The property itself and the lady who checked us in were good. When we started to walk to our room we noticed a smoke smell. We got to our room and it started out okay but then for the rest of the night there was a smoke smell. I was sick all night!

When I checked in and was assigned my room, there was already someone in the room when I opened the door. TV never worked at all. I did not feel safe,and there were people drinking beer outside my first floor sliding door at 315 am. I will not stay there again.

Front desk person was v nice & when I asked for quietest room available, he provided me with a room that was indeed v quiet. The restaurant attached to the hotel is v popular & parking was a bit limited until the restaurant closed. Close to shopping/fast food places. Hotel provided list of nearby restaurants, many of which delivered to hotel. Breakfast above average with fried eggs, sausage, egg/chorizo burritos plus waffles, pancakes, cereal, etc. Coffee/tea available 24/7. Coffee machine made capaccinos--a nice bonus. Some nice parks nearby for walking. I would definitely stay here again.

Musty guest room
The desk service was excellent. We enjoyed the pool and the buffet breakfast. The breakfast service was excellent. The reason for the low rating is the condition of the guest room. It was extremely musty and the carpet was damp. It made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep. We were on the first floor. If I stay there again, I’ll request a second floor room.

Great pet friendly hotel!!! This hotel has accomodating fur babies done to a science! They have a designated area of rooms for guest with pets. It was easy access coming in and out of the hotel with your dog/fur babies. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and again with or without my pet companions.

We had a lot of biting mosquitos in our room and it smelled like cigarettes. We were traveling with our dog and they put us in a room next to another dog who barked a lot. There was a group of men having some sort of golf meetup there and the trashcans were overfollowing with trash and beercans. The TVs were programmed wrong and you couldn't actually get NBC on the TV. It was CBS instead. And the CBS channel was also CBS. So no watching the Olympics live which was a huge bummer for us.

Had an overnight stay here as a part of a trip through New England. My room was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Staff was friendly and pleasant. I stayed at other best westerns in surrounding states as a part of this trip and this BW in Keene was the nicest stay I had in regards to cleanliness and comfort. No issues to report and I would stay here again without a second thought.

Not bad for an older property. However, we were there for three nights and didn't get any housekeeping. We were told they would get to the room after the 2nd night, but that didn't happen.
