Hotels near Hill, NH

“Friendly staff and nice clean room. Room looked recently renovated which was nice for an old building. We stayed in the haunted room but nothing went bump in the night!”

“I drove about 90 minutes from Dover, NH to spend two days at the Cardigan Lodge, which is owned and operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club. I was really impressed with what I found there.

Check in was low key and easy. The lodge is well built and really well maintained. I made my reservation earlier enough so that I could get a room of my own, understanding that showers and the bathroom were at the end of the hall.

The rooms are a lot like dorms you might find in a European hostel: bunk beds and nearby storage space. My room had a queen sized bed and a desk; with a fan and a screened window that opened.

I arrived at 3 pm and relaxed in rustic rocking chairs and picnic tables until dinner was served at 6 pm. Because I opted for the meal plan I would be able to have breakfast and dinner in the group dining room (I got a sack lunch each day, based on choices I made the day before).

This is a hiking destination. Large and small groups of hikers came and went throughout my stay. I found the trails to be well marked and well maintained. I saw no litter and very clean campsites throughout my hikes.

I probably should have brought a compass and a water bottle, but having forgotten to pack them I kept my hikes to 2 miles or so, and got in three such hikes during my stay.

I thought the kitchen staff did an outstanding job with both the menus and the cooking. This is lodge vacationing at its best.

Rooms: My room didn’t have a chair, but that’s probably a good thing, because it encouraged me to do my reading in the library, which has a wood burning fireplace and a great selection of books about the area.

Walkability: Included in the hiking options is an all-person accessible hiking trail.”

“Worst place i have ever stayed! The room was super run down and smelled. Broken furniture, chipped paint, water stains, and NO HOT WATER! No way to check out. Told to leave the key at the desk. Advertised with pool and it has been shut down. Said they could call other hotels and we could swim there. Plus people partying in the hall till 3am. Would not recommend. Was overpriced for the particular night we stayed. I feel I should be refunded. Definitely false advertising.”
