Craftsmanship Rebuilds an Extraordinary Corner Mansion…read more Beautiful, immaculate, and comfortable with a fascinating story, Fisher House Bed & Breakfast offers a lovely stay in Clinton, Iowa on a corner in walking distance of downtown shops, the amazing Seven Hills Brewery with wood-fired pizza, and the Mississippi River levee. Four traditionally furnished bedrooms (two queens, one king, and one king suite) have tasteful colors, lots of light, and crafted details. Each of the second floor bedrooms has an en suite bathroom with different combinations of tubs and/or showers. A huge bonus is a pleasant communal kitchen at the end of the wide hallway which has a small outside landing. We stayed in the Charles Baldwin Room with a lovely four-poster bed. Peggy reviews all breakfast choices for guests with an eye to any specific dietary needs and from continental to full breakfast has generous, delicious options. The welcoming entry opens to a main floor with a quiet living room, classic dining room, and enjoyable game/billiards room. This is not a remodel; this total rebuild was done with thoughtful planning and superb craftsmanship by the owners Dan and Peggy Fisher. Many aspects of the maple window trims, pocket doors, and wood flooring were custom made by Dan and his crew. The exterior is still in process. Wood was an important economic driver of Clinton, so the woodwork is a tribute to the town. We are already revising travel plans to revisit Fisher House. That says it all.

Couple minutes later, I receive a rude voicemail on my cell from the front desk saying that check out time is 11AM. Then another call to the room (again before noon) and I angrily said the sign on the door says noon. Gave the front desk attendant a piece of my mind on the way out. Extremely unprofessional on their part.

They had fresh scones. They had fresh bagels. They had orange juice, grape juice, and apple juice. They had waffles. They had three different kinds of cereal for the kids. They had oatmeal, and flavor toppings for those that did not want plain oatmeal. They had several different kinds of coffee. They had several different kinds of milk to suit all needs. They have a very nice pool area. Everything was clean and sanitized. The hallways were clean and very well lit. It felt very secure. I give it five stars.

My last stay I was given a room and when I walked in there was a dude sitting at the computer working...I slowly backed out and let the door close. He never even saw me. The lady at the desk was new and apologetic...they use some antiquated filing system in a Tupperware box to see what rooms are occupied and there was a mixup. She upgraded me to a suite for my troubles. Which was just an average suite nothing special. The rooms have always seemed "damp" or humid here. Don't know how else to explain it. Overall just ok. Will probably stay again.

Our first room had a malfunctioning toilet, forcing us to operate on the "if it's yellow let it mellow..." principle in order to get a flush. No refrigerator in the room even though all rooms should have them. We were moved to another room with a poor performing AC. Then we were moved to another room - dated, short on towels but cool and the toilet works. The only redeeming factor in this stay is the owners (or maybe they are long-term managers) of this location are nice and accommodating. Bless them. This property needs work, but it feels like this is a franchise problem more than a single location problem. (Note: There is a washer and dryer available for guest use for a nominal fee.)

Horrible place with horrible service. Run, don't walk, away!…read moreThe air conditioner blows right across the bed. Either you freeze or you sweat. The sheets are thin and feel horrible. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. The towels are tiny. The shampoo was tiny and half full, they did not replace it the 4 days we were there. The tub has a weird curve to it making it impossible to stand flat footed to take a shower. The breakfast was unappetizing. There was no protein. The orange juice tasted like a skunk sprayed it. The apple juice tasted watered down. The fridge barely worked. I pulled a drink out that had been in it all night and part of the previous evening and it was barely colder than room temperature. The staff left the curtain open after they cleaned the room exposing all of our things to the outside world. Worst of all was the lack of customer service. There was an issue with our check out date and instead of trying to contact us or provide any kind of human decency, they locked us out and blackmailed us to get our possessions back. Then they tried to get us to pay for the extra night, at a more expensive rate of course. I will NEVER use this establishment again. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Cleanest hotel I've stayed in for the price…read more When I entered the hotel, I noticed that the lobby area was very clean and modern. I assumed it was either a new building or had been newly remodeled. The rooms were just as spotless. The room I stayed in offered two queen beds and was very spacious. It included a TV, free internet, individual A/C and heating, a coffee machine (with coffee, cream and sugar) and a refrigerator. The room was very quiet and I slept very well. I booked through priceline minutes before arriving at the hotel, so we had to wait awhile before checking-in. The woman on duty was very kind and patient with us! The location is great! It is located in a shopping center off of highway 30, just a step away from Wal-Mart, Kohl's and other businesses. The only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5 is because breakfast was not included.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Hotel is under construction. Rooms are uncomfortable. In horrible condition…read more Inside and out. There is a reason why these rooms are the cheapest rooms in Clinton, Iowa. Upon checking in, the desk clerk informed me that the Clinton Police Department were on their way because even though the rooms were supposed to be non-smoking, the guest thought that smoking pot was allowed. I checked in to my FIRST room. It was a MILLION degrees. NO AIR. The desk did get me a couple of fans. The one box fan was so old that it didn't even have a dial...just a plug to plug it in. There was NO phone in the room. The room had been remodeled with a flat screen TV. However, the TV did not have a remote. When I got a remote, either it didn't go to the TV or something was wrong with the TV/connections because all I could get was white fuzz on the screen when I turned in on by hand. Oh yeah, and even with the first flush of the toilet...it backed up. Someone did come and plunge it, thankfully. However, I really didn't get sleep since it was so darn hot. The next morning, I walked out to the side parking lot. The side door is broken. Don't know if you should pull it in or push it out...regardless, I tripped and fell over the broken concrete outside the door in the parking lot. This was around 7am. I managed to get to the front desk and one of the employees did give me a washcloth, some antiseptic wipes and gauze. I asked about moving rooms and was told that I had to wait until after 3pm. Thankfully, I did get moved before then to a room that faces the inside. The new room had not been remodeled. It had a broken phone. The air conditioner was a contraption that sat next to the bathroom sink. There were children running up and down the hallways and blocking the doorway, people screaming. Not that I could get any sleep with how flat the pillows were. Even though I had three pillows, even stacked on top of each other...it wasn't the thickness of what one pillow should be. The bed was uncomfortable. I could barely sleep on it. The room was a lot bigger than the first room and even had a table with two chairs in it. This time, the TV did work. So, combination of bad pillows, bad bed, loud noises and the injuries I incurred...barely to no sleep that second night either. I went to Clinton for a wedding that Saturday and had planned on checking out and heading home on Sunday. However, because of my injuries and pain that I incurred in the parking lot, I couldn't drive back home on Sunday and ended up staying over night in the same second room for a second night. Not by choice. I did check out the prices at other places to stay at in Clinton. However, since I only had less than $80 left to find a place to stay and for gas to get me back to Kansas City, I had no other choice to stay at this location again. I now wished that I had just slept in the Wal-Mart parking lot there in town. It would have been cheaper to just buy some pillows there. And I probably would have slept better in my car than what I did at any time at this motel. Don't recall seeing any breakfast. Nor do I recall seeing any pool. I did get a free Clinton newspaper while staying there. Tried to use the internet but it was so slow that I couldn't do anything like check emails, etc. on my laptop. The parking is free....but BEWARE of its condition. It is really sad how the place has ended up. My dad had worked for the railroad out of Clinton, Iowa for 54 years. Many, many years ago, I stayed at this motel. It even had a bar at that time. It wasn't great even then but was much better than what this motel has become. It appears that they are trying to make this place better by remodeling the rooms. I hope that they also work on the exterior of this motel as well.
