Lovely place! Perfect location, excellent views, lovely service, comfy bed and coach. The rooms could use a little bit of updating as the desk and chair felt a bit wobbly and the available outlets were a bit hard to get to but still a fantastic getaway location. Definitely going to come back for a future weekend escape

Loved our short stay at Half Moon. The location, in Laconia can't be beat, the staff were exceptionally accommodating, the room was very clean, good linens (walls a little thin, but our neighbors were quiet), and a nice pool.Nearby activities: Weirs Beach (with watercraft rentals), World's largest Arcade, Bank of NH Pavilion, White Mountains.Walkability: Walking distance to: beach, shops, restaurants, scenic train, Mt. Washington boat cruise.

This spot is great, perfect view of the Lake, so many places within walking distance to eat and drink. The mount Washington ship leaves every day from across the street! The Half Moon staff was friendly and so helpful. The pool looked amazing, but I didn't go in because it was rainy on & off during my stay. The room was very clean and my bed was comfortable. Room could use some updating, but other than that, my stay was really perfect considering the weather. I plan on going back next summer. Highly recommended.

The hotel is definitely old and can use some updating. It has the old dirty feel but it was sanitary, had a great location, and the service was awesome! We enjoyed our stay. We had a room with a queen bed and queen pull out sofa which worked well for our family of four. We loved that we could walk to everything in the area.

Well the water pressure in Cottage #20 needs some serious work. While showering lost 90% of the water. Not cool when trying to rinse off soap. Very hard to adjust the water temp in shower. Should have mini fridge up on a pedestal for ease of getting stuff. Was surprised at all the kitchen utensils that were in unit. Had to spray door hinges due to squeak. Location was great, could use some serious landscaping as far as the overgrown bushes and vines growing in that area. Going down to the Blvd was great, but the return trip needed some more effort.Rooms: Cottages are dated, 1940s, but very clean. Bathroom could stand to get updated.Walkability: Great area to walk around and see the sites up close. No crowds so it was nice.

we have been coming to Half moon every summer for the past 5 years and this is my all time time favorite place. It just feels like home away from home. The rooms and cottages are clean and adorable. The staff is beyond amazing and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back next summer !

We stayed here for 2 nights. Our first night getting there it was raining (pouring actually) I was told by the first desk at check-in that since my sister had already arrived and taken the parking spot near our cottage I would have to park by the pool, I asked if I could pull up to where our cottage was, unload then move our car. She said yes and she would call security to let him know we were coming. He was outside and once we pulled up and told us you have 5 minutes to get your stuff in your cottage then you need to move. 5 minutes? It was absolutely pouring and where he had us park was in another tenant spot that he told us was gone for the evening so I do think he could have let us wait out the rain since it was going to be stopping within 30 minutes then we could unpack but no we 5 minutes and we got soaked while he stood in the rain watching us. The room was cute and clean but they have issues with small ants. They got all over the box of muffins we had and they were crawling on the walls as well. Then the second night as we are walking back to our cottage security stops us to ask if we had a nice evening, we are 4 women just talking and laughing we tell him yes we just came from the fireworks he then proceeds to say well remember quiet time is at 10 pm. Yes, we knew that hence why we were going back to our room, the dude had zero personality and was just looking to be a drill, Sargent he would just watch everything everyone did. To top off our stay when checking out (you must be out by 10 am.) We packed up my sister's car, then she was going to move out of the parked spot I would pull my car in and pack up my car. Where you park is a very narrow lane only one car at a time can get up or down it. My sister was trying to get out but security has their white pickup truck blocking the road the driver was talking to someone. I pulled up behind him because I am going to the spot my sister had. You would think when I pulled up behind him he would have moved, no he proceeds to keep talking then gets out of his truck to finish his cigarette and continues talking. There was a couple sitting on the porch of one of the cottages and she said I can not believe what I am seeing right now, this guy is so rude. He kept looking back at me and just kept on talking could have cared less that my sister was pulled off to the side to let him go by so she could get out and that I was behind him. These are the employees of the place. Rude and could care-less for the customers that come and pay to say at their establishment. You could not pay me enough to stay here again.
Walkability: close to the strip

This place is the best in New England for anyone looking for an affordable vacation, especially with the kids. The view is my number one reason! I don't think there's a better view of winnipesaukee from any angle or from any other location. Seriously, this place has the best view! The second reason is that from the moment apoun arrival, you feel at home, either in a squeaky clean cabin or a convenient hotel room. My third reason and probably the most important, it's the staff. You can tell that each and every person employed by half moon is happy to work there as they all possess an ownership mentality and treat customers with the utmost respect. The maintenence manager steve goes above and beyond to keep this place in top shape. The giant pool is always crystal clear and refreshing as can be, The rooms are spotless, the flowers are watered every day, the grass is mowed and well kept. There's full-time security. They take their job very seriously, but also ask if you need anything when running to the store like a neighbor would. I could go on and on about it really. I guess I found my perfect vacation spot. The only negative thing about this post is that more people will have a chance to rent my favorite cabin on my desired dates.Safety: Full time securityWalkability: 2 minute walk to peir, 5 minute walk to weirs beach, 1 minute walk to nearest restaurant

Walking distance of everything!! Walked to arcade safely with 4 kids. King size pool, friendly staff, amazing view, clean rooms, smelt great, & balcony with amazing views. It's overlooking Wiers Beach, Train station, and boardwalk attractions. Couldn't have asked for a better spot. Great place, and will continue to return, as I have each summer.

The best part of this location is their charming check in staff.Don’t be fooled by the images on the website, they were obviously taken years ago.Though we were hoping to enjoy some time with nature, the virtual insectropolis climbing all over the walls and beds was a bit much for us.The pool is a sea of cracked concrete with weeds growing everywhere. The surrounding fence is well, a tetanus nightmare waiting to happen. Cottages are surrounded by broken lattice and trees growing up from beneath and through it.Though they claim to welcome you to bring your own portable grill, don’t. There is no designated grilling area, the ground is not even close to level and you will be subjected to constant harassment by the on-site “security”.It was hard to overlook the 24-7 waft of ciggarette smoke in the air and nearly impossible to sleep with motorcycle traffic up and down Tower street. The walkable activities leave much to be desired, though a short drive will get you to some really great places to eat and have fun.This is not the place for families, and if you have to stay here, 3 days is more than enough.
