“This north Portsmouth location proves exceptionally practical, particularly for ferry travelers; a quick overnight is made easy by ample parking and proximity to the terminal. I appreciate the hotel's responsiveness to families, offering spacious rooms suited to larger groups. Though some may find the immediate surroundings limited, the inclusive breakfast and the option to earn rewards for opting out of housekeeping are thoughtful touches.”

surprisingly pleasant stay

quiet roomfriendly staffextended roomunkept plants
i stayed for a few nights because a family member was unwell. ashley, the night manager, was very friendly. she made sure i had a quiet room and offered snacks (which i really appreciated). erin and jack from the staff left a kind note with complimentary wine. they also extended my room on the day i left, so helpful during a difficult time.
the external appearance seemed a bit unkempt. plants needed trimming, and the overall impression was not the best.
Location

the hotel is in proximity to the cruise port. a very nice grocery store is within walking distance of the hotel (which was very practical). it's easy to find your way to this location from the ferry terminal.
Rooms

the room was a lovely size and very clean. there was a comfortable sofa and a table in the room instead of a desk. the walk-in shower was roomy with lots of hot water, perfect after a long day (i especially loved this detail).
