Everything was what we expected. We have stayed there a number of times. We like the large rooms and good heating system. Another very nice stay. Only criticism is that the fabric on the chairs in my our room was quite dirty.

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.
