I didn’t like the price! Almost $400 for a double bed for one night in early June. Highway robbery! I can get a hotel in NYC for less than that!

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.

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.

Meh. For $400 a night you'd at least think you'd have a clean room. Nope. Stained carpets, dirty windows....odd smell. Won't be staying again.

This property needs to learn the value of community. Anytime there is an event for UNH, they drive up their prices at the expense of the UNH community. The price point for a single night in April (off season) was over $300. For that price we got a room with the wrong bedding that had stains on the walls and basically seemed one step above a roadside motel. Breakfast was included but very poor - items were charred to the heating dishes, etc. When I completed the hotel survey and highlighted these concerns, the managers could have cared less. They were likely too busy taking their money to the bank.
