Fireside Inn & Suites Gilford

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the suite with a full kitchenette. Kitchenette was fully equipped with nice size fridge, diswasher and anything you need to make and serve a meal. Living room was very roomy and had pull out couch, dinning table, comfy chairs, TV. Closet in the hallway can be handy for bigger families and longer stays. Bedroom was big enough with king size comfy bed, another huge closet and TV. We had a balcony overlooking mountain. Bathroom was on the smaller size but had a plenty of counter space, extra towels. I was impressed with towel quality and snow white cleanliness. Property have nice indoor and outdoor pools and well maintained grounds. We didn't need any assistance from staff, but very pleased to be greeted by very friendly receptionists upon arrival. Great location too, minutes from nice parks, Weirs beach, other local beaches, hiking paths plus fantastic restaurants all around and only an hours drive to the White Mountains. We will definitely stay there again."
