The lodge is directly across the street from The Mount Washington Hotel - where you will probably spend some quality time. The lodge itself is bare-bones, much like a basic motel. There was no staff on site. We didn't even have a way to make coffee in the AM. In contrast, the main hotel across the street, about a 15-minute walk, door to door, is magnificent and the location of the lodge couldn't be better. The area is spectacular, with so much to do. If you are looking for an economical way to stay in the area, the Lodge works. But it might be worth the splurge to stay at the hotel across the street.
