Step back in time to this roadside motel! Decor Needs updates but for location it is great, close to Littleton and the Cannon Tram. Good hiking nearby. There isn’t much to see in Franconia but Littleton is adorable with shops and restaurants. Janice, The manager, Was very accommodating and personable.

Great place, I would stay here again. Older motel, but everything was clean and everything worked. The rooms are larger than newer hotels. Hotel staff was nice when I called and during check-in. You won't beat the price!

We had a great stay. We slept well, room was clean. Front desk attendant was a sweetheart. However we are not users of marijuana and the front office smelled very much like Cheech and Chong spent a lot of time there. Not welcoming at all for non drug users. But if you do, you'll love it.

Room was clean and spacious. AC kept the room cold during a very hot and humid day. Great value for the money. If you are used to a 5 Star Hotel with a ton of amenities, then this isn't you're type of place. Close to Franconia Notch Park and the downtown area.
