We were very pleased with our stay at the hotel. The rooms were unique and spotless. The staff was friendly and readily available to answer any questions. The breakfast offered a good variety of foods, including healthy options and sweet treats to satisfy everyone. We would highly recommend this hotel, and if we travel to Portsmouth again, it will be our first choice.

Scott

The manager was rude and unfriendly. The accommodation was fair at best. The room did not smell good and the shower had mold. No luxury here so do not expect it. The breakfast was fair but not replenished. The bathroom vanity is so small and two people cannot stand next to each other. The bed was comfortable and the location good. We would not return to this hotel for any reason but the town is enchanting and we were so lucky to have a white Christmas.

A wonderful option in portsmouth. Great central location, free parking, you can walk everywhere. Charming property, more like a large Inn than a hotel. Has some character, staff were exceptional, nice to have good coffee available at all times, breakfast and water. Lots of areas (inside and out) to hang out. I would recommend this property
