The Crest - Hampton Beach

10/10 Excellent
"These guys have absolutely nailed the concept of "cheap& cheerful". They're taken an old beach hotel from the 1950s, stripped it to the bones, and redone it with vibrant colors, a glam kitchen with fullsize fridge, gas cooktop & microwave ( tho oddly no plates, utensils or pots& pans) & New furniture thats,well thought out & comfy. Best of all it's a 5 min walk to the beach & the room we stayed in was huge. The town is touristy & loud but our room was blissfully quiet."
