Hampton Inn & Suites Portsmouth Downtown
You always know what you get at a Hampton. Good service, clean room and who doesn’t like a free breakfast? Dan, the front desk person helped with a tv remote issue and went out of his way to find a replacement quickly. Well done. Excellent location as well.

The Hotel Portsmouth
I think it’s a nice hotel but mainly for seniors and it’s kinda overpriced for the city and location.
