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.

The location was great but the room had several flies upon entering. The bedspreads and blankets were stained. It was an average motel otherwise. Location was good.

We have been to the Mainsail 4 times, the penultimate time being in 2019. Before, it was cleaner. Inside the room: Ceiling fan is full of dust, the air conditioning blades too, the bottom of the shower curtain is very dirty. The staff only changes the towels, but a good sweeper to pick up the sand would be nice. The exterior is perfect. Parking is very good and everything is secure.

Our room was located on the 3rd floor with the most rickety, dangerous staircase ever. Room smelled terrible. Lots of sketchy people that seemed to live there.
