We stayed for 1 night and it was a great location for exploring Portsmouth. The room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was okay. The bar downstairs was really cool
Nicola, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Eclectic and fun place! Comfy, excellent service and not too far from the waterfront and downtown (3 minute drive or 10ish minute walk). Clean and fun place to stay. We didn’t try the breakfast that was included because we had to leave super early to make our flight and return the rental. I would stay here again.
