"Great motel with a beautiful view of the water. I was able to walk to the beach, and the scenic train stopped right at the property. Convenient to the Mount Washington cruise, too.2018-08-09"
"The hotel was nice and clean, and had good views of the beautiful natural surroundings. However, some kitchen items weren't provided, and the plug for the whirlpool tub didn't work well. Pleasant staff. I had a comfortable stay.2015-07-24"
"There was hair around the whirlpool, and brown bubbles were coming out of the jets. The restaurant staff was disorganized and didn't bring our meal courses out in the right order. I had a bad weekend at this hotel.2018-06-19"
"The hotel was noisy and needed a good cleaning, and there was trash lying around. No one seemed to care. I spoke to the clerk twice about the loud partying, to no avail. Stay somewhere else.2019-04-01"
"Not a great hotel, but not as expensive as hotels closer to Laconia. The room was fine, but the pool and whirlpool weren't clean. Good breakfast.2015-08-17"
"Clean, decent hotel with friendly, accommodating staff. The on-site restaurant was great. I'd stay again.2015-06-23"
"The hotel was OK, but the floor seemed to have a lot of pet hair on it. The coffee maker was dusty. The bathroom ceiling and wallpaper were peeling.2021-06-14"
"The hotel was an overall reasonable place to stay. The toilet was clogged, so I had to change rooms.2018-07-18"
"I had a wonderful experience. The room was perfect, though the shower water could've been hotter. Stay at this hotel.2016-05-16"
"I was greeted by friendly employees and checked in quickly. The room was clean and spacious. Even with renovations going on, I was impressed and highly recommend this hotel. Don't forget your swimsuit.2015-12-21"
"The hotel was clean and quiet. Helpful personnel and awesome breakfast. We were disappointed that the whirlpool wasn't working.2018-12-10"
"The hotel was clean, and the room and bed were comfortable. I liked the large, flat-screen TV with many channel options. Minimal toiletries provided; bring your own shampoo and body wash.2018-03-17"
"The exterior door of the hotel was left unlocked at night. The fridge in our room wasn't plugged in, but we didn't find out until it was too late. Both beds had sharp edges that stuck out under the bedspread, and my son cut his leg on one of them. No hot water for shower, and we didn't get enough towels. The pool was cold, and it didn't open until noon, and checkout was at 11 AM. The recommended restaurant across the street overcharged me. I don't think I'd stay here again.2016-02-16"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
