Ashworth by the Sea Review

Location is great, but hotel rooms and hallways really need updates (the pool too!). Ocean view room was really more a view of the pool roof and we were very disappointed that we paid the extra money for a balcony with barely any view. Hotel was also quite noisy. You can't get a better location in Hampton Beach, but this place could really use some TLC.

Absolutely loved this hotel! Attended a work party here, loved it so much came back the following weekend. Was storming both weekends but still loved it! The beds are comfy and warm. The beach view rooms are awesome, wasn't able to reserve a beachfront room though, sadly. The staff that was at the party was attending to breakfast in the diner the next day and they were friendly and kind, made me feel like I was at home, not in a hotel. The staff treated us like family. Definitely will be revisiting, just hope they have a beachfront room this time

It is a really nice place to stay at. It is right by the beach, you literally walk twenty feet and you are on the beach. Overall very nice.

Weekend getaway is a weekend no no. The hotel is very old, dirty and very expensive. The carpet smells old and moldy. The mattress is not comfortable. Only thing that was good was the walk to the beach and its right next to the boardwalk.

Great views a little dated room but a six inch Gap underneath your door

Good location, nice place, right on the beach strip

Greedy People, I reserved a room on the 22nd, and tried to cancel on the same day and they told me I had until the 17th (5 days before) to cancel.

Wonderful bartenders, great view of the ocean and a quiet place to relax

Two stars for the location and the valet, who was very nice. The front desk staff, James, was extremely pompous when we arrived. I inquired about reservations at the restaurant and he assured me I just must make a reservation if I were to dine at the Breakers. I called, the restaurant said first come first serve. Rooms are extremely outdated. Bed was a rock. Bathroom was disgusting. Towel rack fell off when I went to hang a towel. The toilet seat was extremely disturbing, until I saw the toilet base; stuff of nightmares (room 104). On a plus the weather was beautiful and we could kind of see the ocean from the side view balcony. Food at restaurant was meh (charcuterie board had cut up Cabot cheese, nothing fancy), veggie ratatouille was terrible (should have went with the fish). On a plus side the hotel did give Poland spring for the bottled water.

I got the filthiest room and wall paper was peeling and everything. Not worth 300+

Nice decor welcoming and modern but I went to use atm cause I needed cash and it was out of survice

Filthy outdated motel. There were bleach stains on the old dated carpet. The tub was stained and black and dirty. There was hair wrapped around the shower faucet. The toilet had urine stains. There were stains on the lamp shades and wall art. There was no room service, I tried to order breakfast and was told by the front desk that I would have to come down and get it myself. The walls were paper thin, everyday we were woken up by a man coughing and yelling on the phone from the room next door. This place charges $20 a day for valet( valet was great btw) and a resort fee?? For what this place is far from a resort! We actually checked out early as we could not stand to stay another day at that disgusting place.

The room was far from "covid clean". We expected more for the money. Charged the "service" fee but no services. No housekeeping. They fail to mention on their site that the pool is closed. We also would have liked to have known that there was construction outside of our $363.00 balcony that starts at 6:45 am. causing our brain injured family member a great deal of stress due to sensory overload.from the nonstop construction noise from 6:45 AM UNTIL 5 pm. Staff is rude too from the valet on through.

Also stayed here during a weekend get away, I liked it, very nice...

The food was good. The little neck clams do, in fact, have little necks.

Nice Bar on the rooftop... great service and music.

The rooftop deck for drinks and live entertainment after a fantastic beach day hits the spot!

Room was tired restaurant wasn't open for breakfast as advertised and staff was RUDE!

It was very clean and the room was nice, however the bed sucked plain and simple. No support in the mattress. We both did not sleep most of the night and got up with backaches. Beautiful ocean view...just make sure you ask for the front ocean view when you book, or the room is on the side. The people were very friendly and helpful!

Spent our first wedding anniversary here. I love that they're pet friendly and get to enjoy the heated pool as well. The reason why im not giving this place a 5 star is bcos of their clam/ New England Chowder. It was a cold weather we're expecting a Chowder to be serve hot (not warm). Plus it's too creamy for our liking.

Great place. Right on the beach. Clean and convenient.

It's a nice hotel, and the cafe is good for a quick bite to eat

Good hotel, but wouldn't let us check in for our honeymoon. (We're both 20) and only tell us that its company policy. The woman at the desk and the valets were nice, management was cold and borderline rude. It's great if you are able to get in and dont plan on talking to staff.

I was there last Sat night (Jan. 30th). We actually brought our dog because she loves the beach. She is not doing well and we wanted to spoil her. We spent 3 hours between the hours of 1-4 am listening to a couple in the next room screaming, swearing, yelling and throwing things. My poor dog was petrified. We called the front desk 2x for them to come up. I was ready to call the police. We checked out the next morning and I told the desk person about our issue. He said, yes, I heard about that. I'm sorry. That was it. Nothing else. Like it was ok that we spent money to get away for a night only to have gotten no sleep and a sick dog that was scared to death. We even had to pay $40 to have the dog there for the night. I will never go back there again and honestly...they obviously don't care about anything except for money. Pretty sad.

I paid over 200$ a night and then they charged my credit card for 15$ a day amenities and 18$ a day to park my car. And sheets didnt fit and people partying and loud music all night. Terrible stay!

Didn't stay at the hotel, ate dinner here the servers were very nice but the food was extremely slow coming out. We were a party of ten which may have been part of the issue. All in all it took three hours to eat dinner. The food was good when we got it, but definitely make sure you have plenty of time if you decide to eat here.

This place is a rip off bugs in the room and no hot water. Stay some other place $403 for one night..... not impressed.

Pay for parking $18/per day and you pay to use their pool, Wi-Fi and weight room $15/per day

Okay first the staff here were amazing...friendly, courteous, helpful...everything you would want in hotel staff. The hotel room itself...meh.

Was told on the phone that places started to open not a thing was open and the pool is not handicap extensible at all

Cute hotel next to scm Awesome beach. Rooms although small are perfect for weekend getaway.

Employees very nice only problem was The ice machine right outside our door very loud kept waking us up people used it very late at night and very early morning besides that everything was fine

Great service, great armosphere. Rooms have ocean view.

Was excited to visit and booked a nice room, however state travel restrictions due to covid 19 forced us to change plans. Submitted for a waive of fees due to covid, but received 0 response from the hotel and was forced to pay full price to cancel. Very disappointed they offered no additional options regarding covid

Dancing year round, summer outdoor upstairs deck, ocean view location & well established and popular.

Clean rooms, right on the beach, pleasant staff. My only recommended improvement would be more comfortable pillows and mattress.

Cannot beat the location. Right across from the beach and on the boardwalk. During the summer season they have mandatory valet parking of cars. It's expensive for what you get though. The rooms are super small.

Perfect place to stay. Breakfast is served fresh every morning. The Hotel is right on the beach. Plus it's in a perfect location to see the fireworks!!

Good service but I don't like about car parking lot here. There are no through way from inside building to car parking lot.

Good value and location. Helpful and friendly staff. Visited three years in a row, consistently meets expectations

Friendly staff and clean rooms, the parking was a little frustrating because they were allowing you to self park in the valet lot, but I couldn't fit in there without blocking someone in so I had to move down the block a ways. The balcony also didn't face the water, I don't think any of them do (you can see it but it's down the block).

The valet was very professional and helpful, the front desk was patient and informative, the waitstaff in the ball room did the best they could

I attended an event at the Ashworth recently. I'm unsure if it was the fault of the hotel or the association hosting it, but it seemed pretty disorganized. They put out food without utensils or serving spoons, little things like that. The food was very good, though.

The food was very good and the room had a elegant atmosphere

Time to update some of your furniture! Had an oceanfront room, the sofa couch almost unusable! Ran out of TP with no extra roll , had to use kleenex :( little breakfast Cafe was very nice along with nice staff , check in staff need a refresher in being social, and explaining check in, seem to have a chip on their shoulders....been there 2x in the past few months , NYE special event and bday which falls on valentines weekend ,spent alot of $$$ but quality has definitely dropped , don't know who is responsible for clearing parking but the ice was insane and it was risky walking!! Get the plows out!

We only had drinks at the bar but they were great! Great tasting, great atmosphere. Great security and bar tenders!

Overall great. They have valet service, indoor pool, tanning deck, great restaurant/bar, great service, and great breakfast restaurant that even services bloody Mary's. This is by far the best hotel.

Brunch was blah, better food at my daughter's college cafeteria.

Room was ok at best, it was clean and decent size, view from side of building across the street from main attraction was good. Lobby very up to date and fancy but as you work your way away from the lobby the facility dates itself. Be aware of daily fees and parking to be include in your costs. I was refunded $18 for non-disclosure of parking costs.

The Ashworth is located right along the main strip at Hampton Beach. It's a bit fancier than many of the other restaurants, but we didn't find it to be any more expensive. The atmosphere was relaxing, the staff was attentive and knowledgeable, and the food was fantastic!

Good location to the beach, parking is a bit rediculous for off season at 18$ a night, but would be worthwhile in the summer when parking would be scarce.

On the ocean front, great view and many choices of things to do, it's a do over.

Stopped by the ashworth for drinks over labor day weekend. We had a nice time. I really like the bar. It has a very "beachy feel". We will definitely be stopping in again next time we are in the area.

Staff is incredible. I called with an issue regarding my reservation and they went above and beyond to help me.

Like to do a 3.5 but you can't. It's anew dawn here at Hampton Beach. Service was ok, I think that the staff is new and has not been doing it a long time she was ery nice and friendly she wasn't great on timing but was on top of things when she did do them. Kind of hard to rate but hoping for the best

Been there before. Returned because we loved it. Was surprised the room was a little dusty, bathroom not as clean as I like. In the restaurant my mother in law had barbecue sauce under her coleslaw, obviously put in a dirty cup.
Some very nice upgrades have been made. The staff always nice.

Had to run to Maine due to a family emergency. On the way back I layed over at my sister-in-law's cottages in Hampton Beach. As there was no food in the cottages, I went right next door to the Ashworth, and ordered a burger to go from Breaker's. Absolutely awesome, great service, server was excellent. Just a great experience. Highly recommended.!!!!!

The room was falling apart, the wall paper peeling off the walls, old food under the bed. Probably never stay here again. The Breakers was great, Bob the bartender is awesome. The hotel staff actually told my wife "be gone with you" while she was waiting for me to park our vehicle. The Ashworth needs to be torn down and rebuilt with modern rooms and amenities. Have pics if you have spot for them.

Over priced. Nice location, rooms were eh and valet is pointless.

What can I say. They should tell you there is a wedding and your room is right above the catering hall. Or better yet give the rooms above the catering hall to the wedding guests. This room appears to be an after thought not layed out very well left over furniture thrown in a room. Never again. And they don't care about calls to the front desk. All they say is sorry sir..

Ashworth is in the perfect location for visiting Hampton Beach. The room is small and is showing some wear and tear. The restaurant is OK, but not great. The beach is very crowded during peak season, and the water is cool. Great beach to splash and people watch. At low tide you can find lots of little crabs scurrying along the beach.

Balcony was disgusting, sticky and gross windows. Crumbs everywhere from kids. No microwave, and i was told I had a ocean front balcony, I did not. And Under staffed for valet

We enjoyed it very much. Kids loved the pool and the location is perfect

Chef Joe is a champ... never a miss here AND they're open year-round!

I go to the beach weekly, always park by the ashworth.

Great location, nice (but small) room, great service.

Swordfish was amazing and the Pina Colada was delicious!

You are paying for the location, not the quality of the hotel. Anywhere else this would be comparable to a motel 6 or holiday in. The walls are paper thin.

Totally let down by customer service and over all condition of my room
