The Claymore calls itself an upscale hotel, but it's really kind of average, and a little worn around the edges. Having said that, it's clean, comfortable, quiet, and reasonably priced. The staff is helpful, polite, and available at need. The free breakfast, for us, is the deal clincher. Breakfast is a $15 chit for the Justamere bakery and restaurant, which serves a wonderful variety of breakfast dishes. Some are more than $15, but you can get a traditional bacon-and-eggs breakfast for free, which includes wonderful home fries, their own toasted fresh bread, and a large selection of coffees.

The pool was very nice. Beds were very comfortable. This is the second time we’ve stayed here. I wish they would include kids in the breakfast vouchers as the additional costs add up quickly while travelling.

Average hotel. A bit dated, but had everything you would need in the room. Front staff was friendly, $15 voucher for pick-from-menu breakfast at attached restaurant, 4 minute drive to downtown. I have no complaints.

The property was in a great location close to some shopping and dining. It was a 15 minute walk to main street. The staff were friendly and helpful. Responded quickly when I let them know the tub did not drain properly. The $15 credit for the onsite restraurant was nice. The restaurant, however, was not the greatest.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was probably the noisiest room ever in 50 years of international travel. An ice machine, a vending machine and a stairway access door were literally right outside our door. The ice machine was not enclosed and was located right in the hallway. The ice machine in particular was just ridiculously loud, humming all night with loud bangs every time it was used which was frequently. Combined with a loose fitting door with a large gap at the bottom (that I attempted to fill with a bath mat) created a very lousy sleeping experience. Attached restaurant next door was quite good but $15 “free breakfast” voucher was pretty skimpy and didn’t cover the full cost of the least expensive hot breakfast. Not a good experience to say the least!

Hotel is a bit dated, but rooms are clean. Soap dispensers at sink and in shower - so if you like a bar of soap, bring your own. Check in was slow, so bring your patience. Restaurant and free breakfast were nice.
