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.

Quaint

Quaint little place to stay. The bed was comfortable. There is a microwave, fridge & small coffee pot in the room. We had a small, private area off the back with an outdoor table & chairs. Wish there was a broom to brush off the twigs & leaves from nearby trees, otherwise it was nice.

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.
