Best Hotels near Earl G. Legacy Park - Hawkins Field, Bedford

We were lucky to get a room for the night during this leaf-peeping season. I called the 800 number and was quoted a 2 queen bed room for $279, prepaid. Luckily when we got there, it was NOT prepaid and we were happy to pay only $165. However, the room was not terribly clean: there were crumbs and light debris in all the room corners and extreme dust and food debris underneath the microwave. The toilet seat was broken (completely detached on one side), the microwave didn't work, and the TV in the room had serious issues when the desk agent tried to turn it on for us. Parking was great and the queen beds were comfortable. The fitness center was dirty, neither the TV nor the clock worked, the trash was full, and there was no water. I used to work for a 7-star resort in Jackson, Wyoming so I was horrified to learn that hotel staff (namely 2 male housekeepers) lived on-site and could use the fitness center, but they obviously did not notice the cleanliness or condition situations in the hotel.

When I landed at midnight in the middle of May to stay in Manchester for the summer for work, I had no idea what to expect since I had never been before. The shuttle driver from the hotel who picked me up that night from the airport was Adrian. He was very kind and instantly made me feel comfortable moving to a new city for the summer with his light-hearted conversation. He told me about some solid restaurants that the hotel shuttle's 2 mile radius covers and I've tried most of them, not disappointed in any of the recommendations. Another really nice driver who brings a spark to my day is Mike. Over the past two months I've had a pleasant time staying at the hotel (kudos to their always resourceful front desk) but what I especially cherish are the friendships I've made with Adrian and Mike. It's almost a ritual at this point to greet Adrian after work every day when he comes to pick me up from my office. He always asks how my day was and is seldom late. I have just over a month remaining at this hotel and I'm glad I chose this place, although keep in mind that the shuttle is shared by 4 hotels near the airport area so you'll get a chance to meet Adrian, Mike, and all the other jovial shuttle drivers if you stay at any one of those.

We needed to travel on family business at the beginning of July. We were concerned about COVID but New Hampshire had (still has) one of the lowest infection rates in the country. Upon check-in we had to self-certify that we had not experienced any symptoms in the last 2 weeks and that we had self-isolated ourselves during that time prior to travel. The was needed since we were from out of state. Check-in was simple and contactless. The front desk was very friendly and helpful answer several question we had on arriving. The room was as expected of a property operating under Marriott umbrella. We had 2 full sized beds, mini fridge, coffee maker, dresser, closet, safe and comfortably sized bathroom. The beds were so comfortable that upon arriving home we went the the Fairfield web site and purchased a complete bed with the linens used in the hotel. We both have pain in our back and I've had multiple surgeries so finding a bed which allows us to sleep the night is unusual and we take advantage of offers like this when we can. Anyone who has bout a new bed and regretted the purchase the following week can understand the advantage to testing the bed in a hotel for several nights prior to spending the money. One thing I really liked was the location. We need to take care of some family business during our time in NH and this hotel worked out fantastically for us. It was close to the Manchester Airport and at the intersection of I-93 and I-293 supplying quick access to other parts of the state. Check-out was a matter of dropping off the room keys as we walked out on our way back to the airport. We'd definitely stay here again should the need arise to return to the area.

I change my mind about this hotel I was at work and when I came back to the hotel they had kicked my girlfriend out for something she had nothing to do with! So I will never come back to this hotel again!

Myself, my wife and our two friends came to NH for my wife’s 40th birthday. Our stay couldn’t have been better. Upon arriving we were greeted by Gabriella and Michelle. Both were absolutely amazing and made the check in process easy and quick. I met Pilr from housekeeping the next day after needing a hair dryer and toothbrush. She was very accommodating and helpful and had the items quickly sent to our room. During breakfast we had Margaret as our waitress. She was very attentive and helpful. We were looking for places to go and she rattled off a list of places and gave us so many good ideas. We really appreciated her help. She was amazing! Overall our stay was incredible. Thank you to the entire staff for maintaining a great experience during still difficult times.

Great pick for a simple getaway! This is our second time in the area, we previously stayed at the Hampton Inn but our experience at Clarion Inn was better, and cheaper all around. The big selling point for me was the price and fact that it was recently renovated. We stayed for two nights, Tuesday July 5 to 7th and had zero issues overall. We checked in late and there was no wait, the hotel felt empty. Our room was 254 which is a corner unit on the second floor and easily accessible from the outside. At first I thought this was a bad sign that we had to reach our room from outside stairs but this was actually a shortcut and made coming in and out a lot easier. We were able to park just steps away from the door. The lobby was clean and presentable, staff was friendly. The room was nice and modern. Bathroom had a large shower instead of a tub and huge counter for the sink which I enjoyed. Bed doesn't seem to have a new mattress, it felt soft and sunken in at times, but the furniture, tv, carpeting and everyhting else in our room was modern. I asked for some extra shampoo at one point and the girl at the front counter was so nice, she offered me extra items if I wanted - they have everything in stock free of charge if ever you need deodorant, toothpaste, toobrushes, shower caps, etc, feel free to ask! Since we stayed on weekdays the entire property felt empty, I think we came across just two other guests during our stay. No noise at night, no noise in hallways - it was amazing. When we were there, the complimentary breakfast was pretty basic, there's coffee, juices, milk, yogourt, some fruits, cereal, muffins/granola bars and a pancake and waffle maker. The pancake maker was really cool, since it is an automated machine. Just place a plate under and with the push of a button, 2 pancackes will be made fresh and rolled out for you. I wish there were hot food items like eggs, sausage or bacon, but I guess with covid and with how empty the hotel was during our stay, it might not make sense to offer these items. (I recently read that the hotel does offer these hot breakfast items, but maybe just on weekends??) My suggestion would be to have at least some hard boiled eggs, these could be kept in the same fridge as the yogourt and can stay good for a few days so it would reduce waste (as opposed to scrambled eggs/omelettes). Note that there is a 99 restaurant located on this property so if ever you want to order something quick for lunch or supper, it's super convenient. I would come back, great value and great experience as a whole.

Had a great 2 night stay! Super comfy mattress and large bathroom! Conveniently close next door to diner!

Lovely check in. Clean and comfy room. Awoke for an early flight and elevators are out. Called for help and none to be found (didn’t check on my needs or care). I had a hip replacement and have some other mobility needs. I mentioned this is horrible and she didn’t care! They have the list of who is taking the airport shuttle so a call to warn me would have helped! But no service at all. Did finally get to check out. Expressed my dismay politely. She indicated the previous group yelled at her (I was there, they did not). Told me all about how they can’t fizz it for two days - I said don’t put anyone with mobility challenges on upper floors - she said they don’t have anyone. I held up my cane to make my point. Oh! No apology. More excuses for no help and went on to share no one wants to work, workers aren’t trained, no time to go through the videos. I let her twang about “her” and “workers” then responded “and do you know what that means for customers?” She clearly did not care. I was making sure my bill was clear (it was a redemption night). I had a charge. She didn’t explain it to me. Told me to call them later. Seriously!! And she again pointed out the lack of training. So it’s on me. This was pitiful! 5 of the 5 people checking out had issues that were not handled well. Not impressed! The one employee does matter! And I don’t think any of us will be back.

Booked two nights here based on the reviews and the rate. We felt the rate was very good considering the area. The property is close to the highway, but not too close to create noise. The hotel was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Every staff person we encountered was pleasant, friendly and helpful. There was a full breakfast, which many of the Choice properties are not offering lately. At first it was because of covid, now it feels like it’s to cut costs. The breakfast area was immaculate. I really can’t say enough good things about this property.
