I loved everything about this inn. The staff was lovely, very friendly, and fun. I felt right a home. The room was adorable with an amazing view, very clean. Breakfast was amazing, you wont leave hungry. The Yankee Clipper Inn deserves a 5 star rating.
This hotel is full of charm. My friend and I came for a girls weekend. We were wanting quaint and charming and NOT the Hilton. And we got it. Lovely property and the breakfast was AMAZING. thanks for a lovely stay!
We had a wonderful two night stay at the Yankee Clipper. The Inn is beautiful, and the location stunning. The property has obviously been meticulously maintained and updated. And to top it off there is a delicious made-to-order breakfast every morning. We highly recommend this beautiful Inn!
