Great convenient stay

Staff was very accommodating as we were running a half marathon in Hampton Beach. We had a later check-out including our parked car in off-street parking which is a plus!

My husband and I stayed in the king room with the full ocean view and it was peaceful and a wonderful view of the ocean. The front desk receptionist was extremely friendly and he even allowed us to park in the lot when we checked out. The bathroom was a tad small, but good enough when that's not your main worry. We paid for the view and boardwalk, and we got exactly that. We will be booking again for our anniversary next year. Thank you Hillcrest staff for the relaxing stay!

STAY ELSEWHERE

BEWARE!! I have never staying in a more disgusting place as I have here. I can deal with outdated but this place was just plan gross. From ceiling tiles falling off, mold in shower and bathroom walls. Baseboards falling off and rotting. The carpets were gross and would not ever suggest walking barefoot. The AC unit on the balcony is a huge hazard as it's right where the table and chairs are and it's rotted & rusted. The common areas are also very dirty with old dilapidated furniture and fixtures and 100 year old worn carpeting. We thought staying right on the main boardwalk would be a nice experience to be close to everything but it was NOT worth the money they get for these dumps.

The bed was very comfortable! The room itself was a good size but the bathroom is small . They don’t offer housekeeping however if you ask at the front desk, they will get you extra pillows or towels. There are no elevators so if you have issues climb and stairs, it would be very hard to stay there.

Cozy spot

View was perfect for a side view , the deck is definitely worth the stay . Staff is extremely friendly and personable . Ac worked amazing, shower pressure was good , small bathroom slippers in the shower be careful . Over all solid place for a night away with a friend or spouse if you plan on being out and about. Affordable parking oh my i have a large suv very tight spots but got out very very carefully.. cute spot perfectly located to everything… probably could use some updates maybe ditch the carpet and put flooring down coat of paint and cute decor would probably make a world of difference imo . BUTTTT LOVELY STAY greeted with kindness and when checking out they were super kind and friendly definitely would stay again because of that alone oh and plenty of seating out on their front deck
