Quality Inn & Suites Olde Town

Relaxed Comfort Steps from Downtown Portsmouth's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets historic charm at the Quality Inn & Suites Olde Town, located right in the heart of Portsmouth's Olde Towne Historic District. Just off Interstate 264, this laid-back hotel is less than a mile from local music venues and surrounded by walkable attractions. With cozy rooms, free perks, and a welcoming vibe, it's a great base for your next concert night.

Rooms come equipped with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffee makers, while suites offer full kitchens and whirlpool tubs for that extra post-show unwind. Enjoy free high-speed Wi-Fi, a hot breakfast each morning, and a seasonal outdoor pool to soak up some downtime before heading out again.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just minutes from Harbor Center Pavilion and other top music venues, meaning less time commuting and more time enjoying the show. The neighborhood is quiet enough for a good night’s rest, but close enough to bars and restaurants to keep the night going. With a 3 PM check-in and 11 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to suit most event schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable, central base
• Solo travelers catching a big-name artist in town
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space in a historic district
• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up each morning with a free hot breakfast – think waffles, eggs, and fresh fruit – perfect after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you're within walking distance of charming cafes, casual eats, and classic diners. Grab free coffee in the lobby any time, and store snacks in your in-room fridge for post-show cravings.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is low-key, you’re just blocks from downtown Portsmouth’s local pubs, bars, and lounges. Nearby, enjoy waterfront drinks at Portside or catch a movie at the historic Commodore Theater. Plus, Norfolk’s vibrant nightlife is just across the river.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and unbeatable location for both sightseeing and events. Reviews often highlight the great value and easy walkability to downtown hotspots. Many also appreciate the free breakfast and the convenience of in-room amenities like microwaves and coffee makers.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the hotel is slightly dated in decor and that the seasonal pool isn’t always open. Noise from hallway traffic can be noticeable at times, but earplugs or a good playlist solve that quickly.
