Whether you are looking for a comfortable place to stay when visiting historic Dover, or a convenient pit stop on the way up to Mount Washington, this newer chain hotel along Route 16 has a lot to recommend it. There are a good number of double rooms with queen beds and space for cots and cribs. Rooms are spotless, with white bed linens and unobtrusive beige and dark wood furniture. The bathrooms have marble vanities and tubs, as well as microwaves and refrigerators.

In addition, the hotel has a nice lounge in the lobby with stylish tables and leather-cushioned chairs. It doubles as a breakfast room in the morning, when guests can partake in a free hot breakfast buffet. The hotel also has a good-sized indoor pool. Its location on the highway is a 10-minute drive from Dover’s town center, with its children’s museum and quirky Woodman Institute Museum and about 15 minutes from the University of New Hampshire campus in nearby Durham.
