Best Western Plus Clinton Inn

Best Western International is one of the larger hotel-chain associations in the United States. The Plus tier represents the brand's primary mid-range product and competes directly with Hampton by Hilton, Holiday Inn Express, Comfort Suites, and similar mid-range chain alternatives at comparable price points. Most Best Western properties are independently owned franchises operating under brand standards rather than directly company-owned hotels.

The Clinton property is competitively positioned within the local market. The combination of Gary Boulevard location, proximity to the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, mid-range amenity package, and Best Western brand recognition makes the property a viable choice for the typical Route 66 traveler. The Best Western Rewards loyalty program is one of the brand's competitive features for frequent travelers.

Standard king and queen-double rooms follow the Best Western Plus standard configuration with private bathrooms, in-room refrigerator and microwave, in-room coffee maker, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, blackout curtains, and individual climate control. Suite layouts add separation between sleeping area and sitting area with a sofa bed; suites are priced at a modest premium over standard rooms.

The complimentary hot breakfast is one of the property's most-used amenities. Breakfast is served daily from approximately 6am to 10am in a dedicated breakfast area off the lobby. The standard offering includes hot items rotating through scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, breakfast potatoes, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, and waffles or pancakes prepared made-to-order on guest-operated equipment, alongside cold items including yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal, pastries, and a coffee-and-juice bar.

The indoor pool, fitness center, business center, and self-service guest laundry round out the amenity package. The property is pet-friendly with a per-stay pet fee and standard weight and breed restrictions.

Pricing typically runs $110-$170 per night for standard king and queen-double configurations depending on season and day of week. Suites are priced at a modest premium of $30-$50 more per night. Rates can fluctuate based on local events; the annual Oklahoma Route 66 Festival, regional sporting events, and various holiday weeks can push rates higher.

Free guest parking is available in a substantial surface lot adjacent to the building. Pet-friendly accommodation is available with a per-stay pet fee (typically around $50-$75 depending on length of stay and pet count); standard weight and breed restrictions apply consistent with brand policy.

For Route 66 road-trippers, the hotel functions as the comfortable mid-range Clinton overnight base. The standard pattern visits the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum and other Clinton heritage stops during the day, has dinner at Branding Iron Steakhouse or Jiggs Smoke House, returns to the hotel for the night, has the included breakfast in the morning, and continues on Route 66 the following day.
