What guests think

At Top Notch Inn, guests consistently praise spotless rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient in-town location near restaurants and outdoor activities, while some note traffic noise in road-facing rooms and occasional hot tub or shade issues.

Amenities like the pool, hot tub, courtyard grills and fire pit, EV charging, and laundry are appreciated, though a few reports cite hot tub or pool cleanliness/temperature problems and limited fire-pit hours. Rooms are generally modern and comfortable with fridges and microwaves, but roadside units can be noisy, some window shades let in light, and a few guests found beds or HVAC too firm, soft, or loud. There is no real on-site breakfast, yet several dining options are an easy walk, including a restaurant next door. Expect a well-kept, no-frills motor-inn base for exploring the White Mountains.

Cleanliness was fine. The room had recently been renovated. Coffee maker OK. But no tea bags or decaf coffee. Also, despite strips on the bottom of the tub, it was quite slippery when we took our shower. And no handicap grab bars - especially important for visitors in their 70s like us. We drive a full-size pickup truck and parking - especially with all the ATVs in the lot - was tight. Person at check in was professional and pleasant. For the cost of the room, we expected more upscale features in the room. Lots of TV channels - but PBS wasn't on the list.

right on the road so trucks were omnipresent with their rumbling through town, but I think any hotel in this area will have that issue. needed shades on the windows to block out daylight. Mattress felt way to soft. Desk clerk was terrific. also one of the only hotels we've come across with a car charger

Rooms

Rooms are modern and comfortable with useful extras like fridges and microwaves. Downsides recur for some: traffic or neighbor noise in road-facing rooms, light-leaking shades, and occasional loud HVAC or mattress comfort issues; mountain-view upgrades sometimes disappoint.

The room was nice and looked to be updated. The mattress was clean but very soft and sunken in, needed replaced. We had a room upstairs and had to carry our items. No elevator! And no luggage carts to transport luggage from our vehicle to room. Had to park across parking lot next to pool and our room was above the office. Staff was very friendly at checkin. We would stay here again as long as it was a ground floor room.

We did not notice that this room was a roadside room. It is only about 20 feet from a highway and the traffic noise made it very difficult to rest. We will have to check twice on Expedia room descriptions in the future. Of course if I had seen this description I am not sure I would have figured that it was so close to the highway. Additionally the manager was very good about offering us a complimentary upgrade to a “quieter” room but it was only 50 feet from the highway so we declined since it meant moving all of our luggage.

I appreciate that the motel refunded me for the night I didn't stay, however I didn't like that I was made to feel uncomfortable at the establishment. The mattresses at this motel were extremely uncomfortable. And despite paying extra for a mountain view, THERE IS NO Mountain view. The couple next door smoked right outside their rooms so there goes your ability sitting outside your room in a smoke free environment. Restaurants in the area close at 8pm during tourist season.

Although the room was super clean the window shades did very little to mask the breezeway lights. The eco-friendly toilet had to be flushed several times to flush normal tp usage. The bed was very firm and for me it was uncomfortable others might enjoy it though. Great restaurants were within walking distance! There was plenty of parking and the proprietor was very pleasant!

Kelly was very helpful in front office when I was trying to locate a trailhead for the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail out of Gorham towards Gilead, ME. She put me on the right track. Stayed 2 nights in King room on street side next to J’s Corner Restaurant. Room was great but…no convenient parking on Top Notch Inn lot. Had to park across street in lot owned by J’s Restaurant. Place is a restaurant and bar. I didn’t feel comfortable parking there with my Trek bike on back of my car and with it being a bar. Moved my car around the Top Notch office side to Inn’s parking lot for safety & security even though it was inconvenient. The King room on the street is unbelievably noisy being right on the street. Motorcycles and ATV’s roaring by until about 9:00pm each night I stayed there. I would stay at Top Notch again…but not in the King room on the street. Way too noisy.

Breakfast was poor and I have had much better breakfast options in franchise motels. They call it breakfast in their advertising but use the term breakfast snacks when you get there and it definitely was just snacks. The breakfast area was also too cramped so that could be why they can only offer ‘snacks’ in that little space. Sink in our bathroom had been cracked previously and someone had tried to repair it with brown grout which was a bit off putting. Our stay had started off so well as the Receptionist at check-in was awesome and even welcomed us with a glass of champagne but the rest of our experience was only average.
