    Crab Cake Benedict with homemade applesauce
    Maureen B.

    My go-to when in North Conway. In good weather you can sit outside, upstairs, and overlook the park and train station. Brought my friend (her first time) and we sat in the corner with a great view of all the interesting items on the walls. The menu has so many choices - if you like game, there's lots of options. Fresh sausage, too! I had the crab cake Benedict with asparagus, and homemade applesauce (served warm) - both totally delicious! Our server was attentive and not pushy - everything appeared in perfect timing. My hot chocolate was just the right temperature and perfectly chocolatey! Bonus: I sat next to an electrical outlet so I was able to charge my old phone while we relaxed in a peace-filled atmosphere and enjoyed our delicious breakfast. Thank you, Stairway Cafe, for providing consistent quality in food & service! P.S. My favorite part: the Daniel Webster quote on the back of the menu.

    Yum! We walked here after scoring a sweet parking spot for our 11:30 train ride. Be sure to read the stairs on your way up!! No wait at all seated near the heater on this chilly morning. Drink order taken almost as soon as we sat down. This is one of those menus where they are so many excellent choices it's hard to decide. I ordered the Omelette Chèvre which was quite large and overstuffed with bacon, spinach, roasted red pepper and so much goat cheese. Almost too much but it was tasty. The rye bread was excellent!!! I asked if the applesauce was homemade and when our server said 'yes' I had to have it!! It was served warm, but honestly was the consistency of typically jarred sauce. Was expecting a chunky cinnamon-y delight and this came up a bit short. My husband ordered the corned beef hash also with rye & applesauce. He ate it all and so that's always a good sign he enjoyed it. Overall would recommend - fresh ingredients, great service and if you like rooster and chicken decor this is the place for you!!!

    Delicious food in a tiny, adorable space! Great service too!! I had a lobster roll and it was packed with fresh lobster. So glad we stumbled upon this place!

    Great view of the village. Train station across the street. Outdoor seating on the deck facing the station. Good food and coffee.

    Want a great breakfast place in North Conway? This is one of a rare few. It was a sunny warm 59F in late Fall and the other popular breakfast joint wouldn't let us sit outside so we tried Stairway and it was excellent. They were accommodating with our outdoor needs and were friendly. The coffee was dark and strong with prompt refills despite us being the only ones on the tiny 2nd floor bartop deck overlooking the square and mountains. Vegetarian options were great as were carnivore delights like local game sausage including venison, boar, elk, buffalo and duck. The raw sausage is available for takeout, too! A splendid breakfast in a tourist strip.

    Recently tried this amazingly cute place in North Conway while my Airman was in town! What a great breakfast, the potatoes/hashbrowns were cooked and seasoned to perfection. All the meals we chose were delicious! I had the hash and eggs, the hash was mint! Chopped nice and fine, seasoning was just phenomenal, and portion size was perfect! Coffee, was a nice dark roast, just what I like. The place is small, arrive early or be prepared to wait! Two servers for this small space, they were busy and still were happy to help and bring more coffee as needed. If you're in the area, stop in. We'll worth it!!

    Corn Beef Hash
    Justine T.

    I am not sure what the hype about this place is. We went for breakfast on a Wednesday morning. I ordered corned beef hash with a poached egg and baked beans. 1. The corned beef hash is more carrots than anything else. It tasted awful! I've never seen corned beef made with these type of ingredients. 2. The breakfast potato's were tasteless and soggy. 3. The baked beans tasted like maple syrup and ketchup. 4. My poached eggs were severely over cooked. 5. We waited 50 min for breakfast 3 breakfasts of eggs, toast, and a meat = $50. I don't understand. I do not recommend.

We loved the water slides, cleanliness, and friendliness of the lifeguards and staff at the waterpark. It was so quiet mid week, we were sometimes the only ones in the baby area. The hotel is clean and affordable for our family; we wanted a space for our baby to sleep while we stayed up, so the Alcove Room was amazing for this purpose! The view from our room is beautiful, and the hotel is quiet. We loved that if we didn't want to go outside into the cold, we didn't have to. Breakfast, coffee, pizza, dinner, and a bar were all a walk away from our room. Housekeeping is great. The hotel has a texting service so if your room needs attention or if you need toiletries/towels, you can text the front desk. I would definitely return midweek for the free water park admission! Hotel room needs some TLC, but it's clean and good for a casual getaway!

The staff quickly remedied the situation and we went to a new room on the second floor. Seems all the rooms have a terrace which was nice and our view was beautiful! The second room was not as updated but was clean and smelled fine. There was no loud sound issue which was nice. Occasionally heard kids running but nothing to crazy or late at night. One thing that I didn't like was the wall air conditioning units. Like the last time we were there, it turns off in the middle of the night, ugh! The sheets were kinda scratchy as well. Standard amenities: hair dryer (works well!), iron and ironing board, safe, in room Starbucks coffee, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, lotions, cable, alarm radio/clock What I like about this hotel is the attached water park and the fun activities they have for the kids. Nightly marshmallow toasting (not a smore! Marshmallow only) and fun things like movie night, pool parties, arcade, and kite making activities. Plenty of parking but far away from the rooms on the left side of the hotel.

For starters, the staff could not be nicer! Also, we love the etiquette sign on the front door that clearly states their cell phone and child policy. It was so nice to relax at breakfast without screaming children and people on their phones. With regards to the food, the asparagus omelette was the best omelette my MIL has ever eaten! Light and fluffy and absolutely delicious! The order of 3 pancakes are way too much for one person! One pancake is plenty. Cons- there was inconsistency with the hash browns. The first day I ordered them there were no onions which was great, but some of the potatoes were warm and others were ice cold. Because they didn't have onions on the first day I order them again on day two and this time they had onions which I cannot eat so this inconsistency wasn't good for me or my stomach. Also, as someone who can't eat gluten and doesn't eat eggs, I was a little disappointed by the limited gluten-free options. That said, the rest of my group was very happy with their meals!
