My partner and I got married 10/4/25 at the Barn and we could not recommend this venue enough! Our…read morecoordinator from The Red Barn, Emily, was with us every step of the way. She went above and beyond on our wedding day to ensure we had drinks, food, even going as far as helping my mother in law get to and from photos. She helped keep our little one entertained throughout the night so we were able to truly enjoy ourselves. Every single guest commented on how incredible she was-- if I could give her more than 5 stars I would.

The red barn is quite picturesque from the outside. It's a bit sterile on the inside so if you are…read moreplanning and event here, you may need to dress up the banquet hall. The bathrooms are clean but they could use more stalls. Parking is easy, although messy if it's raining. The acoustics aren't too bad if there is a DJ. The servers are all excellent, and they attempt to do silver service, meaning that they serve food simultaneously to each person at the table, etc. It's not silver service! The food is ok. We had steak tips that were delicious. The chicken picatta was dry and tiny. This is a great place for a wedding or corporate event, just be sure to stay on top of the details.

My wife and I got married at Granite Rose earlier this year and had the most amazing time!…read moreEverybody did a great job, but there were a few people who went above and beyond: Julia made the planning process efficient and fun, Anna did an amazing job with our rehearsal and ceremony coordination, and Janet kept everything running smoothly on the big day. The food was excellent, and the kitchen was highly accommodating of all of our requests (modifications due to allergies, kids' meals, etc.). We always felt like we were in good hands and thus cannot recommend the venue and team at Granite Rose more highly!

Charming historic hotel, the closest one you can get to Phillips Exeter Academy (just a 4-5 minute…read morewalk). Rooms are on the small side, and you definitely feel like you're in an old historic building; however, the beds are comfortable, heating system is effective without being overly loud or breezy, and the bathrooms are nicely updated. Not much storage for clothes -- no chest of drawers, and the only shelves we could use were in the bathroom. Wi-fi is free but not superfast. There are adequate power outlets throughout the room (on the wall, and also as part of a lamp and an alarm clock). TV service is pretty basic; no premium movie channels or Chromecast ability. Keurig machines are standard, which are a nice touch. No fridge or safe. The lobby and lounge areas are beautiful, as is the attached restaurant, Epoch. Complimentary continental breakfast includes bagels (with a toaster), prepackaged waffles, cereals, pastries, fruit, yogurt, coffee/tea, milk, and a few juices. Coffee was quite good. They routinely put out really good cookies in the afternoon. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful. The first time we stayed here, I felt that some kind of fragrance in the room was making my eyes feel very dry, so I spoke to the front desk ahead of our second stay. They assured me that they use fragrance-free detergent for the sheets, but housekeeping does spray air freshener, so I asked for that not to be done -- and I had no problem this time. Plenty of free parking on the street in front of the hotel, as well as a large lot in the back. 2 Tesla chargers and one ClipperCreek charger (with a J-1772 plug) are available for guests, but it's $25 per charge (presumably no matter how much electricity you use).

This place has fallen off. I've stayed here several times before, but not in quite some time…read more The good: -The bed is amazing! -Large TV -Customer Service was friendly and check in was easy, as always. Kodie was all smiles! The bad: -My hot water in the sink didn't work -My heat didn't seem to work. -The pool was closed despite reading something otherwise. -One of my rooms windows wasn't closed properly-like they opened the Newpro style windows to do something and didn't put them back on track. -They are working on this place. The sounds are loud. Even on weekends! Overall, it's a Holiday Inn Express and they are working on it, but it shouldn't be this poor. Ultimately if I had said something they would have found me a better room-but once you are all unpacked who wants to do that? I also failed to realize until we had already spent some time here. Holiday Inn should be better about things like this!
