Staff was nice and knowledgeable. Room was CLEAN and had great space. Bed was a little hard. I would stay here again, the cleanliness outweighs the hard bed.

10/10 Exceptional

The updates to the hotel are great. the rooms are above average size which is awesome. I personally love that there are multiple hooks and shelves to hang items. There was a beside table for the second queen bed. It's like the hotel had heard my complaints from over the years and did it all right here. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. My only slight negative is one of the bed sheets were stained and it just kinda grossed me out. but everythign else was amazing.

Property undergoing renovations so some features not available. Room was newly remodeled and clean. Only issue was lack of hot water for shower in morning. Otherwise it is a nice place and will be even better once renovations are finished.

Never stayed at the Clarkson Inn. After I booked through Hotel.com Clarkson Inn called and said they had nothing available. They sent me to the Hampton Inn which was nice.

My only complaint was that the grout in the tub area was not as clean as expected. I especially loved the fact that my room looked out on the river, and that the windows actually opened! It was lovely!
