Great stay at The Hotel Portsmouth. Our room was beautiful and the staff were friendly and helpful. Free off street parking, as well as included breakfast. Location is great for exploring Portsmouth and is walkable to the whole downtown area. Would recommend staying here if you are visiting the area.

Wonderful old hotel - comforting and comfortable, but maybe in need of some freshening up? Management graciously changed my room after the door to my original room took two adults to open. Also, I don’t want to have press all the buttons in case the elevator won’t go. I just want it to go. The breakfast was extraordinary- like a continental breakfast and a committed foodie had a baby. I could not count, let alone eat all of the delicious offerings. The room into which I was moved would have cost a lot more than what I paid for a small, single room,. The new room was lovely - big claw tub and all. But it was on the third floor, it was a bit musty, and not worth the $$$$ usual price for a future stay. The hotel’s convenient location to all the shops, museums, and restaurants of downtown Portsmouth is the greatest factor that makes it a hotel I recommend.

The room was very dusty and someone else’s trash was in the trash can on our arrival. Other than the housekeeping issues, we loved the hotel. Breakfast was very nice. We would come back again to stay.
