Exeter Inn – Exeter

Phillips Exeter Academy built the Inn in 1932 for family and guests of the students. Picture the families taking the train from Boston, walking the several blocks to the Inn, gathering with the student in one of the parlors or eating in the dining room. The Academy is several blocks up the street. The Exeter inn's rooms are the size of a small but comfortable […] and functional dorm room containing a full bahroom and closet. They are modernized in keeping with he '30s but have luxurious ammenities like nice soap, thick robes, generous bedding and pillows and flat screen tv. We loved the room and slept soundly. Excellent price for the breakfast. Easy access to the rest of Exeter as well as highway. Quinticential New England town with prestigious high school, period architecture down town with all the chains near the highway. Perfect for a destination. Lesa meira

room was small and so was the bed

only stayed one night as we were visiting friends, very comfortable and relaxing feeling, didn't get to check out the bar, but breakfast was nice having choice of continetal or standard breakfast fare, very reasonable and polite staff. Chocolate chip cookies were great.

Most on the stay was great despite the hotel pipes being frozen, but the bartender/restaurant staff seem to be on a power trip--they need to realize that they are there as part of the hotel, and not as part of a beach bar. Cater to the client, fellas!

I loved it. I wish I could have enjoyed the facilities longer (checked in at midnight and left at 7:30am). The cookies were great; the robe was nice and soft; the bed was perfect; and I really appreciated the Gilchrist & Soames bath products.Nice job trying to modernize a very old building (lots of plugs and lighting was pretty good). The restaurant/bar […] looked great. Coffee was excellent. Very good location and lots of parking. I will definitely stay there again instead of the chain hotels. Lesa meira

It is a classic small hotel that was recently updated. They don’t build them like this anymore. Though it only has 42 rooms, there is a great restaurant and bar. It is near the center of town and surrounded by historic houses. I have stayed here many times, including before the renovations. It is a nice change from the chain hotels.

The hotel and room were very nice. Our only complaint was about the bathroom, the shower just had a glass wall that only covered half of the front of the shower. Therefore we had a flood every morning.

We stayed at the Exeter Inn to be near family, who live in the area. The room was over-crowed with a king bed and large desk. (We booked a queen bed) We hit the desk every time we went around the bed. Not much room to put your luggage. The bathroom had mildew on the walls & ceiling. No screen in the bathroom window. So could not open the window, to […] let the humidity out from the shower. Lesa meira

We have been staying here every summer for a multi day horse show. It is clean, quaint and charming. Excellent food and nice to get a warm cookie in the evening. Walking distance to town with lots of shops and restaurants. Highly recommend.

Great older inn; staff were fabulous both on the phone when making a reservation and in person during our stay. Front desk staff came right up and helped us when the cable TV wasn't working and immediately moved us to another room when it couldn't be repaired quickly. One complaint - the shower with the half glass wall does not work at all. No matter […] how you angle the showerhead, the water gets sprayed to the outside floor. We went through at least one extra bath towel per shower to dry the floor off. Also, the window in the bathroom was stuck or painted shut - couldn't open it. Given this old inn doesn't have fans in the bathroom, having that window open would have been nice - it becomes like a humid icky sauna. Otherwise, we loved the stay. The bed was great; the cookies and turn down service each night very nice! We will stay here again if in Exeter. Lesa meira

In one word my stay at The Exeter Inn was DREADFUL!!!!! My daughter and I were returning from a weekend with family in Massachusetts. We decided to stay in NH an extra night on our way home to Maine to race in a half marathon the following morning in Hampton Falls, NH. Although the hotel is beautiful, the night we stayed there was a wedding at the hotel. […] The music was very loud and directly outside our room. Additionally, in the room directly next to our room there was a very drunk, very loud guest screaming about the wedding he had just attended. It went on ALL NIGHT LONG. Needless to say, we did not sleep at all. We went to the half marathon and because we were so tired we did not race and only ran the course. The price of the hotel and $140 for the half marathon wasted. Perhaps The Exeter Inn should keep all wedding guests on one floor away from all other guests. I will never stay at The Exeter Inn again.

The hotel is very nice on the outside. Nice gardens and lighting. The inside bar area and restaurant are also very pleasing to the eye. This seems to be where the updates ended. The front desk reception area is tired. There is nothing exciting about the interior hallways and very little common areas. Rooms are tiny, which is fine given the style of […] property, but given the style this hotel seems to want to be, I was disappointed that there was no coffee makers in the room, and as silly as it seems the toilet paper was 1-ply truck stop tissue. Just seems that they are cutting costs unnecessarily, assuming people won't notice or care. They did offer complimentary coffee at reception, but I find this a nuisance ti have to get up, dressed just to get my morning coffee. They do offer turn down service, with cookies which was a nice touch. They food at Epoch, was fabulous. I was quite impressed and intrigued by the menu, and the items ordered did not disappoint. I would highly recommend a meal (I only had dinner) here. With some small changes to this hotel, clean comforters (they should go to sheets around the duvet, like most hotels these days), coffee makers, better tissue and a friendlier reception desk staff (never once said hello or good morning or good evening when you walked past to get a coffee or leave the hotel) this hotel would be much easier to recommend Lesa meira

The only drawback to our stay was the size of the room. Very cozy though. The homeade cookies were delicious and such a personal touch.

Exeter Inn is set in a great location in a wonderful little town. The Inn was surrounded by beautiful homes in tree lined streets. It was also a short drive to coast activities. I will go back again.

I can't see how this hotel can have a 3.5 star rating. I do a lot of business traveling and when I pay for a 3.5 to 4 star hotel I expect something a little nicer than a "motel". The room was notoriously small. It was like staying in a room the size of a large closet literally! Nothing is really included in the package other than the room and a couple […] of cookies on the room desk. It was just awful! The room I stayed in is classified "junior queen". It should be renamed "CLOSET converted to a room and given fancy name so we can book it out but it's still a closet". The front desk girl called it "cozy", I think she was just being nice or was instructed to say that. Bottom line? NEVER AGAIN! Lesa meira

There was a wet area on the rug in the room. Upon leaving the coffee was almost empty and little milk available. All the hannels for the tv did not appear until the evening.

I only stayed one night while visiting a family member but I would definitely stay there again. I had reserved a room with one queen bed for myself and my granddaughter. A grandson decided to go at the last minute and the inn upgraded me to a room containing two queen beds without an additional charge.

Our room was upgraded for free to a much larger room so after a long drive it was nice to be able to have the space to relax in. Yes as noted by some other reviewers the wall paper was coming off the walls but since it was only in the bathroom and I didn't have to sleep in there I couldn't care less. Lots of nice touches though were evident in the bathroom […] (loved the sinks they looked like two wash bowls, the thick glass wall of the shower was spotless) so the wall paper really didn't bother us. A little far removed from some things but close enough to the highway on ramp to get to where more action can be found. Overall I would stay there again and would gladly let my friends in on this nice little hotel. Lesa meira

Only thing I did not like was that it was so comfortable I over slept!

The room was nice, bed had upgraded linens and was comfortable, however the air conditioner leaked and made the room damp or moldy. I left the next morning with a sinus infection!

It was very nice yet I noticed that the lamp shade on the light next to the bed was a mess on the underside. You would only notice it if you were lying down. It needs to be replaced.

The hotel was beautiful and charming but was in need of room repairs (at least the one I was in) Wallpaper pealing, not just a corner, and water was rusty even after running it for a long time. Generally clean just in need of repairs.The staff was fantastic and the drinks at the lounge were crafted works of art and plentiful! If they put a bit of TLC […] in the rooms the place would be perfect! Lesa meira

This was an especially lovely Inn. The room was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean. We were upgraded from a king to a king suite which was a very generous surprise! We tried the cocktail lounge, which was great and had some unusual house specialties. There were freshly baked cookies at the front desk. The Inn also offers an evening turndown service, […] which was another wonderful touch (again, fresh cookies). And, finally the complementary coffee in oversized mugs at the desk in the morning was a very welcome treat. We went to the Inn's brunch and it was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced! All in all, a real treat! We would definitely go back! Lesa meira

The Exeter Inn is a nice place, but the room we stayed at was almost comically small. It lacked a dresser and all but the smallest table. A queen-sized bed took up nearly the entire space. The bathroom was so small that you had to tuck yourself into the corner to close the door and the there was virtually no counter space in there. It's an old hotel, […] and my guess is there is little they can do on the size of some rooms, but they ought not to be renting those to two people. Lesa meira

We came here for my wife's birthday and loved it. 0 complaints or concerns. We were even upgraded to a suite so that we'd have a place to store our bicycles. Turn down service had chocolate chip cookies....better than chocolate. As a surprise, we hit town to find the Exeter UFO Festival there at the same time.......Take it where you will. Will (not […] "would"...WILL) stay there again. Couldn't be happier. Lesa meira
