Attention to detail

We were completely stunned with how wonderful this hotel was from top to bottom. The staff was very friendly and accommodating (they let us have a 1 hour late check out with no charge), the breakfast was fantastic (best I’d ever had in a hotel that offers it free), it was extremely clean, and the attention to detail was amazing. This hotel should have reviews over 9.0!

Clean & Close to Keene State

Don't judge a book by its cover. We were apprehensive upon arrival, due to exterior look of hotel. Inside it is nice & very clean. Amazing looking restaurant & bar attached, but its only open later in week. We stayed a monday-tuesday. Check in was super slow. Only one person at desk, doing his best I guess. But one guest with a dog for chrck in backed up the line to 6 people deep. Rooms are clean, but dated. It suited our needs. Comfortable, clean and near Keene State College. The free breakfast is outstanding. The Cleanliness, variety of food choices and the lovely woman tending to it all was delightful. Didnt use it, but indoor pool area was very large, nice & clean. Also plenty of outdoor grassy space if you want ti sit outside or BBQ yourself. All in all it was a good choice for us. Great value for the money.

We've stayed here several times before. This was the first time we've been charged for our service dog. On multiple occasions over our 5 night stay, the hallway reeked of marijuana. One night a small party was going on in the parking lot near our room, for the most part they kept it civil and the noise down. For the rest of the time, it was very quiet as we never heard any noise. The breakfast was great with lots of delicious options. Although, they did get rid of the waffle makers and replaced them with a pancake machine. The waffles were much better.
