Clipper Inn — Restaurant in Town of Clayton

The great reviews for the food should be attributed to the restaurant of the same name on premises. My words have to do with the "Inn" motel rooms attached to the same building.||||We checked in on a Friday and waited for nearly 10 minutes at the restaurant hostess stand to do so. We were given a room key and looked into the room to realize how very small it was and were really disappointed. The bed was so worn, it looked as though it was ready for the trash heap. The bed is on wheels and the floors are some type of laminate so the bed moves away from the wall and around the room when anyone moves an inch.||||We decided to make the best of it after our long drive and it was quite a long night between the bed shifting and listening to the noise from the surrounding rooms and the restaurant parking lot right outside the door. The TV received three channels, we inquired about this and were told that it was "hit or miss". Wifi service worked outside our room, something we decided to skip since the occupants of the next two rooms were sitting outside smoking.||||The bathroom and the shower, in particular, were so ridiculously small it was funny. You can stand up in the shower but if you lift your arms to say, shampoo your hair, you are touching the walls continuously. There is no way to contain the water except to lay down towels on the floor and try to prevent a flood. Nowhere to put your toiletries or soap....it was really a joke. Bathroom was not particularly clean, otherwise the room looked reasonably clean and tidy.||||Even though we paid for two nights we left after the first and happily found a nice place nearby with comfortable beds, a normal sized bathroom and didn't hear a peep from...

In the area for the first time & wanted to get some seafood! The bread was ok, cold and nothing special. The herbed olive oil for dipping was nice. For appetizers- The chicken liver pate was very strong tasting & my husband did not care for it. I got one of the specials- a shrimp spring rolls appetizer. They were bland inside and came with a rice vinegar dipping sauce that was just way too strong. Next came salads. Very odd ingredient mixture. Pepperoni and kalamatas with mandarin oranges?? Hmmmm. It was drowning in thousand island dressing so that's all I could taste anyway. LOL. For entrees- my husband got the Davey Jones locker, a broiled seafood platter. The seafood was cooked to perfection but the Alaskan king crab was very bland. Frozen French fries. Way too pricey for the quantity also. I got the red & white seafood pasta. Again, the seafood was cooked to perfection. The sauce was amazing. But, it was $4 extra to add veggies to the dish? Our waitress was the best! She was so nice and service was a breeze. The Leonard Kruesch Reisling was out of this world. Overall atmosphere- a little dark but interesting nautical theme. We decided against dessert. I wish I would have gotten the Osso Bucco special our neighbor table ordered. He said it was excellent. It smelled delicious and was absolutely falling off the bone and served over horseradish mashed potatoes. Would I...
