Verified reviews of Ashworth by The Sea
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently: "Peaceful Escape in a Lovely Hotel by the Beach"
Overall score4.0/ 5
I had a wonderful stay at Ashworth by The Sea. The location is absolutely perfect, I loved being right across the street from the beach and so close to many nearby attractions. I also loved that the hotel offers complementary coffee and tea. They even offer flavored syrup options. Mattie was especially helpful when I needed some bandages and accidentally spilled ice water all over my towels. It's a lovely place to stay.

Overall score1.0/ 5
Situated directly across the street from beautiful Hampton Beach and just steps to the famed boardwalk, Ashworth by the Sea's location is top notch. However, if you're planning a visit to this New England summer jewel, definitely find another place from which to enjoy your respite. From the brash guest services manager to the gruff, unprofessional valet, the services were substandard if not outright deplorable. While not perhaps part of the hotel, the connected restaurant, Breakers, provided the same level of experience. Seated at 5:45 for dinner, our order was finally served at 7:40 after multiple tables had been seated, ate and departed while we waited. Beyond service were the unfortunate accommodations themselves. It did not take a black light (nor would I suggest you use one here for fear of adding your own vomit to the already unhygienic conditions) to see the rooms were not up to even pre Covid cleanliness standards. The bathtub was full of dirt and grime. Hair that did not match any of us clogged and protruded from the sink drain. It was obvious by the amount of dirt under the room's furniture that a cursory attempt at best was made in cleaning the floor. And best of all, some type of dried glob (not going to guess at this one) adorned the television remote. It is a rare thing where such a perfect location can't make up for shabby conditions. And if these were merely shabby, Ashworth by the Sea's location certainly would. But conditions are well beyond that. Let my experience be a warning if not a guide and avoid suffering a stay here at any cost.

Overall score1.0/ 5
Stayed for a birthday weekend I don't think I've had a worse hotel experience. This place is a dump I mean DUMP. From the dirty, stained carpets, to the chipping paint and sketchy front entrance, it only gets worse. Had to ask for replacement room because the initial room we received was filthy dirt, food, bugs on floor; hairs throughout bathroom; toilet detached from wall and rusty; unwashed soap dish; smeared mirrors. Second, replacement room a little better but in need of upgrades. Rusty fixtures and mold on ceiling and around faucet. View from balcony offered a sliver of beach. The majority of the view was looking directly into the dated swimming pool and its dilapidated roof with trash strewn all around. We could hear guests on both sides of us and every time someone flushed, it was as loud as if in our own space. I had to ask for more towels which I had to collect; no housekeeping service (no surprise). Parking is an additional fee per day. I could not wait to get out of there. When checking out, the guests in front of us were asking for a refund. There are many poor reviews on line beware the five star reviews. I bet they are fake to offset the negative feedback. Sent my comments to management and still waiting to hear from them. BEWARE this place is horrible.

hotel dated, room extremely small, pool cold and dated, checked in was given key and not explained that we were in the old part of the hotel, so we went up the elevator to the 3rd floor and our room # was not there, came down and then the check in desk person said that we were in the old part and had to now wheel our luggage cart thru the dining area over to another elevator to that 3rd floor. communication was missing. Toilet and shower pressure was gone, shower curtin torn and hanging.

Overall score2.0/ 5
I'm trying to figure out what all the hype is about. Rooms are in need of a facelift, they are old and most outlet don't work. Valet parking employees are overwhelmed and always in a hurry. Not sure why valet parking is needed. There are more fees then Carter has liver pills. I gave it a two out of five because the food is really good! This was my 1st stay and my last!

Overall score1.0/ 5
Small room was not in good condition. Toilet handle and stopper in sink did not work properly. The lack of easy access to the pool from our room caused us to not use it. Front desk staff was dismissive when we asked questions. We quickly realized what we paid for was location. We will not return to this hotel again.

Overall score2.0/ 5
Myself,son,granddaughter and three year old great grandaughter stayed one night. We were not impressed. The carpet in our room was so dirty that we didn't walk around the room without shoes on and my GG daughter was not allowed to sit on the floor. The pool was not inviting looking at all, the towels didn't even fit around the GG daughter never mind an adult! Would not eat at the hotel. Will not stay again!!
