Looking for advice where to stay in Wilmington

Planning to head up for a long weekend with my wife for some hiking/biking either July 11th or 18th for 3 nights.
Since the price is double at my usual spot that I go to in the winter in Lake Placid, I'm looking for some suggestions on a nice clean place to get a room in Wilmington...I've never looked into hotels there before, as I usually stay right in town (LP).

I've only camped in the area in summer(which I'm still considering as a cost effective option), but I will only be up for 3 days and don't know if I want to deal with the whole set-up and tear down of a campsite, I'd rather spend the time doing other stuff.

Thanks
Mike

My friends rent out a place in Keene. Closer to the high peaks

I have stayed at the Brookside in Jay...Kinda rough , but it's cheap and ok...

Right here Mike. http://www.cadencelodge.com/ You won't be sorry.

North Pole campground also has nice reasonably priced motel rooms

Def stay at http://www.cadencelodge.com/   Place is under new ownership and they are catering to outdoor recreationalist!  Very cool and reasonable.

Thanks I'll check these out - anything special going on the weekend of July 17th?  I think i'll be up then

I'd sack up and camp. Then I'd use the money I saved to buy telemark bindings.

check out number 6!

Depends on what you're looking for.  We've been regulars at the Brookside for several years, it is our go-to place.  One great thing, the rooms have kitchenettes, you can cook meals instead of frittering away all your time and $$ in restaurants.  Marlene the landlady is awesome, and she did a lot for the community during Hurricane Irene.
