Clarkeston Inn

great friendly staff, location close to everything

perfect

Breakfast could of been better.Pancakes under cooked wet in the center.Very basic breakfast.

Always a warm welcome at the Newport Inns on Clark St. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Good location for our needs, off street parking and good value. Best thing to do is call the Inn directly and ask for the room you want, booking.com makes it confusing as to what you are getting. The inn keeper works hard to make sure guests are accommodated, so just call him directly.

In keeping with the age of the buildings there are lamps and not over head lights, the rooms are dark which is only a problem when looking through a suitcase, we could have used a few scones or more lamps. Our king bed was two twins that kept separating, it was comfortable, but needed one of those belts to tie it together.

uncomfortable and inconvenient

Central and fairly quiet side street location with parking comprising 3 (or more?) adjacent historic buildings.

Check in and our room were not in the pretty, dark-colored building (No. 28) we saw in the photos on Booking.com but in another old house across the street. Nor was the room anything like the photos; Despite being upsold on check in an extra $20 per night to a King room it was still small, with no closet or hanging rail, just some hooks on the bathroom door, a coat stand, a chest of drawers and two chairs The small bathroom had a dated jacuzzi tub with shower over and stained ceiling tiles. There is a self-serve coffee/tea station in the ground floor common area but no in-room facility, nor is there a safe. Breakfast (cooked to prior order from a small choice and available at the time you specify when you make your order) is served in another building along the street in a simply furnished room. At best this can be described as a historic if quirky old B&B; at worst rather tired and in need of some refreshment. Our room was not serviced during our 3-night stay, nor did anyone knock on our door or offer to service it, although some towels and toiletries were laid out in the lobby suggesting perhaps you are intended to help yourself? At this price point we had a certain expectation but although the welcome was good and helpful, the place seemed clean overall and the bed and pillows were comfortable, we were disappointed that this was far from the "boutique" accommodation we'd anticipated from the photos, website and cost; frankly it does not live up to the price. Although an entirely different type of hotel, by way of a PRICE comparison we spent the subsequent 4 nights in an ultra-modern, very well equipped suite of more than twice the size, in New York's Upper West Side, a stones throw from Central Park (see thewallace.com ) for NO MORE COST cost per night!
