Top Portsmouth Hotel Reviews

Anchorage Inn & Suites - Portsmouth

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel being renovated. About 20% of rooms available. Our room had been renovated- the bed was very comfortable and room and bathroom were very clean."

Port Inn and Suites Portsmouth, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was a nice size; however, the bathroom was very small and the doors to open & close were challenging at times."

Treadwell Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful historic hotel in a fantastic location. The rooms are spacious, clean, and new. We had a full kitchen suite and a very large bathroom. The setup is atypical in that there is no staff onsite. This really is not a problem so long as you know not to expect a traditional hotel staff. My only complaint is that the technology used for checking in remotely is not good. I had to attempt checking multiple times and the way check in information is communicated is not streamlined. This is a minor grievance considering the bang for your buck you get in staying at the Treadwell. There is room for improvement for the check in process. Regardless of this, I highly recommend staying here over other hotels."
