The Spotlight on Coachman Inn

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from the Music

Coachman Inn is a cozy, no-frills motel located right off Route 1 in Kittery, Maine — just a short 10-minute drive from the vibrant Portsmouth, New Hampshire music scene. With classic motel vibes and convenient amenities like free Wi-Fi and free parking, it's a solid base for concert-goers looking to keep things simple and affordable.

Each air-conditioned room is clean and functional, offering cable TV, a desk, and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. Some rooms even feature a relaxing spa tub — a nice touch after a night of dancing or standing in the crowd.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is king here: you're less than 15 minutes from downtown Portsmouth and the area's key venues. After a late night, you’ll appreciate the motel's quiet, tucked-away setting just outside the hustle. The 24-hour front desk makes check-in easy — even if your show runs late — and the free on-site parking is a bonus for road-tripping fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly home base before and after a show
  • Solo travelers chasing bucket-list gigs in Portsmouth
  • Couples wanting a chill, affordable weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quieter space to recover post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While Coachman Inn doesn’t have its own restaurant, it’s right next to local dining options — and just a short drive to downtown Portsmouth's lively food scene. There’s no room service, but plenty of nearby spots stay open late for a post-show bite. Breakfast isn't offered on-site, so plan for a coffee run in the morning.

Nightlife Options

You're just minutes from downtown Portsmouth, where you’ll find bars, lounges, and live music nearly every night. Coachman Inn itself is quiet, making it a great place to unwind after the show. For craft cocktails and local brews, the Kittery-Portsmouth area delivers.

What People Say

Guests love the location near shopping and downtown Portsmouth, and often mention the motel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and value for money. The quiet atmosphere is another big plus for concert-goers who want to rest up after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

This is a classic roadside motel, so don’t expect luxury or modern decor. Some guests note that the furnishings feel dated, and there’s no breakfast or on-site dining. But for the price, most find it a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Portsmouth and want a budget-friendly, quiet place to crash nearby, Coachman Inn is a smart and simple choice.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Lynn Wed, 23 July 2025

The price and location were...

Liked: The location was great! It was near the shopping center and within 30 mins of a few top beaches.
Disliked: It was dirty! We had to change ALL three beds as soon as we got there because they were filthy; covered with hair, dirt and one sheet had stains of make up, whole blankets were stained in general. We lost ALL of our food because the mini fridge didn’t keep cold, they eventually brought another fridge down the following morning.

Fair - 2.5 out of 5

Kathleen Mon, 14 July 2025

The price was too high...

Liked: It was pretty quiet except for a parked car with the radio blasting outside for 30 minutes with the window rolled down playing hip hop noise. I had to phone the front desk who immediately came out and told him to stop.
Disliked: Breakfast was pretty bleak. There were sausages I heard, but when we got there they were gone. The coffee was Folgers...not good. The second morning, we didn't bother eating there. There was cereal and toast and yogurt, but it wasn't very satisfying.
