response that lacked professionalism and courtesy. Customer service is a key part of any hospitality experience, and unfortunately, this interaction left a negative impression. I hope management will take steps to address staff training to ensure a more welcoming and respectful environment for future guests

All front desk people especially the girl in the morning at checkout acted as if they would rather be somewhere else, was dismissive and just unfriendly, nobody was in front of me yet she took minutes to even acknowledge me. I requested a much needed wake up call due to phone alarm issues and NEVER received it. When I left and reported it to the very person that told me it would be done I was dismissed like an inconvenience and annoyance. The staff in the breakfast area were AWFUL! One lady literally physically pushed me aside when I was in line so she could refill food rather than just wait. Grounds for firing in my opinion! ALSO… 3 of the 4 yoplait yogurts taken out of the fridge were EXPIRED!!!!!! Unacceptable on EVERY level!!! It should be checked daily. Health department should be on that one. Perhaps they just might be called! If it were not for long travels and only a few hours sleeping I would have addressed the issues but I just wanted to leave early and get out. I recommend NOT staying on the first floor if you don’t want to be awakened from disgusting smelling breakfast food being cooked before sunrise! Food was COLD. Room was clean.

The rooms were decent and clean, but that’s about the only positive. Front desk customer service was extremely poor—definitely in need of serious training. On top of that, dogs in the neighboring room barked nonstop throughout the night, making it impossible to sleep. Overall, I do not recommend staying here.

The staff is very rude. I cannot tell you how many times we had to go to the front desk and get our keys reactivated. And no, we did not put them near our cell phones. Also, don't bother doing online check-in for the 10 minutes that takes because "they don't offer it" despite getting a text stating to do exactly that. Breakfast was gross. Powdered eggs, nasty lowest rung of sausage "quality," etc. Not a single time did they apologize for any inconvenience. Actually, they appear to be gloriously proud of never acting like they are there to provide service to their guests.

This hotel was clean. Not so quiet as it is right along busy highway 3. Breakfast below average , only scrambled eggs healthy, all other food reach in carbohydrate and not tasty. Reception staff robotic and lacks emotion, housekeeping staff was hard working but they were always in a way with their carts. Train and bus station relatively close so one can get to New York within 25 min. Given all these factors the price should be lower than 200.00 CAD$ a night. Overall 6.5/10

I would have wanted a little more variety in the breakfast. Maybe bacon one day, not sausage every single day. Pancakes one day, not waffles every single day. Also more milk alternatives. I’m lactose intolerant so almond milk or soy milk (for the cereal and coffee) would have been nice to have to choose from.
