10/10 Excellent
"Our suite had everything we needed, and its location was perfect. It's within three blocks of where the Thoreau Annual Gathering was meeting and within about four clocks of downtown Concord's restaurants, coffee shops, book store, clothing and other retail stores, and the historic Old Hill Burying Ground. Our suite was clean, well-kept, and well-supplied, and our host checked on us both when we arrived and during our four-day stay to see if we had everything we needed. She responded promptly to my questions. We plan to return for our next visit to Concord."

8/10 Good
"The mini fridge wasn’t deep cleaned and the room could use an airing out between guests. There’s a bit of a musty smell. All the bedroom & bathroom windows open and, once aired, the smell goes away. But the bedrooms & bathroom were very clean. Beautiful bedding, drapery, & furniture. The largest 2-room suite I’ve seen. A entrance/sitting room with desk & end chair. Small bedroom with a twin bed, main bedroom was spacious and an efficiency kitchen complete with small stove, full sized microwave, mini fridge with freezer, kitchen sink with counters/cabinets/bar seating. Bathroom is off the kitchen and not connected to either bedroom which is a nice feature when traveling with family. Staff were very friendly, Hot breakfast with fruit, & pastries served until 9:30am. Only 2 short blocks to the Main Street shopping district. Would certainly stay again if we returned to Concord."
