The Hotel Portsmouth - Downtown, Portsmouth

Lovely spot in the heart...

Liked: Room was quiet, comfortable, and clean. Bed was very comfy. Location was excellent - easy walk to restaurants & the Music Hall. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast options were varied and good.
Disliked: The tile floor in the sink & bath area was freezing cold! Granted, it was January, and the outside temps were near zero, but brrrrrr!

Please see my notes already

Liked: The breakfast was delicious, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The hotel was a great location so we could leave our car in the lot and walk to restaurants downtown.
Disliked: The decor of the room was interesting and different, but maybe a little too busy with all the lattice on the walls. I prefer a more calming decor in a bedroom. My only real complaint was the shower. There was little water pressure and just a stream of water coming out. Other than that, everything was fine.

Superb

Liked: Enjoyed staff and fellow guests, especially as they were so welcoming to our dog. The bed was very comfortable too.
Disliked: There were elevator issues during our stay.

Inviting boutique hotel convenient to...

Liked: Well maintained, converted Victorian private home with addition. Furnishings eclectic and comfortable. Beds comfortable for us, though our friends found theirs soft. Good continental breakfast. Walking distance from restaurants and shops. Parking in back of hotel which is a bonus in Portsmouth. We were there in March so the sitting room with fireplace was very pleasant. We were only there 2 nights but it would be good for a longer stay as the breakfast room has microwave, small fridge, dishes etc available so that you could eat your own simple meals there. Cozy bar area (limited wine/beer/Cocktails for purchase) with pool table on lower level.
Disliked: More games available in the common areas would be nice.

Exceptional

Definately coming back

Liked: Unique and eclectic decor

We'd go again

Liked: Very nice continental breakfast the goes above and beyond the typical. Walking distance to restaurants and theaters. Cute little sitting room, pool table and bar downstairs, but we didn't have a chance to utilize it.
Disliked: No bureau or drawers in the room, only one luggage rack
