clean room, great breakfast. our room key didn't work a couple of times which they were able to fix, but that's an unnecessary frustration at the end of the day. it's the only reason I can't give 5 stars

The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Great location very close to UNH. I saw a previous negative comment about parking - the signage was very clear and the staff reiterated which parking areas were owned by the hotel, so parking was not an issue.
