We enjoyed our stay! Checking in was a little lengthy because your given a key versus a key card. Our key didn’t work and we had to get another key to another room. Other than that, it was a nice peaceful stay. The complimentary breakfast was nice. Everything is in walking distance so we didn’t spend too much time at the hotel but overall it was nice!

disappointed.

The bed in our room was horrible, very low to the ground with a ridiculously wide platform surrounding the bed. Asked for room service numerous times on day two and never received it. The staff was courteous and helpful, but I can’t say that I would recommend the hotel Portsmouth to friends.

Super cute with a overall American Feel. We enjoyed the free parking and the decor and the rooms were extremely comfortable. The only thing missing for a longer stay was the lack of a frig. But we will be back.

The breakfast room was a kitchen with a fantastic spread on the island with comfy chairs and tables around it. We felt like we were in someone’s home. There are multiple sitting areas and we spent time reading and enjoying homemade cookies and tea in front of the fireplace in the evening. The staff were all friendly, and the room was very comfortable. The restaurant area is a walking distance away, and so is the Strawbery Banke Museum. The weather didn’t cooperate with us but thanks to the hotel we had a great time in Portsmouth.

By March 2025, we had been going to the Hotel Portsmouth once a month since March or April, 2022. It was quaint and affordable and the staff was always kind and welcoming. After the renovations in 2024, there was a distinct decrease in service as almost all the original staff (at least the ones with whom we interacted) left or were replaced. Too many times we stood at reception waiting for someone to answer the phone and come check us in. (The elevator never worked well; that didn't change although the new staff thought it was a new problem soon to be repaired. We always took the stairs.) The breakfast room is now overcrowded with rather uncomfortable although attractive chairs and tables and the breakfast always seems to run out (it never did before the renovation). The beds are too soft for us now (might be good for others). The bathrooms were not renovated and there always seemed to be something slightly broken (dripping shower, one button of two on toilet, etc.) The reason, however, that March was our last visit although we continue to go to Portsmouth once a month is because twice in the last six months I had issues with being overcharged (three times if we count the two extra charges in March), and this last time, I could not get reimbursed the difference between what I agreed to on Expedia, and what the property charged. It wasn’t a large sum - but that is not the point. I would suggest always paying in advance in order to not have to deal with an unresponsive staff.
