Franconia Inn

Overall a really nice stay. Rocky start with having been given 3 different sets of room keys. First room on 3rd floor had someone’s belongings in it. We were given another room but then given keys to a 3rd room before we even got to 2nd. In fairness the hotel is being renovated both inside and out. Room was nice and clean, continental breakfast and pub food were fine and pub had a very good female guitarist and singer for entertainment. I was super impressed with the accommodating restaurant staff and ladies at front desk who checked us out! And convenient to the glider airfield across the road.

Just a relaxing place to stay indeed. Pub downstairs with great food and then leads out back for a pleasant walk on the grounds. Old cemetery across the street for some great reading as well as head stone art from back in the day. Gliders taking off and landing all day was some great watching on the front porch. Horse back riding will take part next time out as well as your tennis courts!! Great stay for us and hopefully be back soon..

My guess is that they spend more money on marketing, and possibly paying folks to remove bad reviews, than they do on maintaining the property. The property is run down with a mud parking lot. The single pane glass window in our bedroom was less than 50’ from the rural road, so you hear every vehicle. There was little traffic at night, but by 5:30 AM there was a steady stream of folks going to work. No independent temperature control in the rooms. They have ancient, noisy radiators. Our room heated up to about 78 each night, forcing you to open the windows…making traffic noise worst. Our "Superior" room was tiny. No place to put a suitcase, except inside the closet, on the floor. No TV in the room. Only two outlets. A tiny bathroom like some travel trailers. The "Lounge" and the restaurant never opened during our stay. We received an email AFTER the cancellation deadline, telling us they would not be open Sunday – Wednesday, but saying there were dining options in town… they fail to mention the entire town is closed Sunday – Wednesday, and we had to drive to the next town to find food or get a drink. The door to the back deck (pictured in their ads) remained locked during our stay...so no firepit or relaxing with a drink. Staff was somewhere between indifferent and rude. On check in, they wrote it on the guest booking form...a terrible security risk. The hotel was so bad we checked out a day early, knowing we would lose our money for the third night.

Charming New England inn. Everything you can think of- chairs on the front porch-restaurant, bar, pool,bikes, horses, xcountry skiing, tennis-24 hour coffee

Excellent place with so many places to cozy up.and chill out. Game room is awesome!

I love the area but would not choose the Inn to stay at again. VERY limited handicapped parking and no access to pub or game room (including the only TV on the property) as a result of my handicap. Exceptionally quiet and beautiful views tho.

Amazing New England style inn. There are no frills but thats what makes it. Nice lounge, didn't try the dining, but drinks were good. Great location for a fall tour of the area.

Beautiful inn in a wonderful setting for Nordic skiing. Staff were excellent and informative. It is an old inn so if you’re looking for television in your room, not the place for you. Breakfast was excellent and included as was a ski pass for the day. Also aloud to store some items while we skied after check out.

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was a great way to start the day and we enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day's activities. We always enjoy staying here in the wintertime.

The Inn is in one of the most beautiful areas of the White Mountains and is near to all they have to offer. The staff provided good suggestions for dinner since the restaurant and bar were closed (mid-week). The Inn itself could use a deep cleaning-rugs, pool, pool area and chairs.

My sister and I spent one glorious night there. The staff were very helpful and the inn immaculate.

Quaint old inn in the heart of Franconia Notch area. Location could not have been better! Comfortable sitting areas throughout the main floor. Comfortable bed but bathroom could use some work. Original shower head didn’t work and moveable shower head was difficult to adjust for height. Everything just seemed a little worn in need of some TLC. At check in, staff made a big deal about the fact that I booked through Expedia. The tone made me feel a little unwelcome. Asked for recommendations on hiking trails (I had already done research online but was looking for some local insight). They simply handed me a copy of a page available on the hotel website. Our 2nd night, we decided to have dinner at the pub downstairs. There was a small event upstairs in the breakfast dining area. Apparently, they did not have adequate staff to accommodate both an event and diners in the pub. We ordered 2 burgers and a cup of soup. The soup came out immediately but then we waited more than an hour for the burgers. The burgers were cold, appeared to have been reheated, and they forgot the bacon on one burger. They comped us for one burger and offered us a free dessert but we didn’t want to wait another hour! If you didn’t have staff, should have closed the pub or not agreed to the event. Continental breakfast without any hot food all three mornings. Presentation was nice but quality and options were what I’d expect at a chain hotel. Breakfast started at 7:30 (very late for hiking)

This is an old Inn that is charming. Unfortunately our room had a lot of moths and tiny flies and we didn't notice them until late when getting back to the room and going to bed...and because of the moths landing on the bed we really didn't sleep and couldn't complain since it was late. I mentioned this to the front desk in the morning and they said moths are common for an old inn and will tell housekeeping..they did not offer a resolution like a small discount for our inconvenience...that was disappointing.

We were only there for a quuck overnight but the space was very clean and suited our needs perfectly. The inn is very peaceful and comfortable.

Beautiful, quiet, quaint and perfectly clean New England property! The owners work so hard to make it excellent!

We stayed at the Franconia Inn for two nights over the weekend and had a wonderful experience. Even though we had to check in very late at midnight, the inn was extremely accommodating and made the process smooth and stress-free. Our room was cozy, clean, and comfortable, with just the right New England charm. The common areas were equally inviting—warm, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing between outings. The continental breakfast was excellent, with a nice selection and great quality that set us up for the day. Overall, the Franconia Inn combines charm, comfort, and great hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Staff is wonderful, Room is super clean and bed so comfortable. Food was excellent. Grounds are lovely. Will definitely visit again.

Pros: great landscape, lovely entrance, courteous staff, breakfast was good. Cons; carpeting in rooms, spider webs and spiders in the room, poor ventilation in bathroom and room. Musty smell, slow drain in bathroom, Bubbling paint on ceiling suggests water damage, and tub needs a reface or better yet replacement.

It is a nice charming old hotel. It offers nice family activities. The staff was really helpful, the breakfast was fine. I think the hotel had a problem sewage, it had a disturbing smell at certain times of the day.

Very enjoyable stay. Beautiful surroundings. Very nice accommodations. Good food.

The room was very small.There is no refrigerator and TV in the room.

I loved so much about the hotel. The one negative is there wasn't a TV in the room. I need TV on to sleep so I didn't sleep well but everyone was so nice.

Dinner was fantastic! I had the salmon. Cozy room and great bed.

Very cosy and charming hotel nestled in the woods, a nice antidote to chain hotels. Lovely vibe but could use a refresh in the basement area. Beautiful porch and grounds. Friendly staff and the horses are fun to see. Comfortable beds however I found the air conditioning to be on the loud side. We loved staying here.

The people and food was wonderful. Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The room was very dated, carpet seemed worn and limited outlet use. The first night was cold. I had to request an additional blanket despite having a floor heater, which worked well. For the price, I was a little disappointed with the condition of the room. Bed was ok. The people and the food really boosted my review. Staff was great.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Franconia Inn. It was our home base while we explored Vermont, Franconia Notch State Park, and the Kancamagus Hwy. The Inn was charming, with nice spaces on the first floor to relax and to have breakfast. We enjoyed dinner at the casual pub downstairs twice - good variety and quality of food. We interacted with the owners several times during our stay (outside, in the pub, and serving breakfast, etc). They seemed dedicated to the Inn and invested in making improvements. The common spaces were all in good shape and it appeared there were some recent updates (such as to dining area). Our room itself was fine, but could use some updates (mostly decor, and the showerhead) soon to bring it up to the level of the rest of the inn.

Attentive and friendly staff.

We have been going to the Franconia inn for many years, it is one of our favorite places. Wonderful staff and owners. Warm, cozy and very welcoming.

I want to especially give 5 stars to Jay, who took such great care of us for breakfast today. Inspite of being the lone server in the dining room, he efficiently and warmly provided our breakfast. He was so kind, inspite of having his hands full. Gave me a very generous helping of fresh fruit to for my French toast with real maple syrup! Thank you Jay! You rock!

The quiet...it was relaxing!

Quaint, rustic relaxation in the White Mountains. Friendly staff, easy parking, beautiful views. A wonderful Inn. 10/10

Great location

Nice view

Beautiful place! Lots of hiking around the area and Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch SP was super close!

Close to attractions and walking areas great dining areas around

Lovely place to stay. Area around the inn is stunning. The inn itself is classic New England. Woody paneling, big stone hearth, cozy spots to lounge. Food was great.

We had a wonderful night. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the pub and a delicious breakfast the next morning.

A very nice stay in a classy hotel. The restaurant was a bit overwhelmed when we were there but they still managed to feed us a good meal. Neat hotel!
