The Landmark Inn, Laconia

Stayed there recently for a softball tournament.. Staff was great. They met all of our requests.

The Lakes Region thrives on tourism. Beautiful lakes, Weirs Beach, et al. Nearing the Labor Day weekend, finding hotels or resorts less than $100.00 a night gets mighty rare. With a Monday-Thursday rate of $59.99 a night (Fri-Sat-Sun jumps to $99.99 a night-take warning); the Landmark Inn was an exceptional value. Kudos for visitor friendly staff, 24 hour lobby, diligent housekeepers. Location is easy walking to a club called the Funky Monkey, some shops and restaurants. Walgreens is next door for any various sundry items or meds you might need. Rooms were large. Bedding and beds were comfortable and clean, as were the stuffed chairs in the room. Hotel is well insulated-didn't hear the morning traffic at all. Free breakfast is served rigidly from 6am-10am. (grin). It was adequate, if you are looking to bulk up on your carbs that day. Bagels, english muffins, pastries, cereals, etc. For the price, how can one complain? So, that's why it's a plus, in the kudos section. Also free WiFi. Cool. The centralized location will get you to all major roadways quickly and basically traffic hassle free. Now gentle reader, here's the rest of the story. If you or your party are looking to be pampered with luxurious amenities, such as a concierge service, in room spas, in-hotel restaurant, room service, bars, etc. This is NOT the hotel for you. My room didn't have a microwave or refrigerator. It's an old building, which in its heyday in the 1970's was a Ramada Hotel. Quite swank for the era. The old gal has seen better days on the interior. Is the sight of a little peeling wallpaper sends you into fits...this is not the place for you. It is what it is. It is a low amenity hotel and The Landmark Inn doesn't pretend or falsely advertise as being anything more than that. I personally appreciate and respect that in an establishment. Kudos to the management & staff, as in my book, honesty counts. Overall, for basic lodging at an outstanding price for the area, THE LANDMARK INN is great! Four out of five stars. The benefits far outweighed the cons, hands down. The Lakes Region/Laconia, as stated before is a very tourist economy; and booking a hotel or cabin near the lakes will cost you a kings ransom. The Landmark Inn is a much more sensible alternative for travelers, looking to enjoy the natural beauty of the area without going into Chapter 13 to do so. Again, four of of five stars. Keep up the good work, folks! Peace and happy travels to you.

Rooms are dusty... hallway carpets dirty... the breakfast bar is gross... awful customer service...staff hanging out in lobby discussing issues loudly... very dusty place with musty smell... rooms outdated... garbage containers in vending areas overflowing with trash... very unreasonable staff...TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!

This is a nice place to stay if your on a budget and looking for more of a small-town atmosphere and the charm of New England. I stayed there an entire week to see the area and it was a comfortable place to end the day. The staff were all friendly and the continental breakfast is always a nice thing to wake up to. Its located right next to downtown Laconia so there are also several places to eat and visit within walking distance. Famlies or groups may want a place with a pool or tavern, which the Landmark does not have, but that was okay with me because it was typically quiet and easy to get a night of rest. The parking lot was the only downside, it was being redone and while weekday parking was alright, the weekend was chaotic trying to find a place to park. The weekday rate was pretty reasonable but the weekends were quite high. So weekdays are certainly the best time to go.. weekends are busier and more expensive but that's true almost anywhere I guess. If you want a suite or lots of extras then there are plenty of choices with higher rates in the area. But casual travelers, economically minded, or couples should enjoy it just fine. This little hotel was just fine for me and I'd gladly stay there again.

For the money I spent on a 2 night stay, I was not expecting much. However, the rooms were large and clean. The beds very comfortable. The staff friendly and very helpful. My family and I came to N.H. for a wedding. The hotel was a block away from the church. Great area to wonder around the shops. 2 hours before the wedding my 2 teenage daughters and I needed to shower and get ready. We were out of shompoo. Called the front desk and they sent up a full size bottle of name brand shampoo and made sure we had every thing we needed. Great srevice. The people at the front desk helped us with the directions we needed. The breakfast was just enough to start our day. My experience was awsome and will recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you, Becki

The young girl at the desk was help full and polite. The rooms are good for the money and could be alittle better on the cleaning and could use a update. the breakfast was nice and well plenished for a continental breakfast. The guy in the morning was alittle rude and didnt seem to like being there. Overall it has a great location and is good for the money.
