Hotels.com Keep Away!!!!

It would of been fantastic if you idiots booked a first floor room like we asked for instead I spent alot of my time in my room due to the fact that I have hip issues and couldn’t climb stairs!!! Will not book through you again!! Hotels.com is the worse place to book rooms!!! If you don’t know what the hell You are doing!! Perhaps call the hotel directly!! Mainstay is a fantastic place to stay! But I will book directly from them!!!

Our room was located on the 3rd floor with the most rickety, dangerous staircase ever. Room smelled terrible. Lots of sketchy people that seemed to live there.

Nice little get away

I would recommend the Mainsail it is a cute little motel. Very clean and employees were very accommodating. Well-kept 1 block right off main strip of Hampton Beach. We would definitely stay again. We stayed in the Motel rooms side but they have cottages as well. Nice pool area.

First time staying here. Nice clean property with very attentive staff. Did not like the inconvenience of the air conditioner in our room #43. It's manual and located over a counter where the sink is located. You have to step on a chair to reach and read the operation buttons. There's also a need to tidy up the pool deck area. Lots of clutter where the pool maintenance equipment is located. Both days we were at the pool in the middle of the day. The pool cleaner and its electrical cord were in the middle of the pool deck walkway. Loved to see that there was always someone cleaning windows, outdoor chairs and railings etc. Will definitely stay here again.

Great stay. Clean and nice. They have a lot of cleaning staff, so I would remove checkout requirements for guests. Also, having drinking glasses (not coffee cups) would be an added bonus. Overall, good time and we would return.
