Nice place to stay I would stay there again.

Unique and chill place (record players to take to your room, relaxed and not loud bar on the courtyard, interesting rooms) and nice to chat with the day hostess. Situated in the barrio viejo, nice place to walk around and get a coffee, but still not far from downtown.

a sonoran desert gem

the clifton is a great experience... an ideal blend between a classic motel throwback and a modern, hip experience. a short walk to galleries, the heart of downtown, and food options in the surrounding barrio neighborhood.

Good location, hotel and amenities were nice. It was a little noisy because walls are thin and we had someone upstairs walking loudly.
