What guests think
At Indian Head Resort, guests consistently praise the scenic mountain-and-lake setting, family-friendly pools and hot tubs, and generally welcoming staff, while noting dated rooms, occasional cleanliness lapses, and mixed restaurant experiences with periodic closures or slow service.
Many enjoy on site activities like paddle boats, a small arcade, a viewing tower, and occasional live music. Noise between rooms, occasional maintenance problems (weak AC or heat, plumbing, or mold), and crowded pool areas are also mentioned. Overall, it suits families and casual getaways more than travelers seeking modern, luxury finishes.

The indoor pool/hot tub contained excessive chlorine levels, rendering it unusable due to severe eye irritation. Only drinks allowed at the pool if you purchased at bar and bar was closed 2 days of our stay. Bed in room was very hard and checkout we had no hot water

our stay was ok......the outdoor pool was fun.....in the snow. indoor pool was very cloudy as was the hot tub. the roof was leaking at the side of the inside pool/outdoor wall side ( dangerously in need of repair !!! Staff was very friendly....disappointed our room was across the street from the 2nd room we booked.....unable to get rooms in same building,,,let alone on same floor (we had grandchildren with us. Rooms were dark and dingy.....bathrooms not super clean. We used to bring our children here every Summer for years.....appears there have been very little if any updates to the rooms. We came and stayed .....going to Ice Castle (which were wonderful....no disappointments) Fortunately, our Grandchildren (the 2 youngest ones did not notice our disappointment and they want to come and stay in the Spring/Summer. We didn't promise !!! Said "maybe" This is constructive criticism. Thank you for the opportunity to review.

Many black hairs in bathtub and on floor in bathroom. I folded the sheets back to find 3 more same color and thickness as those found in the bathroom. The doors are rotted at the bottoms. I have stayed with you folks in past, but I am glad there are a miriad of choices in the area. My plus for the property, the night and food was handled very well, hats off to that team.

The view and feel of the resort was wonderful…an older resort with a mountain retro vibe but the cleanliness and condition of our room was disappointing. Black hairs on our bed in multiple spots (but they gladly brought us new sheets)…soiled ceiling tiles in bathroom and overall in clean feeling. Needs updating badly. Room was spacious and had a fun flip switch fireplace. Nice balcony overlooking water/mountain. Very close to Franconia flume gorge…few minutes.

It was a last minute booking so we were excited. At first glance the room looked good but as we settled we found clothes left from the last guest on the floor. The bath tub had some random hair left behind. There was no soap in the dispenser in the shower and the closet sliding door was off the track and not easily moveable and the mirror on it was broken. Overall the property was very nice, the staff was friendly and accommodating when we asked to switch rooms. The pool area was nice. Beautiful location.

Location is fabulous with the pemi running right behind it & the Mountain View’s from personal deck. Outdated and dirty rooms, ie 204 king w/ lakeview had food/crumbson carpet, toilet was quickly cleaned, dust bunnies in light fixtures to outlets. Open Tissue box appearred to have someone’s leftover bodily fluids/drainage all over it. 419 was spotless with more uodated furnishings (double/king mtn view) and air conditioning worked great! no outside alcohol on grounds /pool informed has to be purchased there but bar didn’t open until 4 some days :/ Paddle boats were unusable day after rainfall, filthy and full of water, land mines of goose droppings left untouched all over beautiful lawn.

Rooms
Many rooms offer mountain or lake views, some with balconies or electric fireplaces, but decor and TVs are dated, soundproofing is weak, and several units are located across the street from the main building; some guests also find beds or pillows uncomfortable.

My boyfriend and I stayed here one night for a spontaneous trip and we absolutely loved it! Devin was super nice and helpful when we were checking in. He gave us a free room upgrade since they weren’t very busy, and he gave us a late checkout the following day so we could enjoy the pool! We had a balcony lake front room and the view was beautiful! The indoor and outdoor pool and hot tub were clean and definitely our favorite part! My only complaint would be the beds. They are definitely on the very uncomfortable side and could use an update. Other than that everything was fantastic!

The location was very convenient to the water park as well as Santa’s Village and easy to get to from the highway. The staff was also extremely friendly. The rooms overall are OK, but dated and the beds were not very comfortable. But convenience wise, it was great. The outdoor pool was also very nice.

It's basically a glorified motel. Not worth the price at all. They had an ice cream social for the kids, which was pathetic. They served these tiny cups, only one flavor and like 3 toppings. The room was fine. It was clean, but super basic for the price. The AC barely worked. The TV was literally the same one I got about 20 years ago as my first flat screen TV.

It's an older property that definitely needs updates. We were disappointed to find out the resort is actually separate- one section of rooms is across the street from the Main resort that has the pools and hot tubs. There is a small arcade, the indoor and outdoor pools and hotubs were nice and it was fun to sit in the hot tub while it snowed on us. The Ice Castles are 9 minutes away and other places to visit are close by as well. It is a very convenient location and we were there to ski Loon. We were disappointed that there were 2 very different sized beds.in our room..one King and one Full. The sinks had cracks in them..worked fine but aged. Housekeeping didn't even show up until 3:15pm at that point we turned them away since we were just back to our room after a long day. There was no buffering of sound from the rooms above anytime someone walked or ran and you could hear neighbors to one side of us. It was reasonably priced, we had fun just not sure if we'd stay here again. The restaurant was ok for dinner food was meh we didn't bother trying the bar or going there for breakfast; lots of local choices minutes away that are better.

Stayed for just a night so we could visit the Ice Castles. Didn’t realize there were rooms across the street from the resort. Didn’t take advantage of the year round outdoor pool as it entailed walking across the street. Anyway. Nice stay, skipped the breakfast buffet but we’re weee offered the breakfast menu, which was very accommodating. Our room was no frill, dated, but clean and comfortable. (Loved the electric fireplace) definitely worth the affordable price and may be back as the array of accommodations was impressive. Cottages, houses… lots to do up here!!!

Had to wait for 15-20 minutes to check in. Seemed understaffed for time of day. Clerks mentioned that computer was running slow, which caused some of the delay. We were given a room across the street from the main facility. Room was nice, but could clearly and loudly hear probably kids jumping or running in room above us. Sound reduction between floors was poor. Sounded like wrestling match or a cattle roundup was going on.

Resort wasn’t as “fancy” as I expected. But was very down to earth and great for my two sons. We would have been out of place in a fancy spa resort. Room was clean and great. Aged, but everything was fine. Tv for example was very dated, didn’t have an hdmi input for a mobile device/streaming app on a laptop, since it didn’t have apps. Restaurant was very nice. Food very good. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Hot weekend and very crowded at the outside pool, inside pool was very chlorinated, arcade machines ate our credits and the vending machine ate our money! Didn’t like having to cross the main highway to get from our room block to the main resort. No crossing, busy road. Didn’t like that smokers only went to an area 20 feet from the main pool, they should have been over the road. Fun place to stay for a couple of nights though.

We stayed for one night this past weekend (02/08-02/09) and had the most wonderful time! The staff was welcoming from the front desk to the restaurant and all the way to checkout. The outdoor pool options on a cold day was super fun. Food and drinks were great. Atmosphere for dinner was awesome with a solo guitarist playing. The view from our room (across the street) was absolutely stunning. Will be back!

They’re understaffed for the evening rush at the restaurant even with only six tables. There’s only one server and manager gets in a bad mood if he has to help. The total opposite friendly attitude with the breakfast team. We love the property was like stepping back in time it would be recommended to change the music of the restaurant, 80s & 90’s mainstream boring rock album was repeating on replay = bad choice. There’s a better concept needed for this retro feeling establishment like music from the 40s or 50s but a variety of songs not just one album, restaurant manager does not seem to care. The rooms are nice and clean, the view is incredible.

Front desk staff weren’t very friendly. Also wearing a bracelet for the pool is weird.

Had to wait for 15-20 minutes to check in. Seemed understaffed for time of day. Clerks mentioned that computer was running slow, which caused some of the delay. We were given a room across the street from the main facility. Room was nice, but could clearly and loudly hear probably kids jumping or running in room above us. Sound reduction between floors was poor. Sounded like wrestling match or a cattle roundup was going on.

We had a great stay at Indian Head! We went up late in the ski season and it was perfect. Only a very short drive to Loon. Clean comfortable and quiet. The staff was super nice. The gift store was a great surprise. There was even a little simple breakfast that I wasn't expecting. Also the view is gorgeous! Bonus for the official state historical marker on the edge of the parking lot that commemorates the first publicized Alien Abduction (lots of cool alien stuff in the gift shop! Check it out).

Nice location with things to do. It is a really popular resort near I-93. It is a little crowed at the amenities. Room is big and comfy. Sound proof is so-so. Overall, it is great resort to have a good time.

Dining is inconsistent: many enjoyed the restaurant and breakfast buffet, but others found food mediocre or overpriced, hours limited, and service slow due to short staffing.

They’re understaffed for the evening rush at the restaurant even with only six tables. There’s only one server and manager gets in a bad mood if he has to help. The total opposite friendly attitude with the breakfast team. We love the property was like stepping back in time it would be recommended to change the music of the restaurant, 80s & 90’s mainstream boring rock album was repeating on replay = bad choice. There’s a better concept needed for this retro feeling establishment like music from the 40s or 50s but a variety of songs not just one album, restaurant manager does not seem to care. The rooms are nice and clean, the view is incredible.

The food was mediocre especially the breakfast. The staff at the restaurant was really nice though- unlike the front desk. The room is one that resembles a motel- super basic.

Resort wasn’t as “fancy” as I expected. But was very down to earth and great for my two sons. We would have been out of place in a fancy spa resort. Room was clean and great. Aged, but everything was fine. Tv for example was very dated, didn’t have an hdmi input for a mobile device/streaming app on a laptop, since it didn’t have apps. Restaurant was very nice. Food very good. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Hot weekend and very crowded at the outside pool, inside pool was very chlorinated, arcade machines ate our credits and the vending machine ate our money! Didn’t like having to cross the main highway to get from our room block to the main resort. No crossing, busy road. Didn’t like that smokers only went to an area 20 feet from the main pool, they should have been over the road. Fun place to stay for a couple of nights though.

This is an old school NH hotel. It’s not fancy but it’s clean and nostalgic. There is an active beaver pond on the premises and it is close to nearby attractions and hiking. Make sure to check whether your reservation is for the main building or across the street at the annex. The pool area looks updated and very nice (although we did not use it ). Dinner at the Thunderbird lounge was delicious with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pond and mountains. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet which was fresh, plentiful and reasonably priced. The observation tower is also worth the trek up the stairs for a $1 token sold near the gift shop. Staff was pleasant and helpful. We would stay here again.

This was a nice room, but the employee who checked us in was not friendly at all. The “Mountain View” had tennis courts and a highway in the foreground. The part that was really frustrating is that they have not upgraded to smart TVs, so you’re stuck with whatever is on TV. My husband and I had to watch a movie on his laptop (even though the TV was huge and would’ve been nice). Just disappointing for the price.
