The Spotlight on La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Clifton

Comfortable Convenience Near Big Shows

Modern and welcoming, La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Clifton offers a laid-back stay just over 5 miles from MetLife Stadium and under 10 miles from the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal. Set right off Route 3 East in northern New Jersey, this hotel blends suburban ease with quick access to concerts, sporting events, and the NYC music scene. With amenities like an indoor pool, fitness center, and free WiFi, it’s a solid pick for travelers seeking comfort without the Manhattan price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love how close this hotel is to MetLife Stadium — just a short ride away — and appreciate the direct access to Manhattan via nearby transit. The 24-hour front desk and lobby market mean late-night arrivals or post-show cravings are never a problem. Plus, the vibe is quiet enough to recover after a night of dancing and singing. With check-in at 3:00 PM and checkout at 11:00 AM, there's plenty of time to rest up before and after the show.

Disliked: Need more parking spots! Was here for a concert as I’m sure many people were and when I got back there weren’t any spots left. I had to make my own in the back lot.

Disliked: The room's door that make a loud bang sound, every time peoples open and close the door. That is very ignorant. At 2am, people open/closed the door that woke me up.

A good value hotel with...

Liked: location was perfect to go to NYC.I requested check-in 90 minutes earlier and it was done kindly. The hotel was full, yet breakfast area was running smooth.
Disliked: breakfast area staff was staring you when you are in process of taking something from food dishes or making pan cake. I know they intended to help the guests but it was giving an uncomfortable feeling. They were polite though.At night a touring bus was parked on car parking area covering 6-7 cars spot. It should be parked in the back side. I or many who came late to the hotel had to struggle find a spot while seeing a bus taking so much space did not give good feeling

Liked: Selection of breakfast items was great.Place was clean, freshly painted and lay out of the room was spacious and comfortable. Didn’t stay long enough to swim in pool or use exercise equipment but it looked great. Would definitely stay again on next visit to NJ
