We had the best stay! We stayed for 9 days, our room was always cleaned and had new towels, the beds were comfy and the staff was amazing!!! Everyone was so kind and happy! The one thing we didn’t like was the parking was tight in the front but they didn’t tell us about the spaces in the back! There is another parking lot behind the building! The breakfast was perfect and always stocked up! Deff worth the stay!

My family of 4 stayed here for 2 nights when traveling to Hampton beach for a long weekend. It was one of the last places available that was still close enough to the beach so I booked it. Needless to say, we will definitely be choosing to stay here again. I was so surprised how clean it was, it didn’t have that “hotel smell,” everyone was very nice and accommodating, the beds were comfortable, the continental breakfast offered each morning was great, etc. I can usually be very picky with hotels but I have nothing negative to say about this one. Definitely recommend!
