“The Exeter Inn presents a historic New England facade, ideally situated for easy exploration of Exeter town and conveniently walkable from the Amtrak station. While my room was on the smaller side, it was clean, and the complimentary Wi-Fi proved quite useful; the hotel's quiet ambiance and proximity to local attractions make it a solid choice for a brief visit.”
