Location of the property was excellent,the nightly cost was very reasonable and front porch was great to remain outside and watch people. Room and bathroom were a little small but okay. Would stay there again and get a room with a private balcony.

A good option for a stay in Hampton Beach. The room smelt a bit stale, but it is better than most I've seen. The location is great and the ocean view is a real plus.

Liked: Cleanliness
The Pro's: Outstanding water pressure in the shower. I've stayed at roughly 100 different hotels and this is easily a top 5 in that regard. Getting checked in & out was pretty seamless. The Cons: The beds absolutely suck. Felt like I was sleeping on a box spring. Patio table was pretty dirty, shower curtain only covered half of the shower so I had to throw a towel down in order to not completely soak the bathroom floor, room was pretty small. Parking was a bit of a headache too but, with all the places to stay in the area, I can understand not all places can get premium parking lots.

Great Hotel

Booked a last minute night at the beach. The Hillcrest was the perfect spot. Walking distance to everything, beach across the street, playground across the street as well. The room was quiet at night and did not let in a lot of outside noise. Would stay again!
