1. Swiss Chalets Village Inn
The Vibe
This 2-star is the closest option to the Mt Washington Hotel you’ll find on this list — just a five-minute drive. The 8.0 rating reflects honest value: spacious rooms, solid breakfast included, and a balcony in many units. The heated outdoor pool is a welcome sight after a day exploring the resort’s grounds.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with mountain or garden views, and the continental breakfast covers the basics — think cereal, pastries, and juice.
