Our stay was amazing. Such a cute place. Walls are a little thin, but that comes with staying at an Inn, so it wasn't a huge issue. Will definitely stay here agin while I'm in town.

There is a restaurant in this hotel with very good food and drinks. Everything was clean and neat. My only complaint would be that the room had a strange odor. I think it was probably the cleaning products they used.

A very old historic property. If you love history, you’ll love it. If you want chrome and glass, not the place for you. The rooms are clean and charming. The restaurant has a great menu with lots of options. I never had a bad meal. Lots of spaces to sit quietly and read both inside and out. The staff is just brilliant. My next trip to NH, I’ll definitely be staying here again.

It has an old style that I enjoyed and so did lots of other folks as the place was busy with outdoor events which weren't loud once I was in my room. The outdoor area was super festive with twinkle lights. It was a bit hard to find parking Sat night. The room and bathroom were clean and comfy. I felt safe. My only complaint was I wish there was a mini fridge in the room.
