I loved it here! The staff was fantastic! It was clean, had anything you might have forgotten, nice continental breakfast, wonderful pool, nice little workout area. Right next to CVS, Dunkin, easy to get to the highway and UNH. Lovely sitting area if you want to get out of the room for a bit. I took advantage of the washing machine and dryer which were easy to use. This place made me realize how used to not great hotels I have become! This will always be where I stay when I am in the area!
