There's always a reason when a cat decides to go to the bathroom in a spot other than a litter box. The first thing is to have him checked out at the vets to make sure there isn't a medical problem causing this. You say the litter box is clean and I'm sure it's large enough for him. Just know that cats are much more sensitive to smells than we are and there could be something obnoxious in there that he doesn't like. Also, if it's a covered litter box, the odors are contained inside and many cats don't like that. If your kitty is fine medically, then it's a matter of figuring out what the problem might be. If I were in your shoes, I would place another litter box in your bedroom. You didn't mention how old your kitty is, but some kittens simply cannot hold it long enough to get to a litter box that may be on the other side of the house. If your kitty is older ... that should not be the case. This sounds like the "occasional" accident, which is still stressing you out.
I'm sure you can also find more professional advice on the internet if you just search for it. I'm fortunate that I do not have this problem with my baby. I hope you get it figured out. Your kitty is trying to tell you something ... just hard when they can't actually tell us what it is.
