Room was super cute. MCM decor. Very clean. The staff was really friendly. The breakfast was very lacking. Hardly anything to choose from. No hot foods. No pancake or waffle options. But if you aren’t interested in a full breakfast spread, the stay is quite comfortable!

Simple, but very clean and comfortable. Given the high prices of lodging in Portsmouth, this affordable property is a great option! I only wish they had an elliptical machine in their fitness room.

Can’t say enough about this hotel. Great place to spend the night. Convenient to highways. Very clean, comfortable bed, modern nostalgia with a nod to the original Howard Johnson. The gentleman who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. And be sure and try the diner across the street.

This hotel offers the bare minimum. The rooms are dated, dark to hide the dirt and with no amenities. They don’t have rollaway beds if you are traveling with children. They don’t have extra pillows if you need them. The air conditioning can malfunction. It was just very poor for the price of over $200 a night in an area that has nothing to offer.
