Nice place to stay I would stay there 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.

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.
