It was clearly well-kept, had everything we needed for a comfortable night's stay and nothing we didn't. We arrived early evening and owner wasn't there but left the key and details for us. Bathroom lotions and soaps were nice, and so was the heat lamp!

Second time staying over the past few years . The location is perfect , the attached restaurant is legendary with outstanding food. Quaint rooms with clean and comfortable amenities. Love the friendly and accommodating staff , ice and water machine is the icing on the cake. Short walk into town for shopping and dining options. Golf and pickle ball across the street . Great value for all the extras.

Wendy

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
I knew it was an older property. But expected clean floors. When we entered the room I looked at the bathroom floor, I first thought maybe stained? I grabbed a wash cloth and wiped the floor. The wash cloth was black! I washed the washcloth out several times and went over all the floors in the room. I was amazed at how much dirt came up that was without any cleanser and just cold water. We kept our shoes on in the room. My sheet, although I could tell they had been washed, and the linens were clean had a blood stain on it. The patio was covered in debris and when you went out there and came back in the room, you tracked it back in. If the floors were clean, this room would've been fine and I wouldn't have complained at all, but they were disgustingly dirty.

Unfortunately, we stayed at The Clipper Inn. This a motel than a hotel. There were cobwebs in the corner ceiling with a spider in it. The toilet leaked at the base and bugs in the bathroom. The floor was dirty so had to wear shoes all the time. Finally, the beds are worn out. I woke up with an aching back. They need to refresh the property immediately.

We loved everything about the Clipper Inn! It was perfectly located and had all the amenities of a large hotel, with a hometown feel (we loved the screen door)! The beds were very comfortable and the room and bathroom were immaculate. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
