Beautiful old building, well maintained. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room was great. Bathrooms in these old inns are afterthoughts, this one was squeezed in and did not match the high nightly price the inn charges. Fiberglass tub/shower was adequate but tight so wondered why they bothered with the tub, should have just done a shower and gained some room. Vanity top was in good shape but laminate. More than one floor tile was cracked and in full view from sitting on the toilet, and these weren't old period tiles so no charm. When we booked we received a notice that the dining room booked up so we should make a dinner reservation in advance. We called a week ahead of time and they initially said they were booked up. Very surprised at this as we were in house guests. They called back and said they could seat us at 5:30. We sat and had dinner in what was initially an empty dining room, then a few more tables came in. When we finished the dining room was 3/4 empty with only a few tables seated. Seems their chef only wants to serve a few folks at time and/or one server is all the help they can find. I have stayed at a lot of inns and never have had this issue. All in all a nice stay but the Inn seems to spend more energy promoting how great it is rather than just being great.

Very cozy and quiet. Perfect for relaxing and slowing down the pace.

We stayed at the RHI for a late summer weekend getaway. As people in our early 50s, we want a nice room, kept-up grounds, great food, and others our age to meet and chat with. The place was perfect for us. Our room was the Nest, and it was spacious and comfortable. We used the jacuzzi in the room. We loved the breakfasts. Tea time treats were amazing. We didn’t use everything the Inn had to offer, but we appreciated it all was there. The RHI is near Franconia Notch State Park, and that was our main activity in the area. It too was breathtaking. We enjoyed our stay greatly and highly recommend the RHI.
