Okay, it was 28 degrees and starting to rain/snow and we were so relieved to be inside the lobby of the Exeter Inn! But, 7 p.m. on Oct. 18th. no fire to welcome us in the lobby! No excuse from desk clerk for that. Key machine not working, no excuse again, so we had to be escorted to our room... more

This place has been completed gutted and renovated in the past year so remember that when reading the older reviews. The restaurant in so good we drive 35 min for the food on special occassions. Please don't hesitate to stay here! You will not be disappointed. It is gorgeous. more

Although the Inn looked out of our price range, it was less expensive than cheap motels and hotels (Days Inn's, Econolodges etc) in nearby Portsmouth so we figured what did we have to lose? We were surprised to find the Inn even... more

I stayed at the Exeter Inn last winter. The room was cold, and I found it very hard to regulate the temperature - one minute freezing, the next like a sauna. Although it advertises itself as a "conference center," there was no high-speed internet connection, only dial up, which was a major problem for me. The towels were small and... more

Worth the trip especially at Holidays. The Exeter Inn at Christmas is my favorite for ambience and food. more
