“Ghosts or Goblins”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 19, 2012

Used Groupon and read reviews so pretty much knew what to expect. The location is very nice with good views and landscaping is very nice. Yes it is older and needs some TLC but the price is right and wanted to try it out as we have stayed up the street at Mountain View. When we got there we needed food and the restaurant was not open but the pub was and filled the need. The draw for some of the guests was the ghost stories and our experience was somewhat minor but duely noted. When we went into our room and closed the door to look around after a seversl seconds I noticed the Do Not Disturb Signd flutter on the door knob and there was no breeze in the room. (A warning of things to come?) The staff is very nice.

Room Tip: No TVs in rooms so bring your computer or tablet. Did not appear to have air conditioners in all ro...

“Lovely Old Fashion Inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

My husband and I went for our 20th anniversary, had to check it out because we are huge fans of Ghost Hunters. We stayed in room 16 in the carriage house. Loved it, the room was beautiful, and big. We had a couple of experiences, but didn't see any apparitions ( a little disappointed about that ). The staff was really nice. We ate in the pub, food was good. We really liked it and would absolutely go back again. I like the charm of old places and this place definitely had it.

Room Tip: Room 16 in the carriage house was big and charming.

“Quaint little secluded place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 11, 2012

A couple months back I saw a groupon for this place and decided to buy it for a long-weekend get-away. We live in the Boston area, so it was about 2.5 hours north of us. We were able to take 93 almost the entire way, making it relatively easy/direct. It's about 20 minutes off the highway, into the mountainous countryside.

The grounds were beautiful, and the Inn was very nice. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to attend to our needs. My wife and I ate at the 2 Kings Restaurant at the Inn, and we were very pleased we did. The portion sizes were very generous, and the prices couldn't be beat. The continental breakfast was just fine, it would have been nice to have some fresh fruit (even just apples or oranges), but they had plenty of bread-stuffs there.

My wife and I took a walk along the road abutting the property, where they were going to build condos, but funding apparently fell through. It's a relatively short but nice walk. We saw several different types of birds, including a gaggle of turkey's, and a long-tail deer that just stared at us as we walked by.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a "typical New England get-away".

“Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

The Spalding Inn is exactly what they say it is on the web site. You get the real thing. People are apparently expecting something like a 5 star resort when they come to the inn. Its a historic inn people... what part of that don't you get? There's going to be noises and creaks and it's going to look like grandmas house when you walk in. The staff is impeccable and most of the guests truly appreciate what it stands for and what it is. I just wish some would just take a step back and smell the fresh mountain air, put their phones away and just relax...that is what it is there for.

“very old fashioned inn”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

A good place to be "unplugged" as you have no tv and just a playstation area for the kids. As if you were back in the 1950's...fine for me, but not exactly what we expected. My teenagers would have been bored if they weren't so tired from spending the day at Franconia Notch.

Dinner was really good and well priced, but maybe someone didn't show up for work that night, since it took forever to get service and only two people were working. I think one was the front desk clerk! The chicken parm was HUGE and delicious and the salmon was great.

Room Tip: some rooms are supposedly "haunted"..we slept fine in one that had no ghosts
