Holiday Motel

“This is a hidden gem! We have stayed at 3 separate places in Clayton and this place is by far the best. The rooms are very clean and the beds were comfortable. The couple that owns and runs the place have had the place for over 25 years and they are very sweet and accommodating. You can't beat the price either!!!!!”

“Friendly and professional 10pm checkin on a Tues nt. Clean perfect room and bathroom. Big towels. Easy unload between truck and room. $72 + tax a great value!”

“Nice clean rooms and main office. So refreshing after a long day on the road. Not fancy or expensive but a true gem! You won't regret it. Simplicity can also be perfect.”

“This place is fantastic. It’s half the price of the chains and cleaner and better run. A great couple owns it and has for 25 years. It’s very old school. It’s a comfy bed and a spotlessly clean bathroom. If you want state of the art, you should probably go the Hilton in Dalhart and pay $240. You’ll get the pancake conveyor machine there. If you want to support a small business and community fixture, go here and stop for breakfast along the way and still put $100 in your pocket. I text Stephanie the day before and my res is done - 15 seconds. Try that elsewhere!”

“Here’s the scoop… SAFE. CLEAN. FRIENDLY. AFFORDABLE. I drove into Clayton on a prayer, having car trouble on a long road trip. Clayton is a charming town, with the friendliest people. A lovely local gal I met at the coffee shop recommended I stay here. I am so happy I took her advice. The lady at the front desk was gracious and kind. The lobby was peaceful and inviting. My room offered a clean bed that was quite comfortable. Plenty of hot water in the well kept bathroom. It’s an older hotel that offers a nostalgic vibe, and all the basics.”

“We stayed at the Holiday Motel during a long road trip through New Mexico, and it was a wonderful find. The location is perfect—right on the highway, making it incredibly convenient for travelers passing through Clayton. While the exterior is modest, the rooms were clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The owners are exceptionally welcoming and polite; they greeted us with genuine smiles, which made us feel right at home. The property has that classic, nostalgic motel vibe—straightforward and cozy without any unnecessary fuss. It was quiet enough to get a great night's sleep before hitting the road again. This place is definitely a great value for the money. If you are looking for a comfortable, budget-friendly stay with top-notch hospitality, this spot is a hidden gem.”

“What a gem. Stephanie is great and everything was perfect for our stay.. We had 2 dogs and a 16ft utility trailer. Right out of town and not crowded and was really peaceful. My wife has stayed here a few times before during this past winter and loved Stephanie and her great personality. We will definitely stay again. Extremely clean place. Thanks Stephanie”
