This is a good hotel for the price, and very close to beach. The room had 2 double beds which were comfortable, also had a toaster, coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge. The tv had many channels to choose from. This is an older hotel so t could use a little tlc in spots, but if your looking for easy access to beach and the strip at a great price this is it. The man at front desk is very helpful as well
Really nice room with full kitchen short walk to Hampton beach. Perfect for a fishermen who doesn’t want to spend all his money eating out. Refrigerator stove oven microwave coffee maker.

Staff was excellent, room was just ok. Bed was uncomfortable (to me) and squeaked with every movement. The bathroom is not in good shape.

This property is a typical beach cottage. It could use continued upgrades. There were multiple fixtures missing light and the bed was ok. The place was good enough. The property was super loud. You can hear right through the walls and the road noise can disturb light sleepers.
The room was clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The bed in my room was super firm I hated it but my husband loved it. My friend stayed in a different room and her beds were soft so I guess they are not all the same. overall I stayed for a day and it was perfect.
The room was clean. The bathroom was clean. The place was great. I would stay there again.
