A terrific budget accommodation for families just outside downtown Exeter, the Hampton Inn is located right next door to a shopping center with many stores and restaurants. The hotel also has a pool and fitness center. Historic downtown Exeter and Phillips Exeter Academy are just a 15-minute walk down the street. The hotel offers a hot breakfast buffet, as well as “grab and go” breakfast bags for those on the run.

The rooms are decorated in a pleasing palette of blue, white and beige, and some offer two comfy queen beds for families. If you need more space, the hotel has several roomy suites with two queens behind a divider and a pullout sofa bed in the living area. The rooms all have 37-inch televisions, fluffy towels, microwave and mini-fridge.
