Historic Charm, Modern Convenience

Great spot walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants of downtown Portsmouth! Room was larger than anticipated and very comfortable, with a separate sitting area. Parking in the lot and the surrounding area is easy. The only detractor would be thin walls (to be expected with the age of the home). We neither saw nor heard from any staff, but nor did we require any assistance. Would certainly consider staying here again!

Very nice place, beautiful room. Only negative was the heat at night. Radiator not working, very chilly. Contact said there was a blue tooth sensor, but we never got above 64 on our thermometer.

No communication between Inn and Hotels.com.

Becareful when booking a room at Martin Hill Inn through Hotels.com. Hotels.com gave an option to put a deposit down but the Inn doesn't except that, they take the full payment, so I canceled the reservation thinking I made a mistake. I rebooked and it happened again. I called the Inn and it took them awhile to get back to me. I was told because they were on vacation. So who takes care of the Inn. I booked a room with a soaker tub and when I arrived there was no soaker tub, was told by the Inn there was a new onwner and took out all tubs. There was a snow storm over the weekend and the grounds of the Inn was poorly taken care of. Had to tromp through snow and walk on ice.

It was good but the check in information wasn’t sent (apparently some third party issues they have) and it took me a few attempts to reach them on the phone number, not an issue in the end but advise if you don’t receive a code then call before you turn up
