The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Great location very close to UNH. I saw a previous negative comment about parking - the signage was very clear and the staff reiterated which parking areas were owned by the hotel, so parking was not an issue.

Excellent, well kept property. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Considering the hotel was pretty empty, was sort of surprised at the relatively high cost, though it is pretty much the only show in town.

Liked: Staff & service
The room was reasonably quiet after we unplugged the fridge and turned off the heater... blackout blinds worked well... bed was excellent. Bathroom and shower were not above average. Breakfast was fine for most people. We needed low-carb options (zero sugar yogurt). The eggs and coffee were good (for us). I would have turned off the TV noise in the breakfast area and used captions for those that needed the info. Staff were professional, helpful, perfect. The location is great for walking to restaurants in Durham. Parking was free and convenient.

Consistently Excellent Stays I’ve stayed at the Holiday Inn in Durham, NH on several occasions, and it’s always a pleasure. The hotel is consistently clean, convenient, and welcoming. The fitness center is one of the best I’ve seen in a hotel of this size—well-maintained and fully equipped. And the breakfast? Absolutely killer! It’s a great way to start the day. I look forward to returning again soon.
