Our room was very comfortable though a bit "tired". It could have certainly used an update especially the carpet. The complimentary breakfast included many options but it seemed like the staff had difficulty keeping up with demand. (ie. had to request more silverware and coffee)

Quick overnight stay at Hotel Portsmouth. Staff was extremely responsive via text message during our stay. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. Rooms were dark decor but probably this is keeping with colonial period theme decor. Breakfast in morning was nice with fresh fruit - yogurt - oatmeal and pastries. Very walkable to downtown area.

Loved our stay

Absolutely loved this place. It’s like the perfect cross between B&B and hotel. The staff was delightful. We really enjoyed the speakeasy in the basement (hi Jim!). We met so many fellow travelers there. The location is perfect. Portsmouth is a great town, totally walkable, very safe and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend staying here

The property is eclectic. Great spaces for gathering (several living rooms, patio areas, and a basement bar w pool table and bar), easy onsite parking and service oriented staff. Decent basic breakfast and afternoon sugar cookies. The property is tired, however. It needs a full refit and upgrade to be back to it’s former glory.

Not what it used to be...

It had been a while since we last stayed at The Hotel Portsmouth and we were disappointed in the way it seems to have gone downhill over the years. It was still under the management of the original owners when we first stayed. The attention to detail, the personal touches really made this place unique and we were so impressed with the style of the room, the delicious breakfast and the way with which the owners took such pride in the building. Since then, the place has been taken over by a larger hotel group, and its clear that not as much care goes into making the customer experience a special one. Our second floor room was fine, if not in need of a little sprucing up. The carpet, paint and furnishings were on the shabby side. There was a portable air conditioner, which worked fine but took up a significant amount of space in an already small room. The windows were in desperate need of washing. There is no in-room coffee, which was totally fine, but the downstairs/lobby coffee situation was not. At 8am, the staff was still getting basics out for service, and when we did finally get some coffee, it was lukewarm. We opted out of the included breakfast after the not-so-great coffee experience, heading elsewhere to eat. When we came back to check out, the door to our room was open, which was disconcerting (nothing was missing, but maybe they thought we had left already?). All in all, it was okay, but I think we will probably keep our options open next time we’re in town
