The Spotlight on The Common Man Inn & Restaurant

Cozy Mountain Charm Meets Concert Convenience

The Common Man Inn & Restaurant is a warm, rustic 4-star hotel nestled in scenic Claremont, New Hampshire. Known for its inviting lodge-style decor and friendly atmosphere, this inn combines mountain charm with modern amenities. Located near downtown Claremont, it offers easy access to regional music venues while providing a peaceful retreat after a night out.
With a full-service restaurant, bar, fitness center, and hot tub, it’s the kind of place where you can relax, recharge, and even sneak in a ski trip or hiking adventure on the side.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the quiet, small-town atmosphere for post-show recovery. There’s free WiFi to share your favorite setlist moments, a 24-hour front desk for late check-ins, and easy access to local venues via car or rideshare. Plus, the rooms are outfitted with air conditioning and mini-fridges—perfect for storing snacks and drinks after a night out. Bonus: the hot tub is a crowd-pleaser for sore dancing feet.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a cozy base between shows
- Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist in the area
- Couples making a romantic weekend of it
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
- Budget-conscious music fans who don’t want to skimp on comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar provide a convenient option for dinner before or after a show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the friendly staff and walkable downtown location mean you can find a bite late into the evening. A continental breakfast is available—which is ideal after a late night out. Vending machines are also on hand for quick snacks.

Nightlife Options

While Claremont isn’t a major nightlife hub, the hotel's bar offers a relaxed vibe and local craft beverages. For more action, a short drive brings you to nearby towns with pubs and live music spots. The hotel’s peaceful setting is perfect for those who want to wind down rather than turn up.

What People Say

Guests love the rustic ambiance, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms. Reviewers highlight the cozy vibe, spacious accommodations, and the hot tub as major pluses. Many say it feels more like a mountain retreat than a typical hotel.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not right in the heart of a bustling city scene, so those looking for late-night clubs or public transport may find it a bit quiet. The restaurant may close earlier than some night owls would prefer, so plan accordingly for those post-concert cravings.

The Bottom Line

The Common Man Inn & Restaurant is a comfortable, character-filled base for concert-goers who want a relaxed, scenic stay with just enough nightlife to keep the vibes going.

Good

Liked: Proximity to the opera house. Room was nice and clean just a little noisy
Disliked: The service at the restaurant was very slow. We waited for our drinks, appetizers and the FOOD and the check. We were a party of 6 and the food finally started to come We got 2 of the 6 meals. We had to wait another 15 minutes to get the rest of the meals which were warm. We will not be coming back!!!

Work overnight stay, Close to...

Liked: I loved the room. The bed was big (King) and comfy. Lots of pillows which were perfect. The lobby is very inviting and cozy. Even a friendly old cat roaming around.
Disliked: We didn't eat at the restaurant because the menu had a bit more upscale taste than we like. I was hoping for some tasty chicken or steak, but I'm sure others will enjoy it.

Exceptional

Liked: Beautiful historic building! The smell of the lobby when you walk in is one of the most comforting smells I have ever encountered. I can't even exactly explain what it is. But everything was very cozy, the staff was very friendly, and my overall experience was fantastic
Disliked: Absolutely not a singular thing!

It was good, the bed...

Liked: Breakfast was a tad lame. Tho the english muffins were very good. Not much of a selection. We went out for breakfast on the second day. We loved Claire.
Disliked: First day, there was some bugs on the counter near the window and the second, there were sugar ants. Brushed them away and moved on. The TV set up is absolutely ridiculous.
