Hotels

Route 16 through North Conway is packed with basic motels, reasonably priced in the off season (around $40-$50), but more expensive in peak travel times such as summer and ski-season weekends and fall foliage season. Fronting the commercial strip, these motels don't offer much in the way of a pastoral environment, but most are comfortable and conveniently located. Try the budget School House Motel (tel. 603/356-6829), with a heated outdoor pool; The Yankee Clipper Motor Lodge (tel. 800/343-5900 or 603/356-5736), with a pool and miniature golf (the cheaper rooms lack phones); or the slightly pricier Green Granite Inn (tel. 800/468-3666 or 603/356-6901), with 88 rooms, suites with whirlpool, and a free continental breakfast.
