Best part is that this property is near to beach. Rest all is okay for the price we paid. We were given room 102. This room very smelly like mold or smoking. Mowed us to room 208 which better and seemed updated.

The room was clean, sheets were clean and the towels smelled fantastic. Very close to the ocean. I personally didn’t like the sliding doors but they worked and the locks were good. The bed was too firm for me but my other half liked it. I would stay there again.It was affordable.

We stayed for one night. The room was nice, the jetted hot tub an added bonus. We did not like the location of the room on top of a garage with no knowledge of the other areas of the property. No ice machine nearby. Location was good. Property was clean.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were nice size. The location was perfect. Not directly on the beach , but foot steps away.. Nice surprise was the AMAZING view for the fireworks. Watched them from the hotel deck. Couldnt have had a better view . Right over our heads. My only complaint was the bed wasnt very comfortable. Not sure if it was a room specific thing. We liked the laid back atmosphere. Would go back. If you're

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.
