This hotel was significantly nicer than most other economy hotels in its class. We found the rooms to be tastefully decorated and comfortable. We had an opportunity to enjoy the small but uncrowded pool (Sunday night). The breakfast was good for this category of hotel and we enjoyed the automatic pancake maker that cooked up tasty pancakes to order. It is not a four-star level hotel, nor does it pretend to be, but it is well above average for a two-star economy tier hotel.

Pros: the property Is very clean, bed comfortable, good water pressure, nice breakfast, friendly staff, pool. Cons: lighting in the rooms is AWFUL, the chairs in the room are very, very, uncomfortable, the desk isn't useable because it is so high and there is no chair other than one that you can't sit in because it pushes you out! I'm not kidding!!

You can never go wrong choosing a Holiday Inn Express. This one in Keene, NH was conveniently located, clean, and has plenty of parking. They offer a hot buffet breakfast which is very nice. The staff were all very professional and helpful especially Dylan the night manager. My only disappointment was the gym was closed for renovations.
