Hilton Garden Inn Manchester Downtown

Spent Thursday to Saturday on a pleasure trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We had dinner one night and breakfast both Friday and Saturday morning. The meals were fine and filling. If you are going to a show nearby there is a shuttle bus available. I plan to stay there again.

Just when you thought you’d seen it all- it’s a hotel with a baseball stadium! Firstly, keep in mind this is NOT a 5 star property, it’s a 3. However, it exceeded many 5 star properties where we have stayed. The hotel was spotless, check-in was a breeze and the rooms were what you’d expect (plus comfy beds!). The fact that you can watch The Fisher Cats baseball games both from your ROOM, outside on their restaurant patio, or a 3 min walk away in the stadium was beyond cool…especially for our two kids. For $20 a ticket you can sit row 2 and experience a minor league game that puts on an impressive show. If you’re traveling thru the area- check the cats schedule and take a night to stay and catch a game.

The Good: Very friendly and accommodating staff at the front desk. Convenient location, and unique baseball field view from rooms and restaurant. The Not-So-Good: Dated decor, lumpy bed with old-fashioned wire innerspring mattress, ill-fitting linens. The Very Bad: The room was very moist. The carpets were damp. The bed linens were damp. The bath linens were damp. Everything was damp. Based on my allergic reaction (congestion, etc) I can only assume there was mold somewhere. I asked for a different room, and was promptly accommodated. Sadly, the second room had the same problem. It must be that the room AC units don't handle humidity well. The hallways were not damp... (July 1-2, 2025. Rooms 618 & 620)

I recently stayed 1 night at the Hilton Garden Inn Manchester and it was a good option for my trip. I was in town to go to the Fisher Cats baseball game, and when I saw the hotel was at the ballpark I knew this would be the winner. If you're here for a game, this is definitely the way to go, it's just steps from the ballpark entrance. I booked a ballpark view room, which was also fun. My room was a bit dated, but it was clean. Parking was pretty tight, I arrived on a weekend afternoon and got one of the last open spots in the lot. There was a concert at the nearby arena that night, so I doubt many of these cars were going anywhere. The hotel might have a place nearby to direct cars when the lot gets full, but this is something to keep in mind in case you arrive later. I had some food and drinks at the outdoor lobby bar, the bartenders were nice and the food was good.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to fairly review this stay. Let me start by saying that the front desk staff were incredibly attentive and warm, as well as responsive. I spent close to $1200 to stay here for three nights. When I got there, there was some trash, including latex gloves in my room. No big deal, I’m not too fussy and people make mistakes, so I tossed the trash. I went to eat at the Patio and even though there were like half a dozen staff hanging around, and not many diners, the service was horrendously slow. The food was overpriced and frankly just kind of gross overall. The real issue was when my youngest daughter (3yrs) found not one, but TWO used, unsheathed syringes in our hotel room. Luckily we responded quickly, and as I said hotel staff was incredibly responsive, but that should literally never happen. Skip the hotel restaurants, they’re just not worth it, super nasty food (except the desserts). Even with a meal and a night comped, we still spent over 1k on this stay, which is way too much for what the experience was. Unfortunate.

I wish we were at Hilton Garden Inn in Manchester, NH for more than one night. We loved it! The shuttle service to the downtown area was fantastic! We are planning to return for a longer stay.
