Mill Falls Resort Collection at the Lake
Turned on the hot water and it was so hot it burned my hand. I'm glad that I did it and not my granddaughter. The pool it said 4ft and it wasn't that far intill it dropped off. Not happy at all with my stay. Never again.

Winnisquam Lake Inn
Room felt neglected- no shower curtain, TV did not work, walls and screen window was shabby - I kinda expected some neglect - this seemed like too much. Then saw the smoke detector cover was missing and lost confidence in it’s safety so left and booked at another location.

Best Western Plymouth Inn-White Mountains
Heated pool was cold. Place was clean but had horrific smell, like mechanical oil spill and had a lot of trouble breathing. Room was ok and at least smell didn’t go into room.
