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 hotel was very rundown. The carpet was extremely dirty. There was tape on the ceilings and walls. The towels looked ratty and old and were falling apart. When we used the AC, it was blowing warm air and filled the room with burning electricity smell. We made it one night before we had to leave.

It is one of the least expensive options , rooms are of reasonable size, with operational appliances ( Tv, coffee machine, microwave) internet is good. Convenient location for hikes in Franconia notch, walking distance to Indian head trail, 5 min drive to Lincoln and Kancamagus scenic highway. Stayed in other properties in the past but this lodging quality/ price is excellent.

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.

It is inexpensive and clean. We have stayed there many times. I also like that the room is a little large than most motel rooms.

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.

Needed a place to stay after a long travel night and this was perfect. Owner went out of his way to make sure I had what I needed even with a late arrival. Room was as expected for the price. Will look here again next time I'm in the area.

Good value and location
I chose this hotel for the cost (low) and location. It was a good value and centrally located. The family that runs the place was kind and accommodating. The room was certainly old but felt clean and had a nice view out the back.

This place is disgustingly dirty. The furniture was original a long, long time ago. Coming in the door to the cottage was like a guillotine and there solution was use a cinder block to hold it open which of course would let in mosquitos. Never addressed. The walls, floors and furniture were filthy, worn down and the cushions collapsed. The beds folded into the middle and we're disgusting. He walked the dog through our yard as the cottage was behind his house. Very intrusive, the kitchen window which faces the cottage was always open and it felt like being spied on. Joined us in the water asked if we wanted privacy but didn't leave. He jovially said "You're wealthy" when we arrived, which I found insulting. 2690 is 4 miles in on Stinson Lake Rd highly inconvenient as only one way out. This place should be delisted from any service, no respect for their property or guests. Great for a frat party.

Loved the retro charm of this small cottage. So quiet you could here the river flow. Clean and well maintained. Peaceful White Mt. weekend getaway.
