The Hotel Portsmouth
Had a couple hiccup’s our first night but the staff was amazingly accommodating and we had a great stay! Breakfast each morning was really enjoyable with many options for a light breakfast and fresh coffee. Overall a very nice place to stay when in Portsmouth with cozy areas by the fireplace to relax ...

The Bow Hotel
The room was clean, the check-in was easy, and the overall accommodations were nice. What would make it even better is if the bed was not quite so soft.
