Location is at center of Weirs Beach up on a small hill. View is terrific of Lake. Everything is within walking distance so it is very convenient. You can stay at this motel for 3 days and not need to drive. The pool is well maintained with plenty of chairs. I would highly recommend this motel.

I would highly recommend Half Moon Motel and Cottages for anyone visiting Lake Winnipesaukee. My trip was for a concert at Bank NH Pavilion and the location was extremely convenient and just a short drive away. There was also plenty of parking as well as an assigned spot so did not have to worry when returning later at night. The location was also perfect and within walking distance to Weirs Beach and the pier. The room was clean and perfect for a party of 4. Pool was also a nice amenity especially after coming back from the lake. Definitely would recommend anyone visiting the area to stay here and I would stay again.

For an older, dated property, the rooms were clean, the linens were new and clean the room met our needs. We had one of the cottages up on the hill that had the best view of the lake. I wish they didn’t allow smoking on the balconies cause it seemed like all of our neighbors smoked. The ladies in the office were really nice. We had plenty of parking for three cars. The large pool was clean and well kept. It was convenient and walking distance to plenty of bars, restaurants and shops.

This was my first time ever going to Laconia and it was a weekend away for myself and my 23 year old daughter. We were going to a concert at the Bank of NH Pavilion and wanted to be close to the venue and make it a nice weekend away. This establishment is adorable and the staff is over the top friendly and very helpful. The room was extremely clean with very comfortable beds. I will absolutely be going again!! Lots to do in the area and so many things are in walking distance! Beautiful views of the lake!
