A disappointing stay, slightly salvaged by a wonderful member of staff.
Pros:

Lovely location on a private beach.

Cons:

We were promised a lake view when booking but on arrival were given a car park level motel view at the same price. Also the room was disgustingly dirty and the pillows all had to be changed. The lady on reception was fantastic in helping resolve the issues as best she could but sadly the damage was already done and the stay mostly ruined.

Very nicely maintained Inn right on the water
Pros:

What a fantastic 5 day get away. The location is excellent, right on the water. The breakfast is very good with plenty of food choices and bagels from a local bakery. The staff is very helpful and friendly, everything was perfect. The jacuzzi is very nice and it has a light show at night . Just know that there is no elevator.

A great place to stay!
Pros:

Loved the location, proximity to downtown Meredith and restaurants. Went over to Weirs Beach snd took the narrated tour aboard the Mount Washington cruise. Loved the ambiance of the outdoor fire pit and the small beach access at the inn. There were kayaks available for rent as well. Grounds were well maintained and overall very quiet. All guests were respectful of each other. Room was comfortable and clean. Continental breakfast was welcome and tasty! Late check out of 11 am was appreciated!

Your stay is a Spamortunity
Pros:

The hotel was nearly empty, and yet they still gave me the worst room, facing the parking lot. The breakfast was good. Then once I left, I started getting spammed by "Path Vacations", by email and by daily phone calls and multiple voicemails, and they won't stop even though I've asked them to stop. They are relentless.

Beware of this business.

Fabulous Location
Pros:

The location of Center Harbor Inn is perfect. You have the lake next to the property, mountains and trails for those physically able to make the trek or large property where one can peacefully relax and just to chill. There were many restaurants from which to choose in the area. The best part was having a complimentary breakfast every morning. The coffee was so good. The staff was unbelievably friendly and sincere when they greeted us every day. Our balcony had a partial view of the lake, but it was difficult to enjoy sitting out when the furniture was covered with pollen and bird dropping. Granted if was a very heavy pollen season while we were there, but that had nothing to do with spider webs and dirt on the porch area. Might we suggest that when they clean the rooms, they should also clean/sweep the deck and porch furniture. Overall our stay was enjoyable and we will definitely go back again.
