New Hampshire Motels | Places to Stay in New Hampshire

April 19, 2023 Kaleigh Reichenbach

If you are looking for diversity, you will certainly find it in New Hampshire. From lakes to beaches, waterfalls to woods and mountains to sea coast, the state has huge potential for outdoor vacations, including downhill or cross-country skiing in winter. With no less than seventy-five state parks that offer natural areas, hiking trails, beaches and historic sites, New Hampshire caters for a variety of tastes. Crawford Notch State Park in Harts Location has picturesque waterfalls, wonderful mountain views and opportunities for viewing wildlife. You can go hiking and fishing there as well as pay a visit to the historic Willey House. Monadnock State Park, unlike some other state parks, is open all year round for hiking. Want to go swimming? You will find five state park beaches along the coast of New Hampshire, such as Wallis Sands with its view of the rocky Isles of Shoals. On North Hampton State Beach and Jenness Beach you can have a picnic as well as a swim. When you've finally had your fill of fresh air, head for the Museum of New Hampshire History in Concord with exhibits focusing on heritage and traditions; children should enjoy them just as much as adults.

Desk manager was pleasant, friendly & helpful. Check in was a breeze. Our room was excellent. Our King bed was oh so comfy. Fridge was a nice size and had a little freezer. Having a table and 2 chairs was an added bonus. Loved the small upholstered bench that matched the design on the chairs. There were double blinds on the front window. Bathroom looked brand new too. Nice tile floor too. They had shampoo & bath gel in tub on the wall. Good lighting and a fan. The windows were also brand new. They are in the process of putting up new siding. They have a pool and hot tub but we didn't get a chance to use it. Lived the grassy area in the middle. They had picnic tables? Benches, propane BBQ and even a Cornhole game. Plus there was a bench outside each room. Laundry room was clean and machines were reasonably priced. Office had change too. Ice machine & vending were in the same place as laundry. Great value and nice place right in town but still quiet.

Good motel

Reviewed By Joanie881

The Colonial was a great deal and great location. Esp. if you're in No. Conway when it's crowded and you can avoid that traffic jam that always happens on the main drag. The room was clean and big, always good to have a fridge, bathroom was also clean and big with good products and ok towels. We did have quite the issue with the shower. If you took a 5 min shower, you were okay. Otherwise, the hot and cold water went nuts fluctuating. We reported that to the owner who I assume was going to take care of it. Being a motel, you do have the chance of loud people next to you or smoking outside which is a drag but that's expected.

Clean and Quaint Motel

A wonderful place to stop for an overnight to break up a long broad trip. The room was clean and very accessible. The free breakfast was lovely - plenty of options for all tastes. The only suggestion we have is to use less scented air freshener in the rooms.

Spent one night here and had a very unpleasant experience. The problems with the room were numerous. The sink was half filled with water when I went to use it and the drain cover was inoperable. It remained filled with water during my stay. The minuscule toilet seat (I am 6'2" and weight 181 lbs) was virtually unusable for an average size adult; in addition, the seat would not stay up. The walls were very thin and when another customer banged against it from his room, the headboard of my bed on which I was sitting slammed into the back of my head. My room faced the parking lot and since the heavy curtains did not close all the way, my room was lit throughout the night. The two young women on the desk were overwhelmed with guests checking in. On checkout, I asked for a refund and was given a 20 percent discount.

School House Inn

The School House Inn gets its name from the historic main building that served as one of the original elementary schools in North Conway, circa 1890-1923. Two large additions and five cottages were built in 1964 and the property was transformed into the School House Inn. After nearly six decades in business, the School House Inn is one of the oldest running motels in North Conway, and an area landmark along White Mountain Highway. We are conveniently located in the center of North Conway, 1 mile south of North Conway Village and 1 mile north of Settler's green. We are in walking distance or a short drive to many great restaurants, and only a short drive to all the attractions that the Mount Washington Valley has to offer. This property is open seasonally from mid-May through mid-November. Please visit with us soon !!

A nice place to stay

Reviewed By markjL8610NV

Simply put this is simply a nice place to stay. It has quite a bit of character and history to it. It is located squarely in the middle of North Conway and is close to all the attraction. The room was clean, and small but comfortable. The staff was overly friendly and attentive and made my stay a pleasure.

Great stay

Reviewed By Wandderlusst

I heard about this place from friends and my main interest here is the outdoor pool. Spent 1 night .... no issues. Friendly check-in.... room was satisfactory, clean, comfortable and warm. I was in one of the 400's rooms. I was a bit worried after having read some of the reviews here .... I had a great stay and would do it again. The outdoor pool and hot tub are incredible. As are the views. It snowed for a few minutes while we were in the pool! Perfection ❄️ Also ... dress warm for the area in general. It's extremely cold in February!

We spent 8 nights in February. It is a small family operated motel. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The room is warm and very clean, the bed is very comfortable, the fridge quite big, the bathroom has a nice bathtub and the water is really hot, it is wonderful to shower after having been out in the cold for a while. Housekeeping is great as well, every day we found our clean towels arranged in a different figurine on our bed! Nice surprise! First time we see that. Besides, the location is perfect, right off I-93, close to Franconia Notch State Park. There are many beautiful walks accessible from motel, no need to drive to Georgiana Falls, for example. Beautiful and interesting walk even in winter! We loved our stay there!

This hotel was very clean, quiet, and a great deal. It is not too far from the main drag into downtown Portsmouth. It can be a little tricky with traffic, but once you find the back entrance near the bed bath and beyond store, it is really easy. I didn’t hear a peep all night. Very clean and neat.
