The staff at the Kentville were friendly. Our room was very small for family of four, but we were thankful the a/c was working because it was very hot. It's a tough climb to the third floor, but the view is pretty. I wish we had a room closer to the front of the building. And the balcony isn't private.

The house itself looks beautiful from the outside, but the rooms need some updating.
The rugs need to be replaced , the rooms could be better cleaned, the fan in the bathroom was full of dust, the chair in our room was full of stains as well as the bedcover.The whole inside could use a face-lift, I will not return

I really should not write this as this place is the gem at Hampton Beach. It is sort of undiscovered, but I will say it is a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the Beach. By the way, a Hampton Beach Vacation is just like you remember from the 60's..... Enjoy

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING A ROOM !!! There is NO better location on this beach than the Kentville Hotel. Right across from the beach and great views from almost anywhere. Yes prices seem high, but considering the qulaity other area hotels (The ashworth by the sea) are offering at twice the price; this hotel is a STEAL!! Great views, ...

Although I thought the staff was very friendly and accomodating, I wouldn't go back.

I made a last minute booking, and a double room with side sea view was quoted as $149 ++. Well, for $149, even during peak season, I expect the room to be immactulately clean, and functioning.

Modern decor and 300 thread count sheets I would like, but ...

I grew up spending my summers at Hampton Beach and my mother worked at the Kentville many, many years ago. It has been our pleasure to re-discover the Kentville, over the past couple of years, and we are comforted knowing that there is at least one place on this beautiful beach that you can get away from the nastiness that has taken over so much ...

Some of the rooms need a bit of updating.
We did end up renting the last room they
had so of course was not as great.
But the people that work there are wonderful & friendly.

wonderfully located, with old style service and conversation in the lobby. lots of board games for relaxing afternoon on the porch. Thanx Kentville.

We travel up to Hampton Beach almost every year, and for the last several years we have stayed at the Kentville. We just returned from another trip and were very satisfied with our stay. The staff is friendly and helpful. The lobby is welcoming. The rooms are fine. We have graduated to the more expensive rooms, and they are better, but the cheaper rooms are adequate for an inexpensive, basic stay at the beach.
