Fodor's Expert Review Common Man Inn

New Hampshire's distinctive Common Man hotel and restaurant group runs this quirky boutique hotel fashioned out of a striking 19th-century redbrick mill on downtown Claremont's Sugar River; the on-site restaurant serves hearty pub fare and has great water views. Although not fancy, each of the high-ceilinged rooms has its own look and layout, and many have fireplaces, exposed stone walls, and river views; some suites are two floors, and the top units have hot tubs and gas fireplaces.
