The largest is Boston, MA-NH, with 499 establishments (a multi-state area; its count covers every state it spans).

43.1% of New Hampshire's hotels and motels with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 30.9% nationally. 57.2% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

Calls a hotel in New Hampshire has to catch
