Fireside isn’t a shiny new luxurious property but the staff is super friendly and helpful w suggestions which pushes our rating to 5 stars. We were visiting to attend a concert and location is ideal. Beds are comfortable, “grab and go” breakfast gets the job done, and room was quiet

Hospitality & Humanity!!

Brought my teenage son to Gilford for DMB and we stayed at this hotel as it's walking distance to Bank of NH Pavilion. We had a 1 bdrm suite which was very spacious. Full kitchen with dining room table, pull out couch in living room. We left some DMB posters in the room when we checked out, I was sure they had dissappeared forever. I called the front desk and the manager was so accomodating. She tracked the posters down with house keeping and sent them back to me via USPS. Would definitely stay again!

This is the best place to stay to see a concert at Meadowbrook. It's clean, beds are comfortable, staff is very friendly and Patrick's Restaurant is across the street. They should however change their checkout time from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Way too early check-out time when you can't check-in until 4:00 pm. I enjoyed my stay and would book again. Enjoyed playing some of the board games they had in the breakfast room.

I will recommend this hotel as a place to stay if visiting the area. Everything was exceptional. The only complaint would be the smell of our room. It was obviously a smoking room previously, as soon as you open the door the stale cigarette smoke odor was prevalent. There was a burn in the carpet between the beds as well. Not much aside from renovating the whole room & air ducts would fix that. It is now a no smoking facility, much appreciate that! The beds were comfortable, the room was clean & quiet. It had a nice little balcony, too! I need to give a shout out to the overnight front desk attendant, Faith. What a terrific lady! She went above & beyond. Dealing with all of the concert goers, keeping a friendly demeanor no matter what the circumstances. There were a few of us in the lobby for quite a while, visiting & getting food. She interacted with us & gave advice on delivery options for take out. Faith is definitely an asset to Fireside Inn & Suites Beautiful pool area, indoor & out. Easily accessible. There is shopping close, restaurant & it's within walking distance to the concert venue for those who are able. We had a great trip, I will stay again 😁
