We stayed on the third floor and didn't hear anyone around us. The pool was relaxing and not at all busy. The free breakfast in the morning was top notch. The western omelette was one of the best I've had in awhile. Plenty of breads and juice to choose from. They also have fresh coffee throughout the day in the lobby

I didn’t realize this was a pet friendly hotel. Our room smelled like a wet dog. Not sure if these hotels have not pat stinking rooms but I f they do perhaps they should ask the guest if they are traveling with a pet? Or maybe the check in clerk disregarded that detail because it was booked through a third party, hotels.com and not directly through Hilton. Who knows?

The room was comfortable and quiet. Plenty of room for the 6 of us in a 2 double queen suite. Did not like how the sink is outside the bathroom . Didn't care for the $5 water in the room. Always thought water was complementary. Towels for the pool were threadbare and got soaked easily. Had to use more than one and a as told only 1 per person.

Overall the property was ok, and the staff was very kind and personable. I really like that I could turn on A/C to make the room more comfortable for sleeping! The bed was the biggest low light of the stay as it was pretty hard and uncomfortable, but luckily we only stayed one night. The breakfast had quite a few hot items that were pretty good. It would be nice if the coffee maker in the room accepted standard coffee pods. Overall a pleasant stay though!

We always stay here when our son travels for hockey. We’re originally from Exeter so it’s basically a second home. The service is exceptional, the rooms are always fresh and clean, loaded with clean linens and toiletries. The TVs are huge, somewhat newer so the quality is clear, and the WiFi is quick. The breakfast is good, the coffee great, but even if you need Dunks it’s right next door. One of the best places for the price. Plus it’s nice having Exeter Hospital right out back and Walgreens across the street. High recommend!

We had an enjoyable stay over four days here while moving my children into PEA over the holiday weekend.The rooms were very comfortable, we had plenty of towels and other items. I called for a rollaway bed and it was delivered quickly. The staff were very friendly, helpful and understanding. I liked receiving daily check-ins from the staff to see if we needed anything. The daily breakfast was nice with a few different options ranging from oatmeal to belgian waffles and a all day coffee station.
