Dated but clean and comfortable.

It’s very dated and a little chilly during the winter. But I just need a few overnight stays to ski so I wasn’t looking for luxury. Very clean and comfortable. I’d stay here again for sure. However not sure my wife would.

It is one of the least expensive options , rooms are of reasonable size, with operational appliances ( Tv, coffee machine, microwave) internet is good. Convenient location for hikes in Franconia notch, walking distance to Indian head trail, 5 min drive to Lincoln and Kancamagus scenic highway. Stayed in other properties in the past but this lodging quality/ price is excellent.

Would not stay again

The room was just ok. I questioned the cleanliness of the beds. It’s very outdated and needs some TLC. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Needed a place to stay after a long travel night and this was perfect. Owner went out of his way to make sure I had what I needed even with a late arrival. Room was as expected for the price. Will look here again next time I'm in the area.

I found multiple hairs in the bathtub. The room smells like bleach. That's never a good sign. The bed smells like stale sex. Wouldn't be staying if it weren't for the impending storm. Wouldn't recommend for the price.
