Right on the UNH campus. Large, clean rooms. Would stay here again. Hotel chains like this need to work on their breakfast buffet eggs.

Smell
The room that was booked for our stay smelled so bad we had to change rooms. And that room smelled too!! Room was clean and beds were comfortable but the smell was unbearable. It smelled like water was leaking from the A/C unit onto the carpets. Damp, musty and smelled like feet.

The price was almost double for what I could’ve got it for. Paid 250.00 a night and could’ve had it for 149.00.

Disliked: Amenities
The place was dirtier than most Holiday Inn Express hotels that we’ve stayed at. Ripped curtains, stained chairs and pillow cases, cracked signage. There was no front desk receptionist when we came in so we had to wait a while to be checked in. The restaurant recommendations were outdated. We wish there was a pool. We didn’t love that it shared a parking lot with an apartment complex. We also don’t like bathrooms where the mirror is separated from the toilet and shower.

It was the only hotel that was close to university and it listed a pool in the amenities, which it did not have.The toilet handle wouldn't work (we had to fix it every time we had to flush it). There was not food close so we had to do door dash (which took an hour for delivery because of location). Will NOT be back.

WiFi is not working, tv is not working, the remote control is sticky. Our room is next to a door which is noisy every time people close it, it bangs on. This is not a present place.
