Wolfeboro Inn

The brunch is UNBELIEVABLY GREAT. can’t believe they have only three stars. Have not had other meals here but how could the huge brunch be so great and not the rest of the meals? I just live this historic, cozy place. Better go HUNGRY

This country upscale hotel is only upscale in the lobby. Each time we took a shower there was 2 inches of standing water in the tub… the room smelled mildewy and at 5:15 in the morning delivery trucks were barreling down the road below our window… making it sound like they were actually in our room. The stairwell leading toward third-​floor room was not vacuumed any day that we stayed there. I would not stay here again. If you do choose to stay here, do not stay on the odd numbered side of the hotel unless you want to be woken by delivery trucks.

This was a cute Inn in a quaint little town with a ton of shops and restaurants within walking distance.
The place was a little older but the place was just like a big mansion home. Our room was small and snug but had big beds and a comfy couch in it. Our friend stayed in a suite which was huge on the other hand.
The property backs to a private beach on Lake Winnepesaukee which is a beautiful place to hang out. We came here for a wedding. It was the perfect venue. Appparently they host a lot of weddings and that affects the price of rooms.
There is a restaurant downstairs with great food and two bars.

Overall my stay at the Wolfeboro Inn was just okay.
Some things that bothered me were:
1. The outside of the Inn was dirty. Lots of bug debris, I guess. Our balcony was constantly dripped on by the unit above. At night we discovered that all the mess on the side of the building was from spiders. The number of spiders crawling the walls and on our deck was like something out of a horror movie.
2. The towels that are supposed to be available in the shed by the beach were almost never restocked. We asked repeatedly for towels and they «promised» to bring some, but it just didn’t get done. In the 5 days we were there I’d say 90% of the time there were no towels. Not such a great thing for a «beach resort»
3. There were also not enough seats at the beach for the number of people there, so a number of people didn’t get to sit, and just left.
4. The people staffing the front desk were okay, but not really all that helpful, and even borderline rude.
5. An additional services fee was added to our account at the end for what we felt like we were paying for in the cost of the room.
The room was clean, the beach was nice, and the Inn is conveniently located, but I feel like they are resting on their laurels at this point and charging a price that would imply better service.
We didn’t even bother having a meal at the Wolfe Tavern because it looked very dated, and we noticed, as we were passing through, that old food and dishes remained on tables for hours after diners had left.
My advice would be to look around for other options first. I hope the owners of the Inn wake up and realize that people expect more for the price they are charging.

Fake upscale hotel.
Booked two nights but canceled the 2^nd night the next morning due to a cold room and a bathroom in need of an update or at least a good scrubbing.
The food was awful.

My sister and I stayed at Wolfeboro Inn last weekend. We were very disappointed with the room and the service in the restaurant. We had to ask for clean glasses in our room and trash was not emptied. The service was terrible in the restaurant on Friday night. The manager was not around.

Very classy place to stay in Wolfeboro and certainly very, very clean. All of the staff are VERY accommodating! It is right on the water and there is even a little beach to check out. It is conveniently located right in town and easy to walk to everything.
While the price might be a little on the higher side (compared to other local hotels), it is well worth it for the reassurance of a clean, nice, comfortable stay. It is not as «modern» as say a city starwood hotel, but being at the lake in New Hampshire, it shouldn’t be needed. The hotel keeps the cozy lake theme classy.

Don’t get me wrong: this is a very nice inn. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff, great location… I just don’t understand why it’s SO expensive!
We needed a place to stay for the night while visiting the area for a wedding. With most of the other options tapped due to some in-​town hoopla, we were out of options (and most of them were actually booking a two-​night minimum!). With few other options, Wolfeboro Inn was it.
The hotel itself is nice. Like I said, the rooms are comfortable and clean. They even do a turn-​down service and deliver chocolate fudge as a good-​night gift and put fluffy robes out fore you to snuggle up in. Our room was modest — a comfortable queen sized bed with nice pillows and sheets, and a modest bathroom with the standard Gilchrest & Soams toiletries on display. Nothing was overly luxurious or indulgent, other than the nearly $ 400 price tag… And for that kind of money, I want a view (not of a parking lot), a kind sized bed, a remarkably splendid bathroom and perhaps even a fireplace or (at the very least) a mini bar. However, we were just left without comfortable, modest room and a quiet night of uninterrupted slumbers.
My husband would tell you the rooms are stuffy, but that’s because I’d been freezing all day and refused to let him turn on the AC. Without AC, and just the windows open, the rooms do get a little hot.
In the morning you’ll find coffee and tea to serve to yourself in the lobby. There’s apparently a decent restaurant, too but we did not partake.
So, aside from the crazy price, I would call this place A-​OK, all the way.

Was very happy with our stay at the Wolfeboro Inn. The room was nice, the bed was comfortable and the staff, especially Ann, was excellent. We enjoyed the fire pit one night along with some cheese and crackers and wine. You do have beach access, but the beach is small and there is a large ferry boat parked there later in the day which takes up a good portion of the swimming area. Great stay though all in all.

Overpriced for what you get. There were only 3 working outlets in the room, and most were occupied with the room’s lighting and the TV. They said that refreshments were in the lobby– that consisted of ice water.
I am disappointed in my experience at the Wolfeboro Inn.
On the other hand, Wolfe’s Tavern is a great place for food and drinks!

We stayed here for a night after our wedding. Making reservations was easy, both online and in person. (We booked our reservations online but my parents’ reservations in person.)
The hotel had all the amenities you would expect and was clean. The hotel is an easy walking distance to downtown. The grounds were impeccably kept and beautiful. We enjoyed sitting by the docks on the property and sitting in the gazebo.
The only reason this place gets three stars is the price. They are a little proud of their rooms. We paid over $ 250 for one night.

This review is for the Inn only. Please see separate Wolfe’s Tavern review.
Location: 5 stars. Lovely views of the lake, easy walking distance to downtown (five minutes at most), right on Main Street yet quiet, convenient to both the North Country and high end skiing (one hour to Conway), and in the heart of the lakes area for summer and fall activities.
Accommodations: 4.5 stars. A pleasant overall mix of modern and antique charm with a wide variety of rooms and suites to choose from. Most rooms are recently remodeled. The least expensive are a little small, but pleasantly appointed, quiet, with adequate bathroom area but with noticeable lack of shelf or storage space, comfortable beds (the ones we tried), hotter than h*** in the winter but at least the heat is on and manageable. Prices are moderate to above average for inns.
Customer service: 2 stars. I should explain that my wife and I are friendly people — just customers overnighting at a hotel. We are not dentists. But if you are staying here it will help if you have your DDS. One should NEVER have to pull teeth with a front desk person about ANYTHING at a hotel, whether it’s a pillow request, a wake up call, directions to a local eatery, the source of your reservation, etc. Our experience, spread among the several families in our large party, with front desk staff in both the evenings and mornings was unpleasant. They are impolite, surly, abrupt, unhelpful, argumentative, and stand-​offish. Pray that you do not need to engage these people for any chore, request, or resolution of a problem, as your stay will quickly turn sulfurous. They are a churlish lot in need of re-​training.
Our overall rating: 3 stars. Once the front desk staff are fired and replaced by new, well trained help we’ll happily stick another star on to this charming place.

My first impression of the hotel was a brief call before my arrival, after I booked my room, the person who answers seemed annoyed about asking for a refrigerator in my room. My reservation was on a Tuesday and Wednesday in the middle of January (there wasn’t that many hotel guests). When my husband and I checked in at the hotel the front desk person corrected me on where I made my hotel reservation (I assure you I know who I have my credit card information to online, she was wrong).
The hotel room was nice, nothing above average. The room I stayed in had a bathroom, which needed updating. The shower curtain was kinda cheesy, faucet and shower head wasn’t updated. Obviously extremely minor details. The bedding and mattress were delightful. We also had a turn down service which was such a pleasant surprise. The shampoo and conditioner are very nice. Over all was a great size. Biggest room complaint was that it was extremely hot, we needed to open the windows and turn on the ac (it was 29 degrees outside and the window was open all night).
In the morning they had coffee and tea available. It had snowed the nights that we stayed and they cleared the snow off our car for us.
Great location in town and we will definitely be returning again. Overall a good experience, I’m glad I kept an open mind after my initial interaction with the front desk staff.

The staff at the Wolfeboro Inn strives to make your experience the best that it can be every time. It is a gem in the Lakes Region!

Stayed here during rainy bike week and it was wonderful to return to a warm, cozy inn. Staff was kind and accommodating, room was clean, great location… walk to everything. Had a few meals in the pub, good food.
We had to leave early on a rainy Monday morning, the bed was so comfortable, I didn’t want to get up! Great place and would recommend.

This was a very nice and clean place. The hotel restaurant was very good and the location was exceptional.
The room was a little small but it was nice and I certainly wasn’t planning on spending a lot of time there.
The pitfalls that I found here were first (and this is kinda minor since so many places do it) that there was a required two night minimum. We were up there for a wedding so it would have been nice at over 200 dollars a night to have a single night option. Not the end of the world, just a slight annoyance.
The second was a little bit more perturbing. The service, while exceptionally friendly, was very slow throughout the whole weekend. We arrived at a little before 8 on Friday and had to wait 10 minutes to check in becasue there was no one working at the front desk (probably out helping someone else but they should always have someone covering the front desk). Then we went for dinner and drinks and had to wait quite a while for service (and we were sitting at the bar!). The food was very good (little pricy at 10 dollars for a buger and 12 for a salad) and the drinks were well done but the slow service kind of put me off.
It very well could have just been a very crowded weekend they weren’t ready for (I have only been here once) but if you go, just be prepared that things may be a bit slower then you would expect.

I love Lake Winnipesaukee. When I visit, I usually rent a house with friends. But I was only in town for a few days this time, so I thought I’d give the Wolfeboro Inn a try.
The location is great. Walking distance from town. Walking distance to the Inn’s private beach.
According to the reservationist, and the premium on my bill, my room had a «water view.» If I looked out just the right window at just the right time of day, with my head at just the right angle, I could catch a glimpse of the water.
The room was unclean. Yeah, it was vacuumed, and the sheets seemed fine, but it’s apparent that nobody pays attention to anything but the routine work. There was hair all over the back of the sink — not visible from the front of the sink, but from other locations in the bathroom it was easy to see. Gross. The walls in the bathroom were dripping with yellowish goo. Nasty. I couldn’t help but wonder what I’d see in the carpet, furniture, and bedspreads if I used a blacklight. This should not occur to me.
The front desk service was very very friendly. The person who took my reservation was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with, as were the folks who checked me in and out.
I would give this place two more stars if the room was clean. I find it very unusual that rooms are this dirty. I just can’t get past it. And I’m a guy.

Great brunch on weekends. Nice buffet with everything you need. Biggest/​best bloody mary of the summer. They did a great job with the recent remodeling too. Great spot to try.

This is my review for the hotel. See Wolfe’s Tavern for the restaurant review.
So the beds were comfy enough, it was a pretty basic hotel room. The housekeeping was SO accommodating when we wanted to check out an hour late. Then two hours late. Then two and a half hours late. Ughhh I hate being hungover.
They do have a few haunted rooms, which is pretty cool. And some room on the second floor on the south side of the hotel has a hidden second room behind the main room — great for families to stay in, because the kids will get a kick out of the historic room. The whole place is pretty old and neat.

I have never felt so comfortable anywhere else in my life.
Not even compared to my own home.
I just love everything about this place!
Located right by the great lake Winnipesaukee.
I remember laying on their little private «beach» in the summer until the beautiful sun goes down.
I love their cozy décor based on green and floral.
Their cute little window that attracts the soft sunlight…
Oh! and that comfortable bed… they hug you and never let you go.
The staffs are so friendly. I could always rely on them and leave my family there by themselves even though they don’t speak a work of English.
In the winter, their restaurant is THE place to go to.
It’s always packed with locals and I don’t doubt them.
Wolfe’s tavern is dim, and it looks great with big moose head hanging from the wall. Servers running around with lots of beer glasses in their hand.
Anything you order from the menu will turn out great!
This is definitely one of my favorite restaurant in the world.
I am hoping to go back here for my wedding :)
