“This hotel is clean, there is an icemaker machine in 3rd floor. Service is good, but the breakfast area is too small and it would be better to have a small refrigrator in room.”

• The staff was super friendly and nice.
• You had to have a car to access the hotel. It's not convenient to get into downtown Portsmouth, and the cabs are super expensive.

“The hotel staff was absolutely wonderful. Its painfully obvious that they are understaffed and overworked which is a function of the hotel industry. My major concern is that there's no public transportation for those without cars.”

• Tasteful decor with the (exception of the rug in the hotel room).
• Didn't like separation of sink from rest of bathroom. Bathroom fixtures should be together in one room.

“Helpful staff, plenty of parking, easy to find, comfortable beds - but not a place I would consider romantic in any sense, nor within the range of quality of a higher - end B&B or upscale hotel. Good, basic services, reliable.”

“Our stay at this hotel could not have been much better. It was the perfect start to a wonderful vacation. At check in, the clerk made it a point to place us in a room, that had both a microwave and a refrigerator, since we were there 5 days. We were treated as well as someone who was charged "top-dollar!".”

• Chairs in breakfast area so big you couldn't move around.

“The room next door was very loud and it was after midnight. We called down to the front desk and let it ring at least 20 times, no answer. Finally my husband went downstairs only to find the desk clerk on a personal phone call ignoring her duties to the guests. Other than that we had a pleasant stay. The location is nowhere near the beach.”
