Bare bones motel with clean rooms and friendly owners. Great spot if you just need a place to crash after a day in the Whites.

Very cozy cottage to stay in, even though it's outdated. Heat was working great, could feel draft near the window, but still was warm during the sleep. Few things to improve: to have stainfree bed cover, as it seemed someone either spilled something or who knows what else. Bathroom sink had pieces of hair, seemed like after shave it wasn't rinsed. We were also asked to leave before 11am because worker was traveling. If it was mentioned on our day of arrival, I wouldn't mind, and would be very considering. But just knocking on a door on a day of the departure and rushing us to leave right the way was not pleasant.

The room was clean, the staff was courteous and the motel was quite. This is the second year in a row that I stayed at the Franconia Notch Motel and the reason I returned was because I was so happy with my stay last year. It is conveniently located near many area attractions. I will stay here again when I am in the area.

People should not stay here! We stayed in a cottage. It looked nice initially, even with the dated furniture but then we realized the couch was really junk, and it sagged terribly. We saw a space heater was heating the cottage. That's awful because it didn't keep the place warm. We tried turning it up but it wouldn't go higher. We froze all night and in the morning. Then when I used a hair dryer, the circuit tripped and we had no power, so no heat. Nobody was available to fix anything. Stay at your own risk!

The room wasn't very clean. There was a spiderweb in the corner, and the room was overall very dusty. Some hair in the tub, and the sink took forever to drain. The water pressure was great, and the beds were fine. Thin comforters that looks like they haven't been washed in a while.
