We hosted an event for about 40 people here. The event was great with the event staff making things easy and paying great attention to all the details. Would definitely recommend an event here. We had a block of rooms with it and the staff was responsive to any concerns that came up.

We were in Tenafly for a family event. Otherwise, there is no reason to be in Tenafly and no reason to stay and the Clinton Inn. The room smelt of smoke. It was large; the bathroom passed the throne test with flying colors. Bathroom shelf space was adequate. The shower had a dial head, which was inadequate at any setting and dated the last redecoration to long, long ago. My daughter was also staying at Clinton and said water pressure was non-existent, it was adequate in our room.

The staff was very helpful. There was a water leak in the bathroom. As it turned out, the leak was from a pipe behind a wall. All the visible plumbing joints were tight and dry. It took several visits from the maintenance staff to figure out what was going on. The maintenance staff was prompt, courteous, and very helpful. They offered to change the room, but it was quiet (there was a large group of noisy kids staying) and we decided to stay put.

Location was very good. Walk to sunny down-town Tenafly for breakfast and dinner.

The pandemic has hit many hotels heavily. People did not travel or if they did, then they did not spend as much as before. The pandemic is over but the full power of the travel dollar has not reached the Clinton yet.
Baseboards peel up in the elevators. Staffing is short and even if you ask for your room to be service, you are told that not is only every two days. The staff is friendly and tries to be helpful, but the front desk may sit unwatched for ten minutes or more while the clerk helps a guest, letting one believe that security is not number one in their book of service ideas.
The rooms are clean and just adequate. It is centered in the heart of Tenafly-if you have a need to be in the heart of Tenafly. If the rooms are this meager then their events and conference service must be even worse.

I recently stayed 1 night in this hotel. It did not meet my expectations. I had reserved a room with two Queen beds. The room was not in good condition. It smelled badly and was extremely stuffy despite the A/C unit running non-stop (it was on and on the coolest setting when I arrived…so, it’s not like it was off for an extended period of time prior to my arrival). The bathroom sink faucet was missing part of the handle for the cold water…something that housekeeping should have noticed and alerted management and/or the maintenance staff of so that it could be addressed before guests arrived. There also appeared to be mold in one corner of our ceiling.

The hallway was also NOT in good shape. The wallpaper around two adjacent rooms was secured to the wall by blue painter’s tape… not sure if those rooms were being renovated? Or, the wall paper was just peeling off due to age and excess humidity in the hallway? Bottom line, it felt like the A/C was NOT on in the hallway (at least of the 2nd floor, where our room was located). It appeared to be on in the hallway of the 1st floor. Given how dated The in-room air conditioning units are, management HAS to have the hallway A/C as the in-room units just cannot cool down the room appropriately.

Given the stuffiness of the room and potential mold issue, we requested a new room. Betsie the front desk agent was very nice and upgraded us to the Alpine suite, which was much better. That room had TWO A/C units in it so the air was not as stuffy, and the bathroom actually had two functioning faucet handles!

I’ll also note that the restaurant, Palmer’s Crossing, is closed. While this IS noted on their website when you click on “Dining”, the confirmation email I received for the reservation, indicates that the restaurant IS open. I hadn’t clicked on every link on their website, and assumed that the communication with my reservation was accurate, so I was rather disappointed to find that the restaurant was closed.

Stayed two nights and the first night we switched rooms twice. No matter how many times we spoke to the front desk they completely ignored our concerns. The air conditioner in our room did not work, they said the controls in all rooms did not work and it was centrally controlled but there was no cool air. Their answer was to give us a fan, The refrigerator did not cool so we used ice from the ice machine to cool it. They did not clean our room and said they only clean the rooms every other day but never told us that when we checked in. In the first room we had the TV did not work and they also had a fan in that room because the air conditioner did not work. Please save yourself a lot of inconvenience and do not stay in this hotel. In fairness, The bed was very comfortable and we Would’ve had a good nights sleep if it wasn’t for the fact we had air conditioning

We recently had our 55th High School Reunion here and it truly could not have been nicer. We are repeat customers having had our 50th here as well. Because we had less attendees, our 55th was held in the Palmer’s Crossing Restaurant which had a cozy feel to hit and could not have fit the bill any better. The set-up was perfect coupled with tasty food and attentive service which all resulted in creating a very special memory.

The Banquet Manager, Joe, was so helpful and extremely supportive needing no direction; he got everything done intuitively and kindly. Joanne, the Catering Manager, was equally helpful and patient and guided me with spot on suggestions throughout the planning process. Likewise we received positive feedback from our classmates who left the evening having had a wonderful time. I am beyond grateful.

The lodging, though may need some updating, really did the trick. We stayed in the Tenafly Suite which was so roomy and quiet and clean and extremely comfortable.

Thank you to the staff from the reception area to the management!! As the title reflects A+!

The advantage of this hotel is its close proximity to family, but next time we visit the area we will choose a hotel in better condition over location. The Clinton Inn is in need of a total overhaul. Aside from its outdated and fairly drab appearance, there are infrastructure problems. We stayed for three nights and had unreliable hot water. Showers could be tepid throughout or start out hot and end up freezing. Management told us that we were the only people who had complained, but I find it hard to believe that the two rooms my family occupied were the only ones with problems. Further, management obviously knew there was a problem because during two days of our stay there were plumbers parked in their lot. Ultimately, they took $100.00 off our bill, but we are not eager to return.

Our stay at the Clinton Inn was amazing. In the midst of these trying times, we felt safe and the room was extremely sanitized. The hotel is well maintained and clean. The General Manager, Robert, is extremely welcoming and accommodating. If you are going to northern Bergen County, the Clinton Inn is your best bet!

We reserved rooms for my out of town family weeks in advance. We had to go in oerson because no one picks up the phone. Two of the rooms did not have working AC. One of the reservations for a two queen room was switched to a king bed. Ana, the women at the front desk was unwilling to help. Telling me that they give away rooms as people come in and you just get whatever they have left. They had to bring portable AC units so they didn’t suffocate. She refused to call the manager or give me a phone number. I suspect that they have plans to close the hotel and open a senior living facility and have completely given up. If you have other options, go elsewhere.

I booked on the net and I did not communicate with them by email. You can call them directly, the number mentioned on the Web is +1 201-871-3200. I had a rented car, so I cannot comment about availability of a shutle, other than that I did not see any during the five days I stayed there. The bus mentioned by the other answers has a stop just in front of the hotel and takes you to Port Authority in Manhattan.
