The rooms were clean enough. The location is absolutely perfect. We were able to leave the car there until 11 which was very nice. It's perfect for a weekend gateway, especially if you're out at the beach.

This is our fourth stay at Mainsail. It is the only place we stay when we go to Hampton Beach. It is quiet, mostly families. Very nice, clean pool. The staff is fantastic. They have really nice little cabins for larger families to stay in. But best of all, they are perfectly located to be close to the action but far enough away where you don’t hear a lot of noise. Right across the street you can buy a delicious iced coffee at Flamingos coffee bar or you can get a cheap bear and awesome Mexican food at the Corner Cantina.

The room was clean and pool area. Excellent close up to the beach but not noisy. No office staff later in the evening available and would have liked a couple cups or paper plates and dish towels for the kitchen that area.
