We love Portsmouth--so walkable, such interesting galleries and restaurants and more. And we always stay at the Hotel Portsmouth. Great location, free parking, great rooms, great breakfast. This time we paid a little extra for the upgrade to a Superior King and felt it was well worth it. Even though we're just two people, the extra room--and two separate seating areas--mattered a lot.

Lovely Americana style. Breakfast was enjoyable, and we spent time playing checkers in the evening. Never did partake of the lounge in the bottom floor but it looked enticing. Very convenient to many restaurants and we walked everywhere,
