    Matt B.

    Excessive over the top, some in poor taste, halloween decorations. Clean and comfortable hotel obviously run by someone who is a a bit kooky.

    The hotel

    A great hotel choice and for a cheap price. paid about $90 a night. The pool is in a heated room and keeps it nice and warm. It's a bit rundown but it's still really nice. I had booked a king bed with a sofa bed and the room was absolutely massive. The bathroom is very nice and it comes with some really nice small amenities. The complementary breakfast isn't the greatest but it was still very good. For the days we were here they had scrambled eggs, sausage patties, muffins, bagels and toast with a spread of peanut butter, jelly, or Nutella along with a pancake machine. The staff at the front desk is there 24/7 and are extremely friendly. The housekeepers are amazing and very friendly. 100% recommend

    Not up to the standard I expect from Homewood Suites. The main issue was with odors in the room and…read morethe hallway. The hallway smelled liked a burnt Teflon pan. The room was heavily deodorized to mask a problem. The applied scent bothered me. Luckily the windows could be opened (but only a crack). The true issue was with a mold issue that I couldn't see but could smell. I also got flu-like symptoms from it. The paint on the doors inside the room was sticky to touch too. I could hear traffic on the busy road near my room. Finally, the breakfast was lousy. The oatmeal was undercooked with a slimy liquid. Very disgusting. Box eggs and cheap salty sausage. The best thing was the prefab tater tots. I see that a fellow Yelper complained about a mildew smell 12 years ago!! So this issue has been ongoing. I learned that the night social only happens at this location on Wednesday nights. Final word, I wanted to make my own pancakes from scratch in my room until I saw the frying pan that the hotel provided in the room. Burnt, scratched nonstick pan. I would never use that pan. See photo!

I mean how is that even possible? Though we were somewhat comfortable in the tiny room, I was surprised that there wasn't even a refrigerator, though that may have been an error on our part in not reading the fine print. I felt the dark wall colors made this super small room seem claustrophobic and the room length mirror behind the bed was clearly outdated and a bit porn star trashy. See the photo for proof LOL The fitted sheet and mattress cover was too small for the large profile mattress making us wrap up like mummies by the morning which is kind of gross. I understand that COVID may be to blame for some of this but just an FYI. The elevator was also quite dirty and it's amazing that our price was $65 MORE per night than the place across the street which had a living room attached as well which we had stayed at last year.

    Garrison Hotel, Dover NH…read more Visiting a sibling and her family during the December 2025 holiday season, I booked a room at the Garrison Hotel & Suites Dover-Portsmouth, an Ascend Collection Hotel in the Choice group of hotels (Room: $110; Taxes and other charges: $9.93). This will be my fifth stay at the Garrison, which I have selected because of its close location to my sister's family home in Dover. The hotel has consistently proved to be a good choice. The room was clean, well-furnished, and quiet throughout my stay. The front staff members were alert, helpful, and easy to understand. There are an indoor pool and a fitness center, and a grab-and-go breakfast was offered (although I had an early departure, so I declined the offer). Making and confirming the reservation was seamless and problem-free.

The cleaning staff so friendly and kind - especially the man with the tattoos. Reception was super friendly and helpful. She ran up a new key card for me. There seems to be an issue with the cards losing their magnetic codes, but that's pretty normal. The kitchen/breakfast attendant was above and beyond. She was so gracious when dealing with a family with a messy baby and toddler. The family did a good cleanup, but she let them feel that they weren't a burden and did the left over cleanup and seemed genuinely cool with it all. So this wasn't my baby, but you know the vibes all round make you feel good. She deserves a raise! There are long term guests living there, but I don't feel uncomfortable around working class people or poor folk, coming from that socio-economic bracket originally myself. No issue with bed bugs at all and I'm a New Yorker so I'm experienced with those buggers. Amazing staff, comfortable room, great location, inexpensive, next to Sol Yoga (95 degree y'all!), great neighborhoods for a jog, great Thai food at Thai Taste- 5 minutes drive away, clean and warm enough pool. FANTASTIC stay!

Up until this last visit this past weekend in August, I found the place to be a great value for the money spent. Rooms were clean, and the common walkways and parking lot were also well kept and clean. However, this past weekend we were there for three nights and perhaps management has changed, but this was a different experience, all negative. First, the parking lot was strewn with cigarette butts as were the common walkways to get to the rooms. There was a strong smell of urine in the common walkway area, so bad that we had to hold our breath as we walked up the stairs to get to our room. Note that three nights at this place cost over $360. At one time smoking was allowed at this place but it became smoke-free a while back. Our room, though, smelled of stale cigarette smoke. It was a smoke-free room, but one could tell that the cigarette smoke had seeped into the walls and furniture. We had to buy two room fresheners to offset the smell, but it was still pretty awful. We tried to change rooms to the enclosed pool area, which had about 12 rooms that were separated from the outside room walkways. That pool area did not have that urine smell, but we were told all rooms were booked. We thought about cancelling the remaining nights and going to another place, but all the motels/hotels in the area were booked, so we were stuck. The condition of the room was less than desired. The carpets did not look (or feel) clean - we walked around in our flip-flops so our feet would not touch the floor. The bed spread had threads coming apart from it. We checked for bed bugs and found none, so that was a plus I suppose. The bathroom was very small, there were indented holes in the wall from the bathroom door handle hitting it over the years, and the walls were dirty and looked like they hadn't been painted in years. Suffice it to say we will never stay there (or at a Days Inn) in the future.

    What happened to this place?! I've come here twice before,…read morelast year, and it was really pretty great. The staff member at the front desk was helpful and super friendly. This year, I booked one night - $226 (?????) and it was atrocious start to finish. We arrived and apparently the power was out - whatever, not their fault. However the kid working the front desk was on another planet. He asked me to put my card in and pay, but then it didn't work because the power was out, so then he told me to take a picture of his computer screen? Apparently my card was charged even though he didn't tell me? Check-in was at 3:00. We arrived at 3:30, and the room wasn't ready until 4:30. When it finally was, it was disgusting. Mud on the bathroom floor, pubes in the bed and on the rug, toilet paper stuffed into the peep hole? What the hell is going on here? The power finally was on when we came back from dinner. We didn't think it would be back because the staff was so nonchalant about the power being out. There was no urgency, no care that it was happening? But we weren't offered anything. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I'm sort of amazed they didn't offer a discount or anything at all. The pool was down for "Maintenance," the entire place smelled atrocious. The only option downtown you have, and they price it that way, but WOW has this gone downhill. It is worth going out of town a little and driving in to avoid this place. Sorry!
