Velkommen Inn
"Velkommen" means welcome in Norwegian — and in Clifton, the Norwegian Capital of Texas, that's more than a name. Our independently owned hotel sits on Highway 6 at 1215 N Avenue G, in the building longtime visitors will remember as the Best Western. Today it carries a name rooted in this community's heritage, with the same convenient location and a renewed commitment to genuine small-town hospitality.
Whether you're here for a weekend at Lake Whitney, a work assignment in Bosque County, a family gathering, or just a comfortable night on the road, you'll find clean rooms, a free continental breakfast each morning, indoor corridors out of the weather, and a front desk that answers 24 hours a day.
We can't wait to host you. Velkommen!
Sov godt. Sleep well.
Big Texas skies, Norwegian hospitality, and a quiet room at the end of the day. Some things don't need to be complicated — they just need to be done right.

Velkommen Inn does not control prices, availability, or policies shown on third-party platforms — and we can't fix their reservations.
