Wonderful classic motel
Parker's motel is a great circa 1940s-50s motel - truly a classic from a bygone era. Great old architecture, great sign for the historic minded roadie. Located along old US Route 3 (the main route before the coming of I-93), just south of Franconia Notch State Park in Lincoln, NH, this motel takes you back to a simpler time of travel, before the interstate highways made it possible to travel hundreds of miles and see absolutely nothing. To the motel: Very good service - the manager actually showed us our room beforehand, to see if we approved. Indeed we did! The rooms were very nice, clean and well kept as was the entire property. Out back was a small but attractive swimming pool. There are spectacular views of the surrounding White Mountains from all parts of the motel. The price was very reasonable to boot. Oh, and one more bit of trivia for the history fanatic or UFO enthusiast. US Route 3, in exactly this area, is the highway that Betty & Barney Hill drove down during their classic 1961 UFO encounter. Anyway, very nice classic motel with alot of character. We will definitely stay again next time we are in the area!
