The property maintains a dining room serving daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus one of New Mexico's iconic bars where guests mingle with local cowboys and ranchers. Air-conditioned rooms come equipped with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, work desks, and en-suite bathrooms with hairdryers, while select rooms open onto second-floor balconies overlooking Main Street, the Luna Theater, and the Union County courthouse dome. The Eklund Suite offers a king bed, sitting area, and bathroom with dual sinks and jacuzzi tub. This Clayton hotel provides conference facilities with high-speed internet and a separate 1000-square-foot meeting venue next door.

Pros

Cons

Limited entertainment options in the immediate vicinity

“Here's my take: this place offers a genuine step back into the Old West, complete with a lively saloon and locally inspired dining. The family-run atmosphere and pet-friendly accommodations are a definite plus. It's a comfortable base for exploring Clayton's history and enjoying some local flavor.”
