We loved that It was within walking distance to beach, restaurants and shopping. However, the bathroom was so small we had to sit side-saddle on toilet or we couldn't close the door. The sink was ouside the bathroom with no place to hang tour towel.

The best part has to be the gorgeous ocean views from the third floor, corner room we were given (#23). The whole hotel is pretty dated and has been there a long time. It seemed to me that our bathroom had some recent updates, though. Hampton Beach is just kind of run down in general. Our stay did nothing tonchange my mind about that.

Only stay here if there are no other options. It's a quaint old building but has not been updated in a long time. The floors were really crooked. The upholstered chairs in the room were ripped and stained. The bathroom baseboards had layers of dust. The bed was hard as a rock. There was no deadbolt on the door, just locking knob and a chain. I stopped myself from looking more into how dirty the room actually was. The linens are not changed daily, no house keeping at all during our stay. We had to ask for a new set of towels.
no deadbolt, and an adjoining door that only had a locking doorknob.
both chairs looked like this

The hotel was very tired. Room needs some TLC, including (not limited to!); broken screen door, air con cover falling off, bed mattress was uncomfortable and sheets wouldn’t stay on mattress, balcony adjoined other units that smoked and room smelt. Only good thing was the view.

Potpourri smell
Older hotel with smaller rooms, perfect location, comfortable bed. Only real complaint is the floral cleaning products they use are overpowering. Smells like potpourri from the 70-80’s. Really offensive. We had to leave the sliding door open the first night to air the room out. Walked by a different room that was being cleaned, and the strong floral smell made me gag!

Only issue we really had was poor internet/wifi....our tv worked only after going to front desk and asked for help. Every time we signed off our phones and tablets we had to go thru the whole process to sign back in only to have 1 or 2 bars that booted us offline frequently. The location was great to walk to all stores,, bars, restaurants and of course the beach

The rooms are terrible. Very dirty. I'm an usually customer of this hotel, but didn't visit for 4 years. I've noticed that the rooms are very very dirty. That's the only bad point for me.

Such a quaint and charming inn literally in the middle of everything Hampton has to offer. The front porch offers the ideal spot for people watching if you are not lucky enough to have a balcony. The beach is literally across the street and you can even hear the waves once the business of the day dies down. If you are looking for an ultramodern hi-tech hotel, this is not the place for you (in fact, we had to forego tv during our stay because they were unable to get it working) but if you are looking for the nostalgia and simplicity of days past while still being in the thick of things, this may be for you

If you have to be on the strip with a view of the ocean, this is it. BUT rooms and bathrooms are tiny and extremely dated. We booked for the balcony with an oceanview. We got it, but didn't spend any time out there with the tiny stained table and plastic chairs. This was certainly not worth the high price! Stay away.
