Plain Kate's Inc

50’s Travel lodge with real towels, real bath mat, flannel sheets, and the BEST hot shower ever.

Quaint retro room. No TV but that was OK with us.

No fridge and microwave but the room is clean and tidy. The price is not expensive on this area and it is near to most of the sightseeing points.

Room was clean, Janice is very welcoming and friendly, units all on ground level, area is very safe. This is not the Hilton but if you can do without TV microwave and refrigerator it is great for the price. There is a nice grocery store / deli / coffee bar right down the road. It is in a fabulous location for Franconia attractions!

Great service and super clean

Location and price

It's just as the name says, Plain. There's no microwave or mini-fridge but a large & comfortable bed in a large rm. & quiet, even tho the interstate is close. There's a grocery store nearby that Kate sent me to, & the deli was more than adequate for my evening meal. I would definitely stay again.

Cute, nice rooms, the owner is super nice and kind, great value for the price

This is an older motel with an authentic retro feel but was clean, comfortable and convenient. Note that some online sites say this place is permanently closed but it’s not; it has a new name, All Ways Inn. (The saloon next door is not currently open.) My family came for a fall hiking trip to see the trees in the state park and we all agreed this was lovely. There are other ski towns nearby that are very populated and commercialized; this Inn and town are not, which was perfect for a mental reset. No tv in the room and we were not disappointed. Everything was very clean and comfortable and felt like family with doors open and keys inside when we arrived. There is no “office,” the host saw us arrive and walked up to guide us and even gave us local suggestions where to eat and sightsee. The rooms have front doors and back for beautiful porch sitting, and the river across the street is a must see! Beautiful with trails and benches to watch and listen to the water flow. We are at two locally owned restaurants (Dutch Treat and Hungry Bear Cafe) and they were both excellent. They gave us connected rooms which was convenient. I would have liked a mini fridge in the room but that wasn’t a deal breaker. If we ever return to Franconia, we will stay here.

Beautiful views, friendly staff, would definitely come back.
