Guest Reviews
- Gene (8/5): - Basic. Clean. Inexpensive.
- Rosalie (6/5): - There was a nice coffee pot but no coffee. The cups had bugs in them. The.bathroom has long black hairs all over the sink and the bathroom floor. The bedspread had bloodstains on it. There was no one around to check out so we left the room unlocked and the key in the room.
- Sheila (10/5): Quiet and nearby - Older motel well maintained just down from the beach. Very sweet owners uograded our room when they found out it was our anniversary. No vending machine on site but the owner brought us out ice and some cans of coke. It was very much appreciated after walking the boardwalk all day. Id definitely stay here again.
- Dominic (10/5): - Nice little motel ..very clean ..owner was very nice my only complaint is the bed was not very comfortable.. but i would stay here again and very close to the beach maybe 5 min walk
- Georges (8/5): - Overall I had a good stay. The plumbing was somewhat finecky. The atmosphere was more like a motel in the sixties without the vibrating bed!
The place was mainly quiet except for the construction site across the street.
- Michelle L (6/5): - It was close to the ocean but the amenities were lacking
- Donna (10/5): Hidden gem - Very nice folks. Felt more like family. Clean and comfortable
- Marlene (8/5): 4 night stay for Hampton Beach Seafood Festival - This motel was quiet, clean and convenient. They are clearly lacking staff, as there was no daily service, and we had to manage our own trash. However, Suzie was gracious and kind and does her best to manage things solo (there may be one other who helps her out, but we never saw anyone other than Suzie). I would stay here again
- Robert (8/5): - Tv wasn’t Hd? Parking was tight.
- NICHOLAS (8/5): - Amazing
- Adam (2/5): Horrible place horrible customer service, just bad - Had a family emergency come up before my stay, called to inform the hotel that I was unable to make it, now I understand they have a charge one night if a cancellation is made. But this situation was out of my hands and nothing I can do about it, and now I’m short $218 along with the other bs I’m
Currently dealing with, after this situation I wouldn’t stay here if someone paid me too
- Anne (8/5): - Nice little family place a bit off a walk to the beach. But for the room savings its cheap enough to pay for beach parking. Clean quiet and nice people.
- christine (10/5): - Very pleased. A mom and pop motel that will satisfy anyone
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was freest but too expensive for what was offered…
- Angela (6/5): Updates and help needed... - The motel has a decent location and the room was clean upon arrival. However, they are understaffed to the point where we were told to get our own towels and tp and take out our own trash and the room was not touched in 5 days. The beds are also super uncomfortable. I understand COVID has hit everyone hard and I am not trying to bash a small business but there is a certain basic standard that should be maintained. The owner says they are renovating this year. Hopefully, that's true.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Walking distance to the beeches. The owner nicely allowed us to store bicycles in her backyard.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice and clean motel with a perfect location! Family operated and we had the pool to ourselves!
- Tammy (8/5): - The staff was very friendly and helpful! Clean and well maintained.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - IT WAS NICE WILL GO BACK THERE
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Will definitely stay again! The room was much bigger than I expected and it was such a cozy stay. The owner and her family are great and add to the experience! We could not hear any neighbors or any outside noise when inside our room.
- Brad (10/5): Thank you! - They bent over backwards to help us out. After having to leave an airbnb because of a situation they did what they could to fit my family in. I appreciate that they were courteous, and professional
- Mary (10/5): Clean, convenient and comfortable - We really enjoyed our stay here at the Sun and Surf! Very friendly staff and always ready to help even though they didn’t have the larger staff they are used to. The room was very clean and beds are comfortable. Such a convenient location to Hampton Beach and all of the strip by the water.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Roomwas very clean but the furnishings a little dated. The price was VERY reasonable for the location. Parking and a pool were added bonuses !!!
- Luis (10/5): Beach weekend - It was great
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Our trip to Hampton Beach was spontaneous. I never stayed at the Sun & Surf and was not sure what to expect. The owner and other staff were very friendly and accommodating! There was a issue with the shower and the owner made a point to immediately let us know the issue as soon as we arrived! I’ll be back :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were friendly and helpful, check-in was quick.The room was clean and well stocked.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Run down motel - Bad smell and got to change another room. Not convenient to check out at 10am. Quiet location, closed to the beach walk
- Verified traveler (6/5): In a pinch - Facility was very clean, minimal comfort, useful for last minute planning. Susie is a love but won’t be back.
- Miriam (10/5): - I like that that staff is friendly, and very helpful.
- john (8/5): - easy check in and out. just off the main drag. close enough to walk to the beach if you are able. plenty to do in any direction from here.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Host was kind and helpful.
- Heather (10/5): - Staff are lovely! Grill and pool were great amenities. Rooms were clean. Will return again!
- Brenda (8/5): Vacation during Covid - We had a nice stay at the Sun & Surf Motel during our recent vacation at Hampton Beach. I would recommend with some advance guidelines. Due to Covid they do not clean rooms during your stay. You need to let them know if you need towels, sheets or other supplies. It’s a minor inconvenience and was not a problem for us. There is a coffee pot in the room but you need to bring your own coffee & filters. They keep the pool clean & the area around pool as well. It’s a short walk to the beach nearby. Overall decent room for the price.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very clean and very hospitable, pool was clean. Nice location between Hampton and North Hampton beaches.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The owner was very kind . She even made it safe for my grandson sge put us in the back so peaceful back there. He lived the pool.
The onky thing i found disappointing was there was no railing to use to get into the pool. But i fugured away . Trying to schedule for next year but it says they are already booked. I will have to call .
- Kenya (8/5): - Quite , walking distance, not any real amenities but cheap
- JAMES (10/5): Nice - It is a simple spot to stay at...but that's just what we needed. We rested in the quiet surroundings...but we're close enough to hit the noise and party scene up the street at the beach.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location to walk the beaches of North Hampton! Lovely hotel owner ready to address all your needed. Well equipped units with basic kitchen needs in mind. Clean and comfortable. We would return again!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - This is my 3rd year coming here and this was the most disappointing. The tub looked like it hadn't been scrubbed all summer. If I walked barefoot in my room the bottom of my feet would get this black/dirty color to them. The air conditioner smelled like it was stuffed with old, moldy gym socks, so I barely could use it.
- Susan (10/5): - Clean. Great price. Friendly owner and stay
Hot water took some time to warm up. Pool needs a rail at stairs hard to get in and out. Had a great stay
- Maurice (8/5): - pretty good
- Mary (10/5): - While the property could use some updating, it is quiet, clean, comfortable, and close to the beach/boardwalk. The big draw for us is the pool. There is nothing like coming back from a long, hot day at the beach and being able to relax at the pool. If you want a no frills place that is clean and comfortable, you will be happy here.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Friendly - Clean room, however there is no coffee, soap or shampoo provided so make sure to bring your own. There is a coffee maker for your use. About 1/2 mile from the beach.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - No frills, but clean & friendly! Pool area was lovely & nestled in behind the motel away from the street.
- John (8/5): - nice,good ........nothing fancy a bit dated but comfortable
- Verified traveler (8/5): - perfect for a short quick trip, close to the beach and very friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We had a wonderful time! This motel is out of the way and private and quiet. They were more than accommodating when changing our room to fit our needs. The pool could use a few updates since it was hard to get in and out without slipping.
- Mark (8/5): It’s a truly budget motel - The motel is located at the end of the Main Street which meant a little walk to the beach. This was great as we were wanting to get our steps in. It doesn’t have a view of the beach but I didn’t expect it based on how little we paid. It is on the main road which meant that from time to time loud motorcycles came by but this couldn’t be avoided even with more expensive hotels with a view on the main road. The person who checked us in was welcoming and warm. The room had thin walls so you could hear the neighbours. It needs a serious updating but everything seems to be functioning. The sheets were old but clean. Some of the hand towels were stained and frayed but the bath towels looked fairly new. The kitchen and microwave were handy. The AC was functioning well. Some of the surfaces were sticky from previous guests’ drinks which made me question the cleanliness of the room in general. All in all, you get what you paid for. If you don’t mind staying in a budget motel, then this is for you.
- Melissa (10/5): - It was great!
- James (10/5): - Stay was fantastic, friendly owner and staff we loved our time here 10/10
- Verified traveler (10/5): - few minutes away from the beach, a quiet and friendly place, very clean.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very clean, good location, all essentials in room.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Its within walking distance to the beach, inexpensive, basic, kitchenette, clean. The only negative points are no tub- only shower, shower water took a long time to get hot, no papertowels.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Property is close to the ocean the owner is a sweetheart and it’s close to a lot of cool things to do!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Location was good and room clean, but the bed was very mediocre.
Shower pressure was terrible and didn’t use it.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very nice place, very clean. Missing a good WiFi.
The connection very poor
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great view, pay for what you get - Went for Columbus Day weekend! Great view literally walking distance from the ocean, got a great deal being off season. Foreign owners but very nice. The hotel is a lot older so in essence you pay for what you get. The water was a pain to make warm. We had to turn on the sink to make the shower warm. But overall it wasn’t an awful experience. Parking was a little tight. I’m sure during regular season it’s busier.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect location can walk along ocean Blvd in either direction and a short drive to target ..Christmas tree shop in Portsmouth .. the owner of sun and surf was very friendly and accomadating
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The blinds were broken and the carpet really really needed to be cleaned. My granddaughter was barefoot walking on them and her feet were black.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was extremely nice. You get everything you need on a good price. Great location!
- Chrysi (10/5): - I was looking for affordable and I found it to be, I went in September. It was clean and cozy.
- Nath (6/5): - The hotel was ok. It was what I expected, nothing fancy. Bathroom really small. I was desappointed to see that the pool was close and the internet was bad.
The staff was ok (2 persons), try to help but seems confused at time.
The location is great , 5 minutes walking to the beach
- Tammy (8/5): - Very clean and friendly staff and friendly guests had great time!!!
- EdwardDence (10/5): - just outside the city so it was nice an quiet the parking area was very hard to maneuver at times being so narrow an close to each other
- 514 (6/5): - Motel management tries its best to make your guest experience a good one.
- Tornado (8/5): - Perfect spot betwen the main street and the surf spot
- Julianne (8/5): - Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The refrigerator allowed us to bring beverages and some food to reduce eating out cost. We took advantage of the grill available out by the pool.
- Ryalet1024 (10/5): - The property is cheaper compared to hotels around the area. The room has microwave, tv & refridgirator, but no hair dryer.The bathroom is clean, but a bit small. Free parking for your car. Bring your own shampoo & conditioner because only soap was provided. There's also a small pool for kids. Its around the beach, but if you"re. packing lots of things, it's better to park close to the beach for $5 or $10 all day fee for your convenience. The owner was nice. The motel is quieter compared to most hotels near the beach. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a place to stay near Hampton Beach area.
- R (6/5): - This was my 2nd time staying here. The location is nice, easy to get to the beach or the main strip in Hampton Beach. I was in a different room this year and the bed was a marshmallow , the opposite of the bed I had last year. It looked like a new mattress but I had a difficult time sleeping on it. The room itself was clean, the tub had no soap scum. I would stay here again. The staff is friendly tho invisible for the most part. This is a good place for a decent price.
- Rachel (10/5): Sun and Surf Motel - The owner was very accommodating and pleasant to speak with. The room was comfortable and quiet. Convenient to the beach and strip, but far enough away to be able to enjoy down time without the noise/crowds of the strip. The price was very reasonable compared to other hotels/motels in the area. I will book my stay here on my future visit(s).
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The hotel was decent. Kind of a small room and a bit outdated. If you’re looking for a quiet place to stay you may want to go further from the Hampton beach area as we could hear cars zooming up and down the street all night. The beds are comfortable, a/c worked well and the pool was nice but the coffee maker was blocked and the room could have been cleaner. We had a few dead mosquitos lying around.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good location, fine for sleeping. Wear your shoes. - Location near the beach was great, and the bathroom was clean but the carpet was not clean--blackened feet from a trip from the shower to the bed. Beds were comfortable enough and liked having a fridge and a microwave.
- NOMO (6/5): Relatively inexpensive basic motel for this area - Compared to other motels in this area, relatively inexpensive clean place to stay. Be aware, it's very basic. Room was clean and quiet. Bed was comfortable enough and AC worked OK. Linens and towels are really basic. There is a fridge and microwave, but not much else. No hairdryer, shampoo, alarm clock, phone or coffee provided although there was a coffee pot. Outdoor pool is a plus.
Again, as long as you're not expecting a lot of frills, it's an ok place to stay.
If you don't mind paying more, stay elsewhere.
- Stacy (8/5): Better than expected! - This was better than I expected, considering that I booked a busy area two days before we wanted to go, a very last-minute thing and this was the ONLY place with availability. The room was very clean and reasonably comfortable, it was a quiet place and we enjoyed our stay.
- Barb (8/5): - The owner was very accommodating, walking distance, to Hampton beach, close to other family members, that stayed at another motel, the gas grill worked out great along with the refrigerator, A/C and microwave, coffee maker all appliances were great, the pool gave us some time to relax the picnic table served its purpose, chairs outside our room se we could have some quiet time while the 2 kids were sleeping got to enjoy the sound of the sea. It was easy to find on the main drag, no headache free parking, used my wagon to walk to the beach. I rate this motel 4.5 stars, the price was great.
- Amy (10/5): - When we checoed in the owner was there very pleasant and so helpful. The room was perfect not big but we didn’t want that. If your looking for a place to stay I highly recommend this motel. Defiantly commg back! The pictures are from around the corner of the motel.
- Jessica (8/5): It was nice - Close to beach and lil Jacks restaurant it was a nice stay
- dany (10/5): First time good time
- Easy to find
Close to the beach
Easy to bike to the boardwalk
Will recommand to friends
- Verified traveler (6/5): OK. - Beds were very uncomfortable and noisy. Our room was right next to the bbq area and got quite loud in the evening. Also had trouble checking in due to no one being in the office for 5-10 minutes.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It was a perfect room for the price. Small walk to the beach and the staff was very friendly
- Verified traveler (8/5): Just what we were looking for. Inexpensive, clean - After reading the other reviews I was actually pleasantly surprised. It is not an updated fancy place but for the price it was just what we were looking for and that was an inexpensive weekend at the beach and a place to crash after a day at the beach. Beds were hard but it was clean. Bring shampoo and a hair dryer as they are not provided.
- CJ (8/5): - Reasonably priced - good location
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Please be aware ... That you will need the credit card you use online at check in ..
- Shane (8/5): - Close to ocean very relaxing
- Christopher (6/5): Close to beach, but also close to road. - I stayed there off-season. The room was clean, the place is old, but not a shambles. Given the fact that it is about 500 feet from the beach, it was inexpensive. Unfortunately, it was very close to the road and it was one of the warmest late spring evenings this year, so there was quite a bit of traffic (and loud bikes).
- Verified traveler (6/5): - quiet, mostly comfortable and clean, oldish décor from days gone by. Shower needs replacing.
- Jenny (10/5): Sun and Surf Motel Review - I loved my room! Stayed with my daughter for one night and it was so homey feeling and very clean. We will definitely stay there again!!! Thank you so much for your hospitality and the great atmosphere.
- Denise (8/5): - Easy check in , close to beach ,clean , good for the money ,beds hard as the floor!!
- Joseph (2/5): Stay some place else - I would never stay there again office closed smoke detector kept waking me up every 15 minutes all night long
- Verified traveler (6/5): Oh well - I guess you get what you pay for. The mattress was hard, the pillows were hard, it's an old motel but it is on the beach.
- Craig (8/5): Nice place - Nice place with kitchenette but bring your own condiments
- Verified traveler (6/5): Place to crash only - If you need a cheap place to crash, this would be the only reason to stay here.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pleasantly surprised! - Unexpectedly it had a full kitchen which allowed us to buy groceries instead of eating out and saved tons of money! Friendly staff! The location was better than expected in relation to the beach -literally like a 3 minute walk and we were happy it was out of the main touristy area so it was much more relaxed and quiet! Kids loved the pool! We will definitely stay there again next year!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Room was clean and staff was accommodating. Shower and bathroom towels were small but the hotel served its purpose. I would stay here again
- Maria (10/5): Quaint hotel - The owner was very helpful and nice. The hotel was well maintained and cozy.
- Jeff (8/5): - Everything was good accept I was almost charged twice for a one night stay so be careful. Also most hotel and motels let you check out at 11am and theirs was 10 am . Theirs no breakfast there but their is a pool and theirs a restaurant across the street but they don't serve breakfast .
- Verified traveler (2/5): Mattress horror! - Room looked old but was clean and neat. Major problem was way mattress strongly smelled of urine. I slept upside down on top of the blankets.....YUCK!!!!! A positive nite, manage/owner was nice.
- RV (8/5): A decent place - I enjoyed my 3 days at Sun and Surf. The room was clean with the air conditioner already running. Plenty of towels. The sheets were a tad worm but clean. Bed was pretty comfy. The location is great as a seafood place is across the street and there is a beach right next door. The staff was friendly . I booked at the last minute and felt the price was OK. The only downside is that the motel is literally right on Rt 1A and there is plenty of traffic that cruises up and down the road until midnight during the week. I was not here for the weekend as I left on Saturday morning. Modest cable TV, microwave and a small fridge. I would stay here again.
- Claudia (4/5): Good location, but bad smell - The room didn't smell good. The shower was not clean. However, good location to go to the beach on foot.
