Every aspect of our visit went extremely well with the exception of the bar closing in the middle of the Patriots game leaving a number of fans in the dark

Our room was drafty. The staff, except for the restaurant bartender, was largely indifferent. Of course they charged an additional $15 per day cover charge for being on the premises.

Nice old hotel
We stayed overnight on our way to Maine. This hotel is old, but well maintained and pretty clean. We were disappointed in the size of the room..very small and the bathroom was very, very small with no place to put or hang anything. Other than that, sufficient for an over night stay.

Quaint Inn
Second time staying here while visiting our daughter. Very close to the local restaurants in Exeter. Our room was a bit larger than the first one- but no chair inside the room! Only had the bed to sit on and that was about 3 feet high off the floor! (I have short legs) bed was comfortable sleeping. We ate breakfast on Sunday morning there- sooo delicious and the wait staff was excellent. There was a reception there on Saturday night so parking was limited, however, there are more than one door to enter so we did not have to walk a distance to get into the Inn. Our room was in back, and unfortunately had to listen to the rain hitting the canvas awnings below both nights. The comfortable bed made up for that! Overall a good stay.

The stay would be fine if I was visiting someone in college, but for a travler they had no amendies wewanted, plus we was hit withanothwr fwe for the ammeditiws we had no use of using. No microwave, no refrigerator, breakfast was disappointing. They wantwd you to buy breakfast in rheir restrauat. Wouldnor choose to stay thwre again, not great for the money.

Upon a late-ish arrival our receptionist was friendly and welcoming, thorough in her overview of the inn and our options for dinner and varied services. Bed was very comfortable, climate controls worked well, all parts of the room were in order and perfectly clean. Bathroom was among the nicest of any inn we have stayed in. My wife and I would happily stay here again!
