Average
Pros:

This hotel is average. We stayed here for a weekend visit with our son who attends UNH. The beds are comfortable, but the building is old so you can hear every sound around you. If you are a light sleeper I’d stay somewhere else. It is walking distance to downtown and to campus so that is very convenient. It is rather expensive for the quality of the hotel. I’ve stayed in Portsmouth, Exeter and Dover for other visits and the hotels there are much nicer and cleaner.
