The property is at a great location the parking is very nice off street close to the ocean and all of those things. I would say it would be helpful if the beds were longer bigger I booked a double thinking it’d be too queens and they were too small fulls you can definitely tell they are working at making improvements

Staff was really friendly and helpful when needed. Room was not that clean. Door was very hard to open. Took like 5 or so minutes to even unlock/lock the door. Every time. Lock seemed broken and was hard to shut/open. The plus of it all was that the beach was very close and we didn’t have to drive our car. Location wise everything was walking distance such as food, shopping, beach and live entertainment.

Don't listen to these other reviews. This place is just fine. The rooms we had were spacious, clean enough, and had everything we needed and more.

I admit that reading some of these horrendous reviews almost had me switching hotels. But once again, internet reviews turned out to be mostly written by folks who don't know how to appreciate things.

The only thing I disliked was that it could have been about $100 cheaper. That's it. Enjoy your stay, it's a fun little spot.

How if chlorine is supposed to clean all that! They didn’t want to refund the second day the purpose of my trip was to swim in the pool but didn’t get to. I don’t swim in the ocean but made the best of it outside the hotel.

We absolutely loved the location—so convenient with all the amenities nearby! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was spacious with comfortable beds. The pool was clean. Sadly, we couldn’t enjoy the nice balcony view because we had an upstairs guest who played music incredibly loudly until 11:00 pm, which we had to report to the staff. Then, at 3:00 am, there was another issue with the same guest, and we had to call the police. But overall, it was a good time!

One ice tray. Good toilet paper. Pools look nice but grounds are weedy and feel unclean, cigarette butts were mostly picked up when I asked. Can’t see ocean but it’s close. Old rusty electric floor heater from 1960’s? At least could paint it. Other repairs needed. Beds very firm, appeared clean. Two fabric covered chairs could use cleaning. Just about only reasonable priced room with kitchenette but I didn’t use the stovetop burners and would not go back here if I could afford somewhere else. Convenient to concert we were attending.

This property is a complete disgrace. I've never left any kind of review anywhere. But this very brief stay required it. We didn't even stay the first of two planned nights. I made a reservation at a nearby Hampton Inn within 20 minutes of being shown our disgusting room. The room was filthy. The beds were filthy. The bathroom was filthy and the shower inoperable. The patio area outside the room was strewn with garbage and dirty. Worst of all the room was not secure at all. The only entrance is sliding glass doors onto the gross patio - in a back corner of the property and dim, dirty pathway to the room. The LOCK did not work from the outside. You couldn't lock the door when you left the room. So you couldn't leave anything in the room. The office attendant was clueless, and the office was as wretched as the rest of the place. Dirty mops and old vaccums completely visible behind the counter. The attendant had to walk us to the room around the parking lot and down the back alley because there was no way we could have found it. Then entire place is a joke and an insult to any guest and all of Hampton Beach. The Board of Health should close the place. And Expedia should end its relationship with it. Just having it as an option to be booked is damaging to Expedia's credibility.

Stay away. This place is so bad. It's a slumlords rental it seems. Peeling paint, gross grouting around the toilet, doors that you have to fiddle with to get them to lock. Garbage all along the paths outside. I was put in one room that I could not get the door to lock. Roof of patio was falling down and leaking from rain. I got the girl to move us to another room, which seemed to be a little better. But no pillow cases on the pillows just old shams. I took off the shams and used a towel as a cover. Then the bathroom ceiling had water pouring down all over the floor and into the shower. No one is on duty late at night and management did not answer the phone. The next morning the water was all gone! It obviously was under the flooring and down the drain in the shower. It was obviously not the first time as the ceiling is soaking wet with paint peeling. The manager did not return my call so I called him around 2 that afternoon after I checked out at 9:30 am. He had no response except that his maintenance man would look at it. No apologies, no refunds. Trust me if I could have left I would have. I should have because I did not sleep! My friend didn't sleep. It was gross. While I was in office checking in a woman came in to pay rent. She stated that they stay there in the winter because it's what they can afford. This is a slum lord situation!

We came for an overnight and upon check in were offered a free upgrade which was great. The two gentlemen at the front desk were very welcoming. One brought me to see where the room was located and the other showed me where to park my larger sized vehicle. We were on the third floor. I sat outside and watched as the sun set. The sky was gorgeous. Since it was a one night stay in September, we didn’t bring our bathing suits, but I wish I had. The pool looked relaxing. The king sized bed was very comfortable. The location of the Inn was perfect for a walk to the beach. If we are in the area again, I would love to stay here.

The man at the front desk was kind and funny upon checking us in. The door to the room was definitely unsafe in terms of locking. The door also face the pool and the curtains weren’t blackout so any passerby could have glimpsed us in some peculiar positions like getting out of the shower etc. some quick changes could include adding blackout curtains, add a small cheap stand to the bathroom to place toiletries and wash cloths, consider including two bottles of inexpensive water in the rooms.
