The Common Man Inn — Hotel in Claremont

Riding on a motorcycle, needing a place to stay while traveling throughout the Northeastern states. Vermont didn’t bring us luck but just across the border opened up a very reasonable opportunity and had a restaurant included. Traveling by motorcycle makes it difficult to ride even further just for dinner and possibly an adult beverage. Just walking into the Inn lobby, I was hooked! The grandeur of the cozy and masculine wood floors, brick and beams refinished from a former Mill, enticed me to notice the welcoming couches, chairs and fireplace for reading, chess and working on a puzzle. The clerks were exceptional in their pleasantries and recommendations. Including the “Inn Kitty”, who is extremely well behaved. The view from our exquisite room, the local made soaps and specialty touches to the bathroom was sincerely appreciated. Our king bed was absolute luxury. The full pot coffee maker, refrigerator, real glasses and coffee cups made me wish we were staying for days. A cute “antique” phone and a book to read just accentuated their dedication to provide an absolute extraordinary experience. No, this wasn’t a $300 experience, but for less than $200 (which is above our budget), we completely appreciated the ambiance, the outstanding restaurant and the amazing amenities such as a private hot tub room, private exercise room and perfect breakfast of all types of breads, French toast, oatmeal, gluten free options, hard boiled eggs, microwaveable sandwiches, full sized Chobani yogurts, muffins, fresh fruits… just perfect. Not far from here was a Comfort Suites for a higher fee and in no way would it have provided such an amazing...

Review of The Common Man Inn & Restaurant – Claremont, NH

Our stay at The Common Man Inn in Claremont, NH, was nothing short of incredible. The phenomenal rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and full of character, but the river view rooms took it to another level. Waking up to the peaceful sight and sound of the Sugar River just outside our window made the stay even more special.

The inn itself is housed in a beautifully restored and renovated historic mill, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. After a long day of skiing at Okemo or Sunapee—just a quick 20-minute drive away—the hot tub was a welcome retreat. It was clean, inviting, and the perfect way to relax and soothe sore muscles.

We also loved the continental breakfast, which was a step above the typical hotel fare. Everything was fresh, and the selection was perfect for fueling up before another day on the slopes or exploring the area.

As for the Common Man Restaurant, the food was so good we went two nights in a row. The cozy ambiance, excellent service, and delicious dishes—from hearty comfort food to perfectly cooked steaks—made it an easy choice. The flavors were spot-on, and every bite felt like classic New England hospitality on a plate.

Between the stunning river views, warm hospitality, fantastic food, and great amenities, The Common Man Inn & Restaurant in Claremont is an absolute gem. Whether you’re planning a ski trip, a weekend getaway, or just looking for an excellent meal, this place delivers on all fronts. We’ll...

We had the most delightful stay at The Common Man Inn in Claremont, NH, during our New England leaf-peeping adventure. Housed in a charming old textile mill, the inn offers a perfect blend of history and modern comfort. The transformation of the mill into this lovely inn was impressive, with beautifully maintained features that add character to the space.

Our room was cozy and comfortable, with a bed that felt like a dream after a long day of travel. The hand soap in the bathroom smelled wonderful, a small but thoughtful touch that made us feel extra pampered. We were greeted warmly by Naimke, who made us feel right at home, and the adorable inn cat, Claire, added a special, personal touch to the experience. It was such a nice surprise to find that the inn offers warm apple cider in the lobby—a perfect treat after a chilly autumn day!

Out of all the places we stayed on our New England trip, this was by far the best experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're looking for a great place for dinner, don't miss the attached Common Man restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic—comforting, hearty, and exactly what we needed after a day of sightseeing.

We’ll definitely be returning to The Common Man Inn next time we’re in the area. It’s a hidden gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stop on our journey....
