    Brianna M.

    I don't usually review when I've had a bad experience but this place takes the cake. If I could rate zero stars I would. Here goes: We were in Hampton recently to see a concert midweek, it was also my birthday. We decided last minute to book another day so we'd have some more time at the beach as we never really get time off together. (This was our 1st vacation in 3 years.) Upon checking in, the man in the office said this wouldn't be an issue and that we had the same room. Well it was an issue....more on that later. Running water was also an issue, apparently they don't think it's a service they need to provide to guests. Had a great day at the beach and came back to the room to shower and head out for a late lunch. No running water. None. My boyfriend went down to the office (different employee now) and the woman was extremely rude to him. Didn't offer up another room, or apologize, or say when it would be back on. We're pretty laid back people and said screw it we'll go out anyway. Came back after lunch to find almost all of our things gone from the room, and some of the items were in the caddy of one of the 3 cleaners....who refused to leave and were laughing that we were so upset, and not speaking English or explaining why they had done what they'd done. We go down to the office to sort everything out. (Again were pretty laid back and didn't go in guns a blazing or anything like that.) Mind you this is way past checkout time so again, wth is going on? The woman was yelling and completely unprofessional and threatened to call the police to which I said please call and get them down here so I could recover my stolen property. That shut her right up. I explained that it was my birthday and this was a pretty unreasonable situation. No discount, no apology, still no running water but they let us stay. The room is what you pay for at rock bottom high season pricing. Disgusting. The staff here is insane. Stay away!

    Old bathroom shower head and old tiling in bedroom

    This is not what was depicted or expected from the $$$ price we paid. Bedrooms are outdated and unclean with paint peeling off the walls. The bedding is dirty and stained and pillows are without pillow cases. The floor was unswept and we all had to wear shoes in the house during our stay to avoid black feet. The fridge did not work and when we called to ask someone to help fix the problem they said there was no problem even though the fridge was 70 degrees. In the front room there is a shower head and bath tiles as if that used to be a bathroom that they decided to put a bed in front of. One of the doors does not lock from the outside and the door has to be lifted up to lock at all. Although the location is great and we are so close to the beach and boardwalk, this is not what we expected from the pictures posted on their website or the description of the house. The staff is not helpful nor friendly. The fridge not working was mansplained to us when it was very obvious that it was not working. The cleaning staff was constantly on their phones and when we arrived nothing was cleaned and we had to call the owner to send them again. This is not what we were expecting at all from the price you see the nice reviews but here is mine first hand. This is not a place I would EVER stay at again. DO NOT COME HERE

    Stains on the lounging chair. No one wanted to sit in this chair or the couch.

    This is a terrific little motel, and I would definitely stay here again. The staff is very friendly…read moreand very helpful. (Hi Luka!) I arrived early, and since my room was ready, I was allowed to check in early, The pool was very clean, as clean as I have ever seen any pool. The water temperature was just right. It's a good-size pool, not huge, but just great for a leisurely swim. The rooms are very clean and very spacious. There is plenty of storage. The coffee maker was simple enough to operate. TIP: you need both remotes in order to use the TV. The front desk will help you. It's a block from the beach, which is perfect. It's close enough to walk to where the action is, and far enough so that it's nice and quiet at night. The rates are reasonable, and I would not hesitate to stay here again. I recommend SURF HOUSE without hesitation. A+

    BUYER BEWARE-READ BEFORE BOOKING and learn from our experience:…read moreI'm not gonna sit here and write to not stay at this motel - the room itself was just as advertised, clean, roomy and comfortable, updated bathroom (shower wasn't cleaned well, but that's minor in comparison to the rest of our experience) BUT- do not expect to have any assistance after their lobby closes. They advertise an "after hours number" they DO NOT answer. We stayed here for one night and went out on the strip until around 10pm and when we returned we realized we forgot our key in the room. We went to the front desk which was locked and dark. To preface this I completely understand it's on us for forgetting a key. But, no answer on any of the 3 phone lines provided and one was specifically for "guests only, after hours" after a couple hours, MANY calls and voicemails later, we decided to call the non emergent police line which we were told they were unable to help without permission from the owner - they also tried calling the number they had with no answer either and we were advised to either sleep in our car or book another hotel. We called all 4 businesses they have shown on their building assuming they're owned by the same people, no one was able to help there either. We ended up able to unlock our vehicle from our phone and sleep in it (we had no actual keys as they were locked in the room too) we continued to call the after hours line throughout the night and into the morning but we ended up locked out of our room from 10:30pm to 8am when the front desk opened. The front desk manager (I'm blanking on her name) was lovely, super friendly and apologetic but explained someone else named "dalton" was responsible for the after hours phone and clearly completely neglected to answer. She refunded the cost of our room which was great and gave us a couple gift cards to local restaurants ($35 worth), but really it didn't take away the fact that we had the worst experience in a hotel ever, we would've much preferred to just be able to sleep in the room. Again, decent motel, absolutely awful customer service, if you stay please triple check you have your keys when leaving/you have everything you need before they close.

We are sitting outside the room and left the door open to air it out and the smell is coming outside the room. It is awful. Its fine other than that. We can't switch rooms because they are booked.

Must have been a drug party going on by the last occupant? The bed was made when I checked in, but how can housekeeping miss the drugs in the bedside table AND inside the bathroom?? Also, the dark, woodgrain laminate floor was disgustingly DIRTY! My guess is they just sweep only, and hardly if ever, actually wash the floor. I asked the front office if they could do a quick wash of the floor, but they never showed up. Don't make the mistake of walking barefoot on the floor with wet feet, and if you are wearing socks, the bottom of them will turn black quickly. The cold water knob in the shower was frozen shut, and it couldn't turn, only leaving the hot water knob usable, making the shower unusable onless you like scalding water. I asked the front desk if someone could look at it, but nobody showed up. Also, don't try sitting in their cheap plastic patio chairs outside the room, unless you have good health insurance. I really want to like this place, but find it difficult at the present time. 8/23/25

Well, I fail to comprehend what was renovated: the electrical outlets wouldn't hold my charger (it literally fell right out of the outlet), everything was old and outdated, the lock to our room was loose, bathroom racks were rusted, cigarette burns on the tub, etc.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Ships Inn was serious enough that other…read moretravelers should be aware. During our stay, we discovered what appeared to be teeth wrapped in a blood-stained tissue left in our room by a previous guest. It was hidden near the window and had clearly been missed during housekeeping. We immediately notified hotel staff, who removed the item. The hotel later acknowledged in writing that the item had been left by the previous occupants and that it was overlooked because a new housekeeping employee in training had cleaned the room. While I appreciate that they accepted responsibility, they never answered our repeated question about what the material actually was. To this day, we still do not know whether it was human teeth, animal remains, or something else. Given its appearance and the presence of what looked like blood, we remain concerned about whether we were exposed to a biological hazard. Equally disappointing was the hotel's response. Their only compensation offer was a "buy one night, get one free" future stay. In other words, to receive compensation, we would have to spend more money at a hotel where we experienced a significant sanitation issue. After what happened, we have no interest in returning. We attempted to resolve the matter privately through multiple emails, asking for an explanation of what was found and requesting a more appropriate resolution. Unfortunately, after their initial response, the hotel stopped communicating with us. Mistakes can happen in any business. What matters is how they are handled. In this case, we were left without answers about a potential health concern and without what we believe was an appropriate effort to make things right. I hope the hotel has improved its inspection and housekeeping procedures so that no future guest has a similar experience.
