The Above the Notch is a pretty straightforward motel. My room had a nice couch as well as one bed. The bathroom was basic and small, but did the job well enough. The room was clean and really rather pleasant. The microwave was an unexpected extra. The Above the Notch did not have their own WiFI, but I was able... More

Furnishings and decor a little dated, but room/bathroom were clean. Close to skiing and the cog railway. Rooms have minifridge, microwave, and coffemakers (no hairdryers). Doubles have two fulls, not two queens, so you'll have to get cosy if you're putting 4 to a room. I wonder if some rooms do have a problem with mustiness - ours was O.K.,... More

We decided to spend a night here out of convenience as it was close to our planned hike. Bad, Bad mistake. The room was drab and smelled like mold with a carpet deodorizer sprinkled around to try and mask it. Just a terrible place. We spent the night coughing and trying to hide under the pillows to get away from... More

This problem was resolved the next day. Apparently we had guests in that room for the previous 4 days that were cooking with peanut oil in an electric wok. Our housekeeping staff spent over 6 hours washing all linens, curtains, walls and steam cleaning the carpet. We are truely sorry that this problem was over looked before the next guest... More

We stayed at Above the Notch in October 2010, during the spectacular Autumn - we have nothing close to those colours in Australia. We loved Above the Notch, it was clean, comfortable, and the microwave meant that we could do our own food. We travelled in the US for 4 months altogether, and it was one of our favourite places...

Very reasonable on convenient to Cog Railway. The place was clean, but there was a musty smell which seemed to go away after the heat had been on a while. The hot water was a bit brown at first, but went away after running it for a while. Note that there isn't any breakfast served, but there is a coffee... More

Musty, moldy nasty smell. Should have trusted my gut and walked out as soon as I walked in... No a/c, windows open traffic passing....dirty towels, uncomfortable beds, oh and did I mention brown water. I did not even stay the whole night...I decided the back seat of my car had to be more comfortable!

The motel is clean and situated close to the cog railway for Mt. Washington. Rates are reasonable. Most activities are within a 45 minute drive ( approximateIy ) from the hotel. would not recommend staying there during a heatwave or hot day, there is no A/C and no swimming pool. There is a charge for ice.

We were travelling to Mt. Washington from NYC and booked this place as it was close to the cog railway and was very well priced. The property is literally few minutes from the famous cog rail. It is also very close to the Cannon mountains, the scenic highways and pretty much all the other activities one wishes to do once... More
