A little gem in a great location

Lovely facility in a great location. Close to everything, just leave the car in the onsite parking lot and walk downtown to explore the shops and many eateries. A perfect little place to relax and unwind.

The property is super cool and funky and definitely one of a kind. There also is a great breakfast, included. The two drawbacks are that the air conditioning is not sufficient for a very hot day so don't check into this hotel on a hot day or days. Secondly, the television system is very strange. You have to bring all of your passwords with you because all they have are streaming services and no regular channels available at all. So basically the TV is not functional unless you bring your sign in and your passwords for whatever streaming services you have. That is the first time I've ever encountered that, and that should change immediately. They need to at least have some basic local channels so you can check out news or weather on the TV if you want to and maybe a couple of other non-streaming channels.

My room was too noisy and bright. The window shade did not go down all the way or block morning light. The A/C was super loud if I wanted to maintain a good sleeping temperature. The room was tastefully decorated as was the whole property. A beautiful and convenient place to stay, just not the best sleep I've had while traveling.

One night stay

We only had one night at this beautiful property and wish we had stayed longer. The hotel is out of this world for its comfort and amenities and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Great “high end” continental breakfast too! Highly recommend staying here if you’re ever in Portsmouth!

The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. I was underwhelmed with the customer service at this price point. Between email communication and interactions during our stay, it did not feel very friendly. The hotel itself is 10/10 but I don’t know that I would pay to stay here again.
