Super comfy bed and quiet room. I don't think I have ever stayed in a hotel room with an AC unit that was as quiet as this one. We were looking for a place that was easy to access the Bank of NH Pavilion, and this was much better than expected. Nice view from the balcony right outside the room and a clean pool to boot!
