Golden Gables Inn

I rented the king suite with the jacuzzi and fireplace for my birthday. Me and my boyfriend purposely got this room for the jacuzzi so we could warm up after a day of skiing, tubing and visiting the ice castles. Once we checked into the hotel and they charged my card they informed me that the jacuzzi jets didn’t work between 11:15 and 8:15 I felt that information should have been put on the website so we knew because then we wouldn’t have booked this room. Also once we were in the room in the light globe above the bed there was all dead bugs in the globe which was disgusting.

We picked the Golden Gables in for its proximity to North Conway and our climbing school. It worked out that the place is on the south end of town and very close to Eastern Mountain Sports — so it all worked out. The location is well within walking distance to a variety of places to eat and things to do (i.e. shopping, cinema, etc.). Bottom line, the place is clean, priced well, and the service is friendly.
We booked online and check-​in was super easy. No fuss, and a matter of getting the key from the front desk. They use keys, not key cards. Golden Gables is an older place… the linen covers are old, polyester. That aside, the place was great and provided us with all we needed. Endless supply of hot water, cable TV on a flat screen, and a place to crash after a long day of climbing.
Aside from the bed and TV, the room comes with a small fridge, desk, sofa, coffee table, and lighting. Golden Gables has coffee in the morning… that’s it… no breakfast, continental or otherwise; but food is close (just not included).
We booked a single room (3.210). It was clean and cleaned daily. This room does not provide much of a view. It faces adjacent to the valley, but during our stay we could look out into a quad area and see a big lighted Christmas tree which was nice.
Checking out was easy, but it could have been easier if I could just leave… that’s what happens when you use real keys still. All in all, the experience was good, and the place was always clean. It’ll keep you warm in the winter… thanks Golden Gables.

Love the Golden Gables Inn. This motel is always clean and the prices are reasonable. Service here is great and friendly.

This place is a very clean and reasonable place to stay. The pool and hot tub are nice and the location is very convenient. It only loses a star because of one unfriendly front desk individual and a leaking ac unit. All was resolved, however. We have been back several times now.

I was going to put just 4 stars due to the fact that we could see the beautiful scenery of the White Mountains through the gap between the door and the door jam of our room, but our experience with the concierge was priceless.
Despite my mother’s impressive haggling skills we were disappointed with not getting the AAA discount for our 1-​evening stay. Moved by compassion/​amusement, he acquiesced by giving each of us a voucher for a free medium blizzard at the local DQ. (Incidentally, the value of the blizzards for the four of us was equal to or exceeded the AAA discount for our rooms…)
It did hurt a tad when he flaunted the lovely 2 bedroom suite, complete with fireplaces and kitchen, but didn’t want to meet us halfway on the price as he thought that we would make a mess in the kitchen. Little did he know how domestic-​resistant each of us is.
He redeemed himself yet again by tolerating my mother’s multiple calls that night by misdial and/​or intimidation of ice-​seeking, even getting the ice for her.
Seattle’s Best coffee in the AM is an excellent choice and put me into the 5 star range, again despite the accusation that my mother was not really my mother, and that my sister and her friend were actually twins (they aren’t).
All in all, we had a clean, comfortable, and entertaining visit at the Golden Gables Inn. (Make sure to request the AAA discount!)

We stayed at the Golden Gables last week based on excellent reviews. We requested a room in a back building and we were very happy that very little of the road noise reached our ears. The beds were very comfortable and most everything was spotless. The exceptions were the front door with dirty handprints and the comforters, which were stained so badly we took them off the bed and threw them in the closet. Other than those things, we had a great stay and will definitely stay again if we’re in the area.

We arrived here around 7:30 on a Friday night and checked in… I believe the owner was the nice gentleman that checked us in and gave us some wonderful suggestions for dinner in the area. We went to our room which was on the second floor facing the main street. The room was very delightful and super clean. The room was updated as well as the bathroom with a beautiful large granite bathroom sink. The décor was just right with two nice comfortable wing chairs. The two queen beds were nicely adorned with beautiful bedding. There was also a microwave and small refrigerator in the room, which I think is always nice. The following day I walked around the grounds, they were very immaculate. As a side note, in the lobby they have fresh coffee, which is very good as well as menus from all the local restaurants in the area, what a nice idea! The check-​in and check-​out process were seamless. I would highly recommend this establishment and when we venture back to North Conway, we will definitely stay here again.

First time staying at Golden Gables and ready to go back. Great rates, so clean and spacious for a «motel.» I have stayed in a lot of places in the area and this is by far the best. I will definitely be coming back!

We have been staying at the Golden Gables Inn for 7 years now every summer for at least 1 to 2 visits per summer with my husband and 2 daughters. We always bring new families to join and every single time they are all so thrilled with the place. Jan does a great job keeping the grounds clean and the rooms are perfectly clean and very well kept. We use the fire pit area for grilling and roasting marshmallows at night with the kids. Pool is the perfect size and very clean. So convenient and close to shopping including: the outlets, supermarkets, restaurants and plenty of takeout. We take a very nice ride up to Santa’s Village from here (takes about 45 minutes but it is a nice drive). We wouldn’t stay anywhere else in No Conway we love it so much! Highly recommend it for families for summer vacationing. Jan the owner takes pride in this place and it shows.

I hate picking a new hotel because you just don’t know what you’re in for until it’s too late. Unilocal to the rescue of course, but still, there’s a roll of the dice. Thankfully the Golden Gables delivered and as a result we’ll be back.
Even though the approach to Golden Gables isn’t the most rustic (it’s directly across from D’Angelo’s sandwich shop on the main drag of No Conway), once you are headed to your room, you are instantly cut off from the traffic on the main drag and are in a quiet grassy area with an inground pool, patio area with a gas grill and a walled in seating area around a fire pit. There’s even a large climbing structure for the kids. Then… the Conway Scenic Railroad rumbles through the back of the property. Wave if you want to, ignore if you don’t. Sound good? It did to me too! Definitely a nice surprise.
Our room was generously sized and impressively clean. Bathroom was stocked and even the deck area (we were on the 2^nd floor overlooking the back yard) was without leaf litter or dirt. Whomever the cleaning crew is, they deserve a medal.
As a bonus, the front desk people are also friendly and helpful.
What I enjoyed the most is that despite the Golden Gables being one of many strip motels up and down the main drag, it’s as charming and relaxing as some of the larger and far more expensive resorts. The pool/​patio area and the train have a lot to do with that but there are other smaller factors that add up to make this place a gem.

We have stayed at the Golden Gables when visiting North Conway for about 20 years and have never been disappointed. The rates are very reasonable, the rooms clean and the atmosphere very relaxing.
Locally owned and every time we come, they are working on another improvement. This visit they added new table and chairs in the rooms with a new bed backboard. We always ask for a room in the back building on the second floor so we can relax on the balcony and read.
Playground, BBQ, benches, heated pool, hot tub and nicely landscaped. Friendly staff that make you feel like family. Free Wi-​fi. Almost forgot about the in-​room refrigerator and microwave.
Wave at the Conway Scenic Railway train when it goes by during their operating hours.

Hotel was great; clean, updated rooms, no special amenities but if you’re looking for a nice place to sleep in North Conway, this is the place.
Reason for 3 stars… There was a huge mixup between
and the hotel’s reservation system. Apparently the reservation didn’t go trough but there was no notification from either saying we didn’t have a reservation… dumb luck that we called to find this out on our 5−½ hr trip up. Hotel staff had TERRIBLE customer service and we were really disappointed the treatment we received for something that wasn’t our fault.

This Inn is the way to go if you want a comfortable, convenient and affordable stay in the White Mountains. I can’t compliment this place enough! I hope this review is helpful to those looking to stay in NH– we definitely will not stay anywhere else but here from now on.
We stayed in a king suite with jacuzzi– the room was absolutely pristine. The jacuzzi was perfect, the fireplace with timer kept the room so cozy, and we were able to control the heat in the room to our preference if we got too hot/​too cold. Nice overhead fan. Great flatscreen HD TV. Bathroom was very spacious and the water pressure perfect. The maid service was very professional.
We opted for the ski and stay package– absolutely to way to go if you want to ski because it’s the most affordable option. I was researching different packages versus getting discounted tickets at work, and this package was by far the best price! No issues whatsoever with the tickets– they were in our room waiting for us, no standing in line at Attitash to buy them or pick them up.
As for the customer service, it was top notch. We drove in late Friday night from Boston after work and did not arrive until 11:30pm. My boyfriend called the Inn to let them know about our late check in, and they were more than accommodating. They left our keys for us in a secure envelope since the front desk would not be open, and they also left a nicely detailed and personalized welcome letter, letting us know where to find our room and where to park. There was more than enough parking right in front of our room, we let ourselves in without any issues and found our ski tickets on the desk waiting for us. So easy.
Thanks GOLDEN GABLES for the wonderful weekend away in the Whites. Keep it up! We will most definitely be back!

Excellent place! Stayed in the king suite w/​fireplace and jacuzzi. Very clean, and totally exceeded expectations. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for in this case. Staff was very helpful in providing suggestions for dinner (Delany’s was great). If I had to choose anything to pick on, it would be the price and to unlock the door you turn the key to the right??? Will return for sure.

If you want outstanding accommodations with an extra touch, Customer Service, this is the place when visiting the White Mointains! Go ahead and pay extra $$ for less of an experience at a chain hotel. The choice is yours.
Thanks for the personal touch on NYE! A bottle of champagne chilling when we got back from snowmobiling! What chain does that these days? Happy New Year with continued success! Don’t Chang a thing!

I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
Me and my girlfriend planned a long weekend away in Conway, and found this gem by lucky chance. The price was great and the reviews looked great, so we stayed and we LOVED it. We go back every time we can. They also offer a discount for repeat customers.
Always clean. Always polite. Great, comfortable rooms. EXCELLENT rates.

A cute little place. The price was very reasonable and the location was excellent. A few minutes from the outlets. Also a few minutes from beautiful hikes. The room was super clean and comfortable.
Will definitely stay there again!

welcome to the batcave! only it doesn’t come with Alfred or any cool gadgets. we call it the batcave because the room we stayed in was darker than night. the walls were a deep forest green, punctuated by a window facing away from the sun… we had no trouble sleeping in. when we stepped out our door, we were blinded by daylight. my husband thought we turning into vampires. despite this, we still woke up in time to complete a 9 mile day hike on Franconia Ridge. price for our lodging was very reasonable, location was excellent. the room was spotless, and maid service came daily. we left a huge tip for the maid b/​c they kept the room so clean. i don’t think all the rooms were as dark as ours. nevertheless, on price point and location, we would stay at the batcave again.

I stayed here this past weekend as part of a snowmobile package with Northern Extremes. We got a room with 2 queens — room was pleasant enough with good heating system and huge bathroom. Closet was a good size as well. Location is great — not too far away from anything. Staff was pleasant. After the recent snowstorm, the parking lot and walkways were very clear and passable. I would definitely stay here again.

After deciding we were going to take a short weekday mini vacation up to North Conway with some friends to visit Storyland, the quest for a decent cheap hotel began. There are so many places to choose from in North Conway depending on what type of amenities you are looking for.
My best friend booked her room at Golden Gables and told me that a friend had stayed there and was very pleased. Although there were some more common places I wanted to try, I figured why not, then we’ll all be at the same place.
I was not sorry. Golden Gables is right on Route 16, across from D’Angelo, and about ¼ mile from the Tanger outlets. The grounds are extremely well kept and pretty and the staff was nothing but polite and accomodating. The hotel consists of 3 separate buildings, including double rooms, queen rooms, king rooms, suites and even some jacuzzi rooms. No restaurant on site, but they did have a pool, jacuzzi, laundry room, vending machine, ice machine, and a decent playground. All rooms have either a ground floor patio or private balcony. The older 2 buildings had front and back entrances, all opening up to the back of the hotel overlooking the pool, playground and nicely kept grounds… with plenty of grass to run around or just hang out.
The rooms were nice. We had a double queen room that was on the back side of the hotel away from the busy highway and we heard no noise what so ever. None from the highway or the rooms on top of or next to us. The rooms looked recently re done in neutral colors. There was a tv w/​cable, refrigerator and microwave, large closet, table and chairs and a very large, very clean bathroom with marble countertops… and one sink. Shower was great. HOT water… since I like a very hot shower! The carpets and floors were all very clean and well kept and the room did not smell like a hotel room, which was nice. We had a ground level room, so we had a small patio area with 2 chairs and a table. The room also had a wall mounted air conditioner with a remote, that we kept on all night with no noise at all.
Price was about $ 150/​night. I was very pleased with my stay here. Not only does it have the amenities I like, its close to everything North Conway has to offer, is family friendly, very clean and only about 15 minutes from Storyland. I can recommend Golden Gables with 100% confidence that you will be satisfied too!
