Nordic Village Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Every person that I met on the property was extremely warm, friendly and helpful. From the women in reception to the man cleaning the pools to the man who fixed a little problem in our room to the maids I met in the hall, everyone was welcoming and hospitable. The grounds were well taken care of and filled with things to do and the pools and hot tubs were exceptionally clean."
"The hotel is very nice and easy to get to. Paid parking is convenient. Staff is friendly especially the breakfast servers. Our room on the top floor was clean and comfortable and had a view of downtown Manchester and surrounding area. My only complaint was that the large sloping windows of the top story were dirty and obscured the view."
"Great location less than 10 minutes down the road from Crawford Notch. Very friendly staff. Large, extremely clean & spacious studio w Murphy bed. Lots of natural light and a small deck off the living room.
Pro tip: check in before dark so you can appreciate the property.

"Been visiting for over 15 years. Fantastic place to stay. Priced very reasonably. Friendly staff and evening entertainment for the kids. Can’t wait to come back in December. "
"I surprised my wife with a 4 day, 3 night stay for her birthday. The hotel was great with two pools, two jacuzzis and we saw a couple of free movies at night.
I also surprised her with a 1 hour couples massage. The masseuses were great and professional the only downside was the massage room is in the lower level next to the main mechanical room. I always expect a 1 hour massage to be a quiet relaxing experience. Not one hour of loud AC equipment and pump motors one door away. DON"T DO THE MASSAGE! GO ELSEWHERE."
New Hampshire is a fantastic destination for those who are up at cockcrow and appreciate easy access to adventure. Start your day by exploring the breathtaking White Mountain National Forest, where countless trails offer stunning views and fresh mountain air. Alternatively, head to Lake Winnipesaukee for a morning of kayaking or paddleboarding, soaking in the serene beauty of the water before the crowds arrive. If you're a history buff, the charming town of Portsmouth offers quaint streets lined with 17th-century buildings and delightful boutiques, perfect for a leisurely stroll. For a dose of culture, visit the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, where you can admire works by renowned artists before the day gets busy. And don’t forget about the picturesque fall foliage—there's nothing quite like an early morning drive through the scenic Kancamagus Highway. To fuel up for these adventures, choose a hotel that offers a free breakfast, making it easy to grab a bite and hit the road. Areas like North Conway are particularly suited for travelers, as you can enjoy both the stunning landscape and a range of welcoming hotels ready to kickstart your day with a hearty meal before your next adventure.
