The Atlantic Motel

Beachfront Comfort Just Steps from the Stage

Modern motel charm meets beachside relaxation at The Atlantic Motel, located right on Ocean Boulevard in Hampton, NH. With the sand just across the street and the lively Hampton Beach scene only minutes away, it’s the perfect home base for music lovers visiting the area. This oceanfront gem features a seasonal outdoor pool, kitchenettes in every room, and select rooms with private balconies and ocean views. Whether you're catching a show or soaking up the sun, this motel makes it easy to do both.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and The Atlantic Motel delivers. It's just a 10-minute walk from the Casino Ballroom, one of Hampton Beach’s most iconic concert venues. After the encore, you can stroll back to your room without needing a ride. Rooms are simple but comfy, and the area stays relatively quiet after hours, making it easy to wind down. While check-out is on the earlier side at 10:30 AM, the 3 PM check-in time gives you plenty of time to settle in before showtime.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for affordable, beach-adjacent digs
• Solo travelers heading to a must-see show
• Couples planning a concert-and-coastline weekend
• Fans who want a peaceful recovery space after a loud night
• Budget-conscious music fans who want to stay close to the action

Food and Drink Options

While the motel doesn’t have its own restaurant, each room comes with a kitchenette—perfect for late-night snacks or casual meals. You're also within a short walk of several local eateries and beachside food stands, many of which stay open late during the summer concert season. Breakfast spots are easy to find nearby, so you can refuel after a night of dancing.

Nightlife Options

This location puts you in the heart of Hampton Beach nightlife. From beach bars and casual pubs to live music venues and arcades, there’s plenty to explore after the show. While The Atlantic Motel doesn't have its own bar, you’re never more than a few minutes’ walk from a cold drink or live DJ.

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable location, friendly staff, and clean, simple rooms. The ocean views are a highlight, especially from balcony rooms. Reviewers also appreciate the easy beach access and the convenience of being close to both the beach and nightlife without the steep price tag.

Areas for Improvement

The early 10:30 AM check-out time can be a bit rough after a late night out. Some rooms show signs of age, and since it's a motel, soundproofing is limited—light sleepers might want to pack earplugs. The pool is seasonal, so check if it's open during your stay.

The Bottom Line

If you’re catching a show in Hampton Beach and want a laid-back, affordable stay just steps from the action, The Atlantic Motel checks all the right boxes.
