My family stayed here for graduation weekend for University of NH. I was greeted quickly from Kevin who was working the front desk. Over our stay, he was so very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, they were also out of cots when we checked in but my sister(must be because she has 2 Eagle scouts in her family) had brought one... More

Dear Guest, First, I'd like to apologize - we feel badly that you did not enjoy your stay. The Front Desk staff let me know of this situation as they worked very hard to make you as comfortable as they could given that we did not have cots available for you. You had reserved a room with two beds and... More

whenever you are in a small college town, you can never quite know how heavily used and abused a local hotel can be. We were very pleasantly surprised with the excellent condition of this Holiday Inn Express. It was two weeks before college graduation, so the hotel was very quiet. The staff at the hotel are delightful college/college age students... More

Great location with 5 minute walk of UNH. Room was very comfortable. Flat screen tv. Comfortable bed and good shower. Very good breakfast included in nice dining room with morning news on TV. Friendly staff that happily provided a late checkout time. Will definitely stay there again if visiting UNH.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on March 17, the night before a meeting at the Universiy of New Hampshire. The hotel was convenient to campus and I was able to leave my car in the hotel parking lot during my morning meeting; this alone is a very important bonus as parking anywhere on campus is impossible. The hotel... More

Durham isn't an easy place to stay since the University of New Hampshire's New England Center closed. The Holiday Inn Express has a great location close to the center of town and UNH. It's your basic Express hotel, decent service, OK decor, clean and pretty quiet. Breakfast was nothing special, but free. In my last (January) stay I found the... More

Great location to UNH (approx 15 min walk/less than 5 minute drive); no other choices unless you drive to Dover - thereby the price. Modest hotel situated next to row of apartment housing. Hotel shares its parking lot so make sure you display your parking permit. Great breakfast assortment. Decent size room, clean and comfy. Windows opens up/down, flatscreen tv,... More

I liked it as a hotel as its the closest/only hotel in town, albeit, several outside of Durham. We were in town for a UNH open house and it is a clean, well kept hotel with very nice attentive people at the front desk and in the breakfast room. At $200+ it was very pricey for a NH hotel and...
