2-Star Hotels in Clifton, NJ

For a taste of authentic small-town Arizona with a rugged outdoor spirit, look to Clifton. This historic copper mining town is carved into the steep slopes of the San Francisco River valley, offering dramatic canyon views at every turn. The main draw is the stunning scenery and access to the adjacent Coronado National Forest, perfect for hiking the Black Hills Backcountry Byway or fishing in the river. Don't miss the quirky, preserved architecture downtown, like the historic train depot, which speaks to its frontier past.

Clifton suits travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure, from solo hikers and couples to families who enjoy camping and history. The most convenient area to stay is right in the town center, keeping you close to local diners and shops. While you'll need a car to explore the surrounding Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area, the town itself is very walkable. It’s a practical base for exploring eastern Arizona, with Highway 191 running right through it.

Accommodation here is straightforward and value-focused, dominated by a few reliable motels and some rustic lodges. On HOTEVI, you can find the simple, clean rooms of the Copper Inn Motel right on the main road, or the slightly more secluded Greenlee County Motel, which offers easy access to local trails. Both provide the no-fuss comfort you need after a day in the desert.
