Don't Think Twice About Staying Here!!

I would stay at and recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Portsmouth. It was charming, comfortable in every way, fantastic location, and the best amenities. I got the best night of sleep on our vacation here!!

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.

Great location in Portsmouth with lots of things to do within walking distance. Staff was extremely helpful and prepared a nice breakfast on site.

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. Staff friendly and knowledgable. Breakfast was a little eclectic and enjoyable. Room was clean and available for checkin at the stated time. Love the private parking behind the hotel.

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.
Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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
