True hospitality and coziness

Our room at Carlson's was cozy, comfy, and super clean -- Carol met us for check-in and made sure we were settled in not just to the room but to the area. Absolutely appreciate the extra touch of hospitality - thank you to Carlson's for the great time in New Hampshire...we'll be back!

The room was clean and had incredibly comfortable. Everything you could wish for after a day of hiking. But the most memorable part were the people there. I never got the name of the owners, but they made you feel so welcomed. They remembered your name, checked in, and made the experience just wonderful

Attention to detail! We will definitely stay here

Attention to detail was amazing, the owner, the room, hangers in the bathroom, curved shower rod, plush & firm options for the mattress and for the pillows, etc. The owner even gave us local restaurant info upon check-in. We will definitely stay here again! We missed having a fridge, but it was cold outside so we left food & drinks in the car.

Great long weekend

Incredibly clean and comfortable. The only thing missing was a mini fridge in the room. We had a cooler so that was fine. We had a room with 2 queen beds and the room was huge. There is a fridge in the common area. I highly recommend this hotel. We are seniors who travel frequently and we are a little fussy about our accommodations. This was wonderful.

The beds are very comfortable, shower water pressure is very good, a nice and quiet place. This is not a welfare hotel . We will be back when we are in this area to stay .

It was a very good bargain for the quality of service and experience had. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. It was a great night of sleep after a long day on the trails. The place it’s a little dated but it’s very clean and functional and quiet and the location it’s pretty central to everything. Would absolutely stay here again.
