Franconia Inn

Excellent We have been going to the Franconia inn for many years, it is one of our favorite places. Wonderful staff and owners. Warm, cozy and very welcoming.

Great stay We had a wonderful stay at the Inn. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was a great way to start the day and we enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day's activities. We always enjoy staying here in the wintertime.

It is a nice charming old hotel. It offers nice family activities. The staff was really helpful, the breakfast was fine. I think the hotel had a problem sewage, it had a disturbing smell at certain times of the day.

My guess is that they spend more money on marketing, and possibly paying folks to remove bad reviews, than they do on maintaining the property. The property is run down with a mud parking lot. The single pane glass window in our bedroom was less than 50’ from the rural road, so you hear every vehicle. There was little traffic at night, but by 5:30 AM there was a steady stream of folks going to work. No independent temperature control in the rooms. They have ancient, noisy radiators. Our room heated up to about 78 each night, forcing you to open the windows…making traffic noise worst. Our "Superior" room was tiny. No place to put a suitcase, except inside the closet, on the floor. No TV in the room. Only two outlets. A tiny bathroom like some travel trailers. The "Lounge" and the restaurant never opened during our stay. We received an email AFTER the cancellation deadline, telling us they would not be open Sunday – Wednesday, but saying there were dining options in town… they fail to mention the entire town is closed Sunday – Wednesday, and we had to drive to the next town to find food or get a drink. The door to the back deck (pictured in their ads) remained locked during our stay...so no firepit or relaxing with a drink. Staff was somewhere between indifferent and rude. On check in, they wrote it on the guest booking form...a terrible security risk. The hotel was so bad we checked out a day early, knowing we would lose our money for the third night.

We had a wonderful night. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the pub and a delicious breakfast the next morning.

Amazing Inn. Highly recommend! Amazing New England style inn. There are no frills but thats what makes it. Nice lounge, didn't try the dining, but drinks were good. Great location for a fall tour of the area.
