It's our second stay here. We had a great room with a good king size bed and everything we may need. Even though I had messed up my reservation, the staff was helpful and accommodating. It's also pet friendly. Given how expensive hotels are around Concord, the Minuteman Inn is a great alternative and very reasonably priced.

Nice clean room, convenient location, decor, furnishings, and bathroom fixturing is dated, but in good condition. Will be staying again as it’s a very affordable room with super comfortable beds, cold AC, WiFi, microwave, fridge, and a TV. Was worried it would be noisy as it’s close to a main road, but it was super quiet and I slept like a rock.

Upon checkout staff said computer was down; they did not give me a price at check in, so I still don't know how much I actually paid. Bring your own toiletries-theirs are terrible. At least place was clean.
