The room was clean, the staff was courteous and the motel was quite. This is the second year in a row that I stayed at the Franconia Notch Motel and the reason I returned was because I was so happy with my stay last year. It is conveniently located near many area attractions. I will stay here again when I am in the area.

Not sure how this property can charge the amount they do - perhaps taking advantage of the season. This is a necessity stop hotel, not a vacation hotel. This is a brush your teeth go to bed get up go back to work stop. Very disappointed. Staff very nice but not what we were looking forward to.

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.
