Exciting July Events!

Well the 4th of July has come and gone and here we are approaching another sweltering and humid weekend. Yes, sweltering and humid have similar names but once you live in New England you'll understand the necessity for both adjectives.

Personally, I had a fantastic 4th of July Weekend. The hotel was booked solid and we had guests from all over the world staying here! Being the closest hotel to the Beach has its benefits too. Not including the 200 hotels on the beach that are sold out every weekend. We're always available and have plenty of cool and Air Conditioned rooms available so check us out before you make that reserveration elsewhere. We're just a short 6 miles from the beach too!

Also....The Annual Stratham Fair is coming up in a few weeks and we urge you all to make your room reservation now. We'll be filling up so make sure to get your room reservation as soon as possible. From there we're just a short 2-3 mile drive and you're at the fair in less than 5 minutes! Keep checking here for information on the fair. We may even be able to score some tickets too!

Exeter High School, my alma mater. Or however that expression goes, it is just a year under a decade that I graduated from you and moved on into the great blue yonder that is this world. You may be just graduating and moving on to college, the military or the civilian lifestyle, but before you know it, you too will be forced with the prospect of your 10 year high school reunion.

So enjoy it while you can, and hope that by the time your 10 Year Reunion rolls around, you'll have a sweet Porsche or BMW you can drive to said event and impress everyone from your highschool. That's what I'll be doing, renting a porsche. Nobody has to know I don't own it....and if the rental plates are from a different state, tell them you own a condo or house in that area. You'll be the king of the reunion! Now just so we're clear, it is never ok to rent, drive, or own a 4 door porsche. If it's an SUV (the Cayenne) that's one thing, but that new 4 door sedan they have is an abomination. So do yourself a favor when your reunion comes around, don't rent the 4 door Porsche Sedan. You'd hate to ruin your grand entrance with a travesty on 4 wheels.

Also, don't bother telling people you invented the Post-It. We've all seen the movie, we know you didn't do it. If you're going to lie about your profession make it something that's easily backed up. Investment banker, trust fund kid, Podiatrist. The easy stuff. If you say podiatrist get ready to look at some feet.

But I digress. It's the time for Celebration and Libation. Congratulations Exeter High School graduates. May the next 10 years of your life bring you happiness, success, and new friends and experiences.

Congratulations to the Local Exeter area graduates!

This weekend marks the Phillips Exeter Academy Graduation for the class of 2010! Soon to follow will be the Exeter High School Graduation. We here at the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Exeter, NH would like to formally congratulate all of you on your hard work, dedication, and committment to success. We wish you all the best in life after highschool, whether it be Military, College, Peace Corps or straight to the work force!

Look at it this way, the best is yet to come. And as the fortune cookie that came with my chinese food tonight says "It is better to be the beak of a hen than the tail of an ox."

Happy Memorial Day!

This is a big Happy Memorial Day to all you armed services individuals out there. From the Exeter Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott we want to thank you for all you do. Both active and inactive duty. I certainly couldn't do it, but you can, and we genuinely appreciate you!

Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial Day Weekend is almost here!

I don't know about you, but man am I glad for all these National Holidays and Special Event weekends! Were we a country bed and breakfast out in the middle of North Dakota, I wouldn't have anything to blog about, except green pastures and the mountains.

But being that we're in a bustling Seacoast Town with all sorts of festivals, holidays and activity going on, there's always something new to discuss!

This coming weekend is the ever anticipated Memorial Day. This is the time of year that most folks open their pools for the summer season, put their boat into the water, and fire up their kegerators to get ready for a good old fashioned shindig. Me, I work! But that's the life in the Hotel Business, and on the plus side, I get to meet all sorts of interesting people from all over the world. You could say we're a small version of the United Nations, right here in Exeter, NH!

All this being said, you should consider making a reservation with us this coming weekend. Our rates are very reasonable and despite the sweltering heat outside, it's a cool 70 degrees inside. Which to be fair, I'm quite thankful for given this shirt and tie get-up I'm sporting.

So visit us online or stop by our hotel!

New Front Desk Agent here at The Hotel!

This week I thought I would bring about a nice change of pace by introducing the latest (and dare I say greatest) addition to our Front Desk Team here at The Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Exeter, NH.

This lovely flower goes by the name of Morgan and you can find her here most evenings of the week and sometimes on the weekend too! She's got a very diversified background and brings a fun level of professionalism and candor to the team. Not only that, she's an absolute laugh riot too!

In only a few weeks time she's mastered our finicky computer system too! Heck it too me about 2 months to get it all down pat and I look like a computer nerd. She did it in less than 14 days. She's more than happy to help out and always has a smile on her face.

We're lucky to have her here with us and we look forward to growing with her too!

Happy Mothers Day!

Mother's Day is here in just 3 more days! I'll be working Sadly, but I do have some flowers en route to mom for her special day...and let me tell you; I avoided the whole roses and carnations scenario. First off, Roses say I love You...and while I do love my Mom, it's not something I find to be appropriate. Secondly, Carnations say "I'm too cheap to get you decent flowers". So this year I went with a tropical bouquet including a few Bird of Paradise flowers and some Purple Lilly's. There's a few other blue and greenish flowers in there too, and let me tell you, it is fantastic. Hell, I'd like to get a bouquet like that!

So this Mother's Day, don't forget to tell your Mom that you love her, you miss her, or that she means something to you.

From all of us here at the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Exeter, NH....Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there!
