Top South End Hotel Reviews

Terrace by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is clean and lovely. My only suggestion would be to add boiled eggs to the breakfast for protein. The fresh fruit and yogurt were great! Staff was helpful and friendly."

Mainsail Inn & Cottages

4/10 Poor

"I was not impressed with my stay here. The booking check-in and check-out times are extremely inconsistent. There is 1 person in the office from 9am-2pm (check in-hours) and then no one is on the premise after. They will leave the key in the room for you if coming after hours which was helpful, but I would have booked elsewhere if this was made more prominently aware on the Expedia site. The beds were so uncomfortable, worse than a Motel 6. They do give lots of pillows and towels but the bed is made up of sheets and a top cover made of thin polyester...there isn't a blanket at all. The floors in our room and bathroom were not swept or cleaned and covered in hair and sand. There was some kind of bloody booger wiped on the bathroom door frame. There was no toilet paper in our room and because no one was on the premises we had to go and buy some right when we got in. The doors to the rooms are sliding glass doors with one key. There are no additional locks beyond this or ways to keep the door locked and secure which if you're traveling alone might make you uncomfortable. When I checked-out the person was on their phone with their feet propped up on the counter. This is not a $200 a night hotel and I don't understand the overly positive reviews for this overpriced property."

Ogunquit Tides Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second time staying at this property. We love the location and reasonable rates. A quick walk to the water and Lobster Pound is 2 doors down. This is a great home base if you like to be able to walk around. There is not much need to drive with so much in walking distance. We definitely stay here a 3rd time when we come back to the area. Also, they offer a quick and simply continental breakfast; coffee, tea, juice and yogurts, cereal, breads and pastries."

The Crest - Hampton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Arrived about 30 minutes before check in and our rooms were ready which was a welcome surprise. We had 3 rooms total and he was able to put us on the same floor within a few rooms of each other which was awesome and so convenient. Rooms were updated but with some old school touches as well and super clean. Plenty of parking and the price to stay was so reasonable. Would definitely return!"
