The Villager Motel

We were hesitant to book a motel but were so pleasantly surprised by our stay. With dietary restrictions, having a stove/oven is necessary and this was one of the only places available in the area. We had a lovely stay and the room was perfect for what we needed. Area was quiet and safe and a great location for equal access to Lincoln and North Conway. There’s not a lot of establishments up in the white mountains so quaint “no frills” inns/motels that are more on the older side like this one seem to be the norm. Very different than motels in more suburban/urban areas- dirty, unsafe, sketchy people- none of that here. We had such a great time hiking among peak fall foliage and will definitely stay here again when returning to the white mountains. Thanks for a great stay!

Don’t drink the water? I was told the water is safe to shower and brush teeth with - just don’t swallow or drink it. I’m pretty sure there’s a health code violation in there somewhere.

The staff are all nice and friendly, but our room was less than stellar. It came with a kitchenette but the sink didn't drain at all and the microwave didn't work. I get that you get what you pay for but everything should at least be functional. Its a quiet area and located near a lot of fun attractions, the just need to invest a bit into a decent update and this place would be great.

I was planning to stopp over at this Motel for less than 12 hours to get a good nights rest before an early ski day. And I lasted no more than 15 minutes. I don’t think I can put this experience into words but here is all you need to know: When I checked in the attendant warned me not to drink the tap water; the sheets not only didn’t look clean, but had obvious white stains on them; the room had a very strong smoke smell (said non-smoking room); the window was broken so when I tried to open it it simply just fell out; the other window was not broken but it didn’t have a screen. I decided to pay $200 to leave this place for another hotel and I’m so glad I did. I felt unsafe, unhealthy, and unsanitary. Please do not book this place and how do I get a refund?

Hot water not working. luckily, I brought electric kettle with me so I can take a shower. Been waiting for heat in the room end up sleep with fleece jacket and beanie hat lol

Lights didn’t work. Smoke detector missing. Bathroom odor. Pleasant staff.

We had a kitchenette room. The stay was a difficult experience. Snow was piled between the drive and walkway, making it tricky to load and unload, get to and from the car. The room was cold and heat weak. A spider web was in a lampshade. 2 spiders and another bug were on the wall at different times. A light bulb didn't work. A burn and large long split were in blanket-it couldn't be swapped until he next day as the office was closed. Next day the replacement also had burn hole. There was a used sponge at the kitchen sink. There were no towels for dishes. The large wastebasket interior was so filthy the plastic bag liner stuck to it. The step from the sleeping area to the rest of the room had the same carpeting and was unmarked, difficult to see, and therefore precarious, especially at night. There was a bag of trash outside the room next door that was there for duration of our stay. Worst, 3 metal pieces jutted a couple inches from under the mattress, 1 of which caused a long, wide, deep scrape on one leg that's been painful and required purchasing special bandaging, medication, and repeated visits to Dr. at wound center ($$$). Hiking, skiing and movement will be limited by the injury over a month. Conclusion: We won't ever return to this place and don't recommend it! (Link won't work to upload photos!)

Perfect no-frills home base for our white mountain adventures! Quiet, friendly and clean. Check in was lovely and the room was big and comfortable. Would stay again!

Nice large rooms. Beds were comfortable. The outside lights were not working so was very dark when we came back from dinner
