Derry Hotels: Where to Stay in New Hampshire

Hotels in Derry, New Hampshire are hard to find. Derry is the fourth largest municipality in the state, yet we could not confirm a single hotel or motel with a Derry street address. Every directory we checked listed lodging in the towns around Derry instead. This guide explains where to stay in Derry, NH, names the closest hotels we could verify, and shows how to choose a base for Robert Frost Farm and the Derry Rail Trail. We also drop several properties from our older version of this page, because we could not find them in Derry. Rates change daily, so we do not quote them.

Where to Stay in Derry, NH

The Honest Answer on Hotels in Derry, NH

Derry sits in Rockingham County in southern New Hampshire. Wikipedia places the town about 12 miles southeast of Manchester and about 16 miles northwest of Lawrence, Massachusetts. Interstate 93 crosses the southwest corner of town but has no exit inside Derry. Routes 28, 102, 111 and 121 serve the town itself.

We checked Kayak, Reservations.com, Hotel Guides and several booking sites. None listed a hotel with a Derry address. Kayak even labeled its results as Derry hotels, yet every address was in another town. Some listings named a Best Western Hampshire Inn as a Derry area motel, but only one directory mentioned the name and none gave a street address. We could not confirm the property, so we do not recommend the name.

Small guesthouses and short term rentals may operate in town. We could not verify any of them from two independent sources. If you want a stay inside Derry, search a rental site and confirm every detail with the host before you pay.

Hotels Near Derry, NH: Your Best Base

The best hotels near Derry sit in Londonderry, Manchester, Salem and Merrimack. Directory sites list distances from Derry in miles. Londonderry is the closest at about 3 miles. The Manchester airport hotels sit around 7 miles away. Salem lies roughly 8 to 9 miles away. Treat these figures as directory estimates and check your own route before you book.

Garner Hotel Londonderry, Formerly Sleep Inn

This is the closest verified hotel to Derry. The address is 72 Perkins Road, Londonderry, NH 03053. Hotel Guides and Reservations.com both list the property under the Sleep Inn name, and Expedia now lists the hotel as Garner Hotel Londonderry, Manchester by IHG. Older sites still show the Sleep Inn name, so search both names.

Expedia gives check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. The listing names a free continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free parking, a fitness center, a 24-hour front desk and an on-site laundry room. Guests also get access to an adjacent 27-hole golf course with tee times by reservation.

The listing says dogs are allowed, with one pet per stay. Guests must be 21 or older to check in. The listing also says the hotel takes bookings only from non-local guests, which matters if you live nearby. A meetings directory gives the phone number as 603-425-2110 and counts 99 rooms on three floors. We found this phone number on one directory only, so confirm the number before you rely on the listing.

Manchester Airport Hotels Near Derry

Many travelers who fly into Manchester-Boston Regional Airport use the hotels along Perimeter Road, Huse Road, Brown Avenue and South Porter Street. Directory sites list Courtyard by Marriott at 700 Huse Road, TownePlace Suites at 686 Huse Road, Homewood Suites by Hilton at 1000 Perimeter Road, Fairfield Inn by Marriott at 860 South Porter Street and Holiday Inn Express and Suites at 1298 South Porter Street.

Two lower cost options appear in the same area. Super 8 by Wyndham sits at 2301 Brown Avenue, and Holiday Inn is at 2280 Brown Avenue. Both Hotel Guides and Reservations.com list these addresses. Wikipedia names Manchester-Boston Regional Airport as the closest airport to Derry, so this cluster suits early flights and late arrivals.

Motels Near Derry, NH

Motels are scarce around Derry. Reservations.com tags Super 8 in Manchester and Econo Lodge at 75 West Hancock Street in Manchester as motels. Reservations.com also tags Park View Inn at 109 South Broadway in Salem as a motel. Motel 6 in Nashua appears as well, at 2 Progress Avenue.

Kayak and Reservations.com both list Park View Inn in Salem. We did not find the motel’s own site, so we rate the details as thinly confirmed. Call before you go, and ask about the current name, room types and parking.

Hotels in Salem and Merrimack

Salem sits on the Massachusetts border near Interstate 93. Hotel Guides lists Red Roof Inn at 15 Red Roof Lane, Holiday Inn at 1 Keewaydin Drive and La Quinta Inn and Suites at 8 Keewaydin Drive. Kayak also lists The Artisan at Tuscan Village, a Tribute Portfolio hotel, in Salem.

Merrimack lies to the west. Directories list Quality Inn at 242 Daniel Webster Highway, Holiday Inn Express and Suites at 4 Amherst Road and Extended Stay America at 2 Executive Park Drive. Hotel Guides puts these about 9 miles from Derry.

Another Option: Atkinson Resort and Country Club

The resort stands at 85 Country Club Drive, Atkinson, NH 03811. Our older page claimed a stay here for nature lovers, and the resort does exist. Expedia and a meetings directory both list the address. Both mention a 27-hole golf course, and Merrill’s Tavern and Stagecoach Grille appear on both pages.

Expedia lists check-in from 3:00 PM, check-out before 11:00 AM and a minimum check-in age of 21. The meetings directory gives 603-362-8700 and counts only 16 guest rooms. Expedia says pets are not allowed, which contradicts our old claim of a dog park. We did not source a distance from Derry, so check your route. Call the resort to confirm rooms and policies.

Places We Dropped From Our Old Guide

Our older page listed five properties. We checked each one and cut the ones we could not place in Derry.

The Birchwood Inn is real, but Wikipedia places the inn at 340 NH 45 in Temple, New Hampshire. Temple is not Derry. The Bedford Village Inn is also real. A New England magazine review gives its address as 2 Olde Bedford Way in Bedford, yet the review dates from 2009, so we cannot confirm its current lodging. We could not find a Derry motel named Red Arrow Diner and Motel. We found no source for a Book Nook Inn and Bar in Derry either. We removed both. Treat any listing for these names with caution.

The old page also described a Derry Rail Trail walk beside a motel and an in-room record player at a boutique inn. We found no source for either claim, so we cut them.

Hotels Near Robert Frost Farm and Other Sights

Robert Frost Farm Historic Site sits at 122 Rockingham Road in Derry. The poet lived on the farm from 1900 to 1911, and the site is a National Historic Landmark. New Hampshire State Parks lists guided house tours, a walking trail and poetry readings.

How to Choose Among Hotels in Derry, NH

Start with your arrival point. Fly into Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and the Perimeter Road hotels save the most travel time. Drive down Interstate 93 and Salem gives you a quick highway stop. Want the shortest trip into Derry? Pick Garner Hotel Londonderry.

Next, look at the policies. Garner allows dogs, and the Atkinson listing says pets are not allowed. Both hotels above require guests to be 21 or older at check-in. Bring a photo ID and the card used to book.
