We enjoyed our night at the Downtown Clifton. It is a cute, funky, comfortable place to stay. The location is great. We enjoyed being outdoors at the bar.

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.

2-night trip

10/10

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.
1-night trip

10/10

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.
2-night trip

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