A Hidden Gem in New Hampshire!…read more I can't say enough good things about this charming little motel! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family by the sweetest couple who clearly pour their hearts into every detail. The rooms are spotless, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and there are thoughtful, homey touches throughout that make it feel more like a cozy guesthouse than a motel. Everything about our stay was simply perfect. If you're looking for a place that's full of character, comfort, and genuine hospitality, this is it. We can't wait to come back!

Carol called us to make sure we were making it up ok. When we arrived at Carlson's Lodge Carol met us to check us in. We hadn't eaten yet and she called a nearby restaurant to see if they could still take us. She also helped us plan our entire day for the next day. She had really good suggestions of different hikes we could do in our time frame. She then took us to our room which had a door code instead of a key which I really liked. She also said that one bed was firm and one bed was plush. This place was perfect for our one night stay. The only thing I would note is there is not a fridge in the room. The lodge was so close to Mt. Willard, the Cog Railway, the Mt Washington Hotel and others. It was a very convenient location and Carol made our stay so much better, would definitely stay again!

It's the off season here so the Inn was very quiet when we arrived except for the beautiful, rushing river behind it. Outside it's clear that the inn is being fixed up and at 198 years old, what doesn't? So we went in... Sarah is the owner/manager of the Inn for the last 18 months. She has extensive experience working for major hotel chains and it shows. The bar is stocked with national, regional and local beers and there was an adequate choice of wine and liquor. Our bartender, Mariah was knowledge, friendly and willing to create new drinks for us! An espresso stout and marshmallow vodka shot tasted like a long evening latte. She's knowledgeable of local food, hiking and other things to do in the area. The atmosphere is charming and Sarah has preserved much of the previous owner's photos of happy golf groups. The dining room is large but only about 15 tables have a view of the river and the old bridge. If you're going to come out, I would suggest asking to reserve one of them. Dinner was both delicious and entertaining. The salmon was perfectly cooked and there are ample vegetarian choices on the menu including poblano tacos made on handmade cauliflower tortillas. The Mac and cheese (which is not a burger) was very tasty as well. Bottom line: enjoy this woman-owned charmer and help the local economy too! You won't be disappointed.

We (three of us) each got a drink. An old fashioned, the Penelope, and raspberry Mojito. The old fashioned was not good, tasted like straight alcohol. The raspberry mojito was really good and well balanced, but towards the end we noticed a piece of wrapper at the bottom of the glass. The Penelope was actually really good. The Brussel sprouts and the clam chowder was really good. The fish and chips was very bland. The steak and the burger were both really good. Overall it was an okay experience, not sure if we'd be back. But it's a really nice place with a nice spot to sit outside.

There is a clean shared kitchen and a comfortable place to sit and read. Its really conventient to hiking the White moutntains. It has most everything an Inn should have except the one essential thing : A quiet place to sleep. The Allegory Inn is near the corner of two major trucking routes and you will hear them coming and going all night long. That and the noise from the AC unit below us meant we go almost no sleep at all. We will not be returning. Very disappointing.

No one answers the phone, and when they finally return your voicemail, they're angry. When you check in, they're mad at you. Talk to them, at any time of the day, they're cold and short.

Like dude, you just bought a literal motel and cottage spot?!?! Which is for having people around? Why you so mad about it? Like, what did we do?! We are good guests! Sorry guys. Probably our last stay here. Spider-filled now, not as clean as it was, but the prices are higher. there is zero of the welcoming feeling that brought us here in the first place. Can't recommend.

The young couple and elder man were kind, communicative, and helpful. All of our needs were met. The bed was firm enough for me as a back-sleeper. One star is missing because, the walls are thin. We stayed in #2, ground level. We heard all footsteps, talking above and around us. We heard the pipes and plumbing when people flushed the toilet. I didn't expect that and as a light sleeper, I probably wouldn't have stayed more than 1 night. It was a great price & location from The Cog Railway, 20 minutes away. Several locations in that area require a 2 or 3 night minimum stay at least due to NH's ski tourism.

Say "You can stay here, and we'll let you use our facilities, but know it is more Days Inn than Omni 4-star since we haven't renovated yet." If I'd known that, I'd have been ok since the proximity to the mountain was perfect. Bottom line: The property is not up to Omni standards. Yeah, I knew it was a motel across the street and not the real deal, but I expected it to be staffed at least a bit? Recently renovated? Given a good scrub since the last owners left? * it hasn't been renovated since previous ownership. Dark, dank, terrible heating, a random fridge in the corner, sinks too small to fill a large water bottle, lightbulb out over the stairs.... * the pool was meh, but the towel situation appalling. * not enough coffee provided to last our stay. * three nights in a row I was woken in the middle of the night by a neighbor's music. * they'd "defeathered" the room prior to our arrival, as asked, but hadn't replaced the removed quilt with an additional blanket. No spares in the cabinets, either. And with no staff on hand, there was no solution without getting in the car. Do better, Omni.
