My work brings me to Lincoln New Hampshire on a regular basis, and the Franconia Notch motel is my preferred choice. Always polite check-in, clean rooms every time, and their rates are consistently reasonable.

The bed was ok, sheet and towels were clean. The walls were stained, the bath tub was stained and did not look clean. The smell was so bad we actually left early. It seemed like a chemical smell to cover up a mildew problem. Needless to say we won't be going back.

The room was not clean, mildew and scum in bathtub. Hair around sink.Mirrors never cleaned covered in spots . Friends room had many things wrong upon arrival. Location is nice and if you want to have a spot where nobody bothers you. Changed towels daily which was nice but came into room when you were gone. Definitely need some new house keepers.

I really liked the one bedroom cabin. It was nice to have a living room to relax in after a long hike. It could definitely use some updates to the furniture as it was pretty worn looking.

Dated but clean and comfortable.

It’s very dated and a little chilly during the winter. But I just need a few overnight stays to ski so I wasn’t looking for luxury. Very clean and comfortable. I’d stay here again for sure. However not sure my wife would.
