Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay
I stayed here in 2025 and made sure to return when in town again. The rooms are great, the price is reasonable, and the free breakfast was outstanding. Also, the parking garage is priced reasonably and I saved a lot of money leaving my car at the hotel and taking the light rail downtown.
