“Friendly, welcoming, non-chain experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Clinton Inn Hotel is just what I expect for business travel--no surprises. I've stayed there scores of times. Every room is clean, everything always works, and no request is too big for them. The front desk staff is always happy and courteous. The town of Tenafly is delightful, with a real small-town atmosphere. I love to take a stroll in the early evening, or early morning and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There are lots of nice restaurants in the area, an express bus to NYC, and plenty of atmosphere. The Clinton Inn Hotel is comfortable in a boutique hotel kind of way. Certainly not your usual independent hotel, and it's certainly not a chain. I would recommend it 100% to anyone needing to stay in the area, or who needs easy access to NYC.

Room Tip: Third floor rooms can be a bit warm. All rooms have windows that open--a nice plus for fresh air...

“Clean, convenient, and very well run”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

A recent 2-night stay at the Clinton Inn Hotel was an unexpected delight. The room was large and clean, including a comfy chair with a lamp for reading. The wifi was excellent -- easy to connect to and fast. The staff was responsive to a couple of questions, and the convenient location meant I could dispense with my car unless going a distance. I'll definitely return.

Room Tip: My room looked out on the parking lot, 2nd floor, and was very quiet indeed.

“Pleasant”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

I stayed in the Clinton Inn and got an upgrade to one of their suites. The room is very big, not really a suite, but a very big room.
The bathroom is regular sized and ok, the service in the hotel is also ok.

I didn't use any hotel service, let alone that I would know if there were any.

Overall, the stay was ok, nothing more and nothing less.

“Over rated. A disappointing visit.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I booked the Bed and Breakfast escape which included breakfast for two. See below from your website. However, upon checkout it was noted that we were charged for breakfast on both days. When I questioned this, the person at the desk stated that it only covered breakfast for one so she would take off one day’s charges, the lesser of the two charges. She was not friendly or particularly helpful.

In addition to the above mentioned issue with the restaurant bill, I would like to comment on the food. We found that the food was not very good. I could not eat my breakfast on Saturday from the buffet. The eggs were the worst I have ever had. The highlight was the bagel. On Sunday, I ordered a frittata from the menu and it was again, almost inedible due to the amount of onion that was in it. The service was very slow on Sunday and we had to wait for our check. So, we paid $28 dollars for breakfast for two that we didn’t really eat.

The room was satisfactory and clean upon arrival. However, on day 2, the shampoo and soap were not replaced. The water glass that I used the evening before was not emptied or replaced and the ice bucket was not emptied either.

The main areas of the hotel appeared to be clean but the hallway needed to be vacuumed and the elevator towards the back of the property was very dirty.

I was quite disappointed in our stay as many of our friends had said that the Clinton Inn was a nice hotel. Overall, we found the staff to be unfriendly, no one smiled and no one went out of their way to assist us or any other guests that we noticed. It's been three days since I expressed my dissatisfaction with our visit and there hasn't been a response. At this point, I must assume the management is indifferent.

“Relaxing stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

We had a relaxing stay here. Rooms fine with Wifi and coffee maker. We had a good breakfast and dinner. Friendly and helpful staff. Parking. Also can get an express bus to New York City right outside the hotel. Walking distance to the local main street. We also hired a car nearby and saw the local area for a day trip we particurlarly liked Piermont.
