Opened in 1897, the Inn was placed on both the
New York State and National Registers of Historic Places on its 100th
anniversary in 1997. The landmark Inn has just enjoyed a complete
restoration of its 13 guest rooms, all decorated differently, in a late
1800s decor. Rooms feature king, queen and twin beds. All rooms have
private baths and color/cable TV.
The Inn is located in the heart of downtown
Clayton, separated from the St. Lawrence River by a beautiful public
park. The park is the center of many activities, including the
village's popular summer band concert series every Wednesday evening
from late June through early September.
Featured 33 times on the Travel
Channel's popular Taste
of America series, it was in this Inn's very popular dining room
that famous Thousand Island Salad Dressing was first
served to the dining public back in the early days of the last century.
The
Inn now bottles their 'Original' dressing
for resale. It is available at the Inn throughout their operating
season
and over the Internet all year. Be sure to visit their website by

history
and ordering some!
The dining room serves dinner daily throughout
their season, which extends from May 15th through September
13th. Dinner hour features 12 daily Early Bird specials and nightly
gourmet specials in addition to the
extensive
regular evening menu.
Nightly dinner entrees feature Roast Prime Rib
and
broiled steaks, sauteed and fried veal and
poultry, roast duckling, an array of broiled and fried seafoods,
authentic Italian entrees and especially popular, local fresh water
fish including yellow perch and walleye.
Complimentary Continental Breakfasts are
offered
the Inn's rooming guests and full breakfasts are served to the public
on Sunday mornings.
Perhaps most important, in addition to its fine
food, the Inn is widely known and respected for the hospitality of its
accommodating staff.
