Pretty room, one bed was soft the other was really hard. No toilet paper holder, which was odd because we had to put the roll behind the toilet or on the side of the sink. The heated pool was wonderful and very clean.

Kimberly

The staff was easy to reach despite not being on site. The room was fairly clean, slightly remodeled. It was off season, so no pool, but the location was good. The beds were pretty comfy but they didn't have a blanket, just a sheet and a thin comforter. There was a fridge and microwave in the room which was super helpful. The instructions to check out were a bit strange. Take off all the bedding, take all your trash to the receptacles outside. Felt like a lot. But overall a good stay.

Great location just a block off the strip and beaches. Ideal for any Hampton Beach events. Staff was nice, rooms were clean, hard to ask for more from a motel. Would go back for sure.
