Quaint old inn in the heart of Franconia Notch area. Location could not have been better! Comfortable sitting areas throughout the main floor. Comfortable bed but bathroom could use some work. Original shower head didn’t work and moveable shower head was difficult to adjust for height. Everything just seemed a little worn in need of some TLC. At check in, staff made a big deal about the fact that I booked through Expedia. The tone made me feel a little unwelcome. Asked for recommendations on hiking trails (I had already done research online but was looking for some local insight). They simply handed me a copy of a page available on the hotel website. Our 2nd night, we decided to have dinner at the pub downstairs. There was a small event upstairs in the breakfast dining area. Apparently, they did not have adequate staff to accommodate both an event and diners in the pub. We ordered 2 burgers and a cup of soup. The soup came out immediately but then we waited more than an hour for the burgers. The burgers were cold, appeared to have been reheated, and they forgot the bacon on one burger. They comped us for one burger and offered us a free dessert but we didn’t want to wait another hour! If you didn’t have staff, should have closed the pub or not agreed to the event. Continental breakfast without any hot food all three mornings. Presentation was nice but quality and options were what I’d expect at a chain hotel. Breakfast started at 7:30 (very late for hiking)

Very cosy and charming hotel nestled in the woods, a nice antidote to chain hotels. Lovely vibe but could use a refresh in the basement area. Beautiful porch and grounds. Friendly staff and the horses are fun to see. Comfortable beds however I found the air conditioning to be on the loud side. We loved staying here.

I loved so much about the hotel. The one negative is there wasn't a TV in the room. I need TV on to sleep so I didn't sleep well but everyone was so nice.

My third stay at the Inn with my 2 grown daughters and my sister. The Inn is very comfortable is in a beautiful setting. It's very close to many local attractions and a quick drive away from the sweet town of Littleton. The restaurant and pub have excellent food and nice cocktails. I highly recommend!!

I want to especially give 5 stars to Jay, who took such great care of us for breakfast today. Inspite of being the lone server in the dining room, he efficiently and warmly provided our breakfast. He was so kind, inspite of having his hands full. Gave me a very generous helping of fresh fruit to for my French toast with real maple syrup! Thank you Jay! You rock!

Labor Day at Franconia Inn 2023
Just a relaxing place to stay indeed. Pub downstairs with great food and then leads out back for a pleasant walk on the grounds. Old cemetery across the street for some great reading as well as head stone art from back in the day. Gliders taking off and landing all day was some great watching on the front porch. Horse back riding will take part next time out as well as your tennis courts!! Great stay for us and hopefully be back soon..
