Market Square Inn

Market Square Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We had such a wonderful stay at Market Square Inn for our girls’ trip! The location could not have been better,?right in the heart of downtown Portsmouth and within walking distance of the waterfront, Prescott Park, Strawbery Banke, and so many great restaurants, cafés, and shops. The place was very clean, comfortable and exactly what we needed. Check-in was incredibly easy and seamless, which made our arrival stress-free. We loved being able to walk everywhere without needing to drive. We would absolutely stay here again and will definitely book this on our next trip to Portsmouth!"

8/10 Good
"Good location, no human around, only a text message connection to answer questions. It did state it was a “contactless “check in. Room was large and bathroom very spacious. The room would benefit from a deep clean as there was some staining on chairs and carpets. Although listed as an historic property there was not much information about the house to read and no human to share the history etc."
