We had a wonderful stay at The Ships Inn in Hampton Beach! The entire staff was amazing, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience, and their hospitality truly stood out. The inn was a great place to stay while enjoying everything Hampton Beach has to offer, and the positive atmosphere made our trip even better. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend The Ships Inn to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Hampton Beach. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit such a memorable one!

Was able to get a single night on the 4th of July for a very reasonable price. We got a mini studio which was beautiful, and right next to the pool! Staff were very friendly, and a 2 minute walk to the action! As a landscaper, the overgrown weeds are an eyesore, and the siding can use a good pressure washing.

Don't listen to these other reviews. This place is just fine. The rooms we had were spacious, clean enough, and had everything we needed and more. I admit that reading some of these horrendous reviews almost had me switching hotels. But once again, internet reviews turned out to be mostly written by folks who don't know how to appreciate things. The only thing I disliked was that it could have been about $100 cheaper. That's it. Enjoy your stay, it's a fun little spot.

The rooms could be updated but it was clean. The roof was excellent to watch the fireworks. Very closed to the beach strip. But… the pool was disgustingly gross. Dingy water, mold around the pool. How if chlorine is supposed to clean all that! They didn’t want to refund the second day the purpose of my trip was to swim in the pool but didn’t get to. I don’t swim in the ocean but made the best of it outside the hotel.
