“Great location with friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We have stayed here many times and we always enjoy our stay. The loacation is perfect for hiking,sking or sight seeing. When you arrive you feel welcomed right away by the staff. The rooms are good sized and clean. The rooms are adjacent to a river with beautiful views. The amazing thing is that for a place that is clean,friendly and has outstanding views it is very reasonable.

Thank you and see you soon

“This place is a dump!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The place hasn’t been renovated since the sixties. Cracked sink, moldy bathtub, threadbare towels and dirty shower curtains.

The carpet hasn’t been washed in years, the mattress cover had hair on it, and two pillows were yellowed and smelled of sweat. Disgusting!

The outside windows were stuck open and it was quite cold in the cabin. There was mold on the bottom of a wall!

The only nice thing about this place is the river that runs behind it. Yet, even that idyllic spot is neglected.

“VERY NICE PLACE TO STAY & RELAX”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

I found this motel on line and checked with the Trip Advisor for recommendations. I booked my room and found it very clean and the owners are very hospitable and cannot do enough for you. The rooms are very quaint and comfortable. The Pemigawasset River right behind the motel just adds a nice touch to the motel..The sound of the river makes relaxing and sleeping that much better. The rates of the rooms are great!! I can afford to come up here a couple of times a year. What a great find..

“GROSS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

i was totally disgusted when we arrived i had a bad feeling from the office, it needed cleaning in a bad way and the curtain that hung between the living quarters and office was gross. our room smelled musty/mold, there was mold on the mini blinds in the bathroom, the tile was falling off the walls in the bathroom, all the wall paper was all curling off the walls, the heat didn't work and there was a space heater that worried me, the bathroom door knob was falling off and we didn't dare close it all the way the tub didn't drain good so when you took a shower you were standing in three inches of water. the place was not clean. we checked for bed bugs first thing (did not find anything or we would not have stayed) i actually asked to see another unit but we decided they were all the same. the picture looks so cute but it was very misleading. the fellow who worked there said his uncle owned the place, he tried to be accommodating but it is very clear no money has been put into the place in a long time. We decided after our stay there we would rather not make reservations but check out a motel / hotel before checking in.

Hello,
We thank you for placing the review on our motel on Trip Advisor. We apologize for failing to meet your expectations. The motel is quite old and the owners are new. Yes, we have invested money for renovations. We have just finished wall-paper work in every room. During your stay the work was still in process and maybe the room you got wasn't renovated. We are installing new heating unit starting Monday in every room. Installing new roof and the list goes on. Please try us again. We will make sure you enjoy your stay with us.
Thank you
Manager

“repairs needed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

rented 4 rooms in the motel section for four couples traveling together. I can't say I would recommend this place to anyone. The eave troughs needed cleaning. Water dripped over the edge soaking us as we hauled stuff into the rooms. One of the screen doors was sprung, hanging open all the time. The carpets were very shop worn. All fixtures and furniture were old. There was a funny smell. the wall paper was peeling off the walls. The heater had a note on scrawled with a magic marker saying DO NOT USE!!! There was a cheap space heater in its place. The sheets and pillow cases were clean but well used. There was grime in the corners of the bathroom. The temperature of the shower water changed from hot to cold every few seconds. Even the sign along the road was in need of repair.

Hello
(1) Faucet changed.
(2) Screen door fixed
(3) Wall-paper changed
(4) Heating units are being replaced.
We will start deep cleaning work soon, which will solve the smell, carpet and grime problem. Furniture will be replaced too might not be this year, but that is definitely on our "Must do " list.
We thank you for placing this feedback. We hope to get another chance to make your stay enjoyable with us. Please visit us soon.
Thank you
