The Martin Hill Inn was a great place for short solo-trip as a young female. It was clean, easy to get into, I felt safe, and the property was vert responsive. Excellent hospitality. My favorite part was they had the "good ice" available for residents & the bathrobes were a great "luxury:" touch. I had to message the property for 1 request via text and they responded within 5 minutes, and happily fulfilled my request. The only feedback I have is that finding the parking lot in the dark was a bit difficult, only because the sign is not well lit and a bit hard to spot. Other than that, great stay! :)

This is a very unusual place! It must have been a home at some point and has been changed to simply bedrooms. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. But there is no lobby, front desk, etc. You simply get a code to get into the building and into your room. It's a little strange but it was fun to try something different.

Interesting set up with keypad code to access main door and room. Handy car park at rear, need instructions to use tv, clean and modern refurbished room and bathroom with hardly any original features in this old building. We stayed in Cathedral room which is up narrow steep staircase, facing the road. Handy location for Portsmouth with the stress of parking removed.

Very cute and convenient!

Stayed in the Sea Witch for a 25th anniversary getaway. It's a very cute space on the second floor with a great reading nook. It was a pleasant walk (~15min) into the downtown area for shopping and dinner. Owner was very responsible and flexible with our plans. Getty Bagels is 50 yards away and a great option to get a coffee and something to eat in the morning. We would definitely come back.
