Top Exeter Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Portsmouth Exeter

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Portsmouth Exeter

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 5 nights at this location. We had no issues. I highly recommend Fairfield to anyone looking for a clean, well maintained hotel in great locations. This is our 3rd stay at Fairfield in the last year, and we search for these hotels specifically. If I had one thing, and this is truly not anything horrible, I'd love for all of the hotels to have the pancake flippers because those are amazing! Overall, a wonderful establishment!"
