Hotele w Jaffrey

This is a lovely hotel in an amazing location that won’t break the bank. What a surprisingly charming little hotel! Though this hotel is amazing, it’s value is in its staff. We were in town for a funeral and the kindness and care we were treated with was above and beyond the norm! From the daytime counter lady, the lovely Ms Bonnie to the hardworking Manager Michael they really went above an beyond to accommodate. They even went so far and to put my daughter (who flew in from another country where she is a student) and her fiancé (that she doesn’t get to see while she is in school) in a lovely room with an amazing view. I will end with their are no words to express my gratitude to them for making a horrible situation as pleasant as possible.

Initially we contacted the sales department for a welcome party at the restaurant for 15 people, a few of whom had hotel reservations for a couple nights stay (including us), as they were coming in from out of state. My wife and I explained that this was a separate party from a rehearsal and we wanted to just order appetizers for everyone and pay for a couple of rounds of drinks. As the group size grew to 23, we were then told (the week before) that we could no longer just order drinks and appetizers and would need to order a complete dinner off their special dinner menu. They claimed it wasn’t worth their kitchen’s effort to serve us just appetizers and drinks. We explained that we were expecting to pay around $600-$800, as our group likes to drink and eat and that several couples would probably stay for dinner after. It didn’t matter, the sales department just said we couldn’t have our party at the hotel restaurant unless everyone ordered dinner. We ended up having a party at the local Gardner Ale house which turned out really great! We spent over $900. Later, my wife and I returned to the hotel and went to the restaurant, just to see how busy it was. At about 8pm and they may have had just 50 people in the restaurant on a Saturday night. Seems to be a poor management decision as a couple of our guests ended up canceling their reservations after hearing about the last minute change from the hotel. In addition, we did stay at the hotel. Our room was physically dirty (needed a good vacuuming) and there was someone smoking in the room across the hall, (we could smell it in the hall and in our bathroom). This was the first night we were there. After mentioning this to staff they came down and agreed they could smell it, but just ended up spraying air freshener. They said they weren’t sure which room it was coming from. The smoking continued until the next day.

Despite Covid 19 restrictions, my partner and I had to spend some time in Keene, NH, and the Marriott Courtyard was perfectly situated for our needs. Parking is free and close to being on site, and there are many restaurants and bistros in walking distance offering curb side pick up, and the bankers and lawyers we needed were close by. This hotel looks either very new or freshly renovated. However, I find that any in-city chain hotel looks pretty much the same no matter the chain that owns it or the locale. Each place needs to have a somewhat glitzy high-end reception desk staffed by someone with an easy smile; some sort of bar or bistro in the lobby, doubling for that morning coffee and complimentary “breakfast” bar of bagels or muffins. Whether its Keene or Peoria, its about the same. Ditto for the rooms: narrow side to side but a long view through the large window overlooking whatever town you’re in. A mini fridge, maybe some sort of coffee machine, shower with unique soap offerings. This Marriott Courtyard checked all those boxes, and the room had a posh men’s club feel with lots and lots of polished dark wood -- so much so that it felt a little oppressive, despite the large window overlooking a parking lot. Maybe it’s more welcoming on bright days. But…. a 2 queen bed room for two travelers, but only one upholstered comfy chair? We had to take turns being comfortable in the chair to watch the big screen TV or to sit on the rolling desk chair. The mini fridge had a tendency to growl most of the night, somewhat like a tiger with indigestion. The State of New Hampshire seems to take Covid precautions very seriously, as does Marriott. Once rooms are sanitized staff affix a sticker bridging the door and the doorframe, so you are assured no one has been wheezing or sneezing in the room after cleaning. Marriott has nixed the complimentary coffee and pre-wrapped muffin as a precaution. But the food coop behind the Marriott has good coffee, great pastry and doesn’t seem overcautious in letting you get them. Overall, a great location, very decent rooms and serious (maybe over serious?) attention to Covid precautions.

Outdated and overpriced. No amenities to speak of, no microwave in your room, no housekeeping unless you request it, no access to the pool unless you go to the front desk to ask for permission and they have to let you in, no continental breakfast, BUT they do give you a cookie upon check-in. By far one of the worst hotel experiences I've encountered. Hotel was booked with multiple youth organizations that were totally out of control, running, screaming, kicking walls, f-bombs, scratching their names into the metal doors of the elevator, etc. when I called the front desk to complain they told me it was happening all over the hotel and there wasn't much they could do. Guests no associated with these organizations had no use of the pool since there were no less than 25 kids in the pool on both nights we were there. When I complained to the general manager the next day, the front desk responded that they would discount my room by half and that if I wanted to leave it would be okay. Since there are no other hotels in the immediate area and I was there for family medical reasons I had no choice but to stay. Disappointed that the general manager didn't have the courtesy of responding to us and that they allowed this to continue for two nights.
