Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its prime location under a mile from the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, you can walk to the show and skip the parking hassle.

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (or recover from your night) with the hotel’s complimentary breakfast. While there's no on-site restaurant, the suites’ kitchenettes make late-night snacks easy, and there are several good dining options a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have an on-site bar, you're just a quick trip away from local bars and lounges near the Pavilion. Prefer to keep it low-key? The hotel’s outdoor hot tub under the stars might just be your perfect nightcap.

What People Say

Guests love the convenient location for concerts, the helpful staff, and the clean, spacious rooms. The indoor and outdoor pools get consistent praise, and many appreciate the quiet setting and scenic views after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury resort, so décor and furnishings are a bit dated—but still clean and functional. If you're looking for all-night dining or a buzzing bar scene, you'll need to venture off-property.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a show at the Pavilion and want a comfortable, convenient, and affordable place to stay, Fireside Inn & Suites Gilford hits all the right notes.
