"3.6-rated Best Western on US-3 with indoor pool, sauna, game room, and free breakfast for value-conscious families."
About The Hotel
Woodwards White Mountain Resort is a 3-star, 894-review property on US Route 3 in Lincoln positioned as a value family base. The sprawling complex spans multiple buildings with an indoor pool featuring a hot tub, sauna, game room with classic arcade games, and on-site tavern with dinner service. Guests praise the convenient location near attractions like Flume Gorge and ski areas, free breakfast, and reasonable rates starting at $119 per night. The property attracts snowmobilers, skiers, and families year-round. However, reviews note varying upkeep standards, limited soundproofing between rooms, and the older property aesthetic typical of roadside resorts rather than modern hotels.
What Guests Are Saying
“A very nice property, lots of amenities, very pleasant staff and full breakfast. Great value.” — c C., 5 stars
“Definitely not your traditional Best Western layout, but it still has a bunch of the BW staples someone may be used to. There are multiple buildings spread out across a wide complex. There are two pools (including an indoor one w/hot tub for use in the winter). There’s an arcade room. There’s a bar/restaurant attached to the main lobby. My room had a large fridge and microwave, along with a small kitchen sink (something I wish more hotels would have!) Breakfast offered the typical Best Western choices (scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles) and ample seating for when its busy. This is a very popular spot for snowmobilers during the winter, as a trail goes right through the resort. It’s also convenient for skiers, with Loon and Cannon a short drive away.” — Shaun G., 5 stars
“Comfortable room, great breakfast, staff was nice. Location just off the highway and easy to find. Very close to Flume Gorge and other attractions. There are multiple buildings and you have to walk outdoors to the breakfast/restaurant/indoor pool, something to note in winter. It would be comfortable to walk around in summer. My only issue with the room was the noise level, very little noise insulation so heard a lot from upstairs neighbors, cleaners, people walking by outside etc. The pool was a nice temperature, pretty warm, lots of kids. Sauna was nice and hot (but not quiet at all, can hear all kids yelling in the pool). The hot tub looked nice but I did not go in because it was full of bros who looked like they were never going to leave. There was also a surprisingly large game room with classic arcade games like Pac-man, pinball games like Stranger Things, a pool table, claw machines, and a whole bunch of stuff, and even couches for parents to sit while kids play in the arcade which is a nice touch. The attached tavern had great dinner - the veggie mac and cheese did not disappoint! You can eat there (it was bustling, had live music on Saturday night) or order online for takeout which was convenient. Overall, not the most quiet stay, but it was nice and good for families.” — Becki H., 4 stars

Guest reviews
What guests are saying about Woodwards White Mountain Resort.
"Cute place... Felt like I stepped right back into the '60s traveling with my mom and dad. It must have been redone at some point and very well at that. Our bed was very comfortable, room was very clean, and breakfast was great...though very typical of "free breakfast," it was nicely presented. I'll bet it's pretty in the summertime, but we got a really sweet breakfast treat when we looked out the window... I think it snowed just for us! To sum it all up, it was clean, comfortable, nostalgic, and the price was great. I would definitely stay there again without hesitation."

Despite attempts to ventilate the room, the issue persisted. The cleanliness of the room was also a concern, as evidenced by the accumulation of dirt on the floor and under the bathroom counter, as well as the presence of pet hair. Regarding the dining experience, the restaurant is closed on Mondays, and the breakfast service was suboptimal. Specifically, the eggs were undercooked very watery, the sausage was excessively salty, and the selection of creamers was limited no flavored varieties,with only green tea available no varieties. Furthermore, there was a lack of hot chocolate options for both children and adults who do not consume coffee. The butter was not readily available at the waffle station, and the whipped cream was not accessible, resulting in food cooling down before all items could be gathered. The remodeled rooms are spacious and well-appointed. However, the beds were uncomfortable, exhibiting lumps and depressions, which detracted from the overall experience, especially considering the extended travel period. The bartender on Sunday evening provided excellent service and was able to prepare a preferred beverage. Our room was on the end so only one side of us had other people in which had young children running and jumping around till later in the night. As seniors we go to bed earlier, which didn't happen for our two night stay, not until the kids were quiet. The grounds were very manicured fun games all around the grounds cornhole,shuffle board. The pool area was clean, unfortunately the sauna was out of order which was one reason I chose this hotel over others. Since we are hikers it is nice to sit in one after a long day. The hot tub was clean warm temperature just not big enough for how large the hotel is, some jets didn't work and was overtaken by children most the time. Overall we made the best of it, the location was perfect the flume was close by, as was the Basin. It's a beautiful area in which we enjoyed our hikes."

View on Google"Great pool and arcade. Corn hole outside and other lawn games. Pretty grounds and a deck along water behind the restaurant. Pretty babbling stream behind the rooms. Nice to have the sports bar and grill for live music food and drinks. The hotel needs to increase the floor cleaning. I regularly found long dark hairs on the floors in our rooms and in the pool and hot tub area. Ugh. Otherwise the entire place smelled and felt clean. Note: The towels for the pool and sauna are very thin, not soft, and small. They fit our toddler age 4, perfectly. If you are an adult and plan to sit in the sauna, and of course cover your naked body, then bring your own normal or large pool towel until they get normal/decent size pool towels for use by guests. The free breakfast has great hours and is typical good. Although they need to work on the layout. Things are out of order, from a guest user experience, and people are regularly bumping into each other. The hotel location was great! Close to shopping, skiing, restaurants, family entertainment, hiking, and the river walk! Tons to do in this area and I look forward to coming back to town and staying at this resort. The price is right!"
