Check in was not a welcoming experience. We were not told that our room was in tower 2. We took the elevator to tower 1 which is directly across from the front desk. We were on 7 of 9-day vacation. We had lots of luggage and were tired. The attitude of the front desk staff did not set a good tone for the stay. The hotel room is SMALL. I cannot imagine staying for an extended stay with such a small room. We ate on site since there was no way that I would ask for access to my car to go outside the property. The waitress was nice. Check out was much better. The valet was nice and helpful.

Now I remember why... Ashworth by the Sea is an adequate hotel. The views are stunning when one has a balcony room overlooking the ocean and the rooms are nice. The issue that my family has with it is that Ashworth charges a premium price for the area, charging for valet parking in the off season, additional mandatory charge for their spa facilities when they seem to have just minimalistic facilities, while provided below average service for their guests. It wasn't an awful experience, just that there are plenty of other places that offer better values in this area.

It was very clean & would stay again. I would however like them to put wash clothes in the bathroom though.

First on impression is that the place is a little bit weather worn. Awnings have holes. Front desk was disjointed and did not give any information as to any of the services. The laminate floor in our room had not been mopped for weeks. After walking around our feet were black. Had to wear our socks. There were two TVs but the one in the bedroom did not have a remote control so could not be operating. No information in the room regarding services for the hotel or connecting restaurant. Location is great! Service was kind but just not informative. Parking should be included in the stay price.

My grandmother had a cottage around the corner and would tell us on summer trips that the “rich” people stay here. So we booked to relive memories. First room was tiny (164?) and the second (155) ocean front was better. Hotel had to replace the tv completely and the bed might be a king but felt small. Amenities ok. Hotel restaurants just ok. Nice service all around, but truthfully I would not book here again.

Many years ago, my grandmother who lived around the corner, said “this is where the rich people stay…” well, not so much now. The staff is lovely and the view with ocean view is nice. But truly it’s time to renovate completely. Small rooms and tiny balconies it just feels like 1970. As does most of Hampton Beach. It was my summer child home so I’ve seen the change.

I didn't realize there would be a "resort fee" plus a parking fee. At the end of September! Those things added $45.00 a night to my bill. Ugh. Wish I had gone to a chain hotel.

I have stayed at the Ashworth many times over the years. I booked my visit through Hotels.com. Upon check I was told very snarky by the female front desk clerk that I would have to pay additional 140 dollars for parking and resorts fees. She said if you had booked this directly with them I could have avoided all those charges, see was very short and rude. Not a Great Experience for a return customer for years. I won’t be staying there again.

I’ll start off by mentioning that I’m a Front Desk Manager at a campground and I have worked at hotels before in different departments. As soon as we walked in to check-in we could tell the property was having a staffing problem that night and Jerry was the only one working the front desk with a concert down the road that night so you know the hotel was packed. Jerry was incredible and professional the entire time we interacted with him from check in to leaving for the concert and even when we came back after the show and expected him to be off duty. Kudos to Jerry! We didn’t interact much with other staff members since we left the next day but we were satisfied with the service we received! Thanks for a fun stay!

The room was clean & average but there was a foul smell in the room that we couldn’t identify. It’s a great location but a $25/nite Valet Parking fee is automatically charged to the bill. Most upsetting was that the cafe & restaurant in the hotel were closed for 2 days for due to staffing problems! Other restaurants were closed for the season & only 2 restaurants were available. It would have been nice to have been notified prior to checkin!

This was my second stay at Ashworth, the last time about 15 years ago. I honestly think it was in better condition than the last time. They have obviously done some updating. From the service to the room, the valet so you don’t have to worry about parking ($25/night), to the walk ability to the boardwalk and all the action, everything was ideal. My only recommendation for improvement is that we stayed in a side unit which had a view of the ocean from our small balcony but just below us was the rooftop of the kitchen that was less than appealing. Maybe some sort of cover over that to give a slightly better view/atmosphere. Overall great experience, would definitely stay again.

The property was very close to shopping and the Seafood fest. across the Street from the beach. Very nice place to stay. Breakfast was disappointing but everything else was great. Strongly recommend.

Spacious double Queen with balcony and sea view. Staff super nice and friendly, especially housekeeper. Very convenient location in front of the beach. Garage (valet) and resort fees are a bit expensive.
