Only stayed a night, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at this motel. First of all, it was very clean, and had a very comfortable mattress and set of pillows. Beautiful view of mountains and ski trails from our window. The owner here is the real deal, an old-fashioned innkeeper who cares about his property, cares about his customers, and makes... More

In a pinch, needed a place to stay - Gale River Motel was recommended. What a heavenly, down to earth place to stay! AND, such reasonable rates! Gale River Motel is down to earth, in such a home-town friendly location. You can walk to town - the views are just so spectacular! Kevin, the owner, soooo accomodating, so helpful and... More

After a long drive on 2-lane backroads, I was glad to stop for the night at the Gale River Motel. The owner was very helpful in giving directions for nearby shopping & dining, even let me know a short-cut to reach my destination for the following day (which worked out perfectly). Rooms are clean, quiet & comfortable, though not fancy... More

Possibly the world's friendliest and most helpful innkeeper - nothing was too much to ask. There were lots of maps on offer and helpful suggestions about where to go and what to do locally (even where to find the cheapest gas). Though basic, the rooms are clean and comfy and it's excellent value. There are infinite amounts of cookies at... More

This place is basically clean and comfortable, but a little rough around the edges. The owner is very chatty and appears to be operating it as a one man operation. The location is sort of remote at the edge of town, left behind on the old highway once the interstate bypassed.Franconia. Your first impression when you drive up - have... More

This is a frill-free but clean place to stay in a very attractive location near Franconia State Park in New Hampshire. The location was a major selling point for me, as was the fact that the motel is pet-friendly (we brought our dog). Even with other pets and families present, it was also a very quiet place, which we enjoyed.... More

Stopped here on way back from 5 nights camping in Maine before heading back into Canada. It was quaint. Loved that there was a jacuzzi in the outdoor pool area; it was nice to sit and unwind the muscles after 6 hours of driving. It was a place to stay overnight on the way home; we did choose it with...

This is an average motel in a small town with close access to the Franconia Notch. Nothing really bad, but nothing really great either. The room was clean and large. The fixtures were a bit old. You have to go to the desk to obtain ice and are only given a small amount due to past guests filling their coolers... More

We stayed here one night, based on good reviews from tripadvisor. We were not disappointed. Rooms were clean, not large, but roomy enough. Beds were comfortable, flat screen tv provided. Breakfast provided at reasonable price. Kevin was very accommodating. Many interesting places to go and see in the area. Beautiful views and wonderful area to stay. Easy access from major... More
