Clayton Hotels

Along 1st Street (highway US 87), the Best Western Kokopelli Lodge is just a few blocks south of Clayton town center and the junction with US 412/56. The hotel is situated in a mostly residential area and is surrounded by extensive gardens with picnic areas, a children's playground, fish pond and outdoor pool; other facilities include a complimentary shuttle to Clayton Municipal Airport, and an on-site restaurant (Dream Catcher). The 51 room building has an adobe style and is decorated with native American motifs in reference to Kokopelli, a mythical Anaszai flute player. The main natural attraction in this part of New Mexico is Capulin Volcano National Monument, 56 miles from the hotel along US 87.

West-facing rooms at Quality Inn Clayton have expansive views across the flat fields surrounding the town; the hotel has a southerly location along US 87, in a rural/residential area but within walking distance of a few shops and restaurants. The pet friendly, interior corridor motel provides free hot breakfast and has the expected amenities of an indoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, business center and guest laundry. All rooms contain a microwave and a refrigerator.

The Super 8 is the southernmost hotel in Clayton, the first to welcome travelers arriving from Dalhart, TX along US 87. The place is small, with two interior corridor floors and 31 refrigerator/microwave-equipped rooms, all of which enjoy peaceful, rural views in most directions. Amenities at the pet friendly motel are limited to free wi-fi, copy/fax services and basic free continental breakfast. A small selection of restaurants can be found between 1 and 2 blocks north.
