This property needs to learn the value of community. Anytime there is an event for UNH, they drive up their prices at the expense of the UNH community. The price point for a single night in April (off season) was over $300. For that price we got a room with the wrong bedding that had stains on the walls and basically seemed one step above a roadside motel. Breakfast was included but very poor - items were charred to the heating dishes, etc. When I completed the hotel survey and highlighted these concerns, the managers could have cared less. They were likely too busy taking their money to the bank.
