The Spotlight on Anchorage Inn and Suites

Relaxed Comfort Just Minutes from Portsmouth's Music & Nightlife

Modern yet unfussy, the Anchorage Inn and Suites is a dependable base for concert-goers headed to shows in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Located just off Woodbury Avenue, this casual hotel offers easy access to downtown venues, shopping, and late-night dining. With free WiFi and in-room microwaves and refrigerators, it’s a solid pick for travelers who want comfort without the fuss.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is just a short drive—under 10 minutes—from downtown Portsmouth, where many of the area’s best music venues are located. It offers free parking, making it easy to head out for the night without worrying about city logistics. Rooms are on the quieter side, perfect for decompressing after a loud gig. Plus, a 4:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before the show, and 11:00 AM checkout means you can sleep in a little the next day.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for an affordable, convenient home base
Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
Couples making a fun weekend out of a concert night
Fans who want a quiet place to wind down post-show
Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, each room comes with a microwave and fridge—great for leftovers or late-night snacks. You're also minutes from downtown Portsmouth’s lively food scene, with plenty of diners, pubs, and fast-casual spots open late. Breakfast is available on-site, ideal for those slow-moving post-concert mornings.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is quiet, you’re a quick ride away from Portsmouth’s buzzing nightlife. From cozy pubs with local brews to live music spots and cocktail lounges, there's no shortage of post-show hangouts nearby. The location makes it easy to grab a nightcap or catch a second act after the main event.

What People Say

Guests love the location for how close it is to downtown without the higher downtown hotel prices. Many reviewers mention the clean rooms and friendly staff, as well as the convenience of the in-room amenities like refrigerators and microwaves. It’s often praised as a great value for the price.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor could use an update, and the hallways may feel dated. While the free breakfast is appreciated, it’s simple—don’t expect a gourmet spread. Still, for the price and location, most feel it hits the mark.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a budget-friendly, quiet place to crash after a show, Anchorage Inn and Suites is a smart, well-located choice.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

I won't be staying there...

Liked: I was in the area for a conference and booked this because of its easy access off highway. It is a convenient location, and I felt it is in a safe location. There were also places to eat nearby for dinner. I booked a Standard Room that had a refrigerator, small coffee maker, and microwave. (I didn't use the microwave or coffee maker, but the refrigerator worked well). TV worked well too.
Disliked: When I went into the room, it appeared a little well-worn, but the room and bathroom looked clean, and the AC worked well. I didn't have any issues. HOWEVER, when I got up to use the bathroom at 3:00 and turned on the lights--there were four insects skittering across the floor that looked like cockroaches. I spent the rest of the night awake with the lights on in the bathroom and bedroom. Since the front desk is closed 11 pm-7 am, I couldn't call to request another room. I told the front desk person about the issue when I checked out. I almost felt bad for him as he didn't say much and just put his head down. Clearly, he didn't know what to say. I left to go to my conference an hour early just to leave and was tired the whole day. Later I got a standard email from them thanking me for staying there. I emailed back and said was further upset that I didn't get at least some sort of acknowledgement of my complaint and that they were working on rectifying it or something. Then I could say something positive like they were being responsive to this problem--but I can't say that because there was no response. Maybe this was a "one off" experience at this hotel--but I won't be staying there again.

I need a refund

Disliked: I did not end up staying. This place did not look or feel like your company promoted. I walked in and walked right out. Not safe for single woman to stay
