Would not recommend
Pros:

Room looked good online. Got there and it looked like a crack hotel. First room was disguising and not secure. Would not let my dog stay there. Upgrades to a jacuzzi sweet. Not much better very disappointing. They need a housekeeping service that actually cleans. Yuk! Convenient but a dump.

Cons:

Dirty, outdated. Shady at best. Definitely would never stay again.

Accomodations were subpar, you are paying for proximity to the beach.
Pros:

We booked here because of the proximity to the Hampton Beach Casino. We liked being able to walk there and to the beach.

Cons:

Having spent over $600 for one night for the two bedroom apartment, we did not appreciate having to pay an extra $20 to leave our car in the parking lot for a couple of more hours to go to the beach. The beds were very soft and uncomfortable, the bathroom fixtures were old and stained. There was a kitchen with fixtures that were old and rusty, I would never have used them. You are paying for a location here and that it is it - do not expect anymore than that.

Awful
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We had no hot water throughout our stay.
Mold build up in the doors.
Toaster was broken wouldn't shut off caused a minor fire and smoke alarms to go off. Bathroom tub still has soap from prior stay. Fridge froze all our food even at 6 and had to throw most of it away. Pool was unable to be used due to not being cleaned.

Terrible place
Pros:

There was nothing to like about this place. At least there was parking. The pool looked ok but it was surrounded by buildings so not sunny. We didn't use it

Cons:

The 2 bedroom space we rented was filthy. The sliding door glass that was the entrance looked like it hadn't been cleaned all summer. Filty grime all over it. The blinds were broken. The curtain rods hanging crooked. Mold in the shower. There was a hole in the wall where an outlet or switch should have been with wires capped off inside. TV hanging crooked with wires coming out the back hanging down in disarray. The pillows stunk like stale sweat. The couch was so dirty we brought our beach chairs in to sit on. There was a water leak under the sink. The bathroom outlet sparked when I unplugged my curling iron. Don't stay here. It is a disgusting ripoff.
