The unit was clean and orderly. They even wash the blankets when changing the sheets on the bed. There was plenty of parking next to units. I liked the carts with hangar racks that could be used to bring personal items to the rooms. There was an anti-slip mat in the shower/tub to reduce the chance of slipping. I would like to see more units with hand bars to hold while entering and exiting the shower/tub.

This is an outstanding hotel! The beds were very comfortable, the room was spacious and clean. We were on the ground floor, and there was a small patio area with chairs outside each room (the upper levels had a balcony). The pool and hot tub were great (we used the indoor pool, but the outdoor pool looked wonderful as well). The breakfast was fulsome and the staff constantly refilled items. It was listed as a "grab and go" so we took our food on trays back to our room.

We stayed here during the Laconia Bike Week, and though the hotel was completely booked (with a lot of bikers, such as ourselves), it was quiet and I never felt crowded. The location is beautiful, I would definitely stay here again.

This is a pretty nice property. The rooms are large and comfortable and the grab-and-go breakfast is a good alternative to the local fast-food joints. My only complaint is that the Wifi kept going out every time I turned on my VPN. That said, I would still stay here again.

Booked on their website, read positive online reviews and thought it seemed like a good deal. Arrived and they had changed my room and instantly charged almost $200 extra on credit card. Still hasn’t gone through. We were given a different room as we requested a king size bed, it was a suite and honestly when you are just going for a few nights a full kitchen isn’t needed. We wanted a place with whirlpool, the website said they had two, they had one it was broken. The indoor pool was filthy. There was giant hair balls on the deck I almost threw up after swimming for awhile. When leaving the pool the same desk person was dealing with another person who’s room was changed. Breakfast was a huge joke, bad breakfasts make this one look good. They didn’t have what they said they would and the breakfast sandwiches weee to be brought back to your room to microwave. Felt like a lot of scams going on here and hopefully I will get my refund at some point. Have check out in the morning and expect more BS.

The room was fine. We stayed in a suite. Everything is really dated, but it was clean and serviceable. I am giving one star for two reasons:

1. When we checked in at the front desk, we were told there is an unadvertised additional $15 service/resort fee that we were charged on top of the rate that we'd already paid. This appears nowhere on the website. A bait and switch like this is against the law (or should be).
2. The hotel requires that guests strip their own linens (sheets/pillowcases/blankets) and towels, and take out their garbage at the conclusion of the stay. We were told about this directly after the extra fee, which I had to at least smile at. I've never had to do this at any AirBNB I've stayed at, much less a reputable hotel. Yes, it's extra labor for the hotel to do that themselves, but pushing this onto guests is a horrible experience.

Why am I paying $600 + tax for two nights in a hotel when I'm getting nickel-and-dimed while being treated like an employee?

Pros: location across from restaurants and near the lake, helpful staff, indoor pool and hot tub plus small outdoor pool.
Cons: the rooms haven’t been updated in a long time. Mattress too soft and pillows lumpy. No housekeeping while we were there - kept having go to front desk for coffee pods, toilet paper, etc.

Could be so much better with a refurb to the rooms. The staff (helpful, friendly, responsive) and cleanliness were exceptional. The location was great too, especially if you’re attending an event at the Pavilion. Walking distance. Room was outdated. Old carpet. The bed & pillows uncomfortable. No privacy if your room faces the front as people can see in the room with the curtain open. No fan and a drop ceiling in the bathroom. With improvements it would be great.

We 'walked in' without reservations during Laconia Motorcycle Rally Week, looking to stay either one, two or three nights. Staff worked OT with us juggling options and rates with what they had available during this peek week. We stayed two nights. The room was SUPER clean and friendly staff, from the front desk, housekeeping, breakfast area, and owner / manager Frank and Facilities manager, Ray !
Great location . . . Highly recommend this Fireside Inn !

Always a great place...super cute and very friendly. 6 min from gunstock plus heated pool and hot tub to reward yourself after a long day skiing. We stayed in the suites which is nice to have a full kitchen with young kids. The breakfast is included and served daily. We go annually for the money and location to Boston a perfect option to teach young kids to ski and have fun.

The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel had an indoor pool and spa. A continental breakfast was provided with individually wrapped pastries and pancakes, along with yoghurt, cereal and oatmeal. The hotel was within walking distance to the lake and there was at least one restaurant across the street. The downsides are the fact that the hotel seems dated. The hall carpets were a bit worn. Also, the hotel was in a large parking lot area off the main road - so not any great views.

Good Day, Our pet rooms are on first floor with a back door opening to our ten acres leading down to the water. We ask that the pet not be left alone in the room and on a leash when out of the room. There is a $20 per night pet fee plus tax. We also as that your pet not smoke in the rooms.(it's bad for their little lungs).
