Yes the room is a little rough bit the stay was quiet and cozy, the staff was nice and helpful. Can’t wait to go back!
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's an older property but appropriately priced. Accommodation in general is expensive in the area and this is one of the more affordable options. The hot water and AC work well, the rooms are clean. I have stayed here several times when I drive up to do day hikes in the area.
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good place to rest head for a couple nights, not much to do there but plenty surrounding the property. Nice owners and clean enough

Love this place, well kept rooms, the ownership oozes hospitality. Having stayed here 5 plus times, they never disappoint.
Joseph, 2-night trip

No frills accommodation, definitely worth the price. Clean room great staff in the office in an overall great location.
Jim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My work brings me to Lincoln New Hampshire on a regular basis, and the Franconia Notch motel is my preferred choice. Always polite check-in, clean rooms every time, and their rates are consistently reasonable.

Joseph, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay

This was a very comfortable stay. Clean, quiet, and easily accessible as well. The TV didn't have volume when I turned it on but after I told the office the manager came right away, did a restart of the device, and it worked again. I was able to park right next to my room and I liked how the motel looked on the outside, too. It's a short, simple drive into town while being removed from any distractions. The price is right, too, and the manager friendly. I would gladly stay again.
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Franconia Lodge Motel is my go-to. Convenient location and picnic tables and fire pits right on the river.
Michael, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Rachel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

When we entered the room, it had an almost suffocating odor similar to the odor of other low-cost motels. This odor, however, would not go away, even with three windows open. The day after we left, I put on a short that I had worn in that room. It still stank of that room. The bed was comfortable, the water was hot and plentiful, but I will never go there again.
Tom, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

nice place
Bruce, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A perfectly fine if old and a bit dingy. Fine for a place to crash between hikes. Can walk to a decent restaurant, just 5 minutes down the road. On a branch of the Pemi River, kids could play in it. Water low so would be very safe. I spent a half hour fly fishing, caught several small native brook trout. Shower could have been cleaner, bed was clean and comfortable.
Rodney, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay. Third time to stay here and will again.
blaine, 1-night trip

Was pleasantly surprised with house nice the room was. Enjoyed the nice river in back of motel! Close to Clark's trading post!
stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay here, it was very clean, the beds were very comfortable. Also liked that it was right by the river. Very peaceful area. Would definitely come again. Thank you.
Susan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The bathroom was so dirty
Lissette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
