Quaint. Historic. Overall kind people but the heaters in the room were too old and too loud that i woke up several times in the night. Also unfortunately the carpet is very old and so the humidity is noticable. I will say i appreciate the upgraded shiwer was nice, but bathroom sunk design had no space for toiletries.... Also needs softer pillows.

Every aspect of our visit went extremely well with the exception of the bar closing in the middle of the Patriots game leaving a number of fans in the dark

Very quiet at the time we were there, and the restaurant and bar was closed on Monday. It was fine for us but younger folks might want a livelier atmosphere.

Our room was drafty. The staff, except for the restaurant bartender, was largely indifferent. Of course they charged an additional $15 per day cover charge for being on the premises.

There wasn’t a fan in the bathroom-so the bedroom was always humid. Also, there wasn’t a door on the shower so the floor got soaked every time we showered.

We enjoyed our stay and the room upgrade they gave my husband and I! We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary on 9/30! The staff was very nice and helpful. And the proximity to the Exeter center was within walking distance which was a plus!!!! Thank you Exeter Inn!!!!

I loved the historic buildings in the area. Beautiful. Loved the historic Inn. I had dinner and brunch in onsite restaurant, Epoch - both were great. My only issue is [for any and all that do this] I feel that any required resort fee should be part of the base fee, unless it is optional. I knew when I booked, but I believe it is playing with numbers.
