Well.. I guess I'm not even sure where to start. I would tell you I had the best night ever away with my mom except for this hiccup called a hotel. My mom had stayed here previously never with a bad review so we opted to save 50 bucks and stay outside of North conway. Never again! And most definitely never at this hotel again. 
As soon as we walked into the room (we were in 18) we could see and smell the uncleaniness. Literally the only thing clean about it was the 2 beds in which we slept. Both with bright white linens and a cheap summer like top blanket. (Not referring to the decorative blanket either lol) 
Which brings me to the first issue HEAT or lack there of. The thermostat was clearly there for looks.. registers were ice cold proving there was no heat escaping. It was 30 or below outside that night and literally the heat didn't kick on one time! Thankfully we had extra blankets in the dresser.. mine in which looked like someone had taken scissors to and cut a 100 holes in (photo below) 
There was food crumbs next to the bed and under the dresser. 
The refrigerator had so many crumbs in the bottom as well, I left my leftover food in the car.. no way was I putting it in there 
The microwave.. same gig.. loads of food crumbs
The mirrors had so much dirt and streaks I literally wrote hello and you could see it! (Look close at the pic posted you can see and that wasn't even the mirror I wrote on lol) 
There were cobwebs in every corner of the room, including inbetween the night stand and the beds. 
The heater vents looked like they had never been taken apart and cleaned before... literally. 
Luckily my mom brought her own hair dryer cause no way.. you couldn't even barely see the coil things it had so much dust
The water was so hard in the shower my mom was convinced she didn't like the shampoo she had brought because it made our hair so so hard feeling.. nope I've never felt such hard water.. softener helps you know
But speaking of shampoo.. make sure you bring your own cause all they offer is soap and an empty soap and shampoo dispenser on the shower wall. They must like the things just there for looks thing

Pros

Check in was super easy.. even without a reservation 
There was a coffee maker if you dared to use the water 
Cable worked
Convenient for a smoker to just be able to step outside your door and have a butt.. but don't forget that key card cause the door locks behind you lol


My advice, pay the extra for a nicer hotel

Overall our stay was good there’s a great bake yard for kids to play, picnic tables, great pool and play area. The “new” owners were very nice to deal with and concerned for our comfort. With that being said I hope the “new” owners invest in quality of the rooms, it’s a hidden gem best wishes

Hidden gem

This motel was a one night stay after a week long vacation in the area. We had to leave where we were staying and needed a place to stay for a busy Saturday night. The Villager charged the same price as the beautiful, clean, and spacious accommodations we had come from but they should not even have charged half of that. Hair and other peoples bathroom items in the bathroom… no warm blankets… poor wi-fi… small tv selection… dangerous outside child’s play area… odors galore including main office reeking of cigarettes… and the worse of it was NO BLINDS which meant no real privacy and tons of light shining into room all night long. They use clothes pins to close the curtains that they provide and the air conditioning unit was duck taped in.  Thank god it was only for the night. Way way way overpriced. Also on- line when making reservation it kept flashing that this was the last available room but when we arrived… there were several available rooms. The fridge barely keeps stuff cold. And I kept cutting my foot on poking out metal from the bed frame. I will say that the staff were friendly and willing to supply us with some of the requests we made. That is not enough to ever stay there again. Never again. Bad enough that I had to write this review to save others from a horrible experience.

DON’T DO IT

Avoid staying in this low-grade place. It might spoil your pleasant trip to White Mountain region... The attitude of the host (i think his name is Greg) is  not acceptable! Room  condition is not acceptable even for the budget motel!!
Avoid at all cost....

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - AVOID!

When we booked, it was advertised that you could choose smoking or non-smoking room, that the outdoor pool was heated. We got there, the heated pool was not heated anymore and no smoking room. We were like, ok, no big deal but then we checked the sheets and they were stained. Let's just say, we left. The only thing that was right, was that they didn't charge us. It was a pain, since we had no other reservation anywhere else, but we figured it out. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else. Good thing we were after Labor Day. Prior to that, we would have been out of luck to find another place.

Stay Away!

First of all, Greg the person that run the villager is a amazing person, very friendly and catered to my friends and family. We had a great time when we stayed at the end on June and we are planning again to go next year again. In fact my nephews were there with me in June and are planning to go again in August. Greg and Christian even hosted fire works for us and put on a great show!
Thank you and can't wait for next year!!!

Great vacation place to stay!

We came for the Fourth of July with our dogs. We stayed in a deluxe room with 2 beds. It was perfect, the room had a mini fridge and a microwave. Greg was excellent, he assured us that we were safe by wearing his mask, and guests were wearing masks while checking in. On the 4th they were playing music near the office it was a great atmosphere! We played in the pool, the playground, and walked down the path to the river where the dogs and 5 year old enjoyed. They have fire pits right near each room! I will definitely be coming back!

Great family vacation with the dogs.

Booked as a group with other family members for two nights.  Mine and my two daughters room was pretty clean.  The carpet wasn't fully vacuumed, and there was what appeared to be a used towel hanging in the bathroom.  But overall, the beds were clean, bathroom/sink area clean, and we had clean towels for the three of us.  My daughters and I loved the campfire area next to the pool, and I'd say that was the highlight of the stay.  
     Unfortunately, when we were getting ready to leave two days later we realized my daughters jewelry that had been left in a small box on the nightstand when we first arrived was missing.  The day before when we came back to our room it had been serviced (found a towel that was stained), and my youngest daughter's bag had been moved from the floor in front of the dresser to the head of the bed next to the nightstand where the jewelry had been, but my oldest daughters bag remained on the floor next to the radiator (why wasn't the other bag moved off the floor?). My family helped me go through the room, bags, vehicles, and trash, but we couldn't find it anywhere. We talked to the owner, and he said his two 15 year old nieces cleaned the rooms yesterday, and that he would have them look for the jewelry when they clean again.   He took a description of the jewelry, and said he'd call me with an update.  Two days later he called to tell me that they didn't find anything, and I was reimbursed for my stay.  My daughter was devastated, and it doesn't look good for them.  This place has the potential to be fantastic, but they're not off to a very good start.

Started off good

This was a group booking. Jewelry came up missing. Owner commented it was strange, someone else reported missing jewelry as well. He claimed his 15 year old nieces cleaned the rooms. He couldn't ask them if they had seen anything because they were sleeping. No empathy, no apologies and advised he would call us with an update once he could speak with them. We have heard nothing and it's almost 24 hours later. Both mornings we knocked on office door and rang the doorbell. There was a sign saying if office is closed to call a certain number for Shawn the owner. We called the number multiple times and it was over 30 minutes before we got an answer-unprofessional. Upon check in, he never asked for my ID to verify it was me. Dirty towels in rooms, dirty pillow case sticking out from behind the dresser, there were ants in the room that got into the food. Wall in bathroom had crumbling sheetrock, bed was damp and toilet wouldn't flush right. As a Travel agent this experience was very disturbing and I definitely will not reccomend anybody my clients to stay at this location.

Beware

I can't get over how clean they keep this establishment! The staff is so accommodating and friendly! My kids love spending hours at their beautiful pool! They have a bonfire at night! Wonderful experience
