A good budget option when visiting Story Land theme park-or exploring the White Mountains around Mount Washington-Storybook Inn is a cut above the usual roadside motel. It offers a range of room sizes, including two double beds and two queens; connecting rooms are available for larger families. For those looking for a bit more quiet, more secluded units in a woody area back from the road also have outdoor patios for lounging.

Rooms are comfortably decorated with wall-to-wall carpet, microwave, and mini-fridge; however, they can also be somewhat musty and in need of some renovation. On the plus side, the motel has a ton of amenities to keep the kids busy, including three pools-one large outdoor pool, a smaller kiddie pool, and a heated indoor pool-and indoor hot tub. In addition, the property has a game room, tennis court, and playground. Story Land is so close you could literally walk there in 15 minutes, or drive there in three. In addition, there is a Dairy Queen across the street and several other family-friendly restaurants within walking distance.
