Old hotel with cool vintage boho vibe. Bed and pillows were comfy and bathroom included large bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The only thing I would suggest is a full length mirror. Went to a concert and would have been nice to check out my outfit. Lounge area and bar were cool and jalapeño margarita was delicious.

Reminiscent of days gone by, the receptionist walked us to our room, let us in, and waited for us to give our approval. Anyone can borrow a record player and LP 33 rpm albums to take back to their room and play. They leave old 10 cent paperbacks at the nightstand.The Red Lounge is relaxed, quirky, and welcoming to everyone, and they have a great chef. You can walk anywhere downtown, and the trolly provides free service on Saturdays if you want to get out to the U of A campus.

Quick, easy checkin. Friendly staff. Good snacks at the bar. Close to downtown and events I attended. Only drawback is limited parking. Be sure to have breakfast at the 5 Points Cafe and Market.

Tucson Weekend

Pros: The ability to walk to many places and the very friendly staff.
The Downtown Clifton was a very pleasant surprise. Choosing a hotel online can be hit or miss. The hotel was very close to downtown Tucson and the start, finish line of El Tour de Tucson. My wife and I were able to walk nearly everywhere we wanted to visit. The room was clean and stocked with snacks. The staff was very friendly. If you visit be sure to visit the 5 Star Restaurant and Market and the Cushing Street Restaurant. Both are three or four blocks from the hotel. Both have excellent food. We also got discount coupons for the 5 Star Restaurant.

Accommodating with personality!

Pros: Décor (mid century meets western) of this 50s style motel in a nice location for exploring downtown and adjacent neighborhoods, price, friendly staff
Cons: An additional chair in the room, coffee pot in room (coffee in lobby wasn't ready when we got up)
Location: nice location, nice walk to Broadway, downtown area, nice restaurants nearby
Staff were friendly and accommodating, arranging an early check in so we could visit with family on a rainy day.
