Do not go there if your in a hockey tournament! At the beginning the check in process goes smooth and they are nice as pie, then as the day progresses they get more annoyed at the fact there are kids there staying for a hockey tournament down the road that actually want to go swimming in the pool that is the size of a postage stamp. But because the pool area echoes when they are swimming and having fun they are told to be quiet even at 1 in the afternoon. They are even told to be quiet while in their rooms watching tv or playing music not loud at all. We were asked to leave the next day and were handed a sheet of other places to stay in the area(nice huh?) then when we were checking out they stated that we didn’t actually have to leave,(wait did I miss something?) Anyway this place is small and not equipped to have hockey tournament families and players of any age. They should remove themselves from the tournament list of recommended places to stay…

This is your typical Fairfield Inn by Marriott. The place was very clean and the staff was friendly. I had no issues with the room. The rooms had nice bathrooms, cozy beds, and a flat screen tv. Location wise this hotel is right by downtown Manchester, NH and only an hour away from Boston. Be prepared to meet a bunch of patriot and Red Sox fans lol.

We stayed there over the weekend and had a very nice experience. We found the front desk staff to be extremely friendly and very professional. Our room was clean, the bed was comfy and the décor was nice and beautiful. I cringe sometimes at the cheesy décor many hotels seem to have, but whomever decorated this Fairfield Inn has taste. I would definitely stay here again, or recommend to a friend.

Maybe its just me but I’m generally a fan of hotels like the Fairfield Inn. I don’t need all the fluff luxury 5 star hotels offer in order to enjoy my stay. Continental breakfast every morning and a «mini mart» area for late night snacks compliment the waiting and dining areas all outfitted with wireless internet. The rooms are a nice size and comfortable. King or two queen beds, comfy but the blanked could be softer. Nice sized bathroom with Pantene shampoo(yay!), cable and wifi(of course). There’s a dunkin/gas station mini mart right next door and the staff is friendly. Overall, a safe, clean and comfy place to spend a night or two.

This was a great hotel. A co-worker and I stayed here 2 seperate time and both time were great. It was a very clean and updated hotel. The front desk people were very nice and friendly. I would stay here again.

Less than an hour from Boston, just off the I-93, under $ 100 a nite! Also, you get: * Workout room, pool * Free light breakfast(the standard FISM fare) * Free hi-speed internet that is actually hi-speed * Very nice and accomodating staff I stayed here on a road trip between Boston and Montréal because I couldn’t leave early in the day(had to drop the son off at Logan) and It was going to cost me $ 370 more to stay in downtown Boston another night. So, I fired up the Marriott hotel website(I’m a Platinum member, so I choose Marriott most of the time) and found that getting to Hookset would only take an hour at the end of the day and get me out of Boston metro for the next day commute. Of course, $ 89/nite seemed attractive, too. The Unilocal reviews were good, so I pushed the button and here i am. if you need a place on the I-93 in this region, this is the one!

I really, really, really wanted to like this hotel… I was looking forward to my stay here since it put me so close to family & friends. By the end of my 4 nights here, however, I found myself rather happy to depart, and not just because I was ready to get home. To be fair, I agree with both Jen F. & Paul C. in some of their observations. Let’s start with the good: * Accomdoations — The hotel itself is right off the highway, is newer with a fun décor, and had plenty of parking space. The rooms were nice and had super comfy beds. Nice touch on the flat screen tvs, too. No fridges in the rooms though… what’s up with that? Not having a fridge in room nearly drove me crazy given the price I paid. * Continental Breakfast — Though fairly standard, I enjoyed the plentiful options including cereals, oatmeal, bagels, toast, pastries, and fruit. There was even a waffle maker, yay! * Laundry area — I’m just happy it had one, honestly. * Housekeeping staff — very friendly, polite, and quick. * Wi-fi — can you say«free»? Yay for internet! The so-so: * Pool area — nice, but tiny. They work with the space given, but I’d hate to be here during a crowded time. No hot tub — really? Sadness… * Workout room — more like 2 treadmills and an elliptical machine. Whatever happened to stationary bikes. Again, the space was small, so they outfitted it the best they could manage, I’m sure. * Noise levels — I know this isn’t completely within the hotel’s control since some guests are louder than others, but the walls provided very little buffer from the hallway. Fortunately, I wasn’t near the elevator, otherwise I’d have gone nuts. The not-so-good: * Service — hands down some of the rudest people I’ve spoken to in the hotel industry. Everyone behind the front desk was short and not even close to friendly. Check-in was a joke since it took the person a good 5 minutes to come out from the back office. She didn’t welcome me nor did she give me information about the hotel. One evening, I called because my room door had been left open after housekeeping tended to it. I wasn’t mad when I called, I merely wanted to make sure it was noted. The woman at the front desk would not acknowledge the issue, never said they would address it or check my deadlock, and never even bothered to apologize or ask if any items were missing. Maybe I’m use to better service where they actually care(or pretend to) about the customer, but this was the worst part of my stay. I ended up attempting to avoid the front desk as much as possible. * Hold on your credit card — Most hotels I’ve stayed at lately require a credit card upon check-in, but I haven’t run into a hotel that puts an actual HOLD on your card in ages. There is a sign posted about it at the front desk, warning that it may take up to 15 days for the money to repost to your account. However, what they fail to tell you is that the hold is going to be for more than your hotel stay — one staff member informed me it was actually for your actual charges + 20% for incidentals. Not only is this unnecessary(they can charge your credit card for incidentals after you leave, obviously), it is just a way for them to get a free loan for a few weeks. Not a fan and not impressed with this business practice. Alright, so I may give them another shot when I roll thru town, however, this time I’m not going to be as nice about the rude staff.

Fairly new; so everything looks new & clean. Decent room, good parking, close to everything, breakfast is usual stuff you help yourself to in morning. Best experience was women who takes care of the breakfast bar who was very friendly, and accommodating; so was housekeeping staff. I gave this place two stars after staying one week; all people that work main check in counter/desk are not friendly, and somewhat crude & rude; Marriott should send all of them to a attitude adjustment class somewhere.
