"Staff was courteous, breakfast was hot and good, bed was comfortable, and it was nice sitting with a book by the fireplace in the small lobby..an unexpected homey touch"
Residence Inn by Marriott Portsmouth Downtown/ Waterfront
10/10 Excellent
"The breakfast had all kinds of goodies. Oatmeal, with several toppings to choose from. The hot menu seems to change from day to day. We were there for a week, had eggs & bacon one day, then sausage patties and links the next. They surprised me on day 4 by having spinach quiche! Cereals, juice, breads, ect. also available. Coffee, tea, & hot cocoa 24/7. Our suite had everything we needed. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat. Bathroom has FULL SIZE shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! Heated indoor pool! Oh, and what really made us book here: Dog friendly!!
I really have no complaints about our stay BUT the parking situation. $45/day valet, meters, or parking garage? Booo! But I'll still stay here again!"
"Highly recommend the staff was so friendly and room was tidy and clean every day. Hot coffee in the morning was good and fresh and strong. Morning sun rise with the ocean was a bonus every day. Shower was strong and hot. Unusual for a motel. "
