Disliked: Room comfort
The room was very clean, and so was the whole property. The pool was heated, clean, and quiet, and the staff was very friendly. The rooms were cozy, but my only complaint would be that the bed was a bit uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that I left my husband in bed and slept on the couch LOL. It was within walking distance to everything, about a block or 2, which was perfect to keep us away from the noise of downtown. I would not mind staying here again!

Enjoyed our stay at Mainsail motel, traveled in from Canada. The facility was clean, and everything worked. Had a late check in, called the number on the office door and were checked in with no issues. Parked on site below room. Motel was right across the road from an amazing cafe and a 5 min walk to the main strip along the ocean.

Nice Area of Hampton Beach

Staff was very accomodating - helped my husband carry luggage up to the second floor and gave us directions to places that we wanted to visit. Not much beach view in our room but air conditioner/heater worked fine. Only two small items - bed was rather uncomfortable and there was mold on the shower curtain which when I reported, I was told that they were being replaced soon. It was very convenient to the Boardwalk and we enjoyed our stay.

The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. Doesnt look like the usual boring motel/hotels. Staff was so kind. My daughter has disabilities and had a meltdown in the main office. The staff could have ignored it and continue doing their job but instead they helped me calm her down. Definitely booking here again next year.

Nice little get away

I would recommend the Mainsail it is a cute little motel. Very clean and employees were very accommodating. Well-kept 1 block right off main strip of Hampton Beach. We would definitely stay again. We stayed in the Motel rooms side but they have cottages as well. Nice pool area.

Great stay. Clean and nice. They have a lot of cleaning staff, so I would remove checkout requirements for guests. Also, having drinking glasses (not coffee cups) would be an added bonus. Overall, good time and we would return.
