This is the cleanest Motel I have stayed at. It is not new, with a unique 1950s feel. The rooms are remarkable spacious and the staff is genuinely nice. A big fridge, electric stove, basic bathroom, quite. Manager Peaches was a peach. The water is incredibly clean and the view of the lake is stunning. Remember to bring bug spray! There is a lake afterall.

First off let me start by saying Jimmy E.s review is wrong. My family and I stayed there this past…read moreweekend. The lodge absolutely has wifi. I have TMobile so yes my cell service was nill in almost all of New Hampshire. My husband who has AT&T did have cell service the entire time we were there. Next is yes they do have flat screen tvs. Our room had a great one. Next is he was starving?? The town is about 5 min away, with a few places that were open till at least 10pm and the great tasting Chinese restaurant is open till 1am. Secondly Ill start off by saying this place isn't the Ritz. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel in a hot spot, this place is not it. Nor is the majority of other hotels in quiet NH. But if you are looking for a comfortable relaxing place off the beaten path then this is the place. It is located right on the lake, with beautiful mountain views. You can take a dip in the lake or enjoy the deck overlooking the water. Or grill up a few burgers on the gas grills. The rooms are very comfy and ours was on the larger side. We had a full kitchen and good sized refrigerator. To sum it up, if you are looking for a quiet place to get away this place is it. We will definitely be returning :)

This cabin was directly on the bay with a very cute backyard and steps into the beautiful water. We are going to book for next year.

We always choose the beach efficiency rooms and stay in room 1B. If friends come they stay in 2B which is an adjoining room. Our room comes with a kitchen, big fridge and two beds. You can also rent a little bungalow or stay in the main strip of hotel rooms if you choose. The best part however is that the main patio is right off our rooms. It's great waking up to the lake and then spending the day on the patio. The other must do is a visit to the Sandy Point restaurant which serves up some great food, we always go for some seafood plate. But most recently and most importantly is the fact that we actually got engaged on the front patio in front of our rooms. This place will always hold a special place in our hearts. Check out Sandy Point Beach Resort, you're sure to love it!

4.5 Stars! Ames Farm…read moreInn is incredible! A friend took me here this summer and I fell in love with it! The employees are awesome and the environment great! The view is worth every penny. There also is lots of parking available! There is also a store downstairs! I didn't get a chance to go inside, but I'm sure it would be fun to look around. The prices are reasonable and service pretty quick! The food overall is pretty good. The only critique I have is my home fries were a little bit burnt! Other than that enjoyed my meal both times. I would recommend making reservations if you have more than two people in your party! I would say this is my favorite breakfast place at the moment!

This is a gem which is easy to miss so keep a lookout for it…read more The restaurant is run like a well oiled machine. The staff works so hard to make your experience top notch. The food is delicious. I had the side order of a blueberry pancake. It's was so full of blueberries plump and yummy. The home fries were cooked perfectly. It makes for a delightful breakfast and they serve lunch too

No. Just no. Zero…read morestars. We were in town for 3 days to work the NASCAR event. Night 1: We got in really late so they left the door unlocked for us. After a long day of work all we wanted to do was shower and sleep. The room wasn't cleaned after the previous guests. Therefore, we were left with no towels and garbage everywhere. Not to mention a dirty bed. I triple checked for bed bugs and shook the covers and sheets. We found 2 spiders in the covers. Threw all of the covers on the floor, layered up in extra clothes and slept for a few hours before heading back to work. This room hasn't been cleaned in a while. There are spider webs all along the walls. Night 2: Before coming back for the second night we bought new sheets and a comforter set. There was no way I was touching the original sheets. (If you absolutely have no choice but to stay here then I suggest going to Walmart and doing the same). Again, no towels. Nothing. We went to the office to finally speak to someone. Apparently they didn't know we were here. The guy at the desk is really nice and helpful. He did us a favor and gave us extra large towels (which are still 1/3 the size of regular towels). Then we took cold showers. We found out later that the owner shuts the hot water whenever she feels like it (but she won't tell you that- she says,"it comes and goes. You never know"). There is nothing sweeter than waking up at 5am to the sound of an entire rodent family running in the walls. Over and over. Night 3: We spoke to the owner after work. She truly believes nothing is wrong with this place. She could update the whole place with new stuff for about $200. I bought a whole bedding set from Walmart with pillows for $20. There is absolutely no reason this place has to be so filthy. We left a whole day/night early. Don't do it. Just don't. Fridge (light mold inside) Microwave AC

My lady and I wanted a cheap place to stay in Alton for one night as we were attending a wedding and figured we would be too drunk to appreciate a nice place anyway that evening. The Riverview seemed to fit the bill. I was extremely wrong. We roll up and see a woman sketchily chatting with what appears to be a meth addict or maybe plague victim. He scurries off as I pull in and it turns out the woman is the motel keeper. How about this for a howdydo: When I check in the motel keeper lady (a squat, unpleasant woman who hates you) tells me she has no idea what price she quoted me on the phone when I gave her my credit card and also didn't reserve a room for me or charge me. So I'll tell this shifty lady the price and she claims that "it impossible price". I show her the price online. "No I been ask man to update for year". So the new price is 20 bucks more; The wedding is soon so I pay. She immediately asks me when we are leaving for the evening and what time we are coming back. Weird right? Could you please be more subtle about robbing our room? I expect a certain level of civility when getting rolled at a motel in America in 2014 and not the goddamn Congo. I should back up. "Riverview" is a misnomer. Somehow, this place that is located in the beautiful lakes region sits by a fetid, dirty, swampstain. The whole drive up we are surrounded by gorgeous lakes, then all the sudden the land turns cursed and this motel is sitting on it. We enter the room and I immediately regret paying for it. The whole joint has the feeling of death about it, like a haunted abandoned insane asylum. The floors in the bedroom are linoleum, no doubt so they can sweep your blood out the door in the morning, The bed is strangely lumpy and sunken, as if it had been hosed down and left to dry indoors numerous times. The bathroom was clean but small. There was on old tube TV that i didn't turn on because of poltergeists. It SMELLED like weird chemicals. The place both scared and depressed me, two feelings that are the hallmark of a great stay in the country, I walked up to the office again. There are signs everywhere that say NO REFUNDS. So if you are curious about their refund policy here it is: NO. We leave for the wedding, get halfway there, then decide to double back and get our belongings so they aren't stolen or raped or poisoned. We get them. The whole night at the wedding I get more and more of a bad feeling about staying there. I decide to STAY SOBER at the wedding because my misgivings are so strong. I imagined us being assaulted or kidnapped by Congo slave traders. After the wedding, we go back to the motel, I drop off the key, and hightail it back to Boston. I was never happier to see the Zakim bridge. I am positive I saved our lives. DO NOT STAY HERE unless you need a place to"lay low until things blow over in Tijuana" or a place to do some weird drug no one has ever heard of. This place looks like a great place to have a marriage ending fight.
