The renovations for this hotel were a great surprise! I loved the easy-to-clean flooring (no carpet) in the rooms! The room was clean which is my #1 concern. I loved that we could do a 1-night stay as our schedule didn’t allow for more. It was a convenient drive to Gunstock and the kids loved the indoor pool and hot tub. The woman who worked at the front desk was such a sweet and welcoming person! She was very accommodating and friendly!

There was renovation going on we were unaware of ahead of time. Also the game room was closed. Room was brand new and clean & comfortable. There was ice all built up on the stairs by the entrance near our room. A shovel and salt and sand mix as if they know this happens but didn’t take the time to do anything about it. I used the mix to cover the thick layer of ice. Very surprised they wouldn’t chip or make an effort to remove it. It’s almost as if they are saying here do it yourself so I did!

Beautiful property by the lake. Free parking outside, shopping center across the street, a short drive to Weirs Beach and nice indoor pool and spa for cold weather. We enjoyed our stay.

The photos are misleading. While at the property, I didn’t see the lake. We were put on the other side of the road with a view of the back of a supermarket. The beds were built of card boards that creaked every time we moved. I will not spend $253 a night for this charmless place anymore. VERY MISLEADING

We didn't get much sleep.

The good: The room was spacious and the beds comfortable. The staff was very pleasant. The bad: We were in the building across the street. It's set back from the road and the entrance isn't lit. We drove past it twice at night even with GPS on. The side of one bed didn't have a nightstand so I had to use a chair. The carpet had a large stain. A vending machine entry was mislabeled and it stole my money. The guy above me must have weighed 600 lbs and wore cement shoes. He stomped across the floor, from one end to the other, continuously, until midnight, and he started again the next morning at 5:30 or 6 AM. We thought he was going to come through the ceiling. We didn't get much sleep.

Beautiful grounds, it’s gorgeous by the lake. The rooms are very clean. There was a wedding going on the night that I stayed, but it was over by 10 PM and even while it was going on it wasn’t overly loud. Great location in Laconia only about an hour drive to the Kancamagus Highway. Would definitely stay again.

Nice spot right on Lake Winne’. Was towards end of season, so the bar was out of some items and the place was not crowded.
