Ships Inn

For the price you pay off season (the only time i have stayed here), the room is great! If you want a one night getaway with a nice Jacuzzi suite, a comfy bed and a porch, this is the place to go. Is it super fancy? NO. For $ 100 for the night, I enjoy it in the winter as a fun romantic getaway place. The rooms have always been clean when i have stayed, the staff is very nice and flexible. Its nice and quiet which i like, the tubs have always been clean and in working condition and the beds are very comfy. I like the cable selection although a bigger flat screen would definitely be worth the investment for them. Overall, Ill continue to go off season and I would like to try it in season as they have an outdoor pool. I wish they had a restaurant or bar on site also.

Big hotel. 2 pools, bbq area, gorgeous sun deck. Rooms are large and clean. Close to the beach and all shops and restaurants. Coffee shop right across the street. Plenty of parking.

You can’t beat the location to everything. Yes, things were a little run down but it nothing I cared about. The room was clean the staff accommodated us if we needed anything. And to me that’s more important than chipped paint or a rusty ac that others complained about. I plan on coming back next year too. Much more convenient then a cottage cause you don’t have to lug up so much extra stuff like sheets and bath towels etc. Been there done that.

After staying at Ships Inn three years in a row, we have decided to never go back to this crappy run-​down hotel. The past two years we stayed in the same room and it was livable but less than desirable. This year we decided to splurge on a supposedly better room, but upon arriving we realized that this room was in even WORSE shape than the other. There were plenty of things that made our stay extremely uncomfortable, but the highlights are the broken shower, destroyed pull out bed, and the unexpected creatures inhabiting the area. First and foremost, our shower was not working and we couldn’t figure out how to fix it, after getting 3 staff members and 1 maintenance worker to look at it, the shower was still impossible to operate. On top of that, the pull out mattress, which was a huge selling factor of this room to my family, was absolutely destroyed. The sheets and mattress were disgustingly gross, and the mattress itself was torn with bits of the springs sticking out. Luckily, we brought an air mattress and didn’t have to use the pull out bed. The last thing that REALLY ruined our stay was the family of skunks living under our room’s porch. There was a visible burrowing hole in the space underneath our porch, and the staff was aware of the animal’s presence. They advised guests to «make a lot of noise» when walking by that area to scare the skunks away. I have a feeling that these animals would create a problem between Ships Inn and the Board of Health. The only plus to this hotel is it’s location, hence the one star. Next year when we return to Hampton Beach we are definitely shopping around more for hotels, because we do not want to stay in this nasty inn again.

Decent place. House keeping not making up the room till about 3:00pm. Nothing but excuses about why the WIFI doesn’t work. Was told at the desk that every place at the beach that has «free» Internet is the same. You decide if that sounds reasonable.

Great Customer Service, close to the beach, nice views, reasonable price. The decks are nice to relax on, after a day at the beach. Rooms have kitchens with utensils you may need to cook a meal or snack, free ice, plenty of towels, friendly staff. loved it!
