Our stay was great this hotel was so charming. Only problem is we kept hearing a door slamming right under our room all night long. I think the restaurant or kitchen was under us and it was bothersome to listen to that door slamming.

Cute and stylish hotel
The hotel lobby is really cute. Rooms were stylish and comfortable. Staff was friendly and very helpful. I liked getting updates and having text access for questions. We really enjoyed our short visit in this hotel. Also, Portsmouth was a really cute city, walkable and with tons of shops and restaurants nearby. Very happy with our stay.

My husband and I came for our honeymoon and greatly enjoyed our visit. The one thing that would really improve the rooms is if they had mini fridges. We had a cooler and tried to keep everything on ice but having a fridge would be so helpful.

Great Hotel!
Absolutely wonderful stay! Great location, we were able to walk everywhere. The staff was kind and helpful. We also relied heavily on the ‘locals list’ on the hotels website and it did not disappoint!
