It is a wonderful place for singles or families. The rooms are cute, tiny but with all the things you need. The owners and staff are really nice people. Just a block or so from the beach on the non-busy end. Close to food and the casino.I’m definitely going again. There is a wonderful porch outside of the rooms with tables and chairs for your family. Good sunsets.

Was an overnight after a concert at the Ballroom. Perfect for this. Very nice porch area outside all the rooms to hang with friends. Fairly easy walk to venue (less than mile) with plenty places for food along way. Would recommend highly.

Check-in was fast and easy but there wasn't much parking. It was a 90°day and the ac wasn't on and it took a long time to cool down the small room. The room was cute and small but did the job and the area was close to all the things.

Cost was high but then it was a weekend and Hampton Beach 35th Seafood Festival was happening. Prior to making reservations, I looked for reservations for room with king size bed, this was the lowest price. Room was quaint with everything one needs. Room and outside area very clean. The bedding smelled clean and was the bed was very comfortable. I really liked that there was outside chairs and picnic table— it added space to the small room.

I really hate to do this, but I would have appreciated knowing this. This place was a dive! No space, extremely outdated, no heat in ridiculously small bathroom that had hair all over the floor. The water didn’t drain in sink and it had a repulsive amount of air freshener sprayed to cover up something. This might have been the worst stay of my life! Got up early to head home to shower in a clean bathroom! I highly recommend staying elsewhere!

Check in was quick and easy. No frills property, room was clean, except for shower was stained and moldy. We did not use shower. We found bed to be very uncomforable so much hat we checked out a day early. Staff was very pleasant. There is no maid service. Motel was close to everything, within walking distance to most everything. We would stay there again if it was not for the bed

We decided to stay at this motel after seeing good reviews on Expedia. After checking into the room, we are horrified by the conditions of the room. It’s tiny and in bad conditions. The door to the bathroom open barely one foot because it’s blocked the edge of the bed. An average size person will not be able to enter the bathroom. The shower either gives you cold water and very hot water. Nothing in-between.

We had a great stay at the Blue Jay Motel. There is a new owner, Terry, who was super friendly and is renovating the property. It was great for the value, very affordable and great location, easy walk to beach. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly and accommodating and checked our needs during the visit. You can tell they care about your visit. Would stay again. Also great deck and sitting area to hang at outside the 2nd floor rooms.

We stayed just for a night to see a concert. It was a perfect 1 night in or even would be great for a couple days. If we stayed longer than 2 days I would have upgraded to a bigger room. But this was perfect for what we needed. Close to everything. Great price for the location. The staff was great.
