Nous avons resté 1 nuit et c’était très bien. Installations assez vieilles mais relativement bien entretenues. Le seul bémol a été notre lavabo de la salle de bain qui était bouché!

The motel was filthy and there was no service. My friend and myself reported the motel To Franconia Board of health due to both of use being exposed to Scabies which is a highly contagious condition. I would like to be reimbursed for this stay in full. You should remove this motel from your site so no one else experiences what we have!!!!

The staff member in the office was friendly and immediately available. There were clean towels provided each day and the shower was hot. Apart from that I cannot say anything positive. The building is in a state of disrepair. The room was damp - I awoke with tight lungs. This place needs fixing up. I'm shocked that Expedia have this motel available - I always trust Expedia, but will be using another website from now on.

I really liked the one bedroom cabin. It was nice to have a living room to relax in after a long hike. It could definitely use some updates to the furniture as it was pretty worn looking.

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.
