The staff were super friendly and helpful with our late arrival and were quick to replace the coffee pot when we couldn’t get it to work. The small cottage was perfect for the two of us. The place gave you a small town vibe that was relaxing and refreshing. Highly recommend.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights. The location is primo, and the room was clean and well-appointed. My only issue was with the check-in. I was traveling alone, and when I went to the office, a man stood behind me in the lobby. When the staff were giving me my keys and explaining where my room was, they said my room number out loud and showed me a map to my room right in front of the man. Nothing happened, but the gentleman behind me could have followed me to my room. Proper security involves writing down the room number and handing it to the guest. I felt very unsettled by this, and I hope the otherwise very nice hotel changes its policy so that there are no security incidents.

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.

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.

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!

Half moon is truly a hidden gem! Set back enough to enjoy the views of the lake but also close enough to all the action downtown. Great walking distance from endless food options, Entertainment, live bands, bars, restaurants, beach, arcade games, shopping. All the things you'd want on a perfect vacation. All the best things of weir's Beach wrapped up in a perfect resort. The staff is amazing, caring and they will go out of the way to make sure you have a perfect experience. They offer a private pool and on spot parking literally out side your door so there's not a single inconvenience. Most cabins have screened in decks perfect for chill nights watching over the boardwalk and perfect for watching fireworks with our having to pack and drive to them. The fun never ends at half moon. They make you feel like you've stepped back and can actually relax on vacation. We've stayed in the same cabin twice and it never disappoints. Everything you need at home is there, while still being able to enjoy views and fun! It's a dream come true!

Fun place to stay at a reasonable price straight out of the 60s. But there have been upgrades, like the bathroom had a nice new tub with shower. Also the front porch was great to sit and look out over the lake. On the other hand it’s been years since I had to sleep in a double bed, not even a queen. Did not sleep that well. Party goers outside my door late into the night on the porch, but it’s Weirs Beach so I had to expect that. Good place for an overnight when you are going to a concert.

Place is in much need of an update in all areas. Window blinds broken, they do not cost that much given how much the cost is per night. Bathroom needs many upgrades. Hair on the floor that have not been cleaned from the previous guests. Spiders and spider web were present in the shower, which was rather unpleasant. I think that i would definitely love to come back, but choose another sleeping arrangements.

Parking was right outside the cottage and the pool is very clean, well mainainted and right in front. We were walking distance to the boardwalk, beach, stores and boat tours. There is coffee in the room but we found a great coffe shop called Fresh right on the boardwalk. The staff is attentive and pleasant. There is a small refrigerator in the room which was great to have. There is a huge ice maker on the premises as well. I would stay in the same, #3 cottage again. We had two bulbs out in the ceiling fan, light and they replaced them. We have no complaints.

The property was conveniently located to the Mount Washington dock.
The Half Moon Motel is overall outdated compared to other motels.
One thing we didn't like was the smell of bug spray when we walked in. The door to the upper porch needed to be opened to air the room out.
The check in was pleasant as well as the owner, she also allowed us to keep our car on the property while we were on the Mother's Day Brunch on the Mt. Washington boat.

Perhaps the cottages were clean and updated, but the motel where we stayed was shabby, with pealing wood on the exterior door, a bath venting option which was a louvered window you had to climb on the counter to open, and stained carpet. However, the bedding and towels were excellent. The staff was very helpful as we arrived very late, but the directions were easy to follow and we had no problem checking in. If you're looking for a place to crash for the night, the price is right - just wear your shoes on the carpet areas and you'll feel comfortable.

My and my fiance have stayed here for years. Unfortunately, the spider situation is out of control. On my last stay I spoke with the supervisor and manager about spraying the porch due to the spider infestation. I was told it would to taken care of in my current stay. This did not happen. Large spiders were now in the hotel.

Too bad. My fiance and I were planning on staying 6 nights 2x a year for 2023. The place is outdated but the staff is friendly and the lake view is beautiful. Unfortunately, our concerns were not important enough to keep our business.
