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.

Very pleasant stay with a...

Liked: The Common Man Inn and the room we had was exceptional. My wife and I both grew up in Claremont and were back to attend a funeral. We have stayed here before back in 2019 (for my mom's funeral). The rooms are beautifully appointed and of high quality. Very comfortable, clean, cozy, and welcoming.
Disliked: We are elderly. The toilet is too low. You need more grab bars by the toilet and INSIDE the bathtub. No walk-in showers available or so we were told. Still, a pleasant stay and we would book again.

Excellent stay in a charming...

Liked: Beautiful renovation of former factory area. A dog friendly location that was truly dog friendly! Provided treats, poop bags, easy private access rooom, plenty of places to walk. Comfortable thought-fully furnished room. Only sorry we could not visit the restaurant.
Disliked: Was a tad out of the way. I thought our GPS kidding. Well worth the effort. No one was at the desk when we arrived.

Tasteful hotel worth a visit.

Liked: The owners did a great job converting this former mill into a quality boutique hotel.It is worth a visit.
Disliked: It is surprising that such a nice hotel has such limited breakfast options. There is no designated breakfast area and only a few cold items available for take away.
