The Clifton Hotel
The Clifton Hotel - in Clifton Arizona - was built in 1890 and is beautifully renovated. Once a cowboy hotel (some say haunted hotel), it is located next to the San Francisco River and surrounded by steep mountain cliffs. The hotel changed hands several times over the years, and various owners attempted different reconfigurations, including some combined rooms and dropped ceilings.

In addition to being a cowboy hotel, the property was used as a halfway house, a home for children in transition, and apartments. The hotel was filled with silt from the nearby San Francisco River and was strewn with debris. It seemed an impossible task to clean up the mess and so was essentially abandoned at that time.

My buddies and I were motorcycling through Arizona and stopped at The Hotel Clifton. We LOVED our stay here. Karen, one of the owners, was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable. She gave great recommendations on what rooms would best fit our needs and was a valuable resource for history of the hotel and town, of which there is quite a lot! The hotel is clean, cozy, and affordable. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Karen!

Clifton Hotel is a beautiful old-fashioned style hotel with fantastic service, rooms, and a cozy atmosphere. At only ten minutes from the front mine gate, this is a great place to stay if you are on-site for a few weeks. Ask to see the "before" pictures, Karen and Matt have put their sweat into making this historic hotel a great stop for anyone!

The Clifton Hotel was a wonderful experience. The owners are just simply amazing and so welcoming it was above and beyond anything we could have imagined. This renovated hotel has a history behind it that just has to be seen to truly understand the love and passion behind this restored hotel. The rooms are beautiful and very well done with your modern amenities. We will be back, i can honestly say they made us feel like family and Karen and Matt were top notch in everything. Do yourself a favor venture to Clifton and stay at the Clifton Hotel take a stroll to the cave jail across the bridge at

An excellent spot to spend the night and grab a good meal! Rooms are pretty varied so make sure you pick the one that works best for you. A great vibe to the building and plenty to do in the area. Y'all have done an excellent job remaking this place, and I look forward to returning in the future.

This hotel is a great place to stay. Bar and food in the same building. French fries are sooo good along with delicious cheese sticks and chicken strips. My friend and I had ghost activity in our room. We were both excited and video on my friends phone. 👻

We absolutely adored our stay at the Clifton Hotel. The owners were incredibly caring and helpful. The restorations they've done to this old hotel are fantastic and charming. They've got big plans for this hotel and I can't wait to return and see them. The attached bar and patio has got some great deals and the bar manager and Chelle the bartender are extremely friendly. The hotel room is clean and comfortable and has some of the best amenities I've ever seen in a hotel. The muffins and coffee were delicious, but I think my favorite part was meeting the owners to adorable and
