We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Dover. There's also another Choice Hotels brand across the street from it too. They're both about a 10 minute drive away.
There is a Days Inn within very easy walking distance. Less then 5 min, can see the mill building from hotel. There is a BnB on Silver st and a hotel a bit further down. Both are walkable at about 15 - 20 min. Everything else is driving distance of under 15 min if you go North into Somersworth or West into Durham.
