Restaurants we chose were great (Canoe, Rubbin-Butts and the Mug). Walkable and there were several we did not get to visit. Property does not have an elevator and the rooms were lacking an iron and hair dryer. Beach was clean and empty since we stayed after labor day. Request the 3rd floor if you have mobility issues. When I reserved early check-in I asked if I could fish on the beach/docks and was told that I could. When we got there I was told I could not. Plenty of places to fish in the area providing you get there early morning or after 6pm. We are renting a lakefront house next year instead of booking at the Center Harbor Inn again.

Just one night but a great stay.
Room was very clean and comfortable, with a nice view of the lake. The little beach was very clean and safe for kids. The hotel feels new and well kept. Nice breakfast offered in the morning. The reason it's not a 5 star review is that we learned no one would be on site after 10 pm. It's a very safe area but I'd still like to know that someone was onsite overnight.

Great location
Great location- right on the water. This is a great way to get some time on Lake Winnipesaukee. You can walk to breakfast across the street or a coffee shop. The hotel beach is right out the front door and the lovely little town beach is 50 yards out the front door. There are Kayaks and a hot tub. Everything is quite convenient….

This hotel is the nicest thing in Center Harbor. The grounds are well kept and the breakfast was nice. Having assorted water craft (kayaks, paddle boards, peddle boats) available was a nice treat, and we enjoyed playing cornhole on the lawn. An unexpected benefit of the location on July 4th were the fireworks directly off the dock! We checked in that day and were surprised by a band in the adjacent town gazebo and many local residents setting up chairs and blankets across the street from the Inn. As dusk approached many local residents began setting up their chairs on the hotel property too :/ . We thought they were all trying to catch a view of fireworks from Weir's Beach around the cove, but fifteen minutes before that show was supposed to start a much closer barge in Center Harbor began its show. That was great! The badly behaved local kids screaming that the fireworks were too loud, I could have lived without, but the Inn could not control that.

Very nice but a bit noisy
Nice hotel on Lake Winnipesaukee with its own beach, hot tub and fire pit. Extremely clean and well kept, good breakfast with many choices. Comfortable bed, every room has a balcony with views of the lake. Our only complaint is the noise--from traffic on the adjacent very busy road and from with the hotel, where sound proofing is unfortunately not adequate.
