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.

If you are thinking it’s a hotel don’t let the name fool you. It seems more like a bed and breakfast. Very charming.

Quirky not elegant.

Odd, quirky, but not top tier. At half the cost I would have overlooked no room service after it was requested. Poor sad breakfast. Odd room and poor quality linens. But I have to say I’m sure there were better options in Portsmouth.

We enjoyed our stay! Checking in was a little lengthy because your given a key versus a key card. Our key didn’t work and we had to get another key to another room. Other than that, it was a nice peaceful stay. The complimentary breakfast was nice. Everything is in walking distance so we didn’t spend too much time at the hotel but overall it was nice!

disappointed.

The bed in our room was horrible, very low to the ground with a ridiculously wide platform surrounding the bed. Asked for room service numerous times on day two and never received it. The staff was courteous and helpful, but I can’t say that I would recommend the hotel Portsmouth to friends.

Super cute with a overall American Feel. We enjoyed the free parking and the decor and the rooms were extremely comfortable. The only thing missing for a longer stay was the lack of a frig. But we will be back.
