"We booked NH city centre on a whim based on its location. We were delightfully surprised at what a wonderful stay we had and in fact , extended our stay there because they were so helpful. So welcoming, clean rooms and common areas. And extra treats like free Brita water, and sour candies. We took advantage of both and enjoyed that little extra thoughtfulness. We especially want to commend Elena. She observed us coming in, engaged us in conversation, gave us great recommendations. We looks for her each day and really appreciated how well she took care of us, throughout our stay. We would highly recommmend NH CITY CENTRE for a perfect location and a very comfortable, welcoming stay! Also the woman who greeted the breakfast crowd- I did not catch her name. She was delightful!! So warm, remembered people, accommodating and helpful in assisting guests with the breakfast area."
