As others have said, the property is very clean and comfortable, but basic. We were staying over for one night after an evening wedding. It was perfect for our purpose. It is well located for all area attractions. Janice went out of her way to accommodate our earlier arrival and it was much appreciated!

We enjoyed our one-night stay here. Terrific, unbeatable price. There was no TV but I don’t miss it as I was too tired from hiking all day and wanted sleep.

First off the property manager was johnny on the spot. Very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The building and furnishings were can I say a throwback to the 70's. We did not expect much due to the price. No amenities at all but did not expect. The manager had problems with our room and not having the keys to the room nor did she have a key to the adjoining room which was resolved by using the bed has a barrier to the door. My wife and I laughed it off but others may have been unnerved by the situation. It will be a memory we won't soon forget.

Room was clean, Janice is very welcoming and friendly, units all on ground level, area is very safe. This is not the Hilton but if you can do without TV microwave and refrigerator it is great for the price. There is a nice grocery store / deli / coffee bar right down the road. It is in a fabulous location for Franconia attractions!
