Wonderful small town, historic hotel.

Beautiful historic hotel

Nice historic hotel. This is a 125 year old hotel that has had some updates and upgrades but still has you feeling like you are back in time. Beds were comfy and rooms clean. Breakfast was great and we got to chat with the owner about the history of the place. Highly recommend!

Tried to have dinner here but they closed at 8 pm. Inquired about breakfast the following morning, and that is only for guests. So we just took pictures of the old hotel and I won't be writing a travel blog about this one.

Nice place to stay in this historic hotel. Good restaurant and service.

We had a great stay here. Stylish rooms. Nice breakfast. Loved the owners!

We drove to Clayton, NM at the border of Texas and NM to stay at the Eklund Hotel. It's an old railroad and cowboy town. The hotel has an interesting history with gunfights, bullet holes, wild west criminals, etc. It was updated, but kept lots of the original architecture and gorgeous bar that was won in a poker game.

We drove to Clayton, NM at the border of Texas and NM to stay at the Eklund Hotel. It's an old railroad and cowboy town. The hotel has an interesting history with gunfights, bullet holes, wild west criminals, etc. It was updated, but kept lots of the original architecture and gorgeous bar that was won in a poker game. The owner has a green thumb with plenty of beautiful potted plants around. The dining room has some of the original headboards as seat backs in the booths. There were lots of pretty stained glass, chandeliers, opulent ceiling medallions, and ornate staircases. Vonita provided just the best service, history lessons, cooking, happiness, and kindness. She turned on the lights in the bar so we could take pictures. She told us about the history of the hotel, showed us the various bullet holes, told us about the history of the area, and gave us directions to several tourist attractions. It was so refreshing to see a young person who's proud of where they live and work, and who is so enthusiastic and kind. Vonita got us ice for our cooler, both when we checked in and then when we checked out. Vonita, also, served the generous breakfast with homemade quiche, breakfast burrito, pastries, and fruit. We didn't try the pastries, but they looked wonderful. The room was decorated tastefully in Southwest style. The rooms were clean and satisfactory. We loved the English Pear hand soap. This historic hotel was a refreshing change from the chain hotels in most cities. Less

Passing through. Went to dinner. Food was 😑. It is more of a fun local place. The live music was great. Friendly people.

Great service great atmosphere great coffee shop across the street the restaurant is open Thursday Friday and Saturday if you don’t stay here you are missing out on a great experience.

It was fine but basic and lacked simple amenities. I’m not sure if it was a queen or full bed but the mattress was awful. No hair dryer or clothes iron. The TV only gets one channel. The breakfast (quiche) was delicious and was the best part of the stay. I would’ve given 1 or 2 stars if it weren’t for the quiche. Would not recommend unless last resort.

Friendly helpful and professional. It comes with a haunted room. Awesome!

The Eklund is such an iconic location in Clayton. The menu has a handful of specialties which they make to perfection. The wait was long, but it allowed us to walk around and explore the restaurant, learn of its history, check out the hotel room (which is rustic quaint and nicely decorated), admire all the plants thriving throughout, listen to Christmas music, play the piano.

We always like to stay here in Clayton. It is charming restored and easily recalls the majesty of an old western hotel.

What a wonderful historical space! The details and furnishings match the turn of the century architecture. The staff was personable and felt like family! Live music in the saloon while we ate dinner!

Very clean nice place to stay. I would stay there again!

My husband and I recently stayed at the Eklund on our way to Colorado. The room was clean, the mattress was not great. I loved the jacuzzi tub, although a little weird to get in the shower, if you had a disability you might not be able to step over tub to use shower.

Wonderful hotel. It is a historic hotel, so don't expect perfection. The floors creek, the walls are thin, and, being located adjacent to a highway intersection and train tracks, you are not well insulated from their sounds. BUT, for me, they add to the experience.

Wonderful hotel. It is a historic hotel, so don't expect perfection. The floors creek, the walls are thin, and, being located adjacent to a highway intersection and train tracks, you are not well insulated from their sounds. BUT, for me, they add to the experience. Our room (207) was full of modern amenities, and everything worked as it was supposed to. However, there is no fridge, no coffee maker, no microwave, and the TV was tiny. There is a balcony shared by the 4 front, 2nd level rooms, which was great except that the curtains didn't fully block anyone from seeing inside or room. I was instructed by the manager not to smoke "anything" on the balcony. No doubt in part because there is a cannabis dispensary 2 doors down. No problem, they have a lovely outdoor smoking area. There is a restaurant and a historic saloon on premises, but are only open on Friday and Saturday. They serve an enhanced continental breakfast to hotel guests every day, but the only low-carb thing available is a crustless quiche that is made to order. The breakfast room attendant is very knowledgeable about the history, professional, however, she could use some people skills. There is no coffee maker in the rooms, so we toddled down to the breakfast room with our cups where we were jumped on and scolded for bringing or own cups, and then treated like riff-raff. The attendant demanding to know our room number. The breakfast was unappealing, so we just left and got our breakfast on the road. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. Less

Exceeded my expectations! Well kept, clean rooms, good shower pressure, super comfy bed & sheets. The only suggestion I have is to have a full length mirror or even just a second mirror in the room. The history in this place is incredible and the bartender makes a killer Chilton. Oh, they also have vegetarian green and red chili as well as vegetarian appetizers and entrées. Highly suggest staying... More

Good good and some nice people!

If you are looking for a traditional hotel, friendly staff and healthy meals. This is your hotel!

It was nice hotel overall. At first I didn't have high expectations but after I left I was honestly really impressed.

Great historical experience! 👍

Really cute historic hotel for a great price. The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel keeper was exceedingly kind and friendly. The breakfast was good, though keep in mind everything was pre-made and you pick what you want and heat it up in the microwave; excellent coffee.

Beautiful decor, delicious breakfast, friendly staff!

Thank you for letting Phillip Courtney play for y'all we enjoyed it so much and the food was delicious 😋😋

We stayed here on our return trip to Houston from Colorado, and glad we finally did! A one-of-a-kind historic hotel with personality operated by nice people, attentive to your questions and requests. Cool evening breeze on the balcony. Also a beautiful, shaded patio and seating with greenery adjacent to the main driveway entrance. Good service in the hand-carved woodwork old-school "saloon" for dinner. Old West artifacts abound. Check out the ornate lobby. Good sleep overnight to be ready for an all-day drive. The Eklund's location downtown a half-block off the main highway is ideal. Plenty of parking, we could see our car from our room. The owner Keith and his wife (did not get her name) cook up and serve the free breakfast. Had nice brief chat with Keith in the ornate breakfast room. Several items to choose from. We tried their crustless quiche with Hatch Chiles - excellent! They also provide fresh fruit, cereals, hot oatmeal, yogurt, breakfast tacos, etc. This locally-owned business (survived the cruel covid shut-downs) is not an ordinary, bland corporate chain! A nice finish to our trip to the cool mountains. Less

Had a lovely stay here. My son enjoyed playing on the old pianos. Staff was attentive and breakfast was tasty.

Un voyage dans le temps, le couplé de tenancier très sympathique

Lots of noise from the traffic. Wife loved the place.

Amazing old hotel, room was comfortable and clean, breakfast was included, no ghostly activity.

The hotel is super cool and the restaurant is super tasty! The staff was very helpful as well and gave us a full tour of the place. I will definitely be staying here again.

They are so friendly here!! Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere with so much history! The food was soooooo good! 10/10 would visit again and again!

Very cool! Friendly people. Joe was very nice & helpful. Loved our room. (King room w/ hot tub) Only negative is no coffee pot, microwave & fridge in room. Had to wait to get coffee until 6:30am 😩

This review is for the hotel, not the restaurant, just FYI. Apparently this hotel is haunted!

This review is for the hotel, not the restaurant, just FYI. Apparently this hotel is haunted! I cannot speak to these long-standing rumors via direct experience, but the Hotel Eklund is supposedly haunted by a former maid named Irene, who hung herself in room 307. My fiancee and I stayed next to it in 308 and, aside from some creaky floors, I can say that it was a unique and enjoyable experience that was free of anything supernatural. The decor simply cannot be beat, however. After all, how often are you able to stay in an old west saloon hotel, replete with saloon doors, the remnants of old gas lamps, and even leftover bullet holes?! Proprietor Keith was lovely to work with and as creepy as some of the decor can seem, he and his staff make it every bit a welcoming environment for a great stay! Less

We appreciate the special menus and good service. Come at opening on weekends.

I decided to splurge to stay in this historic hotel instead of the good-enough non-chain motel out on the highway. But it wasn't worth the added cost. The public spaces are nicely restored, but the rooms have almost no historical character -- just not very functional and ugly furniture containing the hotel's "E" monogram.

I decided to splurge to stay in this historic hotel instead of the good-enough non-chain motel out on the highway. But it wasn't worth the added cost. The public spaces are nicely restored, but the rooms have almost no historical character -- just not very functional and ugly furniture containing the hotel's "E" monogram. There's a reading chair but no nearby lamp. There are no screens in the windows. The rooms are no better than a motel room, worse in some ways. The hotel provides a free breakfast for guests, but it was also disappointing. Everything but the coffee and oatmeal was refrigerator cold. If you wanted anything warm you had to put it in the microwave. They offer breakfast burritos, but all contain meat. Not everyone wants meat. Egg and potato burritos aren't unusual. The hotel's restaurant menu suggests it knows that it is likely to attract some vegetarians, but apparently that hasn't occurred to them for breakfast. Last, it's wrong to add a $4.20 credit card fee to a bill without informing the customer. Moreover, no place charging $105 and up for a room should charge a credit card fee. It's not like most of us walk around with that much cash. Less

Beautiful! A step back in time. The 2 lovely hostesses are incredibly bright, kind, personable and very hospitable. The breakfast is homemade, included in the stay and was delicious 😋. I know if ever traveling to or through New Mexico again The Eklund is my place. Loved, loved, loved it!

The lobby and bar are filled with good art, handmade jewelry, and rugs. Clean. The manager was so accommodating and patient. I ended up driving on to Colorado. Big mistake!!!. Should have stayed in Clayton. Drove straight into setting sun for hour and half. Nothing in Trinidad as cool as the Eklund.

What a great overnight stay! Absolutely love the feel and look of this hotel. The creeking floors only add to the nostalgia. It was like stepping back in time. Next time we will ask for room 307 to meet the ghost. 😉

Clean hotel, historic, and great breakfast

Authentic hotel

Service was quick and very helpful, good was excellent. Nice local beer selection.

This hotel is very charming. My family stayed here on a road trip and loved it, the beds were very comfortable and there’s something interesting around every corner. Adorable and the staff are so warm and friendly. Would recommend 100%.

I could feel the history exuding from this place and I loved it!! However, NOT having the simple convenience of a coffee pot and hair dryer available in the wonderful king balcony suite really is a fail in the 21st Century.

Charming and clean hotel with super friendly owners. We stayed here on our way to Colorado and would gladly do so again.

The included breakfast in the morning was equally as impressive - quiches, breakfast tacos, pastries, etc made for a perfect start to the day ahead. Bring a pair of earplugs if you are a light sleeper, as the train and traffic are noisy at night. But definitely don’t consider staying anywhere else in the area. Less

Stayed on two occasions over the summer. Staff/Owners were very nice and accommodating. Restaurant and bar were still closed due to covid but not a deal breaker. Breakfast was nice. I now have a must stay place when traveling through.

Great atmosphere, decent food.

Closed when I was there, a Monday

We traveled through Clayton NM on our way to Taos NM. Stayed one night with our 2 pups. We had a balcony room and loved it. The breakfast was delicious. Wish we could have experienced the saloon and restaurant but Covid has put a stop to a lot maybe some day we can return and experience them. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very nice change of pace from usual. The breakfast was very nice

A lot of characteristics. But close to train tracks

Love it!

We got nothing because they were closed, AGAIN. SMH. They are constantly closed, everytime that we've tried to go...but their site states that they are open. FRUSTRATING. Wishing I could post something positive...I WILL TRY AGAIN THOUGH!!!!

But the big thing to know is that there is loud street and highway traffic that doesn’t settle down until after 11 PM, AND the trains through Clayton zip through the town at high speed, blare their horns, and come through in stages every couple of hours — ALL NIGHT LONG! Seriously. 10 PM, 10:30 PM, 12 AM, 2 AM, 2:30 AM, 4 AM, etc…there is no sound proofing that. It’s a historic railroad hotel. And the railroad still goes through Clayton - very long, fast, loud trains. Less

A historically charming place, I'm sure, but unfortunately marred by rude & paranoid staff. If you hate seeing strangers' faces so much, get out of the hotel business.

such a unique place to stay. staff is so friendly! would really recommend staying here

Love the authentic age of the hotel. The staff were simply amazing!

Tried to eat at the restaurant; apparently they're closed right now.

Seriously THE BEST AND MOST CHARMING PLACE IN CLAYTON, NM.

SO happy to find this Hotel, such a COOL saloon!!

Very interesting vintage property with a wonderful lobby and dining room. Not a fan of the vintage mattress and bed.

Great stay. Quaint, peaceful and very eclectic. Wish I could have stayed longer. Don't think about it, just stay here

Wonderful place! Stopped on a whim during a kiddo drop off trip from Colorado to Texas and back. Jeanette was so sweet and the place is just adorable. Sat on the porch for hours enjoying beautiful weather! Wore my new jewelry purchased in the lobby immediately. Thanks for a great stay!

I LOVE staying at this gem of hotel in Clayton! Beautiful historic building in a small quaint little town. Parking is readily available and rooms are very nice and clean and affordable. Will stay at The Eklund every chance I get!

This place was a gem. It was simple, clean and affordable with every hotel booked in this small town. Only thing was the noise from the train and trucks close by. I can definitely put up with that for a better price. Highly recommend.

We love our stay, the hotel is amazing. The lady at the front shared with us a lot of stories about this place it was so great!!! Breakfast is yummy!! I recommend this hotel

If you want to step back in time, this is your place, straight out of the old West movies! Super sweet people. Family owned and operated. Super clean. Highly advise! Home cooked continental breakfast was fantastic!!

Was wonderful, nice room, great breakfast enjoyed eating on their lovely patio... So thrilled to stay in an historic hotel!!

What an experience. Loved our stay with a family of 5. History history here. AC was amazing. Tour and history was top notch. Breakfast amazing with a little bit of haunted goodness. Dinosaur trail outside of town should not be missed as well as the volcano trail.

A nice place to stop on your travels with the best breakfast for guest

It's currently closed. 7/13/2021

Room was clean. Noise was terrible. Trains and road traffic all night long. So much for sleep. No to be had here. Breakfast was small but okay. Staff was okay not overly nice. Hotel was an experience.

Wonderful place with great character. I was on a long drive and I had the pleasure of stopping here for two nights. Dog friendly, clean, and friendly staff. Definitely worth a stop!

This is a special hotel that’s even more charming in person than it is in the pictures.

Great experience! The caretaker of this hotel is sweet and knowledgeable and makes a darn good breakfast. Unfortunately the bar and restaurant sre closed because of covid still but we got to look around and take pictures. Almost a bed and breakfast feel in a hotel!

Hotel was great. Restaurant was not open yet.

We spent the night here while exploring the area. The history is fascinating. The hosts are very polite and knowledgeable (the property is family owned for generations). Breakfast was amazing!

If you have to stay in Clayton NM while in route, this place is not bad, but don't set expectations. The restaurant is closed, so no dinner there. The historical aspect of the hotel is interesting, but it is at best 3 stars. Breakfast is passable.

The staff are excellent, friendly and helpful. It's an old historic place and it's a real treat. Stop in and stay and tell the old motels, no-way, lol.

Ac makes the rooms nice and cold, hot water, and good water pressure. Comfy beds and super friendly staff. Only loss a star cause it's an older hotel with walls on the thin side. But breakfast was fantastically!

This was a quaint little hotel on our way to Colorado. The rooms were clean and the service was excellent! I would recommend this hotel to anyone making a stop in Clayton.

Google is now showing this restaurant as "open", but the are NOT. We stopped here to try to eat today & they still have a "due to Covid, out restaurant is closed" sign on the door. Very disappointed as this USED TO BE our favorite place to eat.

Should Have Kept it Historically Correct

Clean rooms and super friendly staff. Will definitely be staying here again when we come back this way.

Excellent historic place. Very comfortable and clean with great management and atmosphere. Pet friendly as well.

Historic hotel for the experience of a lifetime. A trip to the past that is well worth a visit.

Great haunted hotel. We had an experience 😳😬🙂. It was great. Great staff. Got a free tour. It feels like you walk into the 1900's. Total treat. We will visit again!

Takes me back to my life with my Daddy 💞

The BEST

I love this place. I love everything Old West so I'm quite fond of Clayton and all of its history. NE New Mexico is a special place. The people are great and the stories are even better. The rooms are cute, quaint, and definitely take you back in time. I stop here any and every chance I get.

Wanted to stay in a place besides Amarillo on the way to CO to visit friends. Did some searching on line and saw this jewel of a place. Old and beautiful antiques and stained glass. Will for sure make this a stopping place from now on.

The history and ambiance. Jo Beth does a fabulous job entertaining us with the stories of the grand hotel and restaurant.

1800s cowboy hotel very rustic. The desk clerk was more tour guide than clerk. Very very interesting

Jo Beth made the whole experience so enjoyable and interesting! Such history! If COVID wasn’t around she would have served homemade food for breakfast but she made the best of what she could serve ever! Definitely would go back!

We were passing through from Austin to Colorado. And this was a great stopping point to rest our weary heads! The room was super clean and the bed was comfortable! Friendly owners and just an over all lovely place. A bit like a b&b because we got breakfast but it wasn't just a regular hotel free breakfast, quiche crossiants and monkey bread! A+

Very awesome historical place here in Clayton. As well as hand made artistic decor for sale made by Jobeth.

Historic hotel with modern updates. Clean with friendly staff. Get a balcony room as it is a great place to sit and eat takeout or drink wine. The balcony is large and is shared with 4 rooms. It overlooks the main Street in Clayton. Highly recommended.

This charming bed n breakfast was possibly the most immaculate, cleanest place I've ever stayed in. And I had a lovely, relaxing breakfast in their courtyard with a perfect omelette!

The owner was beyond helpful and courteous. She and her husband are a wonderful source of information about the history of the hotel and the local history. Breakfast was excellent and perfect. My wife and I will definitely stay there again.

A beautiful Historic gem in Eastern New Mexico near the Texas line. Step back in time and enjoy the ambience! Very well run and maintained.

Had trouble getting our order!!! Usually didn’t have what we ordered

We are taking a new route to Lake Havasu and needed a stop. We are in Clayton NM on Hwy 56 so we thought this looked like a good place to explore. A step back in time to a very interesting Hotel/bar/ Restaurant. The atmosphere is awesome. The history is very interesting and the staff and food were great. Next time through we must spend the night. .or two!!

The menu here is quite diverse for an out of the way town. I noted several regular locals were there. I had the pork chops at the suggestion of one of those locals. The sauce they use was sweet and hot, but not overly so. I might have had a second beer, but I had driven 9 hours that day. A pleasant experience overall

The place, the people, the magic of this place is unbelievable!

This is by far the worst place to have super in Clayton. The service is by far the worst I have ever had. There is only one waitress who doesn't have a chip on there shoulder. We asked for an item to come out with super; it came out first, so we reminded her. The item went back into the kitchen and set under the lamp. When it came out it was half cold and greas logged.

Beautiful atmosphere, but the food was just okay.

Love everything about this hotel. Ms. Jo Beth is a wonderfully attentive innkeeper. The breakfasts are amazing & if you're lucky, you'll hear hear her playing piano. They are generously accommodating, even to my beloved dog!

Beautiful old hotel, restaurants saloon, nicely restored with interesting history. Management and staff are wonderful.

My goodness I felt like I was at my childhood home and grandma's all in one place, could the walls need a little TLC yes but why would anyone do that, it's the character of this grand ole hotel that needs to continue to shine and those walls tell stories, lots and lots of stories, the cracks in the walls and the creaking floors oh yes they too are perfection, the bed felt like my grandma's bed all nice and cozy and comfy. Our room was a balcony and of course Don enjoyed sitting out there even though it was cold. The train, oh my goodness, took me to memories of being a kid and living next to the tracks, what fun it was to hear that whistle blow!!! I love trains!!! Jo Beth is the sweetest lady and makes you feel like family, she illustrated a child's book that I purchased in the lobby and she designed it to be dyslexic friendly. She's the absolute sweetest lady, I'm thankful to have met her and husband, he used to work at the True Value Hardware store here, that's how they met, she would go get stuff and it went from there ❤ Lots of history in this one building, no ghost experience for us whew Less

Very nice place if you’re into history & great hospitality & service! It’s not the most luxurious, but like I said it’s got some great good ol’ west history & a perfect pitstop.

Food was delicious. The server checked my to go order and discovered that the cherry pie was missing. She made my night cause now I have eaten your great cherry pie!

Old Saloon atmosphere with delicious food and cocktails. The wait staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend stopping here if in town. Reservations are recommended but not required.
