We’re so happy with Exeter Inn that’s why we always try to book there even if it’s a smaller room. Helpful staff, great location to Main Street, walkable and nice quiet neighborhood. The Inn’s lobby smells nice like those Marriott hotels and their towels are so soft. If you want to have a Gilmore Girls hotel vibe go here!

Staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Our room was spacious and the little ‘extras’ were a treat…a glass of champagne when we arrived, chocolate chip cookies at 4 pm and a delicious breakfast the next morning. Would love to stay here again if ever we are back in exeter

We booked Exeter Inn for a night. We absolutely loved the staff, everyone was so pleasant and nice. Rooms were cleaned. They are going to renovate the whole building in 2027, so that would add some kore points to the place. If you are looking for charming, romantic New England staycation but in budget, this place is good for that.

Clean room. Easy parking. They are upgrading the hotel next year. Breakfast was mediocre with stale pastries and hard boiled eggs but it was appreciated. The elevator barely fit 2 people. Overall great for the price and a good option for folks without breaking the bank since the inn at the Bandstand is ridiculously priced. Had a few family members and friends stay here too and they were satisfied and will stay again.

Historic Inn within Exeter, outside of the Hotel Chains which made for a very enjoyable stay. Rooms were good, but do need a bit of updating, which I believe is in the process. This was a Birthday Trip for my 90-year-old Mother. She found the Inn accommodating for her needs. Thoroughly enjoyed the courtyard and afternoon Tea in the Garden. Staff was Excellent. Non-rushed, relaxing and easy stay in a quaint New England town with many historical sites.

The staff was very friendly and helpful during both check-in and check-out. Breakfast was included and was excellent. The breakfast staff was awesome and kept everything well stocked. There was a great variety of options, including bacon, eggs, potatoes, bagels, pastries, yogurt, cereal, and more. The room was very quiet, and I got a great night's sleep. The bed was comfortable, and the room had some character and charm. However, it did seem like it could use a little maintenance. The interior had a bit of a 1970s feel to it. The front door was difficult to open and close, the shower water was only lukewarm, and I couldn't get the TV to work. The TV was a Fire TV with several viewer accounts already added. It kept asking for a PIN code before I could watch anything. I called the front desk for assistance, but unfortunately, no one answered the phone.

The hôtel is a beautiful building in a lovely area of Exeter. The breakfast was very good compared to other hotels. Staff was ok. The room was far from tip top: plaster damaged by water not repaired on the ceiling, rusty heater, constant humming in the room, proximity of the other room where guests were yelling and slamming doors at midnight, slight bad odor in the room, etc. 3.5 star rating is not accurate at all. But the overall beauty of the building saves the stay. A few repairs would surely help.
