Perfect weekend stay
Beautifully decorated hotel. Comfy rooms. Great breakfast in the morning to get you on your way. Stayed in one of the bottom rooms, spacious and perfect if you bring your furry friend. However you can hear everything happening on the floors above. Request a higher level room or bring ear plugs to sleep if you are a light sleeper. By the way…Loved the speakeasy on the bottom floor!

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

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.

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!

Lovely hotel. If you wanted a morning cup of coffee you had to leave room. I like coffee in my room when I wake up. Not convenient. Plus, I hated the bathroom. It was tiny & sink wasn’t in the same room with toilet & shower. Just
