Great location, spacious & clean
Loved this place! We stayed here while riding in El Tour de Tucson. So close to the start/finish at the Conv Ctr and downtown restaurants. Cool lounge and courtyard, live music Sat night. Easy check in, showed us where our room was. Super clean, large room. Able to request a roller bed for our son to stay the 1st night since he was starting ride at 7 am. Bathroom was bright, all amenities needed (shampoo, cond, body wash, lotion, make up wipe). Room had fridge, microwave. Loved the retro/old school vibe. We will stay here again.

Cool place to stay.
We were in town for the tour de Tucson. The hotel was super conveniently located next to the start line of the tour. The staff were very accommodating. They let us store our bikes there before our room was ready. We also kept our car parked there until the event was over. Super chill place. I would recommend.

Stayed here for a week in the early summer. Room was a good size, plenty of space to move around. Would have liked some kind of table or desk though in the room we were staying in, had to do all my computer stuff on the bed. Temperature in the room was comfortable. Bathroom was nice. I never had a problem with parking, and I always felt safe but would have liked an extra lock on the door just for peace of mind. The food in the lounge was excellent and the staff were always nice. When we had to cut our stay short they were very understanding and issused us a refund.

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.

Super cute property. The room was simple and beautiful, and the vaulted ceilings and concrete floors/walls were very neat. Loved the midcentury flair. The courtyard and bar were a nice touch. Affordable, easy, and a short walk to downtown Tucson on a shockingly quiet street. Would absolutely stay again!

Very nice place to stay. The only issue I had was the noise from the people sitting out in the courtyard After hours the first night people were out in the courtyard until 1130.

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.

The room was clean, spacious and the whole hotel was well decorated. It had a retro Palm Springs vibe and decor that really differentiated it from the surrounding hotels. While there wasn’t a pool or room service, there was a bar/restaurant mere steps from my room and everyone who worked there (and hung out there) were friendly and engaging. This wasn’t just a hotel, it was an experience.
