Had a very nice stay ,,this is our second stay here and both stays were very nice .
2-night trip

10/10

Very nice motel in Clayton. Connected to one of the best restaurants in the area as well. Comfortable, clean and friendly staff.
1-night trip

4/10

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.

Motel really could use a remodel. Rooms are old and musty smelling. Cleanliness could be better too!

Nice clean rooms. Staff pleasant. Reserved 2 queens but when we arrived it was a queen and a single. Worked out ok. Kind of noisy. Inexpensive option for 1 night.

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!

8/10

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.
