Clayton Hotel Silver Springs

Clayton Hotel Silver Springs

10/10 Excellent
"My wife & I stay as part of our 20th anniversary trip. Staff, food, comfort, everything was great. The only thing I would change is adding air conditioning to the hotel as a whole. But opening windows & adding a second fan definitely helped."
