The pub and the waitstaff there were more than I hoped for. The management seemed put out when we asked to use the hot tub @ 8:30 pm when it closed at 9:00.
We didn’t need TV in the room, but I was surprised that it wasn’t there. Room was spotless and roomy. Continental breakfast was sparse. Coffee was very good.

The common rooms were very nice... a library, a fireplace to read in front of, dining room with all day access to coffee and hot chocolate. Nice hot tub. XC skiing right next door. And a pub with fantastic food.

It's an outdoor sports club type establishment with snow lovers and families. The golden benefit is to be secluded, away from civilization right near the beautiful mountain and snow forest with have cross country equipment rental right on premises, fire places! Hot tub (pool is closed in winter) and thoughtful good people! We had an auto collision and Sarah supported us in time of need.
Im a cross country skiier. It's hard to find these among many mountain resorts.

This was a 5 star stay and we will definitely be back. The staff were friendly, helpful, and personable. The room was clean and cozy. The small touches that matter - they had them all. We were able to sit in the hot tub after a day of skiing, there were fresh baked cookies in the lobby, coffee all day, access to a fridge and microwave, TV downstairs, arcade/game room. They have a restaurant in the basement of the property. Breakfast in the morning was better than any hotel breakfast. Cereal, bagels, pastries, coffee, juice, French toast bake, etc. The location of this Inn is perfect for any ski trip or hiking adventure! Again, we will 100% be back and with our families :)

Great stay
We had a wonderful stay at the Inn. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was a great way to start the day and we enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day's activities. We always enjoy staying here in the wintertime.

We stayed at the Franconia Inn for two nights over the weekend and had a wonderful experience. Even though we had to check in very late at midnight, the inn was extremely accommodating and made the process smooth and stress-free.
Our room was cozy, clean, and comfortable, with just the right New England charm. The common areas were equally inviting—warm, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing between outings. The continental breakfast was excellent, with a nice selection and great quality that set us up for the day.
Overall, the Franconia Inn combines charm, comfort, and great hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

It is a nice charming old hotel. It offers nice family activities. The staff was really helpful, the breakfast was fine. I think the hotel had a problem sewage, it had a disturbing smell at certain times of the day.
