The Clemente

Hotel location is great

We did not eat nor drink there. The room was clean and great staff. Great location for Times Square and Broadway.

The bathroom layout was awkward—it required closing the door just to access the sink. The closet door wouldn’t stay open and kept swinging shut while I was changing. The TV was noticeably dusty, and while minibar snacks weren’t replaced after being eaten, some tasted old and stale. The window panels had tape annd appeared damaged, as if they had been broken previously, and several of the window shades were not functioning properly or wouldn’t close at all. That said, the bed was comfortable, and the rest of the room and bathroom were clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which I appreciated. I also liked the added security of needing a key card to access the elevator, and the smart TV was a nice feature. However, getting to the hotel was extremely frustrating due to ongoing construction. One-way traffic and constant road closures made parking very difficult, often taking hours to figure out a route. The parking validation was a nice touch, though. One night, the crowd in the hotel felt a bit off, which impacted the overall experience. Considering the price I paid, I expected the room to be immaculate. Overall, I don’t believe this hotel should be rated as “wonderful” on Expedia, and I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.
