We had a lovely stay and the staff were incredibly nice. The Fireside Inn was clean but not updated. We love that we had a little patio that we could run out to the car if we needed something instead of having to walk back to the front desk each time. We also loved the animal towel display on our bed (so fun!) and grab-and-go options for breakfast. We hope to stay here again in the future.

The location is good and that’s what you’re paying for. The room needs an update for the price that they charge. Could be a lot cleaner also. It’s very close to the concert venue and that’s the only reason to choose this property.

Not enough time to enjoy the pools

Check in at 4pm and check out at 10 am doesn’t leave much time to enjoy the facility when your seeing a nearby concert. As a person who hates spiders lots if webs everywhere. Is my only complaint. Left a good tip for the maids as they deserved so much more.

We booked a night here for the Black Keys concert. It was very easy to walk to and from the BankNH Pavilion and there were multiple dining options available across the street for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I would highly recommend this property for anyone attending a show at the pavilion. The pools were excellent for quick dips before the show and the morning before we checked out. I gave a less than perfect score for property facilities because the outdoor area for our specific room was underwhelming compared to the other units. Specifically, our patio was right next to the main lobby entrance so we had zero privacy or quiet time at any given time of the day. This is a minor concern since it only applies to that specific room and especially compared to how great everything else was.
