Curious what recs you might have for cheapo lodging options near the general vicinity Mt Washington massif?
My interest is solely in motel rooms, not bunk rooms or camping (though that would certainly make a very helpful separate thread).
Here are a few recs from me, divided up into what I think are the three main lodging regions:
Twin Mountain
- Convenient for trips that start from the cog, Lowe's, or Appalachia, although kinda long to Pinkham. (Also convenient if you're coming up the night before from that general direction.)
- This place has very basic motel rooms that are kinda small yet relatively bright & cheery, very clean (plus cheap bunks too, but I don't know what they're like):

- I stayed once in the "Inn" part, where the room was very small, kinda oldish, but still okay (plus motel rooms, but I don't know what they're like):

- I stayed in another motel around there once, and it was quite reasonable overall. My impression is that this area has lots of reasonably priced and reasonably decent motels.
Gorham
- Convenient for anything but the cog. But a bit long of a drive if coming up from Boston the night before for just one day of skiing.
- I've stayed here twice, and the rooms were very nice and fairly reasonably priced:

- I think this was previously a T4T sponsor:

- My impression is that this area has lots of fairly reasonably priced and very nice motels.
North Conway / Intervale / Jackson
- Convenient for anything but Lowe's or Appalachia. Best bet for coming up from Boston the night before and skiing out of Pinkham or the auto rd the next day.
- Problem is, my wife and I had a ski rental house in North Conway the last three years, so I have no idea where the cheap motels are!
