A good idea
A hotel in Tenafly, N.J., has geared it's Alpine Suite towards travelers with autistic children.
Managed by a parent of an autistic child, the Clinton Inn Hotel offers suite with unbreakable glassware, bumpers on furnishings, special locks and in-room decor and accessories that can't be knocked off surfaces by wandering hands.
Along with the room features, families who stay at the hotel receive a welcome box of activities for children with autism, as well as a special-needs menu, free in-room movie and access to a reserved table at the hotel's restaurant.
The hotel is located about 10 miles from the George Washington Bridge. It's between a half-hour and an hour to Times Square, depending on traffic, but definitely within a reasonable enough distance for travelers seeking a relaxing family trip.
