Quite satisfied

Had a good stay. Room was clean and as expected. Had a really good spread for breakfast. There was unexpected construction happening at the hotel but it wasn't bothersome. The elevator is ridiculously slow, take the stairs.

They were renovating the property, which I did not know until I got there. But staff was very friendly. I did get a renovated room. Which had an open shower with no curtains. Didn’t like how close the vanity was to the shower because the vanity would just get completely wet. There was only one mirror in the whole room and it was tiny and not the best lighting. No full length mirror. I would stay again, but it is very pricey, especially for the renovations and the quality of the renovations.

Our room was not serviced at all. Bed was unmade. There were no clean towels, so we left immediately when we got back to the room after the event that we were at. We forfeited one night stay at the Fairfield by Marriott. I have never had such horrible service in any of my hotel stays

We checked into our room on the second floor. Things were good. Two days later we were told we had to move to another room. This room was clean but had no closet space, no hair dryer and had difficulty with the lock on the door not operating correctly when you went to leave. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was good.

Weekend get away

Location was nice and quiet. Hotel looked like they were remodeling since a lot of their parking were taken by construction container but manager was supper nice and told us were to park. Our room was the family suite for 5, we had a sofa bed with 2 queen beds, Room, bathroom, clean and spacious. We asked for extra blankets since my older son was going to sleep in the bed sofa but 2 out of the 5 blankets had stain, we did not made a big deal since we were exhausted from the beach and we checked in at 11pm. Breakfast was great. And if any one wonders yes my family and I agree if we go up to NH and Maine again we will stay in the same hotel again. We will just ask to please make sure the extra blankets are all clean.

I have stayed at the Fairfield Inn and Suites and have enjoyed it every time I have visited Exeter. We have been very pleased with the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness and the proximity to quite a few great restaurants and attractions. (It is only 15 minutes from the beach)! The hot breakfast selection was also very good. The only downside was that the business center was temporarily not available due to renovations this trip. It is a good hotel at an affordable price and well with the money. Overall, it would be my first choice if I needed a hotel in the area.

There was construction going on in the rooms surrounding ours. ( we were not aware so that wasn’t great ) and our room was in need of updating! Pretty shabby. Poorly patched tiles in the bathroom, old phone hanging on the walls! Also , the indoor pool was nasty green. We paid well over $300 per night. Not at all worth it.

For a 3 night I had to ask for housekeeping and was told it was not routine. What's with that? When the room was "cleaned" they only made the bed and replaced the towels. The bathroom wasn't cleaned up, the coffee service was left a mess. The trash can was not emptied. There were people smoking right outside of the front door so everyone entering could get a nice whiff of tobacco. Overall a lousy and dirty hotel for a ridiculously high price to get a crappy room and service.
