Hotel Eklund

This was the most interesting and lovely hotel I've ever stayed in and the staff was wonderful to talk to. What you're looking for will determine what you'll finally make of this place. As for me, I saw the beauty in the history and continuity of the building and its business. It's a rare gem that must be experienced. Where I'm from there are many Victorian homes that have been converted to bed & breakfasts. many have gone way over the top to create a pampered experience. It winds up feeling a little fake. Romantic and comfy, but not authentic. This place keeps its original Western heritage and provides a nice upscale approach to a better hotel experience. Visually, everywhere you look there's an interesting story and don't let this go past you. Take the time needed here to soak it all in. Don't just check in and check out like usual. Breakfast is served on decent china, not styrofoam and paper. The food can be made to order and the morning coffee is wonderful. Take a bunch of pictures!

Nice looking historic hotel in the middle of nowhere. Room nice though beds a bit narrow. Restaurant only open end of week so we missed that and there aren't many options in Clayton. Breakfast very limited. Twice fire alarm went off and all guests had to evacuate. Somebody said it had been happening for a month. Strange how in Clayton you can install a new fire alarm without having it tested and certified by the local fire dp next door. Seemed strange. Receptionist ok but not very welcoming.

Highly recommend this beautiful hotel built in the 1880s to anyone traveling through the New Mexican, Texas, or Oklahoman panhandle. This hotel has been restored but the owner says much of the hotel is original. Beautiful lobby, bar, and dining room. The rooms are large and comfortable. Nice bathrooms and very clean, and the whole hotel is well cared for. Desk clerks are always exceptionally nice and knowledgeable. Prices are very reasonable. I’ve stayed here twice. Will be forgoing the overpriced boring chain hotels of nearby Dalhart and Dumas from now on. Got to say as well: a food truck about a half mile from the hotel isn’t on TripAdvisor but Senior Tacos is always busy with travelers and locals and has great Mexican plates.

For a old building the owners have done a great job of restoration with some modern touches that do not take away from the period style. The beds were comfortable, the room spacious, the TV selection limited (but frankly I didn't care.), Wi-Fi quick. The price is about the same as the chain hotels in the town. I would have liked more water pressure in the shower but you are out in the middle of nowhere with a water tower. The breakfast, although limited, is free and buffet style. Everything we had was tasty. I understand the second story rooms that face the street have balconies. It's noisy during the day but quiets down at night. We would stay here again.

Extremely warm, caring service. The room was very clean and nice - especially for the price! So much history at this historic hotel. Very much worth a stop. Be sure to eat at the hotel restaurant. The food is incredible. Loved my whole stay, and will definitely come back!

Old hotel with history, I like old hotels with character but this hotel has some concern to me. First the hotel doors are closed and locked with no on duty clerks until 4PM. The room we had was in good shape except the windows were in dire need of scraping and painting. The lobby area hasten my opinion way to many items in it. Items of interest but really looks cluttered. The restaurant is only open certain days. Breakfast which was included n the rate was self serve. Hot eggs dishes were available but very limited. Dinner menu fairly basic. Has stayed here before but probably not again. Too bad.
