Looking for hotels in Clovis, New Mexico? This city sits on the high plains near the Texas line, and most visitors come for Cannon Air Force Base, Buddy Holly music history or a stop on the road between Albuquerque and Lubbock. We rebuilt this guide from current sources. We kept the hotels we could confirm are open, dropped the ones we could not verify, and noted where only one source backed a detail. We do not quote room rates here because they change daily. Use the Expedia link below to see current prices, and call the hotel before you book if a detail matters to you.

Hotels in Clovis New Mexico Overview

Hotels in Clovis New Mexico at a Glance
Clovis has a small, practical lodging scene. The hotels cluster in two areas. One group sits along North Prince Street and Fairway Terrace on the north side of town. The other group sits along Mabry Drive and Schepps Boulevard closer to the middle of the city. Nearly all are national brands, and you will not find a large resort or a historic downtown hotel.
Our research confirmed these properties on at least two independent sources: Home2 Suites by Hilton Clovis, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Clovis, Holiday Inn Express and Suites Clovis, Best Western Cannon A.F.B., and SureStay Plus by Best Western Cannon A.F.B. We list five more as single-source finds further down, so treat those as unconfirmed until you call.
If you want cheap hotels in Clovis, the practical advice is to compare the Mabry Drive properties against the newer Prince Street suites on the same dates. We cannot state any price, so check the live rates yourself. Look at what is included, such as breakfast, parking and a shuttle, before you decide.

Hotels in Clovis near North Prince Street Dining and Shopping
Holiday Inn Express and Suites Clovis
The IHG hotel page lists Holiday Inn Express and Suites Clovis at 4728 North Prince Street, Clovis, NM 88101. The front desk number is 575-935-8777. Check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. The minimum check-in age is 21.
The American Southwest guide describes 80 rooms and suites, an indoor pool and hot tub, free Wi-Fi, a business center, one meeting room and a free hot breakfast. The IHG page listed no amenities when we read the page, so confirm the breakfast and pool details by phone.
The IHG local guide names these nearby places: Cannon Air Force Base, the Clovis Depot Model Train Museum at 221 W First Street, the Eula Mae Edwards Museum at 417 Schepps Boulevard, Hillcrest Park and Zoo, and the Norman Petty Studios Museum. The page gave no distances. Our old version of this post claimed guests could walk to the main attractions. We could not verify the walking claim, so we removed the line. Plan on driving.
Best Western Hotels in Clovis near Cannon Air Force Base
Best Western Cannon A.F.B.
Best Western Cannon A.F.B. is at 201 Schepps Boulevard, Clovis, NM 88101. The Best Western page lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The page did not show a direct hotel phone number, only the general Best Western lines, so call the hotel through the brand site or confirm the number before you travel.
Listed amenities include a free buffet breakfast, free high-speed Wi-Fi, an indoor pool, a jetted tub, a fitness center and a 24-hour business center. The hotel is pet friendly. Best Western also lists a free 24-hour local shuttle within about 8 miles of the city. The shuttle excludes Cannon Air Force Base and the cheese plant unless you give advance notice. The American Southwest guide lists 66 rooms and suites and free weekday evening receptions.
The old post said this hotel has an on-site WWII museum and a lobby for swapping stories with veterans. We found no source for an on-site museum, so we dropped the claim. The hotel does serve travelers with business at the base, and the shuttle policy suggests Best Western expects them.
SureStay Plus by Best Western Cannon A.F.B.
SureStay Plus by Best Western Cannon A.F.B. is at 2912 Mabry Drive, Clovis, NM 88101. The phone number on the Best Western page is (575) 762-5600. Check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Guests must be 21 or older, or 18 or older with an active military ID. The page says the hotel does not accept cash and places a hold at check-in, so bring a card.
The listed amenities are a free hot breakfast, free high-speed Wi-Fi, free on-site parking, a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness center, guest laundry, a business center and an EV charger. The hotel is entirely non-smoking. A free 24-hour shuttle runs within city limits and to the airport. Contact the hotel for pet details.
The Best Western page gives these drive times. Cannon AFB Visitor Center is about 16 minutes away. Colonial Park Golf Course is about 9 minutes away. The Blackwater Draw Museum is about 28 minutes away, according to the same page. Oasis State Park is about 26 minutes away. Our other sources give different distances for some of these places, so treat all drive times as rough.
A note on the name. The Wikivoyage Clovis page lists a Super 8 by Wyndham at the same 2912 Mabry Drive address. Our old post listed a Super 8 as a budget pick. Best Western now lists this address as SureStay Plus. We could not find a source to explain the change, but the matching address strongly suggests the same building under a new flag. We dropped the Super 8 listing and kept this one.
Motels and Other Clovis Lodging We Could Not Fully Confirm
The American Southwest hotel guide lists nine Clovis hotels. Five are covered above. The other four appear in the guide alone, and we found no second source in the time we had. Treat each as unconfirmed and call before you book.
Hampton Inn Clovis
The guide lists Hampton Inn Clovis at 224A Fairway Terrace, next door to the Home2 Suites. The entry describes 79 rooms, an indoor pool, a fitness center, a business center, a free hot breakfast and a meeting room for up to 150 people. We could not verify these details elsewhere.
Fairfield Inn and Suites Clovis
Fairfield Inn and Suites Clovis is listed at 4305 North Prince Street with free breakfast, an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness center. This is single-source information.
Days Inn and Suites by Wyndham Clovis
Days Inn and Suites by Wyndham Clovis is listed at 2700 Mabry Drive. The guide describes 120 rooms, an on-site restaurant and bar called Main Street Cafe, an indoor pool, a sauna, a whirlpool, a racquetball court, a games room, a fitness center and free breakfast. The size and the extras make this the most unusual property in town, so confirm every item by phone.
Travelodge and Econo Lodge Motels
Two older motels appear in our sources. The American Southwest guide lists Travelodge by Wyndham Clovis at 1720 Mabry Drive with ground-floor rooms, free continental breakfast and free Wi-Fi. Wikivoyage lists Econo Lodge at 1400 Mabry Drive, phone 575-763-3439, with an indoor pool and breakfast. Each has only one source, and the two sources do not mention each other. If you want motels in Clovis, call both and ask about current room condition and breakfast hours.
Properties We Removed from the Old Guide
Our earlier post named Comfort Suites Clovis as a family hotel with a game room and a margarita patio. The American Southwest guide did not list a Comfort Suites among its nine Clovis hotels, and we found no confirmation of an open hotel today. We dropped the listing. If you saw the name elsewhere, call before you rely on the listing.
We also removed the claims of a Clovis History Museum, a Clovis Lake sunset spot, a Clovis Rail Trail and horseback riding at Blackwater Lake State Park. We could not verify any of them. Mesalands Dinosaur Museum is a real museum, but the museum sits in Tucumcari, not near Clovis, so we left the museum out of the local list.
The old text also claimed a game room at one hotel, a fire pit at another and nightlife near a third. None of our sources mention those features. Where a hotel really offers an amenity, this guide now cites the listing behind the claim.
Things to Do in Clovis near Your Hotel
Clovis rewards visitors who like music history and small-town museums. Here are the places our sources agree on.
Norman Petty Recording Studios
Wikivoyage lists the Norman Petty Recording Studios at 1313 W 7th Street, phone 575-356-6422. This is where Buddy Holly and others recorded in the 1950s. The New Mexico tourism site says tours are by appointment only. The Islands article says to request tours two weeks ahead through the studio website. Plan early and do not just show up.
Hillcrest Park and Zoo
Wikivoyage places Hillcrest Park and Zoo at 10th Street and Sycamore, phone 575-769-7873, and calls the zoo the second-largest in the state. The Islands article says the zoo covers more than 140 acres and lists giraffes, zebras, tigers and camels. The article gives the hours as 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily except Monday. Hours change, so confirm them first.
Museums and the Depot
The IHG guide lists the Clovis Depot Model Train Museum at 221 W First Street in a site from 1907, and the Eula Mae Edwards Museum at 417 Schepps Boulevard. The New Mexico tourism site mentions the Norman and Vi Petty Rock ‘N’ Roll Museum at the Clovis and Curry County Chamber of Commerce, and the Phil and Vernah Williams Historic Railroad Park. We did not confirm opening hours for any of them.
Outside town, Wikivoyage lists the Blackwater Draw Museum and Archaeology Site on US Highway 70, about 12 miles south of Clovis, phone 575-562-2202. The site is a type site for the Clovis Culture. The Best Western listing gives a longer drive time, so use a map app for the real route.
Getting to Clovis and Getting Around
Wikivoyage says you can reach Clovis by car on US 60 and US 70. You can also come from US 40 through Tucumcari on NM 209. Clovis Municipal Airport has nonstop service to Denver on Denver Air Connection, according to the same page. Check the current schedule, since airline service changes.
Public transit exists. Wikivoyage lists the Clovis Area Transport System, with service inside city limits and no Sunday service, phone 575-769-7910. The same page says taxis are not available. The old post said ride-sharing and taxis operate in town, and we could not support the claim, so we removed the line. A car is the easiest way to travel here.
Two hotels advertise free shuttles. Best Western lists a 24-hour local shuttle for Best Western Cannon A.F.B. and for SureStay Plus. Ask each hotel about the service area, since the rules differ.
How to Choose Where to Stay in Clovis
Start with your reason for the trip. Visitors to the base may prefer a Best Western property because of the shuttle. Families and longer stays may like the kitchens at Home2 Suites or TownePlace Suites. Music fans can pick any north side hotel, since the Norman Petty Studios are a short drive from TownePlace Suites according to Expedia.
Next, check what is included. Several hotels list a free breakfast, but the hours and the menu vary. Ask about parking and pet fees, and ask whether the pool is open in your season. The SureStay Plus pool is listed as seasonal.
Last, call to confirm. Hotel listings change often, and our sources sometimes disagree. A short call to the front desk will settle pet rules, check-in age limits and shuttle details.
What We Checked
We checked the Best Western brand pages for both Cannon A.F.B. properties, the IHG page for Holiday Inn Express, and the Expedia pages for Home2 Suites and TownePlace Suites. We compared the lodging lists in the American Southwest hotel guide and Wikivoyage. For attractions we used Wikivoyage, the New Mexico tourism site, the Islands article and the IHG local guide.
We did not verify prices, because we do not publish them. We did not confirm every listed hotel is open today. We also could not reach several official hotel pages. If any detail here has changed, the hotel’s front desk has the final word.
