Yankee Clipper Inn, SureStay Collection by Best Western

Location: Many reviews highlighted proximity to restaurants, shopping centers, and attractions, with some noting easy access to nearby outlets and entertainment.

This place was a complete **** hole. The pictures advertised are old and from back in it's glory. It was dirty both inside and out. There was no restaurant, no functioning pool or other amenities. I thought it was a vacant motel as we were arriving, no cars out front and BAGS or trash all over the parking lot. We immediately asked for a refund which they told me I would get but it would take a few days. The refund hasn't arrived yet.

A good place to stay that’s off the main drag (and therefore slightly cheaper) and close to shopping outlets and fast food joints. Most people visiting the area come for North Conway’s Main Street of shops and the railroad. This is a bit further out, beyond walking distance, but still accommodating. My wife and I stayed in a King Room w/ in-wall fireplace. Upon entry, there’s room enough to walk in and stand before being up against the king sized bed and various bedroom furniture. A desk that was lacking a chair, a bureau for clothing, and what looked to be a lower table with metal strips for any luggage to be placed on. There was no additional seating available, so the only place to settle in on was the large bed. That’s not terrible, but if you’re walking into the room from any weather outside, you’ve got nowhere to sit. The television was new-ish, 32” flatscreen, with spectrum cable service. Nothing special. The in-wall fireplace is gas operated, with a maximum timer of 30 minutes. I can’t speak to every room with this option, but my fireplace produced little heat, even though there looked like vents to push the hot air out. It’s also very close to the edge of the bed, undoubtedly to warm it up but we had no such luck. Moving on to the bathroom, it was very clean and well maintained. The building is clearly being renovated and there are signs of it in the flooring of the bathroom. It’s new, and it was missing a few pieces nearer the sink. The sink itself was inset in an alcove of the wall, with a mirror being even further back, making it hard to see anything without leaning over the sink. The water pressure of the faucet was ABYSMAL with barely more than a trickle from the hot water, and a somewhat decent stream from the cold water. After seeing the pressure of the sink, I chose not to attempt a shower, though the shower unit itself looked clean and well appointed. There were a few cosmetic things that needed to be fixed, such as a towel hook in the bathroom and tape holding the bathtub jacuzzi instrument panel door closed. Overall, we stayed in the room for the King bed, and it was sufficient. We would stay again, but it would be another short stay.
