No hair dryer. I went and purchased one, but there was no electrical outlet in the bathroom other than one affixed to an old light which didn't have clearance for the GFI on the hairdryer. There was no other mirror in the room other than in the bathroom, so drying my hair was out of the question.

Rare 1950's motel in great location
Old fashioned motel being lovingly renovated. Rooms a little shabby but clean. Currently having major issues with staffing but staff pleasant, friendly and helpful. Located ideally for facilities in Lancaster. Nice cocktail bar onsite

Terrible
The receptionist tells us upon arrival that maybe the one who makes the breakfast will be there the next day. Well guess what? The door to the entrance was locked and there was no one there. No breakfast. The breakfast was included in the price and that's one of the reasons I booked. It's not worth $124. Also, I forgot my cell charger in the room and no one wrote to tell me that they found my charger in the room. So no more charger. Bad experience.

Lancaster Inn, New Hampshire
The motel dates from 1955. The new owners are making improvements and updates. The rooms have tiled floors instead of carpets. Makes the rooms look clean and new. The bed was comfortable. It was niice having a small table and 2 chairs. I loved the lobby, needs updating but hope they can keep the 50s vibe. The bar is small but friendly. Having a cigar room was a upscale touch. Since the motel is older, the electric outlets were scarce. There was a nice seating area in the front of the motel where people could gather and hang out. There is a Dunkin ,5 mile down the road one way and a restaurant about ,5 mile te other way.

They have no heat , it was 39 outside and about 50 inside the room. Bring your own blanket as they don’t give you more then a thin blanket.
