You'll come back!
Pros:

Staff are super - had to change reservation twice and both times spoke directly with owners who are so nice and helpful - very very easy to get along with. They also own the Clipper Inn restaurant which is a local attraction - much bigger than it looks. Menu is much much more extensive than expected and all food our group had was simply excellent!
Location excellent. About 5+ minutes to any Clayton location

Cons:

Nothing I can think of. Great place to stay and enjoy the super restaurant

Nice, old style motel.
Pros:

I'm a sucker for an old style pull up motel. The only down side to our room was the size of the bathroom & shower (really small). However, there was a coffee pot and coffee supplied, a small fridge and a microwave. Beds were comfy and we really enjoyed the cross vent between the back windows and the screen door. Very clean. Now the real show stopper was the restaurant. We were in the area for a week and this was, by far, the best meal we had. I had a nice pate as an appy and wonderful chicken cordon bleu as an entree. It came with a salad with probably the best ranch dressing I've ever had and roasted veggies. All were great. Husband had the same chicken and rice pilaf which he said was wonderful too. If you're a fan of chain hotels this def is not for you. If that's the case stay at a fancy one in town but eat here. You won't regret it!

Pros:

The location was very convenient

Cons:

Check in was difficult. There isn't a separate person for the hotel, you need to check in through the restaurant. When I checked in it was before the restaurant was open and while people were there, there wasn't someone readily available who knew how to check people in. Also if you had any questions or needed something you needed to go to the restaurant

Pros:

Very clean

The cement step going up to the porch was very dangerous with the way it slanted down.
