Awesome place to stay close to everything
My stay was awesome everything was fantastic,the rooms were spotless and the price was fantastic
The room was very clean and it looked like the bathroom had revent upgrades. There was ample parking and the location was close to dining options. The beds were a bit uncomfortable to me however, I'd definitely stay at this property again.
Chris was in the office when we checked in, and she was a breath of fresh air after a long tiring trip. Efficient, accommodating and genuinely friendly.
Everything about the newly renovated motel seemed nice. Clean rooms, comfortable bed, nice bathrooms, coffee maker and seemed quiet in the room.
That is until the heat kicked on from the wall unit. It was a freight train and would only go off and on. It wouldn't take being set on low and have the fan run. It would be off and quiet than roar on. I got about 2 hours of sleep each night there.
Once they replace all the wall units, it might be nice.
Downtown Dover Inn is in the center of the town, so close to everything and the staff is excellent and very knowledgeable about the city and the surrounding areas.
Came for the UNH Graduation weekend. We enjoyed our stay and got everything we requested in a timely manner, in addition to the staff being very kind. Our only complaint was no option to get rooms cleaned in between days of our stay. Other than that, it was great!
I am the costumer for a theater group and when we preform at the The Strand it is so convenient to stay at the Downtown Dover Inn. I can walk over to the theater and then don’t have to drive home late at night.
Their rates are reasonable and since the hotel was remodeled it is so nice to stay there.
The only issue I have is that the tub is slick so you have to be careful getting in and out. Beds super comfortable. So glad to be able to stay at this property again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I want to say I would stay here again. There were several things that need to be addressed. They just opened two days ago after a renovation. That being said the door to get in the room stuck, the lock
To the bathroom door was on backwards, the furniture was scratched, leftover food in fridge, when they painted they did not make any repairs so you can see where all the defects are. The room was clean, the staff was friendly, but the pool was freezing and parts were missing. Hopefully they will be addressing these issues.
We actually ended up not staying at this place. The only reason I didn’t give 1 star across the board was that the front desk person did check with her manager and was able to refund us for not staying. (There is still a hold on my debit card that I’m hopinggoes away , if not I will be in contact with them.
Our room had visible dust from the door, stains on the headboard, the carpet was stained, the bathroom floor was tacky. This previously was a days inn that is known in the area for not attracting a good crowd. We parked our vehicle in the parking lot to get out and see broken vehicle glass all over. I was given the option of another room, which I looked at and it was slightly better but not enough to want to stay. We were told that “if you leave now, we’ll refund your stay” - we couldn’t leave fast enough
