★★★☆☆ 3.0 Amanda Jane · Aug 2025

Room was fine. Service was okay. Keurig in front office doesn't work without Keurig brand k-cups and they didn't have any. Also the cleaner came into our room while we were still there (before check out time) because they thought we left. Wasn't a fan of that. Also it was clear someone came into the room while we were gone one day because they replenished towels but they didn't make the beds or do anything else. It was alright for a few nights. Cheapest in the area so no real complaints but I would pay a little extra for a better experience next time. Depends on your preference.

I've stayed at the Krystal Penguin numerous times. My last stay was in the summer of 2017 when I wanted a day at the beach. Charlestown has some lovely beaches, particularly the State Park. The motel was perfectly adequate for my needs. No, it's no fancy, but the price is incredibly reasonable in the summer months. The owners are most kind and helpful . I love the "Penguin," as I fondly call it. My room was on the small side, but clean and comfortable. Added perk is a small refrigerator and good internet connection. Maybe a microwave, can't remember. I noticed someone mentioned a lack of coffee. For the motel rates, I found it easy to drive down the road and grab a cup of coffee. Very happy with my stay here!! I hope to return.

I stayed there for 3 nights in July of 2024. It was perfect for me because all I wanted at that time was something basic. Everything about my experience there was perfect. I loved the location on a slight hill off the roadway with a food shack across the street. I’m looking forward to revisiting! I literally was in love with the experience. Words can’t fully explain, but if you’re looking for something simple, this is definitely the place!

Great location for the amazing local beaches. Very reasonable price, especially compared to other local hotels/motels. Tv, microwave, and refrigerator in the room was nice. AC worked well. Was clean and had all necessary towels. Wouldn't stay there for an extended period but for a couple of nights it worked great. My wife thought the room had an odor is the reason for 4 stars not 5.

The room smelled very musty. The bed sheets were stained. Only 1 roll of toilet paper provided. |On a positive note, the beds were comfortable. we did have AC, frig and microwave. Woman running the office was very sweet.
