History

Established in 2009.

The Common Man Inn & Restaurant in Claremont, NH was an ambitious project undertaken by Common Man owner Alex Ray and partner Rusty McLear of Hampshire Hospitality Holdings, which broke ground on May 28, 2008.

The Inn and Restaurant are located in what were defunct, historic mill buildings along the banks of the Sugar River in Claremont, which had fallen into disrepair as the area fell into an economic slump.

Painstaking care was taken to preserve as much of the historic buildings as possible and restore them to their original luster, with some modern technologies and improvements added to keep them moving forward.

In just over a year, Common Man Inn opened their doors on June 5, 2009 in the historic Monadnock Mill #2 and #6. The Common Man restaurant opened a week later on June 12, 2009, across a newly-​landscaped courtyard in the abutting Woven Label Building.

The atmosphere hits you right when you get in. This industrial look hotel is rich in history and a true charm to stay in. It was fun walking throughout the hotel reading the historical facts. Breakfast included was a big plus, especially because me and my wife needed something quick before we hit the slopes. A huge plus is that they have pet friendly rooms. Our dog had such an awesome time and we loved having her with us! Lastly, the staff is so friendly and they make you feel right at home.
Highly recommended!

This inn is a renovated mill. It has so much charm! Our suite has two floors and is cozy and comfortable. I love the view of the waterfall and bridge outside our window. We had dinner in the adjoining restaurant last night and it was excellent!!!

I enjoyed my stay at the Common Man Inn very much. It feels like a cross of a large chain hotel, a small B&B and a boutique hotel. The room was very nice, spacious and had some character (with the exposed brick and recovered hardwood floors). Bed and pillows were above average. The bathroom was clean, new and fully stocked with everything that you could want, from artisanal soap to moisturizing cream and Q-​tips.
Free continental breakfast was above average for a complementary hotel breakfast (muffins, toast, cereal and even waffles), but I probably wouldn’t have had it if I had to pay for it.
Only negatives that I could find, where (1) staff at the reception wasn’t particularly friendly but not ride either, (2) lighting in the room was poor and (3) you may have to park in a parking garage which is about two blocks away from the hotel. It’s not that it’s a long walk, it’s just that it has open access, is unguarded and you feel your car is pretty much abandoned with a big label «no one’s going to look after me until tomorrow morning». All three negatives together probably account for less than one star.
I had considered staying at a more expensive Holiday Inn Express nearby instead, and I’m very happy I didn’t do so.

Great place! Had a minor issue with my room and they switched me to a more expensive room at the rate I was promised. And at 10:30 pm!

Have stayed at this hotel 2 times now, and have had a wonderful experience both times! Our first experience was in the King suite with 2 floors, large bathroom including a jacuzzi tub, fireplace, and river views! Impeccably clean and warm, friendly staff. Second stay was this past weekend where we enjoyed a king suite again, though not as large and did not include a fireplace or jacuzzi tub. Again the room was very clean, and comfortable. Featherbeds, and locally made goats milk soap and lotion were equally nice touches! Restaurant was filled lovely with very hearty New England fare, and a superb drink menu. Food was substantial if not slightly heavy for my taste but my boyfriend enjoyed and though the portions were perfect! Our waitress Michelle was kind, and on cue. Dessert (if you have room) was yummy! We have had the pies, mousse’s, brownie sundae, and toll house pie! Eaten at the restaurant 4 times now and always had a good meal. We will be returning again and again for our romantic weekends away!

Found this via the Mount Sunapee website and thought it would be a good place to stay for a night. Not much to see in Claremont, but this was worth the trip.
Very cool rehabbed old mill right on the Sugar River. Very personal feel even though they have other locations. Nice little areas to sit in the lobby, play checkers, read.
Room was great too, especially the bed. Nice pillowtop mattress. Only thing is the bottom floor rooms hear a lot of walking on the floorboards above.
Bring a bathing suit if you want to use the private hot tub room. Free coffee too. Most importantly, fast, free wireless throughout the building.
Restaurant is very cool space, but the food was pretty mediocre for us. Cool place to have a drink though. They have their own woodford reserve batch if you like bourbon.
Overall, great value. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend had made a reservation in the Cascade Suite, and dinner reservations at the restaurant for Valentine’s Day. The room was wonderful! Two stories, with a fireplace and jacuzzi. Our dinner experience was quite different. When we arrived for our 7pm reservation, we were told our table was still occupied and were asked to wait. 40 minutes later we were finally seated, but they brought us to a large common table with another couple sitting at the other end. I understand that it was Valentine’s Day and they were busy, but we were paying over $ 200 to stay the night, and expected to have a private table for dinner. There were about three or four open tables around us, and when we asked to have one of those, we were told they were for other reservations. This was not the way we wanted to start out our romantic evening. Other than the rocky start, our waitress was great, and they food was wonderful. We would stay at the hotel again, but would probably not return for dinner.

We just visited New Hampshire, attended a wedding in Sunapee and stayed here in the neighboring town of Claremont. This renovated textile mill complex is lovely, cozy and perfect for a weekend getaway (I’m sure it’s even more beautiful in the winter with a fresh snowfall). Located on the Sugar River, you can choose a room with a river view if you’d like when you make your reservation. We had a standard room which was well appointed and included an amazing featherbed mattress topper. I really didn’t want to get out of bed. Also, a large flatscreen television mounted on the wall across from the bed, awesome locally made toiletries and free WIFI in rooms. Next time we’ll go for the room with the fireplace if we come up in the chilly season.
Their continental breakfast is located in the restaurant directly next door and has a perfect variety of items, although if you prefer more you can wait for the restaurant proper to open and enjoy their large menu.
All in all, a great value for the price we paid (as listed on their website). We will definitely be visiting again in the Fall or Winter!

Great price for such a great room! The complimentary breakfast was better than average. The room and bed were so comfortable! I even paid so much less than I would have at any other usual hotel. So glad I found the Common Man as an option
