What guests think
Franconia Notch Motel is an older, budget-friendly spot with a peaceful riverside setting and convenient access to Lincoln and Franconia Notch, drawing guests who want a simple place to sleep between hikes rather than resort-style amenities.
Many appreciate the fair prices, simple comfort, and views or access to the river. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with repeated reports of dirty bathrooms, odors, and wear, though some guests do find rooms clean. Service is often described as friendly and accommodating, but a few guests reported poor communication or unresolved issues. Expect a basic, no-frills stay focused on location and value.

Such a charming motel. Beautiful stream right behind it with areas to sit and have a fire. Will definitely visit again longer than one night. Close to everything worth visiting.

When you see the room description as river view you can believe it! Most beautiful river out your back window and a stair case out back to go down to the picnic tables to enjoy it. Very peaceful. Rooms are large, this is an older motor lodge but had everything you could want. Staff friendly, room clean, fridge ,close to town and a waterpark. No breakfast included but the price is very affordable and there are several options for food in town.

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.

The manager is accomodating and friendly. The internet went down in the middle of the night. I was doing work and called the front desk. It was a providor issue, but he called them and gave me the etlETA for resumption of service;all at 3:30am. The bathroom was really dirty and the rug was not vacuumed. Other than that, it served its purpose: comfortable bed, warm room, convenient, and inexpensive.

This property is about five miles from the main street of Lincoln NH. It is a quiet road, with several other hotels along the road. What was cool about this motel was it was right next to the Pemigewasset River, so I could hear the water flowing down the river when I had the window open. It was a quiet water flow and helped lure me to sleep. : ) The only drawback to the motel was the wi-fi dropped out a few times during my one night stay. I would recommend this location for short (1 or 2 nights) stay.

This is a very dirty and old property. It has really been run down and needs to be updated and cleaned. The staff did not speak fluent English so it was difficult to get answers to many questions but they were kind. While adjusting the shower head, it broke in my hands. The staff replaced it the same day. The room smelled strongly of mildew and mold. I will not stay here again.

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 property owners were very nice and accommodating to our needs, like checking in past midnight they left the key for us to find. And when it was time to check out we had plans and needed to leave our trailer behind, they let us park their the whole day til we were ready with no complaints. The thing is as nice as they were, the motel was very outdated and dingy. Cracks in the sink and tub. Smelly refrigerator. And it was not clean at all. As a housekeeper myself I might have looked a little too hard. But when u can wipe around the faucet and get the grime up, that means they barely clean. There was dust on all surfaces, it takes time for dust to build this means they don't clean surfaces often. I literally had to deep clean this place before I could go to sleep, u could tell the tip envelope was very old meaning no one has left them a tip which is sad but very justified. I understand u get what u pay for, but the least I would expect is for it to be clean.

I was disappointed with the condition the room was in. Very old and dated. It was not clean, especially the bathroom. We refused to take a shower and the towels should be incinerated. We only stayed one night. The surrounding area is beautiful, but I would rather pay more money and stay somewhere else than ever stay here again.

We have always loved our little getaway’s here and for the price you can’t beat it directly on the Pemi River! However, this stay the bed was outrageously uncomfortable, so much that we woke up with back pain. The satellite TV was problematic, and every time the refrigerator kicked on the tv turned off. The shower had pink mold and around the toilet was disgusting. We made it work but jeeze, some cleaning and upkeep is needed desperately.

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.

The room was relatively quiet, I could walk to dinner at two restaurants, the tv had lots of channels and the WiFi was relatively strong (89/20) for being in a rural area. There was a fridge if you wanted it and plenty of hot water. The downsides were the furniture and bed were a little dated, and the tub seemed to have a lot of wear and tear on it (but seemed clean). Convenient to Franconia Notch SP, especially Flume Gorge, the Basin, and Canon Mountain.

We loved the location of this motel, with a lovely river right behind the rooms. We opened thevwindow so we could hear it. There were lots of guests but we never heard any noise from other rooms. The room was comfortable and clean, except for the bathtub which didn't look clean. This is not a resort. It is a quiet, charming, riverside motel. We recommend!

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.

It was a providor issue, but he called them and gave me the etlETA for resumption of service;all at 3:30am. The bathroom was really dirty and the rug was not vacuumed. Other than that, it served its purpose: comfortable bed, warm room, convenient, and inexpensive.

DO NOT GO HERE! I understand you get what ypu pay for. It was the cheapest motel around, but its definitely not worth the price. They charged me 150 for pet clean up when I did not even have a pet. This place was already dirty before I even checked in. Stain on blanket, mice creeping in the walls at night, tub does not drain. To be honest, I really was not bothered by all this, but when they charged me 150 extra without even talking with me, that is not ok. Called them back to rectify this and the owner kept saying I had a pet cause he found hair. How are they proving that when the motel is dirty? Again, I can understand the confusion with this situation, but what bothered me was the level of poor customer service. DO NOT GO THERE. Pay the extra money to go somewhere else.

The property is in a quieter spot of town away from the congestion in the center. It's also an easy drive to get to downtown Lincoln.

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.

This property is about five miles from the main street of Lincoln NH. It is a quiet road, with several other hotels along the road. What was cool about this motel was it was right next to the Pemigewasset River, so I could hear the water flowing down the river when I had the window open. It was a quiet water flow and helped lure me to sleep. : ) The only drawback to the motel was the wi-fi dropped out a few times during my one night stay. I would recommend this location for short (1 or 2 nights) stay.

The room was relatively quiet, I could walk to dinner at two restaurants, the tv had lots of channels and the WiFi was relatively strong (89/20) for being in a rural area. There was a fridge if you wanted it and plenty of hot water. The downsides were the furniture and bed were a little dated, and the tub seemed to have a lot of wear and tear on it (but seemed clean). Convenient to Franconia Notch SP, especially Flume Gorge, the Basin, and Canon Mountain.

Good location, though not a lot of restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The property overall could benefit from some major updates! It was acceptable for one night, but we didn't even use the shower because it looked grubby. We saw that there was a cleaning service doing the rooms when we were leaving the next day, so I'm sure everything was clean, but the tub really didn't have a good look. It met our basic needs and did give off the old-cabin vibe, but I think an update would make a huge difference.

When you see the room description as river view you can believe it! Most beautiful river out your back window and a stair case out back to go down to the picnic tables to enjoy it. Very peaceful. Rooms are large, this is an older motor lodge but had everything you could want. Staff friendly, room clean, fridge ,close to town and a waterpark. No breakfast included but the price is very affordable and there are several options for food in town.

Just had the basics (no pool, no continental breakfast, etc.) but clean. confortable rooms. Also having a river behind it is nice.

This motel is dated and in need of much uptake. It looks better in the pictures than it actually is. However, it is a nice place to stay.

Microwave didn't get hot - tried popping a bag of popcorn and it did nothing. Other than that, the stay was great.
