Hilton Garden Inn Portsmouth Downtown
Staff was great, room and building clean. Only problem was the shower, very low water pressure, like a flower watering can.

The Hotel Portsmouth
Really enjoyed the location. Easy to walk everywhere I wanted to around downtown Portsmouth. Also, my room was just what I needed for a few days away from it all. Definitely going back. The common rooms look inviting for a winter's getaway.

Homewood Suites By Hilton Portsmouth Downtown
My only surprise was that parking was not included, it was an additional $45 which I thought was high for the price I paid for the room. The only other complaint is the room was much more than I needed, included a full kitchen and all I needed was a room with a bed.
