Excellent customer service. I made a reservation on Travelocity and requested a handicap accessible room for my wife. They booked a room on the second floor and there are no elevators. Glad I called to confirm reservation. Room was beautiful and clean. Hospitality was top notch. I was greeted by name by the second day. Top notch facility.

Can't imagine a better overnight experience!

Pros: Easier to answer the question what didn't we like about this hotel? Answer: nothing!
Cons: We didn't need it but, if it could be done without affecting the visual impact of the architecture (which was stunning), a lift might be helpful.
Location: We attended two CU hockey games (vs. Arizona State University), visited the Eisenhower Locks in Massena, and took in the boutique shops on Market St.
From the personal welcome upon our arrival to the heartfelt "have a great trip" as we departed, our experience couldn't have been better. Spacious and immaculate rooms... complementary "tea" in front of the fireplace in the gathering area... staff who were knowledgeable and kind (obviously well-trained)... a personalized letter of welcome from the manager... each staff person capable of functioning as an able concierge... all of it reflected the kind of experience one would expect from an upscale hotel charging two to three times as much. We came to see my alma mater Clarkson play hockey (which was quite enjoyable) but staying at the Clarkson Inn ended up being the highlight of the weekend. It "set the table" as it were, for one of the best get away weekends we've ever had!

Wrong weekend

Beautiful inn, lovely rooms, however spending Halloween weekend in a college town is never the best idea, especially when the hotel is located next to a very popular bar. The noise outside was understandable, but when I pay $176 for a night's stay I do not expect to be sharing the hotel with a bunch of noisy, door slamming, loud college students whose intent to is find a place to party. That part was very disappointing.

No dogs,

Pros: clean
No dogs allowed, no easy handicap entrance, no wheelchair accessible shower. no meals except a major buffet breakfast, too tired from drive to get up for.
