Top hotels in Downtown Clayton
Clayton Plaza Hotel & Extended Stay
The staff was kind and responsive to questions and concerns. However, the hotel.feels ready for a significant update. In the hallways and our room had very strong aromas of disinfectant and deodorizors. We got a new room when we shared that the intense odor challenged our asthma.
