Great Location!
My husband and I stayed here recently for a USA Hockey weekend event at the Rinks at Exeter. This hotel was perfect. It is located 5 minutes from the Rinks, and it is a 10min walk to a very cute downtown area with multiple coffee shops and breweries/restaurants. We did not spend an excessive amount of time in the hotel, but it was peaceful and clean. It is an old hotel, but has been kept up nicely. The only thing I noticed that was missing was a fan in the bathroom. The staff was friendly and helpful, location was perfect, and I would recommend staying here for an event like what we attended, or a couple's weekend.

Wish it was better
Smallest room I've ever stayed in, anywhere...not even a dresser/chest of drawers. Room was drafty, cold coming through windows...took some effort to get the heat to stay on. Bathroom sink very slow to drain. Uncomfortable pillows. Breakfast from attached restaurant (separate charge) was nothing special.
