Good, but ick.

I didn't like the dusty towel rack in the bathroom, the dead bugs on the window sill, or the spider on the ceiling. Loved that there was a patio, but it wasn't clean. Everything else was good.

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!

Great for a short stay at thousand islands region. Very convenient location on main road/highway. Room was large and comfortable. The bed frames were a little noisy and had a soft matress but overall it was okay. Not much to do in the nearby town Clayton, but you have access to cruises, state parks in minutes

Quaint and quiet. The staff was helpful. The only drawback was parking. The restaurant next door uses the motel parking lot so sometimes you have to wait for their patrons to leave before going back to your room.

loved the stay, bed not so much...

Loved the charm, real keys, clean room, nice outdoor seating, friendly all around. The only downfall was the bed. Needs new matresses and pillows.
