Comfortable room, but the walls and doors are thin. Was woken up several times by people in the halls. Our room could also use a high cleaning.

You can never go wrong choosing a Holiday Inn Express. This one in Keene, NH was conveniently located, clean, and has plenty of parking. They offer a hot buffet breakfast which is very nice. The staff were all very professional and helpful especially Dylan the night manager. My only disappointment was the gym was closed for renovations.
