Best Western Hotel Merrimack Valley, Haverhill

What a dump of a construction site This must be one of the worst it's not worth the 134 per night fee please don't believe the photos nothing like it run down bedroom door you have to slam to close, bathroom door was damaged from water oh and what's funny they close the curtains so you don't have to look at the construction behind and the windows don't even close. They advertise full breakfast you get a few dry things in the lobby to go. Strongly recommend avoiding this place.

The bed is comfortable including the pillows and the shower was perfect. All of the staff I encountered were courteous and smiling. This was my first stay at this Best Western, which is located right by a CVS. I will be back.

70's vintage room. Pervasive pet odor in carpet. Clanking, roaring window mounted A/C. Chincy 'grab and go' breakfast. Pool and exercise room closed. Significant traffic noise. Few restaurant options nearby. Give this BW a miss!

Worst motel experience ever - dirty room - dark, bad location , rooms not updated in many years- The staff was nice and welcoming, but all else was miserable - Everything looked way outdated, and old. The price was way too high

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am very sorry for your stay not meeting standards. We are currently going through a major renovation and will be updating everything. I hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Extremely dirty hotel. Staff was not helpful. Area did not seem very safe. There were very loud people in the parking lot and in the hotel lobby. The room smelled and the condition of the room was terrible. RUN RUN from this hotel

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies for a stay that did not reach potential. I hope that you can come visit us again once the hotel is renovated.

Our room had a used pregnancy test in the bathroom. Smelled of urine and had ants in the beds. We let the front desk know and we were told there was nothing they can do about the room. And that they had no there rooms availible.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Coach, Please accept my apologies for the missed items while cleaning the room that you had stayed in. I can understand why that would make your stay unenjoyable. I'm very sorry that we were not able to fix the issue at the desk. I hope you can give us a second chance in the future.

So I reserved a pet friendly room, my only choice was 2 queen beds which was fine. When we got there to check in they stated we chose the pet friendly room but didn't call to identify we werrle bringing a dog so we were not given a pet friendly room. They were able to move us, but this room only had one queen bed. There was also some things still in the room from the last guest including plastic lids from perfume bottles, and aluminum foil. The breakfast is pretty terrible, states there is breakfast sandwiches, but all they had was dairy products and waffles that had so much sugar they were crunchy. On the website it also states there is a pool, well got there and they stated the pool is still closed due to covid, thanks for the heads up. We had a dog with us, we had to sign a waiver (thats fine) that stated (desk guy said this as well) we had to take her out through D door. Well to get to D door we had to go through a construction zone that was off limits. The price of the hotel reflects the quality of the hotel.

This was my first and last time visiting this hotel. My reservation did not last 24 hours. I arrived at the hotel in the late evening and was told that I was getting a deal on the last two rooms available. I was offered a significant discount for a three night stay. When I entered the building to get to my guest room I took a set of stairs to a lower level floor. There were adults hanging out in the hallway and teens running up and down the hallway. There was a significant amount noise and odor coming from guest rooms into the hallway. We entered our guest room and were greeted by a large white stain on the carpet. We quickly put our belongings down and left the room to gather with relatives in the area. When we returned a few hours later. I noticed more areas of the room with a white powdery substance on the floor. The headboard and electrical sockets were dusty. The wallpaper was bubbling. We tried to turn on the HVAC unit and it did not work. One of the lamps at the head of the bed was missing a light bulb. I was not happy with the room but attempted to stay one night and deal with issues in the morning since it was late. I went to the bathroom and saw what appeared to be a smear of blood on the wall and hair in the shower. The last straw was when I went to the use the toilet and discovered that the toilet had not been flushed and there was human waste with toilet paper inside the toilet bowl. I reported all of this to the hotel staff and they assured me that the room had been clean. They also said we needed to unplug and then plug the HVAC unit back in and hit the reset button to turn it on. I was asked how I was supposed to know that and why it was something that I had to inquire about. I showed the pictures I had taken and they said the white powdery substance was cleaning product. Hotel staff initially refused to let me out of my reservation since I checked in and had “occupied” the room for a few hours. When I pointed out the hotel commitment to keeping guest and employees safe and the alarming contradiction my reservation was finally cancelled and I was refunded all charges held on my card. I checked out of this hotel after 1 am highly disappointed and frustrated. The front desk staff were helpful but made many excuses for what I had shown them in pictures.

This place might rate as an Econlodge at best. It is in poor shape. Bed hard, pillows poor, towels small and thin and furniture should be in a second hand store. As a diamond member having stayed in over 150 BW around the world, this place gets my lowest rating!!!

Room was missing a chair where there should be 2. Chair on other table was broken, and light bulb missing from one of the lamps in the room. Room could of been cleaner for a new guest, and more towels and bathroom toilet paper was needed.

My wife and I chose this because of the great location. Unfortunately, It seems to cater to folks who are up all night with loud cars out in the parking lot running all night. So..if you can fall asleep, you will be awaked by a howling dog about 4 am. We were so disappointed. We ended up leaving and going to the Hampton Inn. So much quieter and cleaner. The best western had a nasty smell in the lobby and rooms. The towels are mangy and smell. The first thing we noticed at the Hampton innwas the pludh tpwels and clean scent. We wont go back to this bw.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Bob, Please accept my deepest apologies. I can understand how frustrated it can be to be woken up during sleep. We hope that you can give us another chance in the future. Thank you for your feedback. Michelle

I stayed for a week or two just recently, the front desk lady I believe her name was Tiffany was absolutely rude and degrading. I'd go up their to get coffee or talk to others in the lobby and this employee was always talking awful about other guest. Saying things that should not have been said in front of other guest. I will NEVER stay here again because of her. As well as the young girl at night. Just last night she was hanging out with the other girl from up front Tiffany being rude to other guest making fun of them swearing while there was small children up there. This shouldn't be tolerated. I asked for manager and she said we can't help you. I don't get how this is okay!!

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, please accept my apologies on behalf of our staff. This is unacceptable behavior and I have spoken to both employees. Please know that this is not normal behavior, and we are grateful for your business. If you want to reach out to me directly to discuss further, please call the hotel and ask for me. Again, I am very sorry. Michelle

The hotel is rundown. It appears that some people are living there long or short term. Small lobby with limited and bland breakfast items. Pet friendly rooms are dingy. Carpet is dirty and smelly. No elevator. Pet friendly rooms are all down stairs. The window overlooks an overgrown center courtyard. Quite unpleasant.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Our apologies. The courtyard that is overlooked is where our construction is happening. I apologize it does not look very appealing now, but please know that we are working on a major renovation now. we hope that you will give us another chance in the future.

We booked this hotel as a stop over on a 10 hour drive. The pictures online seem nice enough. Our first concern was seeing guests/residents/people sitting in lawn chairs in the parking lot. But we went to check in. Bad idea. The room we were given was NOTHING like the photos. It was in the basement, the light did not work, the wallpaper was water damaged and stained, and the room smelled strongly or urine. I didn't even look at the beds or bathroom because we walked right out and back to the front desk. They did not give us any trouble about refunding the stay which was appreciated. There is a Hampton Inn across the street which was about $100 more when we called from the parking lot but was more than worth it.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies. The guest hanging out in the parking lot has been addressed and we appreciate your feedback about this. Also, we want you to know that we are currently doing a remodel and will be completely redoing all rooms. We hope that you can come back in the future and give us another chance. Thank you, Michelle

Our room smelled so badly and the carpet was wet. there were bugs that I killed; they told me there were no face cloths, promised to bring towels to my room and never did. I called to complain to Best Western and they basically said I had to talk to the local hotel which I did. they did not care.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept my apologies. I know I spoke to you yesterday and I did help resolve your concerns. However, I am sorry that it took you to speak to me directly to feel satisfied. I certainly take your feedback seriously and have made changes since we talked to better our staff and hotel going forward. Thank you again for reaching out to me and my apologies for the trouble during your stay.

The lobby and the front desk attendant were very nice. The hotel is not handicap accessible and has no elevator. Even access to the first floor requires the use of stairs. Hallways and rooms smelled and carpet was very old. The wall paper was peeling off and bubbled up in areas and the baseboards were very dusty. People (residents?) in parking lot smoking (cigs & weed) and drinking when we arrived. Beds were clean and so was the bathroom but we just couldn't stay there. Thankfully a call to the Best Western 800# got us moved about 20 minutes up the road to a Best Western Plus in Danvers MA. If staying in this area, book the hotel in Danvers not Haverhill.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello vacationer! Please accept our apologies for the look of the room. We are currently under construction and will be building a brand new building behind our front building. I am sorry that you had to leave but hope that you do give us another chance once we are rebuilt. Again we are very sorry!

Having traveled many times for work I have encountered many guest services representatives but none as efficient & knowledgeable as Chris. He was very clear in explaining what I could expect from my visit, even as far as the most convenient place for me to park, along with all the different restaurants in the area. I felt very comfortable with my stay thanks to him.

The hotel website photos are nothing what the hotel actually looks like. The hotel smells like cigarettes and has a misty smell. Not worth the money!!! We were supposed to stay for 2 night and stayed for one that's how bad the smell of the hotel is!

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am very sorry that you did not finish out your stay with us. We appreciate you giving us your feedback about your stay. This will give us a chance to correct the problems that you had. We want you to know that we are currently going through a major renovation and will be redoing the entire building. I hope that you will give us a chance again in the future to make things up to you.

Excellent customer service everyone I have come in contact with especially Jared and Chris they are who I have dealt with the most and they are nothing short of awesome! The house keepers are friendly there maintenance man Roberto is extremely friendly and never short of a smile! IF people interaction comfortable beds and convienece of stores this is the place to be!

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you so much for your review and your stay at the Best Western Merrimack Valley. I appreciate your feedback about our excellent customer service! I will make sure to share your comments with our staff. I hope we see you again soon.

I booked two rooms, one being “pet friendly” for me and 2 dogs. I have always had good luck at BWs but this one… no. I don't know how the upper level rooms were, but they put us on the lower level. The hall was okay but the rooms were not what I expected. Some of the features… The wallpaper was buckled, dirty and dingy. The dirty windows looked out on a pile of rubble and a stalled constuction site (it looks like they were trying to do a major renovation and ran out of money ). The window crank in both rooms were broken. The light by the bed was broken… it literally swung down and hung upside down, and the handle of the Faucet was held on by a rusty bolt, I wiped down some of the surfaces because of finger prints all over the frig and sticky stuff on the dresser. I called the desk and asked it the room was in such bad shape as it was a “pet friendly” room? His response was “pet friendly rooms are special”. However, my friends non-pet room is only marginally better. The good news was that the beds were comfortable, the sheets are clean, no bugs. After 10 hours of driving we put up with it. Would not recommend.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Valerie, Thank you for you stay and leaving your feedback. I am sorry that you had such a bad experience with your room. We are currently undergoing a major construction project to rebuild the hotel and with Covid getting supplies has been delayed. I ensure you it is still happening. I hope that you will give us another chance in the future. Thank you,

The front desk staff was very helpful in our situation. Chris went above and beyond for all our needs. He is an asset to the hotel, very attentive in every form. The other staff that I found very helpful was Taylor, Michelle B. Jared and Roberto. This has been a very pleasant stay.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you kindly for your positive feedback. We are very pleased you had such a pleasant stay. We hope that you come back and visit again soon.

The hotel looks like it was an old Howard Johnsons. It is not of the caliber I have come to expect of Best Western. The room had a closed -up smell, not totally musty but not fresh. The carpeting from the room into the tiled bathroom floor had a huge long pull in it that was left hanging. The shower had a board coming through the ceiling. It was definitely not worth the price.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies. We appreciate your feedback and will address the issues listed. We hope that you come back again to give us another chance.

I was contacted by the property and they rebooked me. They booked me the wrong room and was given 1 small bed for my adult son and myself. The smell of cigarette smoke was choking. We both had coughing and breathing problems throughout the night. The air conditioning unit was so loud we couldn't sleep with it on.we tried to go out on the small balcony but it was so dirty, we couldn't. Josh who was working that night was so kind and found me a roll away bed. I can't thank him enough!

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Renee, Please accept my deepest apologies for the trouble with the reservation. I'm glad that the night employee was able to accommodate you with the extra bed and blankets. I hope that you are able to give us another chance in the future to make it up to you. Thank you, Michelle

This was knot a good stay but we suffered through it. WILL not make that mistake again. I found a Hampton Inn near buy and will use it the next time I'm there. Never had a room service provided in 5 days, not wash clothes, (had to buy some at Walmart), Sower smells in the room (so Walmart air freshener also), pool closed, restaurant closed for renovations etc.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am so very sorry. We are still not back to a full room service schedule due to Covid as we take everyone's health very seriously. Please accept our apologies for the amenities being closed for renovations. Hopefully after we have completed you will come back and enjoy! Thank you,

My husband and I stayed at the Haverhill, MA Best Western over Memorial Day Weekend (5/28 - 5/30). This place was filthy, the lobby looks dingy and dirty. The entry door was in need of a complete scrub down. The hallways smelled musty and old. The room was filthy. I have pictures of many problems - holes in the curtains, cobwebs complete with spiders!, patched walls, stained bedspreads, filthy plug ins, inoperable outlet in bathroom, hairdryer looked like it had been on fire. rusty ceiling fixtures in bathroom, mold on door frame, weird plumbing repairs to showerhead, stained bathtub and sink. everything was very worn and out dated. This coupled with some very strange characters hanging around smoking and drinking by the entrance was just over the top. I can't say enough how unsafe and unprotected I felt at this establishment. I contacted the management immediately and asked them to please go and check the condition of the room themselves. I also asked for at least half my money that was wasted on this room. I go the same response as everyone else that the motel is being renovated and COVID had brought that to a stop. It wouldn't take much to clean the room and wash some windows to help pretty the place up. The manager gave me 50.00 back for my trouble (we paid over 300 to stay in this dump!) Traveler's beware, travel a few more miles and stay at a safe place.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Again, please accept my apologies for your undesirable room. This is out of the ordinary and I deeply apologize.

I stay there every month for work , when I arrive the staff remember my name and greet me warmly, Check in is quick and smooth ,and being checked out in the morning by Jared is quite enjoyable ,great sense of humor at 6am. See you guys next Month

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you very much for staying with us each month. We always look forward to your arrival. I am pleased you enjoy coffee and conversations with Jared upon your departure. We have such a great staff here and such great guests! See you next month.

This place was awesome everyone at the front desk was helpful I came in late around 2:00am and Jared the Night auditor was Nice well mannered, helped me with my luggage to the room and the morning staff were very friendly Taylor was very nice gave me a receipt of my stay and definitely will be coming back!!

We appreciate you staying at Best Western Merrimack Valley and taking the time to leave your review. I am very pleased to read that our well mannered and friendly staff was able to assist you. We are all looking forward to you coming back again to stay!

The rooms are clean, comfortable - and the staff are all excellent. Notable standouts are Chris, Sam, & Jared . Their friendly ,knowledgeable, hospitality based service is on such a level that it buoys my spirits regularly.

Thank you very much for staying at Best Western Merrimack Valley and sharing your positive feedback. We look forward to your next visit to our area. Thank you again. Michelle

Overly worn hotel. No heat in the middle of the night. One towel for 2 guests - as 2 beds suggests. Run down condition. Could smell smoke in hallways. One towel set for 2 of us. Tried to acquire additional towels, etc., but had to wait until next day!

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Pleaser accept our apologies for providing a stay that was not up to expectations. We want you to know that we are currently going through a renovation and are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We would like for you to come back and give us another chance to provide outstanding experience.

I wouldn't stay at this location again. The room was filthy and run down. The carpet was stained, wall paper along the ceiling was peeling, and the furniture was dated and in poor condition. The bed had a king size fitted sheet on a queen size bed. The bath towels are half size and non absorbent. The to-go breakfast was awful. I probably will never book a Best Western again

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies.

We stayed here in October 2020 on our way to Maine. We we arrived i knew we had made a mistake in booking here. It is run down and looks nothing like the pictures. The front desk was wearing a mask but non of the guests were. Wearing masks is not enforced. When we got into our room, we seriously considered leaving and cutting our loses. I have never had to do that before. The light in our bathroom did not work. We called the front desk and they did send a maintenance guy to change the light. The shower was leaky. There were stains all over the carpet. The hotel is disgusting. I doubt they were cleaning and sanitizing it to CDC standards. Do not stay here.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Please accept my deepest apologies for your unhappy stay. We strive to make our guests feel confident in our procedures to follow all CDC guidelines. Please know that we do and I am sorry you did not feel this during your stay. I hope that in the future you can give us another chance. Thank you, Michelle

ok for 3 smaller dogs, quiet at night so dogs did not bark, saw other dogs and heard no barking. Room close to stairs and exit doors. Water hot, but means unlimited hot showers. Due to Covid, breakfast and pool closed but had breakfast to go bags each morning. I give the towels and blanket a 1 of 5 rating- super thin + small. Room came ready with one towel for 4 people. I guess they prefer people to come and request if they want more. Set up with toiletries as corporate standard. Front rooms are older- win screens not fitted, outlet plate cracked, older flooring, ac/heater vent not clean. Room for renovation improvements. Construction going on in back. Average stay with dogs.

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying at our pet friendly hotel with your dogs. I want you to know that as you could see during your visit we are undergoing a major renovation. Your room issues with flooring and ventilation will all be addressed during this renovation. I also, want to apologize for the lack of luster in the sheets and towels. With covid we are having issues with back order and hope to have this fixed very soon. Thank you again for your stay and your feedback. We hope to see you again soon.

From the minute I walked into this place I was not happy. Theres a tiny lobby with a whiteboard that said "POOL CLOSED". We were supposed to have our room at Noon and got told to come back in 3 hours so they can clean my room. When we did come back we open our door to our room to a dirty plastic fork and a bandaid wrapper on the floor . It just kept getting worse. From there we notice hair on the pillows, and only 1 towel and 1 wash cloth for 4 of us. The gym is in the pool area so we were unable to go to the gym, they offered us, either. I also felt like I had walked I to an old dingy room. If I hadn't already paid and needed the 1 night stay somewhere for the 4th of July ...WE WOULD NOT HAVE STAYED!! VERY DISAPPOINTED

Michelle Bechard, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us and I appreciate your feedback about your stay. Please accept our apologies for not meeting our standards in cleanliness. This is certainly not a pleasant stay and I am very sorry for that. I hope that you are able to give us another chance in the future.

I checked in online and said I needed to check in an hour early and they would not let me in before 3. The H2O was scalding, not good for kids. The remote was broken, no blankets on bed, No overnight cleaning and was not told about it. No clean towels for the next day, I asked for them and never got them. Bags breakfast was terrible.

Manager22031, General Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies. We will make sure to be better at letting our staff know that we have limited cleaning due to Covid. We appreciate your feedback and will use this to grow in the future.

My apartment house had a fire and I couldn't go back to there for months, so I stayed there and it was a good experience. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. They have a great breakfast with lots of choices.

Manager22031, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your feedback about your stay at Best Western Merrimack Valley. I am glad we were able to accommodate your needs while you needed to be out of your home. Thank you for the note about our free breakfast buffet. We try hard to provide a good spread of items to make sure everyone has something they like for breakfast.

Friendly and helpful people but the building is suffering from neglect since a new building is under construction. The heater/air conditioner failed so a portable heater had to be put in the room. The sink leaked so badly we had to put towels under itd to try to catch most of the water. This is a very convenient place to stay and we have been staying there for a number of years. We will return when the new building is completed.

Manager22031, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies for the troubles during your stay. We greatly appreciate your business and sorry that you had encountered this during your stay. We hope to see you again and look forward to our new building being opened.

Honestly wasnt very impressed with hotel pool was disgusting and so wasnt the hot tub. Nothing really was nice about this place other then location. The breakfast area was gross as well.wont be staying their again.

Manager22031, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies. We are currently under renovation and will be building a brand new pool and breakfast room. We hope that you come back to visit once complete.

We found the two night stay exceptional. The complementary breakfast was awesome. Hotel clean and room linen clean and crisp. Clean and quiet. Staff freindly and I was able to check in although I had the wrong date. Christian, judith and Pamela very pleasant and working to make our stay great

Thank you very much for choosing Best Western Merrimack Valley! We love that you had an exceptional stay. Thank you for the great comments about our staff and our quiet, clean rooms. We are very appreciative of you and hope you come back and visit again soon.

Not the greatest Best Western I've been too, but the hotel staff is the reason I'll always come back (Samuel, the night guy, is absolutely amazing and so helpful)! Rooms are decent, breakfast is great, and the location is perfect with all the shops around. Can't beat the prices either!

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your continued stays with us. We appreciate the lovely comments about our staff. We have a really great team here that we are very proud of. We hope to see you again soon.

The staff was nice ... the room was beyond out dated and just straight dirty. There is a sign stating updates are coming but I wont return until all the rooms are gutted and redone. Beds were ok for comfort but because the room was so gross I was uneasy about even sleeping there... if it wasnt so late when we checked in I would have gone elsewhere

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies. We are glad to hear that your staff interaction was good and that you will be visiting again once renovations done. Thank you, Michelle

i stay here at this very hotel once a week, and I'm always greeted by taylor or chris the moment i walk in. always clean rooms. honestly one of the best hotels i stay at when I'm on the road i wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you! We appreciate you coming back again each week. We look forward to seeing you again next week.

Shabby room with broken window and non working telephone. Rude management refused to compensate or switch to a like room on the ground floor that was confirmed upon reserving. I asked about a lower rate and was informed that there was one but because I had made the reservation directly with the hotel they would not accommodate me. On duty manager seemed like he wanted to pick a fight with me by challenging what I said. It was the General manager's day off and they would not let me talk to him. I talked with the corporate office and they tried to get the hotel to compensate me but the aforementioned manager on duty flatly refused. Stay far far away from this place!!

Hello Rodger, Please accept our apologies for an unpleasant stay. I know our staff addressed the issues directly with you, as well as, with Best Western. We are sorry your stay was not what expected. Best regards, DOS

Me and my wife have stayed at many hotels in various states and i have to admit this was by far the best hotel ive stayed at... Chris and Taylor have been very helpful with anythin we have needed... The rooms are clean spacious... All n all it has been a very pleasant stay... Also the grocery store directly across the street and the proximity to the highway has been a great convenience to us...

I have lodged in this hotel every week for the past 1 1/2 months stop. I found that the hotel is very clean and all the basic amenities were present. The stuff at the front desk of this hotel were very pleasant and they attended to my needs promptly. Specifically Chris, Pamela and Taylor were outstanding at the front desk. In conclusion, this is a great hotel and I will recommend it any day.

It was conveniently located to my daughter's house. We will definitely be staying here during subsequent visits.

This is one of the nicest hotel I've been too. The guest service agents, (Taylor and Chris) are so nice. They treat you like family. It's nice to come in and get treated with a smile and warm personality. They always make you feel welcome. If you're ever in the area I would recommend this hotel very highly.

Thank you very much for your recent stay at the Best Western Merrimack Valley in Haverhill. We are very pleased that you felt welcome and appreciate the recommendation. We hope to see you again soon.

unspeakable stay, the only reason i stayed was it was late at night and had no other options. The AC didn't work, room & AC smelled like stale urine, hair on the towels, carpet was sticky, bathroom dirty. I will avoid this hotel and possibly the chain in the future.

Please accept our apologies for an unpleasant stay. We want you to know we are listening to our guests and we have started a complete renovation of the property. We would love for you to come back once complete and give us another chance.

The place was okay, rooms were pretty basic, staff want too friendly or helpful. I would stay again for a single night stop to reat but would not stay here for multiple nights. They are building a new best western next door and appears they lost interest in the existing hotel. I will say the place was clean, though.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying at our hotel for a one night stop. We are currently under renovation and are building up on the building in the back. Please accept our apologies that you felt the front building has lost our interest. I assure you we are very interested in our current building and our guests. We are all very existing about the new building and hope you are about to come back again to enjoy too.

Only stayed one night for a wedding that I attended. I came back and every parking space was taken. I had to go through the parking area a couple of times before someone had left. I don't if this car that left belonged here as a room renter or that person was visiting. Doesn't matter. Parking should be reserved for people who have rented rooms. One good thing was that hotel staff responded to my complaint that there was a lot of noise going on or argument taking place in the hallway at 2 AM outside my door.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies about the limited parking. We want you to know that the parking will be addressed in our major renovation that has started. We will be adding more spaces. We hope you come back and give us another chance in the future.

This place smelled so bad. We were first given a room on the bottom floor and it smelled like a musty old basement. We asked for something higher up because our daughter has breathing problems and we knew this would set her asthma off. They kindly changed our room. It wasn't as bad but still awful...I'm sure the rooms were smoked in. We would have just left to find a new place to stay however we had to catch a train to the city for a Red Sox game and didn't get back until after midnight so we reluctantly laid our heads down for a few hours and got out as quickly as we could in the morning. The place was so dirty we wouldn't eat the breakfast. The elevator doesn't work, there were cobwebs, the mirrors were not cleaned, the laminate counters were bubbled and ‘fixed' with caulking, the floors were disgusting. I cannot believe Best Western would endorse their brand here...will make me reconsider another BW. We checked out after only 1 night of 4 we booked and went to the Hampton. Don't waste your money!!

Please accept our apologies. We just started a renovation and the rooms will be brand new when finished. We hope you will come back again then. Best Regards

This hotel has been nothing but poor quality and poor service. I booked a room as a bridesmaid for a wedding. I deeply regret that decision. First, the hotel did not inform the bride that there was a cutoff date for the room block. So when I called to book, I asked for a room near the bride. They said no problem. I was booked in a room on the complete opposite side of the hotel. Second, upon entering the room, it smelled awful, as if someone had been smoking or burnt something. Not only that, but the wallpaper is peeling off the walls in at least five places. It's absolutely disgusting and so shameful for a wedding party guest. I had booked two nights for the wedding but ended up canceling the second night because this place is certainly not worth the $315 for two nights. Gross. Never again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Please accept our apologies! We do communicate all cut off dates with room blocks to the person that books the room block. I am sorry that you were not aware and did not enjoy your stay with us. We want you to know that we are currently going through a renovation and hope that you can give us another chance in the future. Thank you, Michelle

I've stayed at multiple Best Western Hotels, most have been Plus but I needed one near a wedding venue I was attending. I used my points for this room. Apparently using points equals a horrible room. The room was dingy, dark and had a horrible odor. Wallpaper was peeling from the walls. The smell was a musty mix of urine and dirt. I immediately opened the windows and turned off the AC. I took my shoes off and sure did regret it, the carpet was sticky and felt moist. I told the front desk about the smell and was offered a different room. I declined because I was debating leaving. Since I just needed a place to sleep, I decided I could put up with everything. Later in the night, the TV stopped working, front desk said it was because of the rain. It eventually started working again. In the morning, I felt the need to check the filter on the AC, sure enough it had at least 2 inches of dirt/dust. Definitely hadn't been cleaned in months maybe years. This stay at Best Western will likely be my last.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am very sorry you had an unpleasant stay and I would like to apologize. We have started a renovation that will update the look and brighten up the rooms as well as the hotel. I did see your other review earlier today and had our maintenance staff fix the issues in your room immediately. We hope that you will give us another chance in the future to make your stay a better one. Best regards, Michelle

WHAT A DUMP!!! How are they allowed to maintain the Best Western name??? Smelled musty. No elevator, and when I told the registration clerk that I am a disabled veteran and asked for a ground floor room she shrugged her shoulders and told me it was just one flight of stairs so it wouldn't be too bad. The screen for the window was on the floor, leaning against the wall. The window was broken and I was not able to close it all the way or lock it!!! Unfortunately I didn't notice this until the next morning when I was preparing to leave!!! The bed-frame was broken / a bracket was sticking out that I smacked my shin on! There were cracks in the bathroom ceiling. Stairs and floor are painted the same color and stairwell is poorly lit making it difficult to judge the last few steps when schlepping bags up and down the stairs - especially while also trying to maintain your balance with a cane. Courtyard was in total disrepair, uncut lawns, broken glass, etc.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies. We have started a renovation and unfortunately the courtyard is being used for access for the construction which makes it look unkempt. We will be installing a brand new elevator in the upcoming renovation also. We have since fixed the window in the room you stayed in and appreciate you letting us know. Again we apologize for your unpleased stay and hope you are able to give us another chance in the future.

I have stayed at this location numerous times because the service is Exceptional. Bill the hotel manager does an Amazing job with his staff to give top notch service. Chris that works the front desk is always very helpful and knows the guests by their names and provides great customer service skills. I would recommend this hotel location for anyone traveling in the Merrimack valley! Another huge plus is it located right off 495 north and Hampton beach is only 20 minutes away.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you very much for your continued stays at Best Western Merrimack Valley. We appreciate you choosing our hotel and leaving your compliments on our hotel and service. We look forward to your next stay and will continue to strive for exceptional customer service! Thank you again.

Very relaxing. Restaurants are very close by. Convenient to highways.495, 93 and 213. Chris and others are very helpful and accommodating to needs of guests. Stay there very often and will continue to do so.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you very much for staying at the Best Western Merrimack Valley. We are very pleased to see our hotel is convenient and relaxing for you! We look forward to seeing you again.

I want to preface this by saying that every staff member I interacted with at this hotel was extremely pleasant and kind. I wish Best Western would fix this mess . I had limited options and was trying to get as close as possible to my friend's hometown for a memorial service, so this was a trip when I needed last-minute function and very little else. I should have read the reviews for this place more carefully. By the time my friend and I checked in, there was only one (reserved for handicapped guests, but hotel staff told me to take it) parking space left in the whole lot, kind of around a corner and down a hill from the main check-in area. It turned out this spot was close to our room, which was the highlight of the stay. I would not recommend parking in the far reaches of the parking lot if you have to then walk a ways to your room by yourself. It's probably fine, but not very well lit. The real issue was that as soon as we entered the hotel from the rear entrance, we were overwhelmed by a musty, smoky smell, which was also very strong in our room. The carpet felt damp, the bed seemed small, and the vanity was coming away from the bathroom wall. We decided the next morning to cancel our second night, and a very kind woman at the front desk allowed us to do so without charging us. The fact that one night at this Best Western (at least booked last-minute) cost $170 is BONKERS. We paid less on Hotel Tonight to book a room at a pristine La Quinta in Andover for our remaining night. The level of cleanliness at the Best Western was what I would expect from a $60 room. This place is gross. Try hard not to wind up here. Best Western, you hired nice people, but do better.

Please accept our apologies! We are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We want you to know that we have started a renovation and will be a brand new hotel when complete. We hope that you will give us another chance in the future.

the desk staff was very friendly and provided us with nice welcoming gifts. they also told us where we can find eateries and stores. very helpful in every way and will make it a point in stopping there next time through

Thank you kindly for your nice review. We appreciate you staying with us and pleased to see our staff at Best Western Merrimack Valley was very helpful! We hope to see you again. Best Regards, Michelle

Booked last minute and I was able to get a room.The staff were very accommodating, the hotel was clean, there were great breakfast choices and the kitchen area was clean. Easy on and off to the highway and ample parking.

Manager22031, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you so very much for choosing the Best Western Merrimack Valley for your last minute get away. We are pleased that you enjoyed the complimentary breakfast buffet and our clean rooms. We hope to see you again in the future. Best Regards, Michelle

Was put in building D - NOT a good looking building (they can at least clean up the countless cigarette butts in front of the door). The first room they put us in had a dirty bathroom floor (def was not swept and mopped) and black dirt in tub. A party with a dog must have been in the room before because it definitely smelled like a dog...I love dogs but don't want to sleep in a room that smells like a dog. Period. Second room was mildly better. For $138- $157 a night, it's a complete rip off. They really need to put some of that money into fixing the bathroom instead of doing a terrible job "painting" over the "marble" cracks. It needs a face lift and soon.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies. Thank you for your feedback. We would like you to know that we have a renovation starting now and will be gutting all the rooms and will have a brand new look. We hope you will give us another chance in the future. Best Regards, Michelle

The room was very comfortable and the staff was very professional and friendly. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. We stayed for 3 days when our home air conditioner died in the midst of extreme heat and were happy to stay in a cool environment.The breakfast was ok and had quite a few choices....bagels, muffins, pastry, eggs, bacon, oatmeal, yogurt etc...The only thing I would say is that the layout is a little maze like because it is an older facility and we had to do a lot of walking but it was no big deal. For the price, we would stay again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you very much for choosing Best Western Merrimack Valley for your home away from home for those 3 days. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to stay cool during that heat wave. Please let us know if we can help again.

Severely outdated facility overdue for a renovation. Countertop in bathroom was bubbling and peeling. Painted heavy caulking ring around top edge of bathroom sink. Pool water looked murky. Fitness room was closed for renovations. Hallway carpets were dingy, as was room wallpaper. In general, things were not really dirty, but not terribly cleaning. Facade in need of paint. View from room window overlooked an area with debris and lacking landscaping. Left room at 10 am and returned at 5 pm and room had not been cleaned, although the housekeeper we found in the hallway quickly made things right. Best Western has recently been one of my go to brands. Now, not so sure.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am sorry you were disappointed by your stay and hope you can give us another chance in the future. We have started a renovation and looks like you noticed the beginnings of this. The renovations will bring a brand new modern looking hotel.

Ok so I want to start this by saying Best Western please do not respond to this with your generic BS response that you've been giving everyone, all it will do it further piss me off. This is not a queen bed!!! We measured ok. We were traveling for business and the job took longer then expected so we obviously grabbed a hotel. I reserved a double room with 2 queen beds as we had 3 adults and a child. My daughter who is sitting on the bed is the smallest adult so we used her as to size reference of the beds. We went to the front desk to address the issue of them being full beds and were turned away and told " All our beds here are queen beds ". Um no it's not your ripping people off !!! I'm 6'1 and had to sit up to try to sleep. The hotel was hot, loud and smelly. Young children unattended in hallways late at night playing and tablets. Hotel was over run with very loud wild teenagers. This is not a play for business people or families. We tried to make the best out of a bad situation and went to enjoy the pool/ jacuzzi. We arrived to the pool area around 8pm and that was a dud as well. The jacuzzi was ice cold . Staff stated that the water had just been changed and it takes a few hours to heat. Huh??? Why would you change the water at 8pm rendering it useless when you close it at 10pm and could just do it then. Smh. At first the pool area was quiet but withing 10 minutes here came the huge mob if rowdy teens and its become a very uncomfortable situation for families to the point I just removed my grandson and went back to out room. Theres more I could add but I think this gets the point across. I will say that the overnight clerk at the front desk was amazing, very friendly, happy and helpful. ( I was in the lobby getting a coffee because obviously I wasnt getting sleep here) . Wish I had read all these reviews first. Not worth the $177 they charged me for the night. Please dont say your sorry because your not, dont say your fixing it because your not. I'm reading reviews here that date way back , same problems , different year!!! And definitely do not say please try us again in the future because ABSOLUTELY NEVER WILL I STEP FOOT IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN. Its a rip off we were given beds that fit toddlers and charged for 2 queens.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am very sorry you did not enjoy your stay and do apologize. We want all guests to be happy when they stay and looks like we did not make that happen for you. We appreciate you leaving your feedback and we will do what we can to make sure it does not happen for the next guest.

So we booked a double room with 2 queen beds. That is definitely NOT what we got. When we went to the desk to inquire and explain we had reservations for queen beds we were told " no sorry they are definitely queen size beds, all our beds are queen size." . So we go to the store to buy a measuring tape and measuring the bed its definitely full size. So they are charging for queen beds and you end up with a bed you cant sleep in. I'm 6'1 so I had to attempt to sleep sitting up . Over all the staff was great except for not fixing the bed size issue which was out biggest issue. I didn't like that small children were roaming the building or sitting outside thier rooms alone in the hall late at night making noise, playing on thier tablets ect . We tried to make the best of the situation and figured we would go relax in the jacuzzi and pool, nope that was a dud as well. We arrived to the jacuzzi / pool around 8pm and the jacuzzi was ice cold. Staff stated the water was just changed and it takes a few hours for the water to reheat. Huh ??? If you close the jacuzzi at 10pm then why would you change the water and render it useless at 8pm, wait till 10pm when its not being used anymore. Then 5 mins later the room where the pool/ jacuzzi was was overtaken by a huge crowd of teenagers being super loud making noise and it became a very uncomfortable environment for families and children so we removed our grandson from the area and decided to just call it a night and go back to the room shower and try to get some sleep in the toddler beds they passed off as queens. The room door was jamming so you needed to manhandle it to open it close it slamming the door real hard . I took my shower all was well until I went to blow dry my hair . The blow dryer was poorly attached and the entire component flew off the wall smashing to the floor. At this point I did my best to reattached it to the wall, laughed in disbelief and attempted to get sleep ( which out of 3 adults and 1 child the child is the only one who got a comfortable nights sleep ) . Morning did not come fast enough and we couldnt have been happier to check out. I do not reccomend this establishment to anyone traveling for work or families looking for peace and quiet. You will not get that here. It seemed more geared towards the younger crowd. Vans arriving dropping off or picking up large groups of teens/ early 20s. I will say over all the establishment did appear clean so I want to give a kudos to housekeeping!!

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept our apologies. We will certainly make sure to fix the hairdryer and bed situation for the next guest. I can imagine your frustration level with no sleep. The summer in our area attracts family's on vacation and as you realized some are not as quiet as we would hope. We do not encourage or allow children to be left alone or create excessive noise that disturbs others. Please do not hesitate to contact us during your stay to assist with any issues like this. We wish we could have helped more while you were here. We appreciate your feedback and will use to improve for the future.

Breakfast was good. Kids ran up and down the hallway in the evening as I tried sleeping. There were weeds around the building. Locating the ice machine and the breakfast room was difficult to find and the staff must do a better job telling where it is.

6/21/19. The hotel is outdated, our room smelt of old cigarettes, pool room was extremely hot, though the hot tub was cold. We had black mold in fan duct in the bathroom. Awful. Never staying there again.

I am very sorry your stay was unpleasant. Please accept our apologies. We hope that you are able to give us another chance in the future.

If I could give this hotel a 0 or negative rating, I would, and to put it bluntly, this place is a dump. I traveled solo here with my dogs and chose the hotel because it was supposedly pet friendly. I was charged a pet fee which is fine because it usually means that the rooms are cleaner and nicer. That was NOT the case with this hotel. The room was FILTHY- beyond disgusting. The room had a strong carpet powder smell. There were noticeable stains on the bed and the floors. There was hair on the sheets and all over the bathroom. Most of all, this place is absolutely not pet friendly. Our room was on the first floor which you have to use stairs to access. I have two senior dogs and had to carry both dogs up and down the stairs. There is no green area for the dogs. I did find an area that represented a green area in what you might see in a prison movie. The doors leading out this “green space” allowed no re-entry. There were cigarette butts all over the grounds, along with other trash that had not been picked up. Do yourself a favor and do not stay here.

Stopped over as part of a two day drive. The entrance is a bit tricky to find - then in at the CVS and immediately turn right. Ok, I was more than a bit tired... Room was quite large (had a room in the D building/conference center) with two queen beds. Bathroom was well equipped. Beds were less comfortable than I would have liked - a tad trampoline-ish but despite being next to 295 the room was quite quiet.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying at our hotel during your two day drive. We are glad you found us ok and enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again next time you are in the area.

Nice place. Pool felt like we were on vacation. Great little breakfast bar. Location was convenient off 495 and near downtown. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice to have the convenience of shopping and restaurants in the neighborhood. We usually stay at Best Westerns because the owners seem to care for their guests just a little more than other places. The Merrimack Valley did just that. They provided a comfortable place for our stay in Haverhill.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you very much for your kind words about your stay. We love seeing that your stay gave you the feeling that the owners cared. We are very proud of our hotel and happy to see that showed! Thank you again and come back soon.

We had stayed at this Best Western last year while travelling home from a south vacation Rooms were clean and fresh, staff that we had interaction with were very nice and professional. We just stayed the one night however we look for this place on our return trip as it is close to the highway, easy to get too and reasonably priced. The continental breakfast was great!

Hello, Thank you very much for staying at Best Western Merrimack Valley during your travel home. We greatly appreciate you staying with us and are pleased you enjoyed our free hot breakfast. We hope to see you again on your next trip. Best regards, Michelle

We stayed one night to dodge the recent snowstorm... the hotel is great... close to decent restaurants and very close to I-495. The breakfast is very good. Rooms are nice and spacious. Free WiFi. Front desk folks were very helpful.

It was a spur of the moment plan. I was greeted my 2 very professional employees in the lobby, that were very pleasant and assisted me with my check in. My check in was followed up with a phone call to my room asking how everything was and if I needed anything. They let me know they were available 24 hrs, if I needed anything.

We have stayed here several times on our way to Florida. We travel with pets and have found this a good pet-friendly hotel, as well as being close to the highway. Lots of opportunities for fuelling up and food options close by.

Needed to stop late night during travel from NH to NY. The pool and pool area were filthy. Your eyes burned just standing near the pool. Place was below average. Wouldn't stop again. It was close to McDonald's for coffee in the morning.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Dear Jeff J, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the issues with the pool. We have scheduled a deep cleaning of the pool area today and will make sure to pay close attention the chemicals. Also, just so you know we do test the chemicals at least twice a day to make sure they are aligned properly with the standards. Thank you again for your feedback and I hope you come back and give us another chance.

The Staff are really friendly, but the hotel inside looks more like from the 80‘s. The pool water was a little bit to cold. Breakfast was ok. The hotel is way to pricy compare how the room looks. On the weekends it's really loud

We have stayed at this motel several times in the past and our whole out of state family stayed here when my daughter was married in Aug of 2017. Friendly people, no problems but if you have issues with chlorine, stay away from the pool. VERY STRONG in smell outside of pool area.

Thank you for your continued stays at our hotel. We appreciate your business over the years and look forward to you and your family coming back again soon. Also, we appreciate your feedback on the pool. Thank you again!

We have stayed at many hotels on the east coast, from Maine to Florida and this hotel ranks our favourite for the price. The ladies at the front desk were the friendliest. They were beyond friendly-taking an interest in our lives. The dining room where the hot breakfast was served was luxurious. It was like walking into a fine dining room. The quality of the food was shocking. Everything was in hot chafing dishes and was not typical of other Best Western Hotels. The bacon was thick-not the thin precooked bacon that other hotels offer. The potatoes tasted like they were home cooked. Everything on the buffet was high quality. We could have dined all morning. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable with a welcome letter on the bed, written by the hotel manager. The rubber ducky on the bathtub was so cute and when we mentioned this to the gal on the front desk, she said go ahead and take it with you (we didn't-we left it for you). We definitely will be staying here next year on our way to Florida!

Hello, Thank you for the lovely review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay while away from home. WE try to make all our guests feel right at home while staying with us. We all look forward to your next stay on your way to Florida.

Very dated rooms, up keep not very good inside or outside, there was a musty smell especially on the second floor. The bedding was yellowed and carpeting worn, the walls were stained in spots and in need of both a good cleaning and fresh paint. The complimentary breakfast area was not well kept and had flies buzzing around the trash (which was always just about ready to overflow Menu items were not presented well and were not very appetizing- I stayed here for two weeks because everyone else was booked and after the second day I had seen enough in the breakfast area to not go back the rest of the time there. After the first night I ran to Walmart and bought a cheap sleeping bag and slept on that on top of the bed sheets. The pool water was cloudy and smelled very strongly of chemicals, the bathroom toilet seat was loose and you had to be careful when sitting on it and the bathroom floor was sticky when you walked on it ! Parking is terrible, some nights there was no room and I was told to park next door at the 24 hour CVS parking lot. My best advise is to avoid this hotel if at all possible.

Please accept my apologies on behalf of our entire team. We appreciate your feedback and we will continue to work hard to improve the property and the items mentioned above. We hope that you are able to give us another chance in the future.

I love this hotel. I always stay there. I live fifteen minutes from there but I like to treat myself to a little get a way every once in a while so I just call and may my resavation for a night or two.

Things are perfect, only wish you could get a discounted rate after 3 nights stay. I do believe that using reward points has changed. I think you could get a discounted room for 12,000 points. Also, should be able to stay three nights and receive a free night without using points.

Hello, Thank you for being a Best Western Rewards member and staying at our Best Western Merrimack Valley. We greatly appreciate your loyalty to the brand. As you know, Best Western is always coming out with new promotions. Maybe the next one will be stay x amount of nights and get one free. We will make sure to keep you posted. Thank you again.

The room we stayed in hadn't been updated in at least 20 years. It was dark and dingy .. we didn't want to walk on the carpet without shoes. There was extensive mold on the bathroom ceiling (see photo). The hotel was completely booked due to a gas leak in a nearby town, so it's possible there are newer, nicer rooms and they don't normally put guests in this room. I hope that's the case, but we will never stay here again.

Hello, I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay at our hotel. We have been busy, but that does not excuse us from providing clean and comfortable accomodations. Please accept my apologies from our entire staff. We will certialy take a closer look at our rooms and make sure this does not happen again. Best regards, Hotel Manager

As the title says it met my two desirables. We booked this room from "that" discount site so quite often you don't get a hotels best and brightest room. It had what we needed and the included breakfast worked just fine.

Thank you for staying with us and leaving your feedback. I am pleased we were able to provided you clean room with a good breakfast and great price. We hope you are able to come back again sometime soon.

After a long drive I was looking for a place to get a good night sleep, then resume my trek in the morning. I found Best Western in Haverhill via the internet while traveling (not driving) and head there. The night manager quoted a price $20 above the rate I found on the internet and would not budge "as he only had two rooms left". I had noticed another motel while exiting I-495 and headed over there. That rival place provided with a better room at a lower price then offered by Best Western Haverhill.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I am sorry you found the rate different than what was seen online. Sometimes its a different room type that could casue the difference. However, I am sorry you were unable to stay. Hopefully you come back in the future and give us another chance.

We stayed here 1 night to visit with friends. This entire place needs to be redone. It is supposed to be non-smoking but there was a cigarette butt in the elevator. Our first room reeked of smoke so badly we immediately asked to move. Our second room was a little better but I kept my shoes on rather than walk on the old carpet. The pool was cloudy, when my son accidentally dropped his glasses in the water, we couldn't see them. The hot tub was down for hours. Breakfast was adequate but the flow was choppy and the room was claustrophobic, especially after attendant locked the door prior to the time they were set to stop serving. The location is excellent, right off the highway and close to stores and restaurants. The housekeeping staff we encountered was friendly and kind, I cannot say the same for the front desk. After check-in when I requested a room change I was asked “did you touch anything?” At check out another guest wanted to talk to the clerk, we were then immediately rushed out of the checkout process, not asked how our stay was, and tossed a two granola bars from behind the counter “for the ride.” I completed the Best Western initiated survey after our unsatisfactory stay, as did our friends. We each got the same boilerplate apology response with no mention of upcoming renovations. This place does not feel family friendly. As a single parent I did not feel comfortable staying here with my children. My14 yr old summed up it up appropriately when he said “Mom, this place is sketchy”.

Hello Julianne, Please accept my apologies for our entire staff. Our hotel does have a renovation coming soon and it will address the building and the small breakfast area. I really hope you will be able to accept our apologies and come back again to give us a chance to make it up to you. Thank you for your feedback and we will be sharing this with our staff and management to make changes. Thanks again, Hotel Management

The pool was slimy, had chunks of hair floating around in it even though it had so much chlorine in it to make your eyes water. There was mold on the sides - gross! Our bathroom had a chunk of hair in the shower drain and was dirty. One of our rooms smelled of smoke so strongly it made I clothes sink afterward. The "residents" were up all night slamming doors and be loud enough to keep us awake. Between the lack of cleanliness, the low life "residents" and noise we will never stay here again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Kym, I am very sorry that you did not have a pleasant stay. Please accept my apologies from the entire staff. I have made notes of you issues and will be addressing them one by one to fix. Also, I am sorry we had some noisy guests during your stay. Please feel free to call the desk at any time if that happened again. We can send someone to address the noise immediately. I hope that you will be able to give us another chance in the future. Thank you agan for your stay and your feedback.

This appears to be an outdated motel structure in need of repair. The room we were given needed renovation and deep cleaning. When I turned on the AC, the room filled with an acrid odor which I took to be burning dust/electrical parts and something else. To their credit, the front desk staff was quick to move us to another room when I complained. While apparently more recently updated, the AC was loud and the whole room felt ‘musty'. The ceiling hard large brown streaks that I hoped were merely signs of a leaky old building. The bathroom at first glance seemed recently updated, but the ceiling fan had mold and dust piling up on it. The marble-tiled floor looked nice until I noticed some dark mottling on it. I rubbed that with the floor mat and it appeared to be black mold that easily rubbed of onto the mat. Bleach would go a long way here…. The pool was disgustingly milky and there is obvious mold around the lip and railings. When I asked the front desk folks, who were otherwise overall pleasant and accommodating, if they had seen the condition of the pool and water, they replied “Oh, that's handle by the maintenance guy.” I suspect they're used to complaints. The upholstered chairs in the room had many stains. I don't understand how any conscientious hospitality professional could allow guests to see this. I tend to judge a hotel by asking myself “would I let my mother stay here? Or my grandmother?” All I can say is: “Run, Gamma! Run !!” In fairness to the BW brand, we recently stayed at another BW elsewhere in the USA and were totally pleased, but the owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves.

Hello, Please accept my apologizes . This is not how we want to portray our hotel. We recently won an award for our outstanding cleanliness and want to maintain this. I will certainly look into the maintenance in the room and address personally. I want you to know that we have a renovation coming very soon and will update the hotel to a new modern vibe. I hope that you will be able to provide us with another chance to show we can shine. Thank you, DOS

This place is old, but clean. You can tell that it is need of remodeling. The staff that I encountered were very nice. The breakfast area was spacious and there was a great variety of items available including soy milk. I tried to use the pool, but it did not open until 8 AM. There is a CVS that is conveniently located near the hotel.

Hello, Thank you for staying with us. I am very pleased you enjoyed your stay and our friendly staff. We do have a remodel coming soon that will give us a new modern vibe. I hope you are able to come back and stay with us again. Thank you, DOS

Chose this hotel as in between 2 family events in local towns. The price was right for what we wanted. The staff was super helpful, gave us directions to local places and helped us print tickets on the free-to-use computer and printer. Breakfast was served in the am, a decent spread of dry cereals, make your own waffle (they even had toppings!), eggs, muffins, bagels, sausage and bacon. The room was clean enough, sheets were very white, bed was comfy and room included both a micro and fridge. Good selection of tv channels. As others have said, there is a movie theater next door, and a CVS, gas station and plaza across the street. Very built up area, so it seemed lively. Sad downfall- the pool. We were looking forward to the pool and hot tub after a long day. It was open until 10pm, and we got there about 9:15. The cement around the pool was still soaked, even though there was only 1 adult couple in the hot tub. However, the grossest part was the pool itself. The water was so thick with chlorine that you couldn't see your feet once you stepped in. I'm not kidding. There seemed to be a plethora of hair in and around the pool as well. Like seriously as if a dog show had been held there. I couldn't imagine how it was so. The pool had multiple long strands floating on the top of it too. We somehow made our way across it, but by then we were so grossed out that we walked right back to the stairs and left. It was so sad, since the rest of the hotel was ok. I'm hoping that maybe somehow the daytime pool check was missed? I've been in pools that have constant monitoring of chemical levels, and this one was certainly off. In fact, once my daughter took off her suit, she had many red splotches on her belly that did fade over the next day, but were obviously from the pool. Other than the pool, it was decent for the price and we would consider it again. I just am still blown away by that pool.

Hello, Thank you very much for staying with us. I am pleased that the rate, location and staff were just right for you. However, I deeply apologize about the pool quality. That does not sound appealing at all. Our staff does do daily monitoring of chemicals. We will be watching this much closer. I hope that you are able to give us another chance in the future and choose our hotel again.

Room was very clean and very centrally located. The purpose of our trip was to go to Hampton Beach which was only 30 minutes away...much cheaper than staying in Hampton ???? A good variety of food for breakfast. Would definitely come back.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your gfeedback and love that you enjoyed our free breakfast. We hope you can come back soon for a visit.

I view this brand as feisty, independent, wish properties had more local flavor and were designed to accommodate folks with limited mobility. When they are good, they are good. This one had no outlet for CPAP machine is a medical issue and I had to ask for an extension cord for mine. Long walk to steps to breakfast room: what, no elevator? Room over air-conditioned, waste of energy and $; halls tropically hot and humid. Tired generic decor, peeling wallpaper. Mattress was meh, not so comfortable. Service was friendly, breakfast ample and good with an open faced egg/cheese on English muffin option, tasty. Best reason to stay: 3 feet off route 495, and room was clean. Pool looked inviting but I was on deadline and could not take advantage of it.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, We greatly appreciate you staying with us and leaving your feedback. I know I wrote you an email earlier today, but did want to let you know that we have addressed the missing outlet situation and those should be in soon. Also, we do have a renovation that is upcoming that will address the layout all being in one building with an elevator. We hope you can give us another chance and come back and stay. Thank you, Director of Sales

hotel has lot of repair issues, however most of the staff is very nice, some never seem to be totally accommodating to requests.The location is perfect, with a market and restaurants and CVS near by.It seems that it is hit or miss as far as the room. Our last stay was so much better.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Carol, I am very sorry you did not enjoy this last stay. Please note that we do have a renovation coming soon and it will address the room issues you were having. We hope you are able to give us another chance to make your stay exceptional!

Very nice hotel and very easy to get to. Rooms are nice and beds are very comfortable. Small breakfast, but good. The hot tub is very-very hot, to hot to enjoy. Pool is nice temperature. A lot of restaurants and shops in the area.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for spending your vacation weekend with us. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and we made you feel comfortable. Thank you for the note about the hot tub, we will double check. We hope to see you again in the future.

I recently stayed 3 nights at this hotel as part of a business trip. My boss arranged for the room through his Air Miles program. Having stayed in literally more than a thousand rooms in my 30+ year business career this place would rank on the lower end of average. The place does look dated that is true, it seems they have made some attempts to modernize but done on the cheap. The bathroom counter seems to be a faux marble top but really is just wood, and when wood gets wet it expands, as seen in another review's pictures. That part did not bother me as much as the towels, each day the cleaning staff would remove more and more towels. I started with 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels and 2 face clothes and when I left I only had 1 face cloth and 2 bath towels. That I can say, I have never experienced in any other hotel. The breakfast was typical of many others with egg and meat selection choices, varying from day to day. Vegans may be challenged to get enough to eat though. The bed was comfortable enough and the internet worked well. Upon checkout the front desk staff tried to charge me again for the room that was already paid for through Air Miles, I showed the certificated and then after they made a few calls I was able to leave, not the smoothest checkout. I may not recommend this hotel, unless price was the only concern.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Good morning, I am very sorry that we only rated average on your standards. We realize we have an older building and we try very hard to provide exceptional cleanliness and service every day. We do have a full renovation coming up that will address the dated look. I hope you are able to give us another chance in the future and greatly appreciate your feedback. I will make sure to share with the staff and fix where we can. Thanks again!

Traveling with a group otherwise would not have stayed much past check in. Rooms had stale odor, pillows were awful, housekeeping did not provide enough towels, wallpaper was very old and peeling off the walls, common areas very dirty. Overall feel of the hotel was dirty and discomforting.

Hello, I am very sorry that your were not satisfied with our hotel. Please accept my apologies. We do have a renovation coming soon that will address the feel of the hotel to a modern feel. I hope that you are able to give us another chance in the future.

The pictures posted look nice. The ratings look good. Upon arrival the front of the building looks really nice and the lobby looks nice. Reception is nice. Check in goes smoothly. She nicely tells us she's putting us in one the really nice rooms in the back building which has been renovated and is a lot nicer than the building the reception is in. Just drive around to the back parking lot for the back building and enter door D. We drive around, like lambs to the slaughter. We find a dark parking lot by a movie theatre and a dank dark building with no windows. There's an empty whiskey bottle in the parking space next to our car. We think there's been some kind of mistake. My husband goes to investigate. I worry about his safety and mine. He comes back says he found door D. I go with him and we encounter a man in his undershirt smoking near door D. We open door D to find a hallway that is filthy. At one end around a corner it sounds like a party is going on. Thankfully our room is in the other direction. The elevator is as filthy as the hallway. Our room is of course not much better. I have posted pictures! I called them to complain and they asked if I wanted to leave. It's going on 10PM. I want to sleep. Then we discover the toilet won't flush and is threatening to over flow. I call the front desk and they say they'll send up a plunger. 20 minutes later a person arrives with a dirty plunger in a dirty bucket. She says “here's the plunger you requested”. She sits it down in the hallway and walks off! This place looks like a detention center from inside and the outside but I think a detention center is cleaner and has more windows and a safer parking lot! If they say just drive around to the back, either leave or ask for a room in the front building.

Please accept our apologies for not meeting your expectations for your stay. We greatly apologize and hope that you will give us another chance to make your next stay better. We have a renovation starting soon that will address the building concerns, but in the mean time we will take an extra look at the hallways and outside. Thank you for sharing your toughts about your stay and we hope to see you again.

This is our second year in a row I selected this hotel. These stays are used just to get a early start to our vacation on coastal Maine. First stay I would consider nearly average and thought I'd give it a 2nd chance this year. Front desk was quick and helpful. Now parking was ridiculous. First off, not nearly enough handicap parking anywhere at all. We used what they called the “A” side door. Minimal parking on the left side but did have 1 handicap space. My big concern was the truck that took up 3 plus spaces to my left. Didn't want my car backed into. Not the way I'd want to start a vacation. Hallways were filled with muggy humid hot air from the pool. Bedroom was very dark and dingy with one wall light not functioning at all and only one wash cloth was left for us to use. Nearly break your back trying to sit on very low toilet seat. We did have 4 half size pillows to use. Really? Come on. You should be doing better than that. We brought family members with use and are we were embarrassed for them to see and experience our choice and to experience the same complaints in their room. Needless to say, we will be visiting the only other hotel in town. For the price of a Big Mac more than what I paid at BW's price for the night, it would be worth paying for 2 Big Macs more to stay somewhere else. Sorry but I suggest staying somewhere else. FYI Room 237 June 28, 2018.

Hello, I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay this year. We wanted to let you know we have a renovation coming up soon and will be adding more parking spots along with décor updates. Until then we will make sure to monitor trucks parking, we do have truck parking across the road to make sure to free up parking on site. We really hope that you will give us another chance in the future and this did not ruin your experience for our hotel. Thank you for your feedback, Best Western Merrimack Valley

This hotel was really nice for the price we paid for 2 nights was a great little getaway for the family went swimming for two days at the pool and hot tub the kids loved it and breakfast was really good would recommend it

Hello, Thank you very much for staying with us. I am very glad to see you enjoyed our free breakfast and free use of the indoor pool and hot tub. we hope you and the kids come back again soon. Best regards, Manager of Best Western Merrimack Valley

I had a bad vibe about this place from the start. Dodgy characters lounging around midday, dark hot halls, dark room, and a vague look of neglect. My actual experience proved to be a bit better than the first impression. Everything was functional in the room and the service I received from the front desk was flawless and friendly. Still, I don't think I'd stay here again; there's a Hampton Inn across the street and I'd try that the next time.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I'm very sorry that you had a bad vibe during your stay. We appreciate your great comment about cleanliness, working amenities and wonderful staff. We are going to be starting a renovation soon that will address the hall ways and older décor. We hope you give us another chance to surpass your expectaions. Best regads,

Returning from work in Amherst, N.H.,we found this hard-to-find hotel. Second floor room (300,s) great slanted ceiling. Good WiFi, as you see. Tough traffic intersection, but be patient. Our last BW was the Royal Oak in Dorchester UK, so we are fans.

Hello, Thank you for your continued stays with Best Western and most of all thank you for choosing Best Western Merrimack Valley. We are pleased you enjoyed your open ceiling room at a great rate. We hope to see you again in the future. Best regards,

We were a group of more than 60 people and they treated us very well. The breakfast is great, delicious and varied. I would stay again. It has a Mall in front, a gas station and two pharmacies that was very useful for everyone.

Hello Eleanor, Thank you very much for your review. We were very pleased to host your group and happy that you all loved your stay! We hope you can come back again next year. Best regards, Michelle

Doors slamming all through the night. Out off towels both for room and frigid pool pool not unlocked two mornings in a row, and no evidence of water circulation. Coffee machine not in service in breakfast area, and customer broke keurig in lobby, which was not immediately replaced. Noise and partying in rooms with slamming doors unbearable Did take my dog and ample area for taking her out

Nancy, we're so sorry that your stay was not up to your standard. We do try very hard to make sure our guests have a pleasant time - and we clearly missed the mark during your stay. Your comments will be used to help train our staff to make sure the guest experience is improved. We appreciate the feedback, and hope that you will come back to visit us again once our renovations are complete at the end of this year. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Worst Best Western my wife & I ever stayed in. The hotel needs an update-room was very small and reeked of cigarettes. We wanted to use the pool in the evening but noticed the water was not being circulated/filtered; the desk clerk said she knows nothing about that as she was new. Noticed that some sketchy people were staying there and dope was being smoked out in view on the hotel side. The AC in the wall kept going on and off all night making it difficult to sleep. Grounds keeping appeared non existent. On he plus side, breakfast was very good and the front desk personnel were very pleasant.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I am sorry you and your wife did not enjoy your stay. Please accept my apologies on behalf of the entire staff. You would be pleased to know that we do have a renovation coming by end of the year and it will address most of your concerns listed above. I hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Thank you for your stay at Best Western Merrimack Valley. We are very pleased you enjoyed your spacious room with a hot shower massage and our amazing staff. We hope to see you again soon.

This hotel was conveniently located near Haverhill where we had a wedding. The beds were very comfortable, the breakfast complete, and the location ideal. There was gas and a grocery store across the street. The highway was easy access. The pool looked nice, although we didn't get a chance to swim. I would stay here again.

Hello Janet, Thank you very much for choosing our hotel in Haverhill for your wedding rooms. We appreciate your business and are very glad you enjoyed your stay so much. We hope you come back again, maybe next time it will be for a baby shower! Thanks again.

Got a fairly decent rate and the location was convenient. Most things were fine for my stay ... except for a broken window (with a very noisy expressway out the back) and very tired breakfast items. Neighborhood was sketchy (and I could have used a little better advice from the front desk).

Dear Joooles_m, We're sorry you didn't have a great time with us! We try to make sure all of our guests leave happy, but clearly we missed the mark during your stay. Service and satisfaction are of the utmost importance to us, so we hope you'll be sure to come back and give us another try during your next trip to our neck of the woods!

We stayed here for one night recently and would stay again if we are in the area again. The checkin was pleasant and quick. The room while it could use some cosmetic fixes was perfectly fine and checked off all the boxes of what we would need. Beds were comfortable. Pool area was overrun by teenage boys at the time so didn't go in there. The breakfast was included and well worth it. Waffles, sausage, eggs, toast,bagels and pretty much all standard offerings. Checkout was a breeze.

Hello Kim, Thank you for choosing our hotel while in our area. We appreciate you staying with us and glad to hear your enjoyed your stay along with the plentiful complimentary breakfast. We hope to see you again next time you are in our area. Best regards,

The hotel room was very much in need of refurbishment. The wallpaper was peeling, the ceiling tiles chipped and dislodged. The bathroom counter was all chipped and peeling. The room had a mildew, pet odor to it. The door also rattled when people walked by. The hotel also allows pets, beware if you have allergies.

Best regards, Sales Manager

Despite having a great staff, I'm surprised this property is still in the Best Western franchise, as the building is so run down. Peeling paint and noisy hallways do not a pleasant stay make. The breakfast was great and the people serving went out of their way to make us happy. I can't speak to the pool or exercise room, as we used neither.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Kenneth, Thank you for staying with us and leaving your comments about your stay. I am very sorry you did not have a pleasant stay due to noisy hallways and peeling paint. We will certainly be more vigilant on making sure guest keep noise down in hallways and we will be repainting soon. Thanks again and we hope to see you again. Best Regards, Director of Sales

The first floor is actually the basement. What this breaks down to is several hallways that reek of cigarette and marijuana. Now if I were still in college, this wouldn't have bothered me as much. However, we were traveling with a six year old. First we went on a long walk down several hallways— okay. Then we get to our room, the key doesn't work and a dog starts barking. After re-checking our paper key envelope that read “153” and a quick phone call, we arrived at our correct room. So far it is decent. The sheets are clean. However, it does not have a balcony/patio as requested. I really hope they actually change the sheets when we leave because I was just in the Bahamas, got burnt and now I'm peeling like a chameleon. As I have been in my room approximately 35 minutes, this review may be subject to change.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for your stay and your review. I hope once you got settled into your clean room with the nice crisp clean sheets that your review changed a bit. However, I am terribly sorry about not accommodating you with a balcony and the smell in the halls. We have very few balconies and they are only on the top floor. We hope that you will give us another change in the future.

This hotel is very large and sprawled out. We found it hard to get oriented. The pool and hot tub are open late and the area was clean. The hotel was full. The breakfast area was small for the number of people and it got pretty chaotic. Things ran out and were not replaced in a tmely manner. I think the hotel has expanded without expanding the common areas. We were tired when we arrived form NY. The desk clerk was outstanding, patient and informative. The check out clerk was also good. We were recognised as Reward members which was nice. The location is good for us as we return to Maine so we will probably stay here again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you so much for your stay on your return to Maine. We are glad to hear that you might stay here again on your next trip and we urge you to do so. We greatly apologize for the space issues and hotel layout, its something we are aware of and try to find ways to excel with customer service in hopes guests will overlook building layout. However, we do have a major renovation coming soon that will address layout and space issues. Thanks again for staying and we hope to see you again.

My two adult kids and I stayed here and were impressed with the Staff at this Best Western. They were very quick to provide us with the extra towels I requested even though I said no hurry. I would recommend this hotel to my friends.

Top-notch staff. Rooms exactly as pictured online with a sofa in the king bed room. Sheets are basic quality but there are plenty of pillows and a duvet cover. They offered several egg and meat choices at breakfast along with pancakes, cereals, fruit and yogurt. We'd definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay at our property. On behalf of our entire team, I would like to apologize for not exceeding your expectations. We greatly appreciate your detailed feedback. We are in the process of addressing most of the concerns you mentioned with a renovation coming this spring. Other feedback like fruit flies and room specific fixes were addressed, as soon as, we received the feedback. I hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with a superior experience.

We were going to stay 4 nights but only stayed one. We found another hotel nearby. While it was fairly clean as for the bathroom and carpet, the wall paper in our room was bubbling in numerous places and it was quite dank. There is likely an issue with excess moisture in the room-maybe due to the air Conditioner use over time and not enough dehumidification. The decor was dark and the room a bit out dated. For the price, we were able to stay in another location with a cleaner sharper feel and well kept. When owners take pride in their business, they will be even more successful with positive ratings which will improve their return on investment. We were happy with the front office ladies. They were very sweet even with our concerns.

Thank you for staying with us. We are very sorry that you felt the décor was outdated. We do have a renovation planned that will address this. We hope you are able to give us another chance in the future.

I loved this suite but it has some major problems. The rugs and upholstered furniture needed cleaning. With very little attention this could be wonderful. I'd love to stay again if some small changes were made.

Thank you for staying at Best Western Merrimack Valley in our upgraded suite. I am sorry you did not find it in mint condition and I will personally take a look and see what we can do to fix that. We hope that you come back again soon. Thanks again.

Tv did not work was blamed on the rain even though it was sunny out. Power went out and no back up lights in the halls only light sticks taped to the walls no hot water while the power was off. Would not suggest anyone stay here

I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. While you were here we had a major wind storm that took out the entire town and surrounding towns power. We did our best to manage the property with the city wide power outage. We hope that you will give us another chance in the future.

A local storm knocked out the power for a lot of the Boston area. In spite of this, the team at this hotel went the extra mile to do everything they could to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are very sorry that you got caught up in that wind storm while in the Boston area. We greatly appreciate your kind review about our team. We hope next time you are in our area, you don't have such crazy weather and come join us again.

This was an older Best Western. However, it was clean and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was also fairly priced. If you are looking for a moderately priced hotel with easy access to Haverhill and surrounding areas, this is a good choice. I stayed there with my aging parent and it was easy for her to get around. The one amenity we really used was the washer and dryer. It was inexpensive to wash and dry our clothes and there was no wait to do so.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you so much for your stay and your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed the amenities like free breakfast and laundry. We look forward to you coming back again.

I stayed there for my birthday and everything was great from check in to check out! I work for Best Western as well and I have to say Tyler and Iliana (front desk agents) were fantastic! I will be back!

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Happy Birthday. Thank you so much for celebrating at our hotel. We look forward to seeing you again on your next special occasion.

The staff was extremely friendly and gave service with a smile and the room was really nice with fridge. The bed was quite comfortable as well. The wireless internet was quite fast. The location was close enough for my business in Lawrence

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us while working in the Lawrence area. We are very pleased to read you enjoyed our service with a smile along with our spacious rooms. We hope to see you again next time you have business in Lawrence.

The rooms were clean and the staff was very accommodating to our large family. Breakfast was ok (rather boring and lacking flavor) the pancake maker was broken for the 2days were there . Despite these few issues the pool was excellent and guest services were top of the line. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonable room and great service.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying at Best Western, we appreciate your nice comments about the staff. Please accept our apologies for the pancake maker being down, we had a part break last minute and it was on back order. However, we now have an extra one on hand to prevent future outages. Thanks again and we hope to see you again at our hotel.

this is my second time here. actually looks a bit better. check in went quick. the layout can be a challenge for some and if way in the back its a hike to the front. we were more towards the front this time. the room was nice size and clean. can see wallpaper getting ready to peel up in spots. nothing major. was a big screen tv. a fair amount of stations.everyone seemed nice. they did service all rooms in my section both days. both days we stayed. hotel was pretty much full. heard a little hallway noise. no commotions, no kids running around. was pretty much quiet. grounds were clean. pool area was nice size. pool water seemed a little chilly. hot tub was nice. just steps in it are not even. have a grip on the railing. last step a doosey. NOTE# the traffic there at rush hour is heavy. if you come up 495 north. at end of ramp your suppose to go left, at rush hour. stay right. at light make a right into walgreens. make a u turn a go straight across light and hotel right there on the left.instead of getting aggravated in traffic.theres a few stores in area. 3 drugs stores and a convince store right by the hotel. within a 1/2 hour to the box stores and restaurants. as for prices we got a exceptional rate on a pkg. deal on an internet site. they have a CDL rate if you ask and have one.basically do your homework. overall was a nice stay. would stay there again.

Thank you for staying with us again. We appreciate your loyalty to our hotel. Also we would like to give you a big thank you for your detailed feedback, we will make sure to look into the items you mentioned. We hope that you are able to come back again on your next trip though our area.

Cost 144.77 with tax, should have been 44.00. Tiny room, like a motel on side of road! Dirty and super old!! No elevator!! Room was on third floor!! If traveling south go ten more miles and have your pick of lots of better places to stay!!! Barb H.

Thank you for leaving your feedback about your stay. I apologize you felt the room was small for the price paid. In the future, we do have larger rooms available (rooms with two queen beds) that are more spacious. Also, our D building has an elevator. I hope you are able to give us another chance in the future.

We stayed here for a weekend visiting friends the room was great very clean and fresh great housekeeping crew. Very friendly staff easy access from 495 shopping and restaurants near by had a wonderful weekend

Hello Paula, Thank you very much for choosing Best Western while visiting friends. We are pleased you enjoyed our spacious and clean rooms during your stay. We hope that you can come back again for another visit in the future. Best regards, DOS

My stay been pleasing. I felt as if I was at home( gym, pool, breakfast, etc.) I like to feel at home when I'm away from from home. Best Western in Haverhill made me feel at home a lot. thanks and I appreciate the services.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Wow, thank you for your review. This is exactly what we try to make our hotel feel like "a home away from home". Thank you so much for staying with us, we look forward to you coming back.

So we stayed here for a soccer tournament and paid way to much money for the quality of this hotel. Rooms were musty and moldy and dirty and outdated! The smell of marijuana was over whelming on the first floor. Don't waste your money

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Please accept my apologies. I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. We hope you are able to give us another chance in the future.

Take my advice and stay elsewhere. While the rooms are spacious, they smell of mold and mildew. This is just a rundown property. Breakfast was definitely not up to par with limited seating area. Don't bother stopping.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying and leaving your feedback about your stay. We Apologize that you found our property to be rundown. Please know that we do have a renovation coming up that will update the look of the property. We hope that you come back again to give us another chance.

As soon as I walked into the hall I could barely breathe for the musty smell. Our room was worse and it felt damp on the floor and bedding. I stuck a car air freshener in the a.c. vents hoping that would help and it did a little. Definitely won't stay here again if I can help it.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Please accept my apologies for the smell. We will certainly take a look at the area you stayed in and address this for the next guest. I hope that you are able to come back in the future. Best Regards, Director of Sales

This hotel has improved since my last stay there 2 years ago, understand it is under new management so I guess that is the difference. It is a good value for the money but could use some improvements, rooms need to be freshened up and updated. The breakfast room should be relocated, stairs involved to get there, no elevator available, laundry need to be available on every floor. Overall though ok hotel.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us again. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your feed back. We would like you to know that we do have a renovation pending that will update the look of the hotel as well as have an elevator to all rooms. We look forward to you coming back! Thanks again.

Hotel appeared somewhat dated. Service was very good and breakfast was very good. Distance to venue in Groveland was at times difficult due to construction and town fair. Enjoyed a side trip to other areas during our stet.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us while attending the Barnstormers concert in Groveland. We are glad you stayed with us at Best Western and had a chance to enjoy our hotel with free breakfast. We hope you get a chance to visit us again in the future.

Poor customer service and friendliness. All staff needs more training including management. All team members need to be trained on policy of this franchise to be able to promote, follow, and enforce them the same way every time and every one gives the same way every time.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am very sorry that you felt we had poor customer service skills. Our staff has all taken property requirements for the position. Please feel free to reach out to management direcly by calling the business number, if you would like to discuss the situation in more detail.

good rate, older decor could use an update..breakfast did not have a waffle machine like other BW's we have stayed at..was given a coupon for staying at best western before which was a plus..front desk people were very helpful about routes to and from destination..and for churches in the local area

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Robert, Thank you for staying at Best Western Merrimack Valley. Thank you for leaving your feedback about your stay. We switched to the pancake machine about a year ago, we were having trouble with guests not treating it properly. We find that people love the switch but still miss the waffles. We appreciate you staying and we hope to see you again in the future. Thank you, Michelle

Will not recommend - not clean - broken toilet with no help from hotel staff. Housekeeping quite poor room not cleaned fully. Billed for a free night with no response when i left a message to clear it up.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am sorry that you did not have a good stay and you had trouble with billing. Please feel free to reach out to our management staff directly if it was not fixed properly, so we can make sure that happens. Best regards, Michelle

We were not excited about the overall appearance of this hotel, it is way overdue for a cosmetic overhaul! However, the staff were fantastic and the location was great too. We also enjoyed our continental breakfast; it was more than we had expected. I would recommend this if you are looking for value.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us at the Best Western Merrimack Valley. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and found great value in our hotel. We hope you will come back and visit again.

This is our second time visiting this hotel in two years. It was the price and location that brought us here the first time and the amenities and staff gave us reason to come back the second time. The hotel decor is dated but it is due to have a renovation I am told. Breakfast is tasty and good choices, Internet works very well. Very close to things families like to do such as visit Canobie Lake Park, go to Hampton Beach or even take a trip into Boston. There is even a decent strip mall across the street.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you very much for coming back this year and trusting us enough to bring your family along. We appreciate you staying with us again and are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We hope that by your next summer stay our renovations will be completed! Please feel free to reach out to me directly next time you are in our area. Best regards, Michelle

Room is outdated...breakfast is average...beds are hard.....pillows are small...mold in bathroom...but location is good and staff are decent. Fine to just sleep and have breakfast and leave hotel for the day

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We would like to take a look at your room if you could reach out to us directly with the room number. We want to make sure to fix the bathroom issue prior to the next guests stay. Thank you again and please accept my apology from the entire staff about the bathroom. Best regards, Michelle

There seemed to be more welfare clients than travellers staying at the hotel. They filled the tiny breakfast room, so it was difficult to find a place to sit. They lounged at the motel entrances smoking. The clerk who checked me out was clueless and was unable to apply the discount I had received on email. There was a large courtyard, overgrown with weeds, where I became trapped because none of the many doors to it could be entered from the outside.

Manager22031, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I am very sorry you did not enjoy your stay at our hotel. We are not a welfare hotel and only accept paying customers with a valid license and credit card. Our courtyard does have a sign on each door stating that it is not an exit and the door will lock behind you, to prevent guests from going outside to the courtyard. This area is meant to look out at and keep the sound to the rooms quite and tranquil. We hope that you can give us another chance in the future to make your stay exceptional. Kind Regards, Sales Manager

Overall quality of breakfast foods was poor. Landscaping had a bit to be desired for the price of the rooms. Breakfast area was very tight for space. Although the rooms were ok, I feel that the price was a bit steep for what the hotel offered.

Manager22031, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your feedback on your stay. We are very sorry we did not meet expecations for the price paid. We hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Our bus tour spent one night here. The layout of the hotel is confusing at first but can be navigated after a bit of practice. Rooms were large with comfy beds, fresh sheets and soft towels. Breakfast was usual eggs, breads, cereals served with attentive staff member.

traveling up north and chose this hotel because of convenience and I wasn't willing to pay $250 per night because of it's the middle of summer. I chose something that I thought would be nice for the kids: indoor pool and free breakfast. as soon as I arrived my heart sank... the hotel look like a motel and that wasn't the look I was going for.. needless to say, I already prepaid for my 4 nights, so I was stuck. the front desk staff were nice, free breakfast was good, but owner should really upgrade and update this hotel...

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us. I am glad we were able to provide you with a reasonable summer rate. However, I am very sorry about the dated look. Please note that we have a renovation scheduled slated for the end of the year. I hope you give us another chance once renovated.

This hotel is located right across from Market Basket which is very convenient and it's not to far from Salisbury and Hampton Beach. It's not the fanciest but it's definitely worth what you pay. All staff we encountered were very friendly, the breakfast was very good and the kids enjoyed the hot tub and pool. We had an issue with noisy neighbors and were promptly given a new (and better) room without issue!

Thank you for staying at Best Western Merrimack Valley while visiting the seacoast. We are very pleased you found our hotel convenient and enjoyed our pool/hottub and free breakfast. Please come back again next time you are in our area.

So friendly,very knowledgeable,all around pleasure. We stayed because of a location of a wedding we attended. Easy to get to off the highway and easy entrance all around. We will be using this location again come next summer.....

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you so much! We all look forward to seeing you again next summer.

I stayed here one night on business. I was not impressed. When you pay 150 for a night, you expect more than you can find, or at least better done, than the $90 place. They did have a pool and hot tub, however I wasn't able to engage due to evening conference and it was closed when I got back (normal, most close by 10). But the set up for ice is a ways away, the vending area's are all over with different things in different places, the bed was hard (some may like it very firm) I'm not one. The customer service at the desk was very good, they were nice, friendly, and even got me in a bit early. I was out late for conference and slept in, woken to the maid trying to come in at 855am. It wasn't like I was there a few days and may need service. There were goods, loved the size of the room, the couch and desk with the king bed was nice and the fridge and coffee in room, along with 2 waters was great, and the location off the highway is also a plus. Overall, just not worth the cost at the place.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for your detailed review. We appreciate your feedback and are happy that you listed what you did like, as well as, the negatives. We try to keep our prices competitive for our area. They tend to be higher in the summer since it is busier and lower in the winter. We hope that you give us another chance to accommodate you in the future. Best regards, Director of Sales

We did a stop over on our road trip. The room was so comfortable with a refrigerator and great TV channels including TCM. They have free wifi. We got a rollaway bed for our kid. The bathroom is clean and good shower. There is plenty of parking. Be ready to climb stairs with your luggage. Try to get a Lower floor. There is breakfast in the morning. Eggs, bacon and pancakes. The dinning area is a little small and smelly but you can take the food upstairs.

Hello, Thank you for stopping over off 495 on your road trip. We are pleased you ended up at Best Western Merrimack Valley. We appreciate your lovely comments about the plentiful breakfast that can be eaten in the breakfast room or in the comfort of your own room. We are in the process of planning a remodel that does include an elevator for all rooms. Thank you again for your stay.

Very nice hotel, location is outside of Boston but that is what we wanted. It is located next to the Hightway but by the river away from highway and noise. Room nice and large, lady at front desk very nice and helpful. Would stay here again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Wonderful! Thank you for staying with us while visiting Boston. We appreciate your stay and your wonderful feedback. Please come back again and visist.

Stayed here for a short visit to Boston as it was about an hours drive. The facilities were very good and include swimming pool. Clean and comfortable room. Good continental breakfast. Convenient as Restaurant very near. Staff were very friendly. Cookies on the front desk.

Thank you for staying in Haverhill, just North of Boston while you were visiting. We thank you for choosing Best Western and are pleased you had a lovely stay. We hope to see you again.

I was given this hotel to stay one night by a friend who resides nearby. Upon arriving it was apparent that the property is in the seedier part of town. The building requires maintenance, updating, and cleaning. Check-in was uneventful and the agent was congenial. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, bathroom very clean. The room needed updated decorating. It was just old. Not dirty. There is a pool of which I didn't use but was being used by many. The hotel provides a free breakfast which is the usual: cereal, scrambled eggs, bread, muffins, juice, honey, bagels, etc. The food was good, fresh, and plentiful. There are about 10 tables to sit so be early for breakfast. A previous reviewer mentioned drug dealing in the parking lot. I'm a retired Police Officer and see these kind of things but saw nothing here. The rate, $108.00, was cheap and it suited me for one night. I think I'd pass the next time and probably pay a little more for a nicer hotel.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us while in our area. We pride ourselves on clean and efficiently priced hotel rooms. We are scheduled for a major renovation, hopefully starting the later of this year which, will fix the outdated look. We appreciate your feedback and especially for mentioning that there is no drug dealing. We work very closely with the local police and try to keep our hotel clean and free of this type of activity. We hope you are able to give us another chance in the future.

Stayed at this hotel before and it was a nice experience both times. The pool was fairly large for a hotel and I enjoyed the swim. Staff extremely helpful. Close to Portsmouth, NH (we went there to visit friends), but about a third of the hotel prices there.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your review and you 5 rating! We look forward for you to come back again for a visit.

This Best Western has drug dealers and users, sadly and in plain view, in the front parking lot. Wretched! I will say the Front Desk, Maintenance, Chamber Wait, and Breakfast Staff are wonderful. Furthermore (and ironically), the mattresses are very good. Stay somewhere else in the Merrimac-Haverhill, MA area.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am very sorry you had a problem during your stay in the parking lot. Please if you see anything like this report to front desk, so that our front desk staff or local police. Our staff and the police will work closely to defer this type of behavior from our area as well as our city. We hope that you give us another chance and come back to enjoy our wonderful staff and clean and comfortable accommodations. Thank you, Director of Sales

This is the second and last time we will stay here. Last year we said we wouldn't be back but late scheduling limited other options. The exterior appearance should tell potential customers of what to expect. Grounds were not kept up, grass needed mowing, bushes needed trimming, weeds all over garden beds and rain gutters either falling off side of building or lacking altogether.

Manager22031, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Peter, Thank you for staying with us again this year. We appreciate your feedback and will use these comments to make changes in the future. Best regards, Sales Manager

Service is great but the hotel is aging fast unfortunately. Rooms are outdated, internet was not fast enough to stream a movie and the mattress was way too hard. On the positive side, the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying at Best Western Merrimack Valley. We do have a renovation coming up soon that will fix the dated look. We hope you can come back again to visit. Best Regards, Director of Sales

Great location, the hotel is right off the highway. The staff was extremely helpful, nice and friendly but hotel needs update. The mattress was very uncomfortable, the carpet has stain and smell, towels look old.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your feedback after your stay at Best Western Merrimack Valley. I am sorry that you had an issue with the matress being uncomfortable. We will look into that and at the room you stayed in to see if we can fix the issues. I hope that you can give us another chance and come back again. Thank you, Sales Manager

We had no problems checking in and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Great pool and location near pharmacies, restaurants and some shopping and gas stations.room was clean , bed a bit soft but it was ok. lots of great tv channels and quiet room. Breakfast was very good. No problems at all with hotel. Would recommend to people and would stay again.

Thank you! We appreciate your stay with us and your lovely review. We look forward to seeing you again next time you are in our area.

We were assigned room 159 for a 1 night stay in late June. There is peeling paint on the ceiling (picture attached). Researching the building, I found that it was originally a Howard Johnson's that opened in approximately 1966. (Asbestos was a common building material until the 1970's when it was banned as a carcinogenic.) I urge management to do an immediate and thorough professional inspection of this peeling paint. Other than that "minor" problem, we enjoyed the good soundproofing from the freeway, the larger size mini-fridge, the pancake machine at breakfast, and the welcome candy bar at check-in. The system was down at the front desk so clerk politely excused herself to do check in and check out in the adjoining back room. Property needs updating as furnishings are older and decor was uninspiring. Room was dark and the two-lighbulb light had 2 different hues of light bulbs. Smokers were huddled outside the side entrance door facing the parking lot & cinema to avoid the no-smoking fine indoors...but the odors were nonetheless pervasive. Would definitely stay elsewhere next time.

kspaulding, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Dear Abbot71, Thank you for your concerns about the "peeling paint" in your room. We can assure you the property has been remodeled completely several times since it was built in 1966. There is no asbestos, but we appreciate your letting us know that there is peeling paint in room 159, and we'll be sure to put in a work order asap. We're sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay. Thank you for your feedback, as it will help us to provide a better experience for future guests.

Cost and amenities comparable. Great market, can walk. Nice hot breakfast. Beds comforatable, good size.Fast sevice. Pool okay daughter told me. Coffee always available in lobby. WiFi just little slow.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for staying at Best Western with your family and sending us your feedback. We appreciate your business and hope to see you again soon. Thank you, Hotel Manager

A quiet, comfortable place to stay. No traffic noises. The room was clean and spacious. A nice sitting area made it feel like a suite. Desk clerk was pleasant and helpful. Enjoyed a good breakfast. Parking is a little ways off around the building since there is an extended stay section out back.

Thank you for staying at Best Western while around the North of Boston area. We are so pleased that you had a nice stay and enjoyed our deluxe breakfast. We hope that you are able to visit us again in the future. Thank you, Director of Sales

Stayed one night at Best Western Merrimack Valley. Our room was very nice, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was good with a variety of things to choose from. The pancake machine was a real novelty - we've never seen it anywhere before!

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your stay at our property and your review. Isn't the pancake machine amazing! I would love one in my home to make breakfast a breeze. Thanks again, Director of Sales

The good first, probably the best internet I've ever had at a hotel and the bed was good. Breakfast was ok..but other than that it smelled horribly. Walking through the halls...it was almost too much to handle. It smelled like a conglomeration of cigarette smoke and mold just dancing around waiting to choke you to death. It wasn't pleasant.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your response. I am pleased to see you had great internet service during your stay. However, I am very sorry about the smell. We are a 100% non-smoking property and try to discourage guests with a $200.00 fee, but some just don't abide. Trust me, we do charge as soon as we find the culprits and on many instances have kicked guests out. Please do not hesitate to dial 0 to speak to the operator about anyone diobaying hotel rules in the future.

No sense of security because Key card exterior door frequently propped open by patron, no handicapped access to breakfast room, pool freezing, air conditioner noisy and front desk personnel too defensive in responses to communicate with about issues.

Hello, I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. Thank you for your feedback and we will keep an eye on the rocks being put in doors, that is unacceptable and not tolerated due to the safety issue. Thank you again and I hope that you come back and stay in the future. Best regards, Direcrtor of Sales

Stayed one night at the end of vacation in order to fly out of Logan the next morning. The hotel was easy to find. The front desk clerk on arrival was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great, although the room way out of the way and a bit difficult to find. There were overhead signs, but not easily noticed. Once we saw the signs it was easy to find. Good selection.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for the Excellent review and staying with us the night before you left on your vacation. We offer clean rooms at affordable prices and just a short drive outside of Boston. That paired with our complimentary breakfast makes it a perfect stay over before heading out of Logan International Airport. Thank you again and we hope to see you on your way back home. Best regards, Director of Sales

I arrived after midnight and was greeted with a smile. Gwen and Bill in particular were extremely helpful - making my wait comfortable when my transfer was delayed and gave all around exceptional service. Would recommend.

Hello, Thank you so much for the 5 stars and the lovely feed back about our staff and hotel. We strive to make our guests feel at home while they are away from theirs. It sounds like we achieved this for you. We hope you get a chance to come back and visit soon. Best regards, Sales Manager

I had to stay here for one night due to losing my room at another hotel. Otherwise, I would have left right after I walked in. First, the room smelled awful! I don't know if they didn't change the filter in the air conditioner or what. But it smelled like mold or mildew or something else unclean. Second, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls in several places. Third, I don't know what the vanity/sink was made of (probably some kind of vinyl or veneer) but it was bubbled up and peeling. The tub was stained and chipped. There were stains on the painted surfaces. And the towels were small, thin, and cheap. The shower had bad pressure and wouldn't get hot enough. The whole room felt unclean and yucky. I wore my flip flops the whole time I was there. The WORST part of the room was that it was unsecured. The part of the lock that the bar is SUPPOSED to latch to WAS MISSING!!! and the window, which is on the ground level was unlocked! (Probably because someone was trying to get some kind of fresh air in there). I know I should have left that room, but they were booked solid and we had no place else to go. We didn't stay for breakfast. I was afraid to. But I will tell you, this place is huge and confusing. We tried to find the lobby from our room and ended up wandering around like we were in a Stephen King book. We finally had to ask someone how to find the lobby because the arrows on the wall indicating the direction to the lobby suddenly stopped. On our way back from the lobby we encountered other "wanderers" and helped them out. I know this place got some good reviews, and some not so good reviews. I must have been put in the worst room they had to offer because it was AWFUL!

Hello, Please accept my apologizes from our entire team. We pride our self in cleanliness and have just recently won and award for achieving this. I deeply apologize and hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with a better experience. Thank you, Sales Manager

This was my second time staying here and overall it was a very good value. Check in was seamless with KELLY, who was quite friendly and professional. There was a problem with my initial room so she put me upstairs in the front of the hotel and I was very pleased with it's size, location and overall appearance. It even had a small deck in the back which was sunny and warm in the early evening. Breakfast is very tasty and the beds are quite comfortable. Overall I would recommend this hotel for the value and location.

Manager22031, Manager at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Wonderful! Thank you for the kinds review and we hope to see you again this summer.

We always stay here on our trips to the Boston area. The rooms are clean, the rates are reasonable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. This is our go-to hotel in which to stay while visiting family.

Hello, Thank you so much for staying with us and your lovely review. We look forward to you staying again next time you are visiting family. Best reagards, Director of Slaes

We had booked a block of rooms for a wedding. When we arrived, the rooms were scattered around the facility rather than in the same wing. When we asked why, we were told that the hotel was busy. This was despite our booking months in advance. Also, the room we initially were assigned had not been cleaned after the last occupant. We arrived in late afternoon so I don't see any excuse for this. In general, the hotel was not in good repair and was dingy.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I am very sorry for the trouble with your room block at Best Western Merrimack Valley. We do try our best to grant reservation requests and get everyone together, I am sorry this did not happen with your group. We hope that you will give us another chance in the future. Best regards, Director of Sales

Pleasantly surprised. Rooms were comfortable. I love white comforts because you know the sheets and bedding are clean. Our third floor rooms had balconies, so we had fresh air. Remotes didn't work in 2 if the rooms, but we survived. And unfortunately had to go to desk each day for clean towels because towels were taken by housecleaning but never replaced.

Hello Cathy, Thank you for staying with Best Western Merrimack Valley. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and liked our fresh comfortable balcony rooms. We hope that you are able to stay with us again next time you are in the area. Best regards, Director of Sales

I mistakenly booked the hotel for the wrong night using Orbitz and it was a non-refundable reservation. The hotel clerk was extremely accommodating and helped me fix the issue. Orbitz was taking forever and she had extreme patience and was extremely kind. I really, really appreciated what she did for me and would stay there again because of it.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us at Best Western Merrimack Valley.

We hope to see you again soon and feel free to call us directly to book your reservation, our front desk staff can make reservations for any date. Thank you, Director of Sales

The room was clean and the staff was professional and courteous. We stopped after a long day of travelling and this hotel was close to the highway and was reasonable for the area. The amenities, such as the pool and breakfast was a bonus for us.

Thank you for choosing Best Western Merrimack Valley after a long day of travel. We are pleased that we were able to provide a clean and courteous environment that you were able to relax and get a nice healthy breakfast before getting back on the road. We hope you stop by again next time you are in our area.

The young lady working the breakfast area was in a class by herself. I have never seen anyone in a comparable position so dedicated to the cleanliness and stocking of the breakfast area. The options for breakfast were great. Area was well maintained, comfortable and good lighting. TV wasn't loud as is so often the case in these type of areas. Seating and table arrangements very comfortable.

I am very sorry that you had a bad experience. Hopefully we can get this settled for you quickly. Give us a call directly to fix any mistakes that might have been made. Thank you, Director of Sales

Great service, pool, work out facility,and the best full breakfast around included in the price. A must for the seasoned or newby traveler alike. I would stay at a Best Western given the choice for my travel needs.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at Best Western Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
This is wonderful to hear! Thank you for stayingwith us and giving us your lovely feedback about our hotel and free full breakfast. We try to add a little extra, since its the most important meal of the day. Thanks again, Director of Sales

In fact,the title said it all. The hotel is nice and have all the facilities one needs (Microwave,multilingual staff,premium bedding,premium TV channels refrigerator). Large airy rooms,indoor pool,fitting room and a very good breakfast (hot/cold). All close to the highway. Recommended

Thank you so much for staying at Best Western Merrimack Valley and leaving such a nice review for our hotel. We appreciate you feedback and are pleased you had a wonderful stay at good price. We hope to see you again soon.

Stayed here on our way from Pennsylvania to Bar Harbor. Have stayed in other Best Westerns and have usually been satisfied. This was the case here. It was a little past the half way point of our trip. A pet friendly hotel is a must for us. The staff was very professional and helpful. The breakfast was above average and there was a sufficient choice of items from which to select.

I stayed here for 10 days visiting family. The hotel is more like a motel really,no lounge or bar areas so it's straight to your room. The decor is quite dated,mid 80's style but the room we had was adequate especially at the rate offered. Breakfast was slightly odd for those coming from UK - ok but very much utilitarian with paper plates and plastic knives and forks. In summary, I would stay again as beds were comfortable and rooms at back are quiet but do not expect luxury - good value,quite basic facilities are what you will get.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us while visiting family. We are happy you enjoyed your 10 day stay and found our hotel comfortable and affordable. Luckily, even though we do not have a bar we are situated within walking distance to one, as well as, other shops like: grocery store, 24 hr. cvs and even a movie theater. These close amenities make our location quite appealing to those staying more than one night. We hope to see you again next time you are here to visit family.

There was food in the frig from the last people who stayed there. Candy paper on the floor that was not from us.. Never changed the sheets in the 3 days we were there. The shampoo that was in the room was half used and left there. The bath tub did not drain properly and the water dripped all night and the bathmat was black and the tub had mold underneath and the first time we stepped in to shower black bugs ran out from under the mat.

Hello, I am terrible sorry for the not so pleasant experience you had while staying at our hotel. I looked at the service reports for your room and it looked like you had your do not disturb sign on each day you were here. We do not service the room if we see that on. However, I am very sorry for the uncleanliness. That is not how we want to be represented and will make sure we are more careful with our cleaning procedures. We hope you give us a second cahance and come back next time you are in our area. Thank you, Director of Sales

Never stayed here before and was pleasantly surprised with the shopping area and places to walk and enjoy the season. Able to visit with family in the area and see some of the country side. Easy access to major highways. I would definitely visit this area again to see more of what the states around have in store.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for the sweet review. We are very pleased to read you enjoyed your time at our hotel and will stay with us again next time you visit with family. Thank you, Director of Sales

I stayed here with a bus tour group Memorial Day weekend 2016. My room was clean with microwave and fridge. The area is great. Across the road is a shopping center with Marshalls, Burlington, CVS, a supermarket and a liquor store.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for staying with us. We love having bus tours and we had so much fun with your tour. We hope you come back again next year. Thank you, Sales Manager

We were stuck. Couldn't find a place to stay at Hampton Beach, NH due to a seafood festival we didn't know about. Wound up driving west on I-495 to Haverhill, MA before we got a room at this place. It's very dated and the last remodel was like a botched botox job. Nothing about this place felt right. We got about 4 hours sleep and got out of there. Folks "hanging around" in the lobby could be gang members in central casting. The long, damp maze of corridors to our room could be a "B" movie set. The made-over counter in the lavatory was de-laminating and cracking... cracks so wide that small critters could live in there. Carpet was unfit to walk on with bare feet. Bed was OK... but a good nights sleep was not in the cards.

Hello, I am sorry you had an unpleasant experience at our hotel. Please accept my apologies. Also, please keep us in mind for the future, as we do have a renovation coming soon and all our rooms will be in one area. Thank you, Director of Sales

the best western Merrimack valley in Haverhill Massachusetts was a nice visit- the staff was friendly but some of them were not dressed properly in my opinion- the breakfast was good but getting to the breakfast area was terrible- not handicap accessible- no elevator- the breakfast was hot and the food was good but needed a bigger area for more people, we had to go to our room to eat and get a seat

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, We appreciate you staying at our hotel North of Boston. We thank you for your feedback and do have a renovation planned soon that will included an easier layout with larger breakfast area. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you, Sales Manager

I will NEVER stay at this property again. It's infested with cockroaches and is in need of a major overhaul of all its rooms. Gross!! The sink countertop was warped and cracking. They must have used 2 tubes of caulking around the wash basin to try and fill in the cracks. There were cockroaches on the floor, ceiling and on our luggage. Totally grossed out and pray to God that we didn't bring them home with us.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I am terrible sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We did have the room inspected after we spoke and there was no findings in the room. We appreciate you staying with us and I am glad you reached out to me personally so that I was able to compensate you for your troubles. We hope that you visit us again once the renovations are complete. Thank you, Director of Sales

in dire need of upgrading interior rooms, lobby, etc., doors do not properly close with and have huge gaps around them, rooms are dingy. No hot water or tea available throughout the day, only coffee. Long hair found in sheets and on floor and half full water jugs with broken seal found on tray with ice bucket.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I am so sorry about your stay. We will have to make sure that our team is looking closer at the water when cleaning our rooms. Also, we do have a major renovation in the works that will address your other concerns. We hope to see you again once our renovations are complete. Thank you, Sales Manager

Overall the hotel was clean, services provided were satisfactory and I felt confident that I got the best value/deal in the area! For a room with two queen beds, AC, a good size bathroom and closet, I paid under $200 for a Saturday night booking- for downtown Haverhill, that was pretty good!

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you! We try to keep our prices below our competitors even on sold out situations. Thank you again for staying with us!

We live in Florida, but had to make a quick trip to New England for a funeral. We booked the Best Western due to location. We were in the back building next to on ramp for 495. Could not ask for a more convenient location. I had to run into Boston to pick up family from Logan a couple of times. Being right on 495 made this really easy. The hallways of the hotel smelled a little musty, probably from the indoor pool. There seemed to be ongoing issues with the elevator, although we never experienced any problems. In the hotel's defense, they had an elevator repairman out there for the first two days of our stay. The room itself was fine. The bed slept wonderfully and it was very convenient to have a refrigerator in there. The staff was very kind and helpful to us while we were there. If we had a need for a hotel in this area, we would stay here again.

I am terrible sorry for your loss. We appreciate you choosing Best Western as your hotel while in town. It is nice to hear that the location along with the friendly staff made your stay a good one. We hope to see you again for a happier occasion next time.

I have visited this motel for on going 8 yrs, and suddenly there was new staff, and my price went up by 20 or more dollars. When I arrived in spite of telling them I was arriving late and even called to tell them I was 45 minutes out, my single single was stifling hot, and smelly. This trip I only spent 1 night, I was so disappointed that I decided I will never return to Haverhill Mass motel, although it is the closest to my grandchildren. I would rather pay the extra cash to stay on the beach then to return there again and yes I told the young girl at the desk with the curling dirty fake fingernails.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am terrible sorry you found your room hot upon arrival. We try to pre-cool in the summer months and pre-heat in the winter so that our guests are comfortable upon arrival to the room. I apologize this did not happen this time for you. I hope you are able to give us another chance in the future. I appreciate your dedication to our hotel over the years and know that we can make your next stay perfect again.

Enjoyed it here. We were given a nice quiet room upstairs as we had requested. Good facilities & a nice swimming pool. Very pleasant staff. Good breakfast. I would recommend without hesitation. Immediately opposite all sorts of shops including a large Market Place where we sorted out our supper.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your very nice review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your quite room and happy our staff was so pleasant and helpful.

Booked room was in newly renovated portion of hotel.. Room had balcony, comfortable bed, new furniture and very clean bathroom. Stayed for 6 days and hotel was quiet. Across the street is a plaza with Market Basket, restaurant. Hotel is conveniently located next to Route 495,

Thank you for choosing our hotel while in the area. We are very pleased you enjoyed your updated room. We hope to see you again soon.

The hotel charged us twice for the room. When we found out about this we were in Maryland and consequently out of funds to buy gas or a hotel room. The hotel would not help us for either. We had to stay in the car overnight. The next day we continued driving to NC after the debit card company restored our funds.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am very sorry for the trouble with the billing and the problems it caused. We hope you will come back again to give us a chance to provide excellent service.

At least part of this hotel is old and tired and does not meet the Best Western standard that I've become accustomed to. A serious upgrade or a serious drop in price is required to match up the value here. I will not stay here again for the price I paid. I have stayed at other Best Western's in the US that have far exceeded the value for dollar spent than this place. Having said that I have no issues with the staff here, they met all my expectations.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your feed back. I am sorry that you feel that the hotel did not meet standards. You will be pleased to know that we have a renovation that is in the process of being scheduled. We hope that once this is complete you consider staying with us again.

If not for the fact I had a nonrefundable reservation I would have kept on driving. The hotel had trash in flower beds and parking lot. Halls and room had musty smell and dust everywhere. I must say the bed was comfy and no noise to be heard. The pancake machine was broken. The hotel staff seemed like they did not want to be bothered with my concerns.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
I am so sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We will take your comments and learn from them. Thank you for your feedback and we hope you are able to give us another chance in the future.

Has everything a traveler expects but the hotel is fairly old and the rooms we were in definitely showed it. The staff were excellent and the location was great to be able to get to local attractions such as Canobie Lake or Hampton Beach. Internet and breakfast also met expectations for a BW hotel.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for your review. I am so glad you found our location perfect for summer fun and our hotel was able to provide all the amenities you needed to enjoy your stay. Pleas note that we do have a major renovation coming down the pipeline that with fix the age of the property. We hope to see you again soon. Thanks again.

Mari was extremely helpful during our stay, she was quick to answer any questions and provide us with information on the area. Jose also helped me finding things in the area and giving me a background.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay in our area. We look forward to your next trip here.

Just needed an overnight stay on the way to Bangor. Older hotel, no elevator and Breakfast downstairs from where we were. That being said it was a good price at $124.00 and the room was small but very clean with frig and microwave plus a safe. Had trouble finding our room but Robert (front desk) guided us and couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming. Trouble with TV and George was there in 2 minutes just a glitch with channel. Again very nice and helpful. Nice indoor pool and jacuzzi plus small gym although we didn't have a chance to use it. Great location right off of 95 and there was mall across the street with grocery, liquor store and restuarants. Gave it 4 stars because of employees nice bed and the cleanliness and price.

Thank you for your kind notes about our hotel and staff. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to see you again soon.

Driving from the State of Maine, we decided to stop for the night at Haverhill, Ma.,Best Western. It was late at night and tired, we checked in. The hotel was easy to find by GPS, the receptionist was very helpful and nice during check-in. We had the room on the first floor. The A/C was quiet enough and the room was very clean, the beds were very comfortable. We really appreciated the pleasant quietness in the room. We slept very well and comfortably very rested by the next morning, ready to continue our journey towards home in Ct. Thanks!

Wonderful! Thank you for finding us. We hope to see you again soon some day.

The room was nice and clean , the beds comfortable . The hot breakfast was a good start to the day . It was confusing the way the halls and room numbers were directing you to go also to go to the breakfast room.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us! I am very please to hear you had a clean and comfortable room. We are trying to institie a map at check in to help with the confusing layout, sorry you had such troble finding your way around.

Feel bad for the 2 young people working at the desk when we checked in, but, we waited in a line to the door for 45 minutes to check in because the computer/ keying system was not working properly. The young man and woman were calm and friendly but did not seem to have any higher management support that they needed. The room was extremely hot and air conditioning worked just minimally. Room stayed hot and stuffy all night. The Bathroom was not very clean....multple hairs in the tub and on the floor.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your feedback. I am terrible sorry that check in was busy. We will make sure to try to add additional staff on days like that. We hope you consider staying with us again in the future.

Good value for money. The facility and room were clean and well maintained and the appearance and helpfulness of the staff was excellent. Location is convenient but not near a lot of other facilities. I would definitely use this location again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Wonderful, we love to hear that guests enjoyed their stay and will come back again. We look forward to your next visit. Thank you!

Very convenient hotel with all the extras you need. Staff is very helpful. Could use updated mattresses but otherwise the rooms are very comfortable. Breakfast is included and offers all that you might want. The pool is great and there is easy access to local convenience stores, grocery stores and more.

Hello, Thank you so much staying with us. I love you title "home away from home". Yes we have a great location and will be doing some rennovations soon. Very happy you enjoyed the pool and the local ambiance. We hope to see you again soon.

If you need a place to stay for a night and not looking for luxury, this is a good hotel. There is a pool but other services are limited. We missed the breakfast offering but received a good recommendation from the maintenance staff. Appears to be a compilation of several buildings so the layout is a bit confusing. Ask the clerk for directions to your room before roaming around the entire complex.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us and your feedback. Yes you are right the building can be confusing your first time here, great tip to ask the desk for directions. Hope to see you again.

Room was neat and clean. Staff is extremely polite and helpful. Internet worked perfectly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a quiet place to sleep without any issues for a decent price!

Wonderful! Thank you for your stellar review. We appreciate you leaving your feedback about our hotel and our great staff. We hope to see you and your friends again soon.

From checking in to leaving I observed a staff of folks that were completely inexperienced and inadequate to be working in the positions that there at. The hotel that was more like a maze to get around. I originally requested a handicap room, I called the hotel prior to arriving and was told that they would place one on hold for me, when I arrived there was not handicap room on hold so I had to stay in a room that was available for that night. The next day I went to the desk and that staff representative took 30 minutes to see if he could get me a room and finally I got one, I was told by the desk clerk that he would have someone move my items to the handicap room and that never happened, and I had to do it myself. I never got any maid service for three of the day's that I stayed and I had to find and ask the head maid to have someone change my dirty towels and empty my barrels.. I observed that the hotel indoor pool has no ventilation, Its like a sauna in there and the floor an fans are so dirty they haven't been cleaned in some time. The halls are a musty smell and there's no place that easy to find, the hotel is set up as a maze. I stayed in several Best Westerns and this by far was the worst.

In our group was three adults and a 3 year old. We had a nice visit here. Our room was clean and inviting. We asked for and received more toiletries. Also had more towels delivered. We used the pool. The hot tub was too hot for us. We did get the continental breakfast. That was full of options. Make your own pancakes. Omelets and ham slices. All kinds of breads and muffins. Yogurts and fruit salad. Cereals and milks. We were happy with our room and the breakfast.

Hello, Wow, sounds like our location was a perfect fit for you. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and others. We look forward to your next stay. Thank you, Director of Sales

Although dated (looks like it was an old HoJo), this BW was very clean and had the amenities we were looking for on vacation. Far enough to be reasonable in price, but not far enough from our destinations, Salem and Gloucester. What set this place apart was the staff...have to give high marks to Robert, Mari and Jess at the front desk, and Jose in maintenance. These folks were great and made the trip a breeze! Loved the breakfast every morning; clean dining area and fresh, cold and hot foods. Our 6 year old loved the pool, and my wife, the hot tub! Our stay here was great and we would definitely use the BW here again!

The place is very outdated and the tv is missing half the channels listed. Internet is poor at best. The front desk staff was very sloppy dressed. The pool had area had no towels and when asked they gave us shower floor towels.

Close to shopping, restaurants, drug stores and easy access to highway. King rooms are on main level near pool and ours had a couch which is great when you just want to put your feet up and read. Good breakfast with lots of options.

We stayed for a week to visit friends and to see Boston. The location is perfect! Everything you need is very close. CVS next door. Restaurants and grocery very close! Facilities are clean and well maintained. We loved the pool/hot tub, the breakfast bar was more than adequate, and coin-op laundry was great! The staff was very helpful and friendly!

We have been to 5 star hotels and found the service to be equal if not better here at Merrimack. We stayed for 3 nights and our housekeeper Nidia was just fantastic! We had an issue and needed maintenance, Jose was super, he went above and beyond to fix the issue. We came with friends and we both enjoyed the pool and hot tub. A great way to end a day of sight seeing.

Hello Carla, Thank you so much for your recent stay with us. We appreciate your kind words about our hotel and staff. We truly try to go above in beyond to make every guests stay awesome. Thanks again, Director of Sales

Wanted to get away for a few days and most places I tried were booked. That was my lucky day. I never stayed at a Best Western before and I was more than pleasantly surprised. The facility was clean. the room was very clean. the staff was so nice and very helpful whenever I needed anything.

All of the staff--Jared, Bill and George went out of their way to provide excellent service even though it was very busy at the time of check-in. George carried in our bags and Bill and Jared provided tips for our stay. What ever we needed was provided promptly and courteously. Taylor assisted us in the check-out process by providing us with extra supplies. The Free Breakfast was beyond the usual continental breakfast that most hotels offer, My travel companion and I are both senior citizens who had been traveling for several weeks. No other place provided such service as we received at this hotel.

I've stayed at Best Western hotels all over the United States. I usually like them for their cleanliness, consistency and value. I honestly can't believe that Best Western is allowing this dump to be associated with their brand. I've never encountered a Best Western that caused me literally check the mattresses for bed bugs and the corners for cockroaches. My room was smelly, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls, you could feel the bedsprings through the mattress, the rugs were dirty, the windows were stuck open and the maintenance guy had to come force them to close, the furniture was broken down and gross...the list goes on and on. If this has popped up as a recommendation for you, move on quickly to the next recommendation. If someone has booked you here for business, call them and tell them you need an alternate hotel.

Good Afternoon, I am very sorry you did not find us consistent with the other hotels. We do follow the standards and keep up with the cleanliness of the property as best we can.

Where do I begin. Since retired, wife and I have traveled quite a bit staying at least 25 nights away from home at Best Western hotels. Last two stays, thought I was booking stays thru Best Western website but was tricked into booing thru Expedia. Result, cost me much mot than expected. First night paid over $100 and then second night over $188 both for substandard hotels. I'm outraged and call to Best Western directly received no satisfaction. Will certainly look into other chains before booking again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Peter, I am terribly sorry that you tried to book on Best Western Directly and ended up on another site. I have never heard of that happening before, but will certainly mention it to Best Western and have someone look into it. In the future here is the direct link to book any Best Western on our Best Western website. http://www.bestwestern.com/ Sorry, Director of Sales

My experience was enjoyable due to employee Joe who went above and beyond to make check in easy and my short stay a pleasure. I have stayed at the best western quite a few times this past year and I remember Joe being the same friendly, caring employee as he was on july 7th also.

Hello, Thank you, that was so sweet. I am so happy you had a nice stay and we are pleased to have Joe working for us! Thank you, Director of Sales

Stayed 1 night. Layout of hotel odd. We were a distance from our car. We did not want to go out for dinner so I ordered takeout and picked it up. I would recommend the hotel tell you of places to have dinner food delivered. Need more then 1 washer and 1 dryer.

Manager22031, Manager at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Good Afternoon Nancy, Thank you for staying with us and for your review. I agree with you our layout is quite large and can be confusing when unfamiliar. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly keep in mind for the future. Thanks again, Director of Sales

After checking in we found our room and it was clean but dated. We have stayed at Best Western before and been very happy. However, after a long day on the road, we checked in and went across the street to the 99 restaurant for supper. We were both tired and just wanted to crawl into bed and get an early night. however, at 1:30 am there was a drunken guest banging on his door which he had been locked out of by his girlfriend. we called the front desk and they said don't worry it is only a drunken guest. They eventually came up and around 3:30 am the noise quieted down. In the morning when we checked out, we saw glass all over the hall carpet and the fire extinguisher had been used to pound on the door and sat on the floor outside this drunks room. I complained to a "very nice" lady at the front desk in the morning and told her what had happened. She appeared shocked and quickly reduced our bill by $30 and gave us an additional 5000 points towards our rewards program. Very satisfied with that outcome.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello Garry, I am sorry to read about your experience at our hotel and so sorry that one guest actions bothered others that night. We did end up having the drunken guest escorted off the property by police that night and they are not welcome back. Thank you for addressing it with the front desk the next morning and I am happy that she was able to satisfiy you by adjusting your bill and providing you with bonus points. We hope that you can come visit us again some day! Best regards, Director of Sales

Good # indoor pool and hot tub was great # Breakfast was nice. # checkout was quick. # location was nice. Shopping center is bang opposite. Lot of good restaurants nearby. # Rooms were good size # good security. All doors need room key to open # close to freeways Not so good but not really bad # person on early morning shift was not that friendly....was trying to act smart. # wifi kept dropping # big hotel so had to walk a lot from registration desk to room, room to ice machine, room to pool etc

Hello Abhay, We are so pleased you found so many positives about our hotel, from location to amenities. We are sorry you had trouble with the big layout of the hotel, we understand it can be quite a walk from the D building to the front of hotel. It looks like all the positives may have out weighed that and we hope to see you again next time you are in our area. Thank you for choosing Best Western!

Stayed at the Best Western for 3 nights while attending a family function in the Haverhill area. Convenient to major roadways, and easy access to town ,restaurants & stores. Good breakfast served each morning, the staff is very friendly & courteous. Nice rooms, yes could be brightened up & updated. Pet friendly hotel so if you have allergies ask for a room away from the pet allowed room area. Nice pool ,exercise room. Front desk staff greets you with a friendly smile.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Good day, Thank you for staying at our property while attending your family function. We love that our location is so convenient for out of town guests and makes them feel right at home with all the necessary places nearby. That along with our friendly staff and nice clean rooms it makes for good accommodations. We hope to see you again next family event!

This was a very good stay, clean and neat. Staff welcoming and helpful. Many places to dine nearby and easy to find. Only one hour from our cruise to Star Island. We forgot about finding out about breakfast... but we enjoyed the break.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for your feedback, we hope you enjoyed your cruise to Star Island. We are so pleased that our hotel fit your needs. Next time if you miss breakfast stop at the desk, we offer a to go bag with fruit, granola bar and water. Hope to see you again soon!

Good friendly service with a good breakfast, big pool (chilly), nice hot tub, 90 degrees in the pool area. It was confusing getting from the third building to the pool. Make sure to follow the signs. We had a two queen bed suite. The room was very large and pretty clean. Beds were somewhat firm. The building is old and has a musty smell. It couldn't be smelled in the room we stayed in. It was too pricey though, buy prices were comparable with the area.

Spent the night 6/11/16. Room was spotless - so nice to see the light colored spreads on the beds. Bathroom was very clean. A breakfast was included with the room and the choices were abundant. Would recommend this location to everyone.

Hello, Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the spotless room with the white bedding and the abundant breakfast choices. Thank you for choosing us and we hope to see you again soon. Best regards, Director of Sales

Nice hotel. Huge rooms. Great breakfast. Excellent pool and fitness center. Very convenient location to highway, CVS, restaurants, and gas. Property is a bit old and could use some refurbishing, but overall a great value in a great location.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for your review! We do have a fantastic location, with easy access off the highway and next to a pharmacy, gas station and resautraunts. We are currnetly in the planning phases of a major renovation and hope to be completed renovated within the next year or two. We hope to see you again and appreciate you staying with us. Best regards, Director of Sales

Really impress, This will be my new Fav hotel to stay. The Breakfast is ok, I loved it, and they are always putting fresh food and taking care of everything. Once I enter the room I like it. It didn't stick like others hotel, nice deco, comfortable bed, bathroom, loved the balcony on the second floor. And what I liked most of all is that the hotel was/is clean. The price was just a bit high but it was because of the holiday. But not bad at all for the price. 100% in all aspect.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are very pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay over the holiday weekend and were able to take advantage of our breakfast buffet each morning. We realize how important breakfast is and try to add a little bit extra so every one can find something they like to start their day. Tahnks again, Director of Sales

Stayed here for a week because my employer books the cheapest place they can find. Although it wouldn't be bad for a night or two I wouldn't recommend it for a long term stay. The Good- The internet is pretty good, at least in my room. They were able to accommodate an early check in. The Bad- The temperature control knob to my refrigerator was broken off. There was no way to tell what the actual temperature was set to. This resulted in slushy beer and a frozen solid rotisserie chicken. No elevator so you have to drag your bags up and down the stairs. The beds aren't very comfortable and the pillows are horrible. The rooms and the hotel REALY need updating. The whole place resembles a trip back to the 70s. The Ugly- The doors leading into the rooms are extremely hard to close, which means you basically have to slam it. And if you have to slam yours, everyone else has to slam theirs. The rooms are by no means soundproof. Day and night the hallway is full of the sound of slamming doors. Given the choice (which I wasn't), I wouldn't stay here again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for your stay, I am sorry to hear that you did not find the beds comfortable and had your beer freeze in your fridge. I made a note to our staff to double check the fridge and hopefully that will not happen again. I am glad to read you had complimentary internet and booked a good price for your stay. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you, Director of Sales

Smelly room with spotty wi-fi. It wasn't dirty, but the odor was gross. Found the staff to be pleasant and polite. Breakfast was so-so. Feel the overall stay was overpriced by about $25. Wi-fi is spotty.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for your stay, sorry to hear it fell short. We will look into the smell and just so you know we did have our wifi access points upgraded this week so that should help in the future. Best regards, Direcorr of Sales

the internet was sketchy. It worked the evening that I checked in but not the next morning. I travel as an engineer so internet is crucial for me. I was disappointed in that part of service. The check in was quick and the lady was polite.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I am sorry you had trouble with the internet during your stay. We recently had the company come out and upgrade our access points. Hopefully you will stay again and give us another chance. Best regards, Director of Sales

We've stayed at this hotel before and we found it great in the past and again were pleased with it. It is so easy to get off the 495 and back on. Close to lots of restaurants and shops. This time one of the staff went out of her way to get us a room closer to the front of the hotel making it easier for me to access the entrance. I only wish I had taken her name to give her recognition here. She was wonderful! The room was clean and quiet. There were bottles of water in the room! Thanks! We were also given a little bag with water and snacks. The desk staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fine. We will certainly stay here again when passing through.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you so much for the kind words and your continued business. We just added the bottled water in all of our rooms recently. Its one of the small ways we use to thank ours guests for choosing us! We hope to see you again soon.

Good location for tired travelers. Just off the main road. Many restaurants near by. Can walk to McDonald's or Chinese. Also CVS and Grocery store within walking distance. Only minor flaw is you leave your window open you can hear some noise from highway.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for choosing us while driving though our area. We do have a very convenient location next door to many amenities and all with in walking distance. The highway noise can get busy with the windows open, but all our rooms are equipped with AC and heat for those days you want pure serenity. We hope we get a chance to see you again next time you are traveling through. Thanks again for the review!

Hotel will need some remodeling, rooms are clean but old furniture, bed is comfortable. Even if the hotel is near a highway and main road, our room was quiet and peacefull. There is a good variety of item for breakfast and the breakfast area is nice and clean

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Good Afternoon, Thank you for your stay and review. Yes we are due for a remodel and should be starting with in the next year, so please come back again to see what we have done. However, I am pleased to read that we provided you with a clean, comfortable and peaceful room with a nice full hot breakfast. Thanks again and see you soon.

The Best Western in Merrimack Valley was nice and quiet, I haven't stayed there in many years. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants, shopping center, gas station, right next to a CVS but our room was still very quiet. The hotel is not fancy but very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the shower was awesome, wanted to stay in there for hours! It was close to my family as we had traveled to Haverhill for a funeral for my father. We met Nidia a few times in the hall and she took care of our room when we needed it, very nice lady!

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, I'm so sorry to hear that you were here for a funeral, please accept our sympathies. We are pleased to read that our location and cleanliness was just what you needed along with our pleasant staff. We hope to see you again in the future for a more pleasant occasion. Thank you.

We found the hotel acceptable, very quiet and comfy though. Very close to the shopping center, restaurants, gas stations the highway and banks. We also noticed an off odor when we walked in from the street but not too unbearable, does need some attention though. Our room was neat but we did notice the furniture needed to be a bit updated as nothing seemed to match or arranged in order to utilize optimum space. The staff was very friendly and helpful! And a big thank you to Nidia for taking care of us as we needed :-)

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for choosing Best Western! We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to look at the layout of the room to see if we can find a better way to arrange it for the future. Also, thank you for the note to Nidia, I will make sure to share with her. Thanks again!

My husband and I loved our stay. We stayed in one of their suites and it was very beautiful. The room was clean and gorgeous. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, from the moment we entered until the time we left. We look forward to one day returning. The surrounding area was very nice also. Their were plenty of stores, restaurants and entertainment. It was right off the highway.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for you stay and your wonderful comments about our hotel. We look forward to you and your husband staying again. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Everyone was very accommodating from the front lobby desk check in process up to our check out two nights later. I would highly recommend this hotel. The pool area was very well kept. The hot tub was also very refreshing. I also found that it was very quiet. One thing I did like was the presence of security guards. That added a level of feeling safe in the hotel.

Manager22031, Manager at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you. We are so pleased you had such a nice stay, from check in to check out. Thank you for your wonderful review and staying with Best Western. We hope to see you again soon.

Real good place to stay over for the night, good restaurants and gas stations close. A little expensive but worth one night. Very friendly staff, easy access back to highway. Would stay here again without hesitation.

Thank you for your review. We are so pleased to see another positive review about our friendly staff and convenient location. Thanks for staying with us, we hope we get a chance to see you again soon.

I stay in this hotel when I am in the area (twice a year). I always use a coupon and never had a problem. Nice room and breakfast, terrific staff. Convenient to most business in the northern tier around Boston as well as southern New Hampshire.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your continued stays and patronage to our hotel. We love that we are right off that highway, making it easy for business in Northern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Our grab and go breakfast bags are convenient for those on the go too. Thank you again for your stay and your review. We look forward to seeing you in a few months.

This was a good stopping point with our two kids. Breakfast and wifi were good. The desk clerk enrolled us in the rewards program when they heard we'd be staying in a BW hotel twice more in the next year. Corridors a bit dated but everything worked. We would definitely use this hotel again.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your review and stay. We are pleased to read that you signed up for our Best Western Rewards program and are on your way to earning points for free hotel rooms or gift cards. They add up quick and are very easy to use. We look forward to your next stay with Best Western.

We had an excellent stay, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very quiet with no late night noise. We had a very comfy king bed, so comfy, my husband is buying one! We had a very nice breakfast with good coffee. The whirlpool did the trick! we were relaxed and felt 20 years younger! Across the street is a small shopping center and a gas station that was very convenient, and a pharmacy next door. All added up to a perfect stay!

Thank you!! We love seeing reviews like this as we are always striving for guests to have a perfect stay. Thanks again and we look forward to your next stay with us.

We wanted to stop halfway to Maine so we picked this for the Hot Tub and were not disappointed. clean room , inexpensive and with indoor pool and hot tub .. breakfast was very good also.. very friendly staff.

Rooms were good size. Breakfast was good. Didn't appreciate the kids running in the halls all night. I had a sick child and had to call to complain. Also had a strong smell in the hallway of "weed". Pool floor needs to be redone. Pieces were floating in the pool.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Hello, Thank you for staying with us and leaving feedback about your stay. I am sorry to hear about the smell in the hallways from undesirable guests and children running.

Also thank you for the note about the pool, we will have our maintenance staff look into that. I hope that your child is feeling much better and you are able to visit with us again. Thanks again, Director of Sales

I am a frequent traveler and have a great experience at this Best Western location... staff is courteous and very helpful. Also, the condition of the rooms are great! Heard they are re-doing some of the rooms/carpets... once that's done, it will be more nicer than today.

Overall we had a pleasant stay but Breakfast was from 6am-10am and when we got there at 9:00am to eat there was NOTHING left and no one in sight preparing or putting gout more food. Our room was on the chilly side, which I usually like but even for me it was too cold. I set the heat on 70 degrees and made sure it was on Heat setting and not the cool setting on the thermostat, it still blew cool air. The heat, if you want to call it that, was loud when it turned off and on all night. The vent in the bathroom is not very strong so the humidity from the shower lingered. It also ran nonstop and there was no off switch, there was a sigh that said the vent will remain on and it was connected to the main ventilation system. There was only a stand up shower which was fine but it leaked water like crazy and left puddles on the floor, yes, the shower curtain was inside the shower not outside. We had to use our extra towels for the puddle.

Hello Jo Ann, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your overall good experience at our hotel. Next time you are here feel free to call us with any heating/cooling or other issues in the room. We would have been happy to send someone to fix immediately or move your room. I do thank you for letting us know so we can look into the heat and water for the next guests. Thanks again.

The hotel was very clean. It seems to be have been updated with new carpets. Ther room was good size for the family of 4. Basic breakfast was included. I feel this was very good value and reasonable price.

Manager22031, Director of Sales at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you so much for your nice review. We did just get new carpets and are always making improvements to our property. We hope next time you are in the area you stay with us again.

We only stayed for one night but would stay again. The beds were really comfortable and it was quiet at night. The room was updated nicely and the staff was great. Breakfast was even good.The location was good but you could drive right by it if your not using a GPS.

Thank you very much for taking the time to let me know about your stay with us! The beds are very comfortable and we have a great staff here. Glad you found us okay with a little help with the GPS. We hope to see you again next time you are in our area.

We have stayed here at least 6 times on our way south for the winter. The price is fair and the rooms good. We love the location for our trip and the large shopping center across the street is a bonus. Staff is friendly and very good. Never a noise problem. So would I recommend.

Needed a last minute roadtrip overnight and opted for the Best Western as was not hard to find. Room was basic and clean. I didn't feel 100% safe because this property is in a high traffic area, several warning signs in parking lot to take valuables with you and hotel not responsible, etc., and some of the guests were seedy looking. Security is on-site. My bed was comfortable and I could see my car from my window. The lobby coffee was actually good! Some restaurants nearby if you need them.

Thank you, Director of Sales

Easy on/off to I-95. Would stay again for a night or 2. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpfull. Rooms were clean and comfortable, convient to points in New Hampshire & Maine. Breakfast eggs were cold & rubbery. Would go to McDonalds before I eat breakfast there again.

We spend 3 nights on the road en route to Florida for the winter. We off-ramp I-95 and stay at hotels which offer low prices and a complimentary breakfast. This BW Merrimack was our first night on the road. Every thing was to our satisfaction, beds very comfortable and early breakfast (6:00 am) worked for us.

Hi Marilyn M, Thank you for your review! We love our snowbirds and appreciate you staying with us. We hope you enjoy the nice warm weather and Florida and get a chance to visit with us on your way back through. Best regards, DOS

Check in went quick and smooth. was easy to find right off I-495. this hotel is kinda spread out. we had to enter from the very back. go down this short steep hill is a blind spot there, they have a mirror there to try to help. plenty of parking. we were on 2nd floor right off elevator. which had this musty smell. got to 2nd floor. apparently no heat in hallway. was always very chilly in hallway. we had a handicap room. very spacious room. very clean. heat was not on took a couple hours to really warm up. was a refrigerator and microwave. a very large bathroom, beings floor is marble bathroom room floor was cold. would get cold in there if you leave the door closed for an extended time. was some water stains on the seam of the ceiling. not an issue for me. room in a very quiet area. no hallway noise and none from outside. beings hotel is spread out. its a tricky walk to front. would have been nice to have a roadmap I guess. the big issue for us was. the pool area is closed. was told due to yearly mait. said it may be til thanks giving til pool area is open again. there's nothing really saying its closed. til we asked. for breakfeast has the usual fare, premade eggs, sasauge. make your own pancakes, fruit, did have sliced cheese. french toast sticks. but hot food was luke warm, so you hade to microwave it. a bit chilly in there. overall hotel worked for me. was part of a package deal. price wise in of itself there's better overall hotels for a little more. about 45-60mns to and from logan airport, depending on traffic. traffic in the region can be heavy at anytime. a Cumberland farms store across street. have to travel a little bit to restaurants and shopping areas. would stay there again if I had to.

Hello Carole, We are pleased that you had a wonderful stay and found our hotel staff very accommodating. We appreciate your business and your lovely review. Thanks again!

Need to train staff to be able to check in and out using all methods of payment if a manager is not on site to help. Do not give a receipt and say you are all set and then charge other credit cards once having been checked out because the staff in poorly trained and unable to process a gift card to their own hotel!!!!! Breakfast was terrible, my kids would not even eat anything. The pool is heated??? or so it says, it was cold we swam a few minutes and got out. This is not a hotel I would go to again.

Manager22031, Manager at BEST WESTERN Merrimack Valley, responded to this review
Thank you for your feedback. We since have trained our staff better on how to handle gift cards. Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused you. We hope you change your mind and are able to give us a second chance. Thank you, Hotel Manager

Their breakfast Bistro was an interesting experience, the variety was tremendous, every day was something new and delicious. I looked forward to the next mornings breakfast. not to mention the maid service, the indoor pool & spa, Plus the comfortable Rooms. Access to the Highway, walking distance to the local shopping area, a Dinner Theater rite next door, I could go on and on. The Best couple of days away from home!

We may not have the newest hotel in the area, but we do have a great staff and personalized service. It is nice to hear that you enjoyed some of our extra touches. Thanks again, Director of Sales

I was apprehensive after reading some the reviews but this hotel was perfectly fine for a one night stay. The room was large, clean and had coffee maker in room. We used the laundry facilities which were reasonable at $2 a wash/dry. My only complaint is the price, it was the most expensive motel we stayed in on a 2 week road trip. It's close to Boston, but not THAT close so unsure why there is such a premium.

I have to disagree with some of the previous reviews... Yes, the hotel décor was rather dated but the room was fine. Its wasn't dirty and nothing was broken, as others have indicated.We have no complaints about breakfast. The chinese restaurant across the street was good, with large portions at a reasonable price. In general the hotel was good value for money.

Hello, Thank you for your review and your stay. I am pleased to read that your stay was good and again better than expected. We have gotten slammed with a couple of unhappy guests on this site so it is nice to have some positive feedback. Thanks again, Manager

Our room was alright. Nothing special. The bed was nice. It was nice having a fridge. The rugs look tired. I think the hotel needs an upgrade. Not your usual 2 1/2 star hotel. It was easy off the highway and there is a McDonalds right across the street. It was better than the write ups.

I usually stay at the Best Western in Concord but the meeting was further North this time. Its a good place to stay, I liked the room and service. The Hotel people went above and beyond to help when I was locked out of my car. I will stay there again when in the area

If you are looking for an ideal location with everything you need across the street, this is the place. We stayed here as a base to visit the surrounding areas and we enjoyed our stay. Very nice full breakfast that changes each day and very comfortable, clean rooms.

Hello, Thank you for your lovely review and your stay at Best Western. We are pleased to hear you had a lovely stay and enjoyed the hotel and the surrounding area. We look forward to your next visit. Best regards, Director of Sales

This motel is not what is expected from a Best Western facility. Overall, it is deteriorating and is dirty. The common areas , elevator, stairways, breakfast area, etc. are all in need of some type of repair, replacement, or renovation. Furthermore, the room rate is very high for the area. It would be wise to spend the amount on a more upscale motel.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are currently in the process of design for a renovation. We hope that you give us a second chance once it is complete. Sincerely, Hotel Manager

Good friend whose Pet Rescue vehicle broke down asked to be able to stay TWO HOURS till vehicle was fixed....NOPE that will be $140. WHAT>??? for 2 hours??? She did not want s to sleep in for 2 hours! Her vehicle had broken down. This is a lady who dedicated her ENTIRE life to rescuing and fostering animals...and she is treated like this??? Not in my book. This so-called Manager needs 1) more customer service training or 2) be demoted or FIRED.

I'm sorry to hear that your friend had car troubles in our area. We do have a late check out policy of of 1pm if available, which was provided. We hope that you will still give us a try if in our area. Best regards, Sales Manager

Because of our late arrival to Boston Logan airport (Midnight), we had specified late arrival, and a very welcoming gentleman met us at the desk, though it was 1:30 a.m. Our room was on the ground floor, clean and well-equipped. The bed was comfortable, and the complimentary breakfast included healthy options including eggs, make your own pancakes, fresh fruit and yogurt, and was presided over by a very friendly attendant (something new for us, in a reasonably priced hotel, and very nice). Checkout couldn't have been easier, and we were asked if we enjoyed our stay. Well worth what we paid.

You'd think for $100 night you would get to stay at a fairly nice hotel. Think again. I knew the minute I walked in this was going to be a crappy place to stay. Had I not prepaid, I would've hightailed it out of there. The hallway was hot and smelled of that fake perfumey carpet sprinkle stuff. The bottom of the pool looked like someone had been throwing boudlers into it, pitted and flaky and was either moldy or dirty. The jacuzzi (1 of the 2 reasons I picked this hotel) was only big enough to hold 4 people MAX and it wasn't very hot (NOTE: watch that last step into it, it's a big drop and my husband almost fell.) The room is awkwardly laid out. No exhaust fan in the bathroom an they "decorated" with plastic shell shaped soap dishes and the design is completely outdated (they still have wallpaper in the bathroom. Can anyone say MOLD?) The air-conditioner looked like it was 20 years old (a wall unit) and due to potential mold issues, I was afraid to turn it on. One great thing was the ability to open the windows, but because we were on the bottom floor and they were the crank type, you had to close them before leaving the room or going to bed due to security. Therefore, no air flow at all. Pillows were filled with foam chunks. The TV was large and nice and the mini fridge was large and fairly new (the other reason I chose this hotel; fridge & microwave) The coffee cups were of the cheap toxic foam variety. Could only find four outlets that weren't being used by hotel things to plug things in, in the entire room. Two in the desk lamp, one behind the refrigerator and one in the bathroom. The free breakfast was your standard frozen reheated stuff or processed from a box. Internet was substandard. I will never stay here again and neither should you!

Stayed there 4 days last week...best I can say is that I would never stay there again. After I checked in...I walked about a half a mile to my room and when I got there the keys would not open the door. Was told that if you touch the room key card with keys, another credit card, a ring...almost anything at all...the keys wont work. It took 3 trips to the front desk to get in to the room. The room smelled of mold, the beds were uncomfortable, there was no complimentary shampoo. The bathroom looked like it had been through the war. The countertop which likely should have been replaced many years ago was instead repaired with a reddish fixant which was a poor attempt at looking like the original countertop. There was a cigarette burn on the toilet seat and the bathroom floor while it looked like it had been washed...it also looked like the dirt had gone in to all the nooks and crannies around the tub and perimeter walls. If you have some reason to be in the area and can find no other hotel...this place will do...but if you are looking to stay in a nice place, this isn't the one. I will say that the staff members that I came across were cordial and efficient. Also, if you want to use the computer in the lobby ...its dial up, slow as could be and you are limited to 20 minutes.

Hello, Thank you for you stay and your feedback. I am sorry to hear that our hotel did not meet your expectations. Please contract me directly, as I would like to know the room number of your stay, to address some of your concerns for the next guest. Thank you, Director of Sales

The place was nice and clean. it is simple but very nice.There was a nice indoor pool, and shopping if you needed anything. Very pretty area close by and not far from Boston. It was quite, staff was pleasant. The breakfast was more then I expected, very good and I am picky. They have coffee in the reception area and the beds are comfortable.

Hi Clare, Thank you so much for your stay and your lovely review. We are very pleased to have provided you with clean and comfortable accommodations with a better than expected complimentary breakfast. We hope to see you again in the future. Best regards, Director of Sales

After reading so many negative reviews (and after a nightmare of a motel experience the night before in another state), DH and I were concerned after booking this through Hotwire. This is a very nice property! We had not a single problem and would stay here again with no qualms. Mattress was firm, property is well maintained, walking distance to a 99 Pub, staff is friendly. It was a nice stay - and we stayed there three nights. The only "negative" part was a soccer team staying there our last night and there was no way to get to breakfast the last morning. Those hungry young guys were not interested in letting other folks get to the food right away. We simply walked across the street to a McDonald's and had something equally unhealthy to what we might have had at the hotel. : ) There are a couple steps between the lobby and getting to the rooms. That might present a problem to some folks. There is a shopping center across the street. Marshalls is one of the stores. We do not have a Marshalls near us, so I had an hour of shopping fun. Unless we had some strangely unique experience, my advice is to ignore the negative reviews.

Beds comfy and spotless, as were the towels. Location great, right off I495, exit 49..Rooms large, great breakfast, friendly staff. Just 6 hours from Canadian Border at St. Stephen/Calais and 7.5 hours from Niagara Falls, New York.
