In August 2024, we decided to take a last minute two day stay in Hampton. Joe was very accommodating and set us up with a nice, very clean room. The pool was very clean and the location is perfect with tons of things to do. We will definitely be going back this year. Thank you Joe!
I stayed here during the long memorial weekend. Joe was great even though I arrived after hours. The rooms were clean and modern. He let us park at the motel after we checked out so we could enjoy the beach. The vibe of the place is great. It's very close to the beach and board walk. On the board walk there are candy stores, arcades, restaurants, souvenir shops, fudges shops, ice cream parlors, bars, and much more. You will see a lot of classic cars during the summer.
We had a great stay at the Main Sail! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, boardwalk, shops and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, check-in and check-out was a breeze. The only minor downside was that the parking area was a bit tight, but overall, we were very pleased with our experience. We would definitely recommend the Main Sail to anyone looking for a convenient and cozy place to stay at Hampton Beach!" Look forward to trying their cottages in the future.
For the past 20 years now, every summer my family and I head up to Hampton Beach and stay the week at the Mainsail. There are about thirty of us in the group who rent either a cottage or a hotel room on the property. This past year has been by far the best experience we've had in all the years of booking here! Upon arrival we met Ross and Olga. They were both so friendly, helpful and kind. Olgas handmade candles and bracelets around the office gave it such a nice and cozy touch! We were able to check in right away and to say the least we were absolutely amazed by all of the work they put into our cottage. It was updated, decorated, and extremely clean. Throughout the week we chatted with multiple of our now, "life long family friends" who also stay the same week as us. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about the new manager Ross. Ross took the time to get to know all of his customers and all of the different family's who rent that week. He built a great connection with so many of us in just a short time. What stood out the most to us about Ross was he was working right alongside of his workers everyday - taking out trash, helping clean rooms, checking and cleaning the pool area, etc. All while having a smile on his face. In my eyes that says a lot about a someone in a manager position. Ross made our stay one to remember and we all look forward to seeing him again next year. Book your stay at the Mainsail. You will not be disappointed. :)
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.
We’ve been coming to Seafood Fest at Hampton Beach for 40+ years. Always great accommodations at the Mainsail? Friendly courteous always ready to help with extra towels TP blankets and pillows. Can’t go wrong staying at this establishment.
My Wife and I loved our time at Mainsail motel and cottages. The rooms are very clean. And the staff was Super Friendly. We would definitely come back!
My family of 4 just took our very first solo mini vacation(just the 4 of us)Kids are 14 and 19. We ended up booking pretty last minute with The Mainsail and staying in one of the adorable 3 Bedroom cottages.From the Staff to the Cottage, everything was great during our 4 night stay! Cottage was very clean,AC was perfectly cold,beds were comfortable.The full kitchen was perfect so we didnt have to spend money to eat out every day. We encountered one issue with the fridge/freezer the first night that was addressed and resolved immediately. Ross and the woman at the front desk (Can't remember her name,sorry) were absolutely wonderful and very attentive.We will certainly come back year after year...and maybe again this summer!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
