North Colony Motel & Cottages — Hotel in Bartlett

My fiance and I rented a room from here to enjoy a kid free getaway for the weekend. We stayed Friday through Monday. The staff were super friendly and the price was comparable to other motels and inns nearby. The room was very clean, so no complaints there. The only thing that was a bit of a disappointment with the room was that there was no fan in the bathroom and the window in the shower was not the most functional and was very rusty, the curtains in the one window in the bedroom was very broken and super hard to open and close, there wasn't any actual handsoap in the bathroom so we just used the complimentary shampoo, and everything in the room was mostly outdated. Again, no super huge issues, everything worked and while we didn't spend a lot of time in the room, these were things that would have made our stay just a bit better. There are, however, great play structures for kids! Grills for guest use! And a fire pit! 🔥 You could hear the train which I loved 😍 and all around had a lovely time. I would honestly say that if we were returning to the area to stay again, I am on the fence about whether I would return to this motel or try...

I remember one time in college when my team and I were skiing/racing at Attitash and we got stranded there overnight because a REALLY BAD storm came in late Saturday afternoon, and we couldn't get back to Vermont (we were supposed to race Killington next) until later on Sunday morning. They put us up at North Colony Motel & Cottages, (we luckily got the last two "Cottages" available) and our ten-person team hunkered down for the night in Bartlett. We were shown such an AMAZING amount of "New Hampshire hospitality" it really was incredible.

Our team was a USCSA Eastern Division Team based out of the Berkshires (down in Western Massachusetts) and we raced ALL OVER the New England region, (as well as in upstate New York), and honestly NO PLACE treated us better (including in Massachusetts itself) than New Hampshire did. Whether we were at Sunapee, Loon, Attitash, Bretton Woods, Black, Dartmouth Skiway, Gunstock, Cannon, Crotched, Cranmore, Pat's Peak, Ragged, Wildcat or Whaleback, we were ALWAYS treated EXCEPTIONALLY well at the NH 🏔️'s. As the Team Coach, I recall that with a lot of clarity...

Just returned from another wonderful trip staying here. This is the 6th year we have stayed here and it has been a great experience every time. The rooms are comfortable and most importantly, affordable to bring your family too. The large playground will keep your kids occupied for hours. The pool is large, very clean and perfect for all ages. The location is great for access to many ski areas, theme parks, restaurants and shopping. The best is at the end of the day, you can relax in the screened front porch area or hang out by the fire pit and enjoy time with friends, family and other guests. One of our friends made a trip up to surprise our son for a night. She loved the environment and wants to come with us next year. This is a family run business and they are by far some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They strive to make sure guests have an enjoyable visit and always stop to chat with everyone. We’re already looking forward to our...
