Room was clean and spacious. AC kept the room cold during a very hot and humid day. Great value for the money. If you are used to a 5 Star Hotel with a ton of amenities, then this isn't you're type of place. Close to Franconia Notch Park and the downtown area.

Great vaule old fashioned motel
Old fashioned motel that was very clean and comfortable. Great location to all the tourist places we wanted to do and see. Great value for the money as long as you understand you're not getting a luxury room and bath. Janice was very welcoming and helpful.

Kate's
Clean, quite, convenient, and appropriately priced. Nice friendly family oriented staff. Does not have all the amenities of a large chain hotel. Would certainly stay again.

Great place, I would stay here again. Older motel, but everything was clean and everything worked. The rooms are larger than newer hotels. Hotel staff was nice when I called and during check-in. You won't beat the price!

room was spacious, clean and quiet. A mini fridge would have been helpful to cool our drinks for the next day's trip.
A/C worked well, thanks!

My girlfriend like it a lot . It clean , spacious and everything old. But very clean. I like that it was very inexpensive. It grew on me and I would stay here again. She absolutely loved it. The WiFi was not powerful enough to reach our room but it was very charming and not corporate looking at all.

The check in was really quick and lady was really nice. This place is "old school" and quirky! The rooms were not updated but were clean and beds were comfortable and showers were hot. The room was just as big or not bigger then some chain hotels. I loved the older tiles in the bathroom. Convient off the highway in a quiet part of town. No pool or breakfast, but our room did have an electric kettle and coffee, tea, hot chocolate were provided minus coffee cups, we had our Yetis. The only complaint was the window AC was old and noisy if you put it higher then 2.
