CONWAY — There’s been a transformation at the former Clarendon Motel in North Conway, including a new owner, new look and new name: Starlight Lodge North Conway.
“A formal English garden out back, beautiful views toward Cranmore, our own cross-country ski and running trails that are part of Whitaker Woods, and newly appointed guest rooms make for refreshed and comfortable amenities,” said new owner Debbie Orloff, who bought the building in February.
