I am writing this review from summer 2011.... just found the time looking up my next vaca.... Kevin, the owner, is a great host who is always looking out for his guests. The hotel was clean , located well, and priced right. I went with my young kids and they had a blast checking out Kev's rabbit....what can I say... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here a couple months ago and we decided that we have never been treated more respectfully than we did here. The staff is incredibly accommodating, the location is great, and dollar for dollar you cannot find another place that even comes close. 10 out of 10. More

If you are looking for a clean and comfortable spot in the Franconia area, this is it. It is an older "motor lodge" style place....a little like going back in time, but most of the area lodging is like that! The host Kevin was very accomodating (and he makes great chocolate chip cookies)! The hotel and cottages would probably be... More

We road trip every summer and never found a motel we would stay at twice. Gale river changed that. The room was spotless, service was great and friendly and the sights were awesome (mountains & giant yard to walk). There were always fresh cookies available and I am not even a cookie fan. The amenities were excellent especially having a... More

But even beyond that, the place is spotless; the owner and service is top notch. We've been going to the Gale for over ten years and it's never dissapointed us. Give it a try...you won't be dissapointed. More

I was forced to wake Kevin up... More

we recently stayed at the gale river motel. the views are amazing. Kevin is the a wonderful host to this establishment. Fresh cookies in the lobby. Helpful with resturant suggestions. Yes, the room reminded me of my grandmother's apartment, but it was cozy. clean room. fresh towels. shampoo/ soap dispenser in the shower. very nice touches. we had a great... More

Thanks so much Gale River Motel and Kevin!!! We Loved our stay with you! the welcome couldn't have been warmer or the room cleaner and we loved that the Motel was eco-friendly! also the coupons for Great restaurants in Littleton were much appreciated. Franconia is a place dear to our hearts and it's so nice to know a great spot... More

This is a little strip motel from mid-20th century, the rooms being perpendicular to the road rather than parallel, and there's a reason for this - pull into your parking space steps from your door then turn around. The view south through Franconia Notch is breathtaking! The owner was very friendly and helpful, with homemade Tollhouse cookies waiting at the... More
