Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers cozy rooms under the eaves, modern and clean bathrooms, and a comforting fireplace. The staff, while starting off friendly and professional, can sometimes become rude. However, they make up for it with gestures like complimentary drinks. The location, although not in a prime area, is convenient for exploring nearby towns and attractions. Dining could be improved for the price paid. Overall, a satisfactory experience with some room for enhancement.
Staying at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although not terribly large and tucked under the eaves, provided a well-appointed and comfy experience. The service was exceptional, with thoughtful gestures like complimentary drinks and turkey sandwiches. The location, just a short drive away from various attractions and in a seemingly quiet neighborhood, offered convenience and tranquility. However, the dining experience could have been improved, considering the price paid for the stay.
My stay at the hotel was just lovely! The rooms were exactly as described – nice and clean with very fresh bedding and pillows, although a bit small, they felt cozy and modernized. The service was truly professional and top-notch, making me feel truly welcomed during my entire visit. The location was perfect, situated in a beautiful historic neighborhood within easy reach of all the sights. The dining experience was wonderful, especially the next morning with attentive service. The facilities provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the Exeter Inn was a mixed experience. The rooms were tiny and the decor felt dingy and outdated, but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, just 10 minutes away from town, and the dining experience had its ups and downs. The facilities were adequate but could use some improvements.
