Dirty and trashy
The room was dirty, tub was disgusting, carpet filthy, visible stains on the comforter, towels stained, old and rough. Had a cheap trashy motel feel to it. NEVER AGAIN!

No towels until requested, no tissues, no phone, no table lamp, door lock was tricky. There was a lot of trampling noise from the stairs and walk outside until 4 am.

It wasn’t the best. The first room they gave me was horrible smell like cigars so I had to ask for another room and that one was OK, but the bed was as hard as a brick while the other bed was comfortable.

Don’t waste your money
Mold in the bathroom, no toilet paper, office claims they’re open until 11 but at 9:00 there was nobody there, beds are incredibly uncomfortable, there was sand covering the floors before we even checked in, only two of the electrical outlets worked, it was incredibly loud- you could hear every step the people above you took, definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here

FOR THE Beginning of the Summer Season, Mem. Weekend, they were not prepared. Refrigerator didn't work, light switches not functioning, lamp broken... Room was clean, water hot, bed relatively comfortable.

Clean, safe, efficient check in and check out. Good customer relations. Property is in the process of making some upgrades. Close to Hampton Beach, shopping and dinning areas.
