Grew up in Meredith, right down the road, and stayed at the Center Harbor Inn for a night for a friend's 50th birthday. I was really impressed by the cleanliness, the simple, calm, modern aesthetic and the complimentary continental breakfast was great, lots of choices...it was more "breakfast" than "continental breakfast". The only thing we thought could be better is the mattress. We were happy it was a king bed, but it was very hard and not the most comfortable for us. But, it wasn't a deal-breaker to stay there again in the future.

It was a great property. All the staff was very nice. The breakfast was good. The grounds were well maintained and it felt very secure. The lack of elevator(s) was tough with all your luggage unless you were on the ground floor. The amenities were great too.

Weekend couples trip

Great space, beautiful view. Breakfast was self-service typical eggs-muffin-coffee. Breakfast space was clean and inviting. Enough space to not feel rushed. However, noisy upstairs neighbors with stopping feet slamming deck/ balcony door made ceiling rattle alot. Seemed odd for what appears as a newer constructed building. Dud use beach or water activities as temp was in high 50 degrees.

We loved being able to see the water view from our room. The room was nice and clean. I rarely sit in jacuzzies, but this outdoor one was perfect to relax in after two days of hiking. We also sat in the sauna and like the "small town" feel of this hotel.
