La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Clifton/Rutherford is a limited-service hotel on the eastbound side of NJ Route 3 in Clifton, part of the La Quinta brand owned by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. Travelers book it for practical reasons: free breakfast, an indoor pool, and quick highway access toward the Meadowlands and Manhattan at lower rates than hotels closer to the city.
Guests can expect the standard La Quinta setup. Rooms are straightforward and come with free WiFi. A complimentary continental breakfast runs each morning, and the indoor pool is useful for families in any season. The property also suits business travelers, who use it as an affordable base for meetings in Passaic and Bergen counties. Expect road noise typical of a Route 3 location, and request a room away from the highway if you are a light sleeper.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Rates and occupancy rise sharply on MetLife Stadium event dates, because the stadium is a short drive east. Book early for NFL games, concerts, and events at the nearby American Dream complex. Weeknights outside major events usually offer the best value. Manhattan sits roughly 12 miles east via Route 3 and the Lincoln Tunnel. Driving during rush hour can be slow, so consider NJ Transit buses or trains for city trips. Before booking, confirm current amenities, pool hours, and pet policies directly through Wyndham’s La Quinta site. Most La Quinta hotels accept pets, but each property sets its own policy.
