Great location on lake and vicinity to beautiful autumn leaf-peeping hikes and drives. It’s an older hotel but clean. Do be aware no elevators and no bellmen so you will definitely be schlepping your stuff! Fantastic views, decent breakfast offerings, fantastic Italian cafe right across the street with dine in or easy take-out all day!

I had an excellent stay at Clean Harbor Inn. The service was great the staff were welcoming, and made sure everything went smoothly during my visit. The room was comfortable, and well-maintained, and the atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Clean Harbor Inn to anyone looking for a pleasant and worry-free stay.

It was a great property. All the staff was very nice. The breakfast was good. The grounds were well maintained and it felt very secure. The lack of elevator(s) was tough with all your luggage unless you were on the ground floor. The amenities were great too.

We chose the center harbor in for its location right on the lake and amenities mentioned. Fitness center, free breakfast. Our biggest disappointment was the Canadian Geese that pooped all over the property but especially the beach! It was disgusting. I did see a crew of people on the property raking the beach and grass areas. The beach chairs are functional but not that many. The water was spectacular but wear water shoes or follow the sand in the water. Otherwise the bottom is slimy! The raft was a nice feature. The “fitness center” is a joke. Please be honest and show 2 treadmills, an elliptical and two exercise balls. (We paid to go to a gym). There is a sauna and hot tub which we did not use. Finally the breakfast doesn’t even open until 8 am! Coffee at 7:30 would’ve been lovely. No great shakes for breakfast. The very basics. However the fresh bagels and muffins were delicious. Its proximity to Meredith is a great plus. Very friendly staff.
