We had the best stay! We stayed for 9 days, our room was always cleaned and had new towels, the beds were comfy and the staff was amazing!!! Everyone was so kind and happy! The one thing we didn’t like was the parking was tight in the front but they didn’t tell us about the spaces in the back! There is another parking lot behind the building! The breakfast was perfect and always stocked up! Deff worth the stay!

Quality of the room did not match the cost of the room. I’ve stayed at that place before and I feel like it has declined over the years. The rooms used to be better appointed and cleaner. It feels old dated and neglected now.

My family of 4 stayed here for 2 nights when traveling to Hampton beach for a long weekend. It was one of the last places available that was still close enough to the beach so I booked it. Needless to say, we will definitely be choosing to stay here again. I was so surprised how clean it was, it didn’t have that “hotel smell,” everyone was very nice and accommodating, the beds were comfortable, the continental breakfast offered each morning was great, etc. I can usually be very picky with hotels but I have nothing negative to say about this one. Definitely recommend!

I would strongly caution against staying at this hotel. The common areas are not clean; perhaps the staff should spend more time vacuuming and cleaning stains off the walls, rather than posting endless laminated signs throughout the hotel (lobby, elevator, hallways) about its rules and regulation – very aggressive. At night, our toilet began to run and wouldn't stop all night. The blinds in the room were broken and could not be pulled down, therefore letting a flood of light in at sunrise. Also, it is very, very noisy outside the hotel, since another housing complex abuts the hotel; younger people were up all night yelling and partying, making sleep difficult. I wouldn't normally write such a poor review, but upon check-out, I voiced my concerns and was told a manager would have to get back to me. No one did. I then wrote two emails, but no one replied to either. Despite its convenient UNH location, which was great, the cons of the hotel far outweigh the pros.

Front desk was super helpful at check in. I asked about accessibility of bathrm in the room, and he switched us to a room with a larger/accessible bathrm on the first floor. I especially appreciate that he wen tthe extra step of bringing us to the room personally to make sure that it would work for us. I recently had knee surgery and the room was perfect, with comfy bed, large bathrm and seating options so i could do my PT. Parking was right outside the door.

At the end of the day, it is a fine hotel for a quick overnight. Our problem was that when we checked in, the TV in our room didn’t work and we were moved to another room after a bit of a wait. The room we were moved into was a first floor room, and I was surprised to find that the windows to the room which were ground level at the parking lot of the hotel and an apartment building next door were unlocked, and the safety mechanisms were not engaged. Anyone could have broken into that room without any problem whatsoever. I let management know and they were very apologetic, but my expectation is that a hotel has proper safety measures in place for guests and that includes windows and safety locks on first floor rooms being locked and/or engaged. Breakfast was good and the accommodations comfortable so overall we would stay again, but would request a room on the second floor.

Property in good condition overall. Mainly booked this property due to the close proximity to the University of New Hampshire and downtown Durham. Rooms are modern. Shower was decent. Beds are comfortable. I've stayed here several times over the past 4 years, and one thing that's a negative is the quality of the hot breakfast has deteriorated....but it's still a good perk they provide a hot breakfast included with your stay.

The hotel was very clean and the location was excellent! Walkable to everywhere in Durham that we wanted to go! It was very quiet and we would definitely stay there again

clean room, great breakfast. our room key didn't work a couple of times which they were able to fix, but that's an unnecessary frustration at the end of the day. it's the only reason I can't give 5 stars

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.

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!
The breakfast food was cold ,
Coffee terrible!
Check in was not friendly or helpful
There was NO Parking anywhere in the lot, finally after driving around for 10 minutes a spaced opened up, we took it.
Only to find out the next morning, that it wasn’t a space that hotel patrons can use? It was in the same lot, it was dark and not well lit.
Apparently it was not a parking space for hotel patrons?
Our car got towed!!!
It cost $ 200 to get our car back!!
The hotel was no help at all and did not apologize or care!!
We are very disgusted and will never stay at the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS NH

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.

The air conditioning unit was loud, inefficient, and difficult to use. Also we were on the first floor and at 5:30 am a tour pulled up directly outside our window to prepare for the day. For the next 2 hours, the driver worked in the bus. I understand this is not the hotel’s fault, but that coupled with the terrible ac unit that beeped half the night, very little sleep happened.

The reason I did not give 5 stars is because this property was not worth $350 a night. I was expecting a lot more for that price!

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.
