This is a hidden gem—It’s obviously an old building, but has been renovated very nicely. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and there are plenty of walkable restaurants nearby. I stay here several times a year, and have never been disappointed.

Clean, Modern, Convenient!

My adult son and I needed a home base for some backcountry hiking/skiing at Mt. Washington and Top Notch Inn was the perfect place. The price was right, location was perfect with plenty of dining options in walking distance, and the room was clean, modern and comfortable. In-room fridge and microwave was a nice touch too.
