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.

Great room with large balcony overlooking the beach and lake. I love watching the sunrise over the lake from the room. Staff are very friendly, rooms are spotless and rooms are quiet.

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.

Great location. View of lake and mountains. Avoid first floor rooms if possible as overlooks parking lot, lake is off to the side of building. Nice balcony. Used sauna and gym.

Center Harbour Inn is a peaceful place to get away. It is located right on the lake and has an amazing view of the mountains. It is also located near several restaurants, shopping, and hiking. The outdoor hot-tub is excellent, and can be used no matter what the weather is. The staff is very friendly and housekeeping is very considerate as well. I wish the gym was a little larger and had some weights, although it is a small price to pay for the other great amenities at this property. I have stayed here twice and will definitely come back again soon.
