"My wife and I headed to Portsmouth NH for a last minute getaway. Met by a very friendly and professional receptionist. Our room wasn't ready so he upgraded us to a suite. We headed out for the day. The valet was very helpful with recommendations. The next morning breakfast was adequate and we headed home. Very nice stay. "
"The location, room, and staff were all wonderful. I would definitely stay again. It’s downtown and convenient to shopping and restaurants. Highly recommend!"
