The Bow Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Right in the heart of all the action. Clean rooms"

Hampton Inn & Suites Portsmouth Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Overall this property was perfect for our 5 day stay. It’s well located and close to all things in Portsmouth. It’s operated quite efficiently with front desk staff and valet staff all being very kind and professional. It’s our 3rd stay at this property and we’ll be here again. Parking was a snap and the breakfast was all that a person could ask for."

Hotel Thaxter

10/10 Excellent

"We have been coming to Portsmouth for a long weekend for each of the last few years and we love to stay at Hotel Thaxter. Staff is always super friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and inviting. Rooms are really nice. Location can't be beat. Highly recommend."

Market Square Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a find! Perfect accommodations for our party of 5. Just a quick overnight before between a Maine vacation and flight out of Logan. Obviously brand new renovation, everything you could need is here! Step out into Market Square and everything you need is right there. Be aware you are on a busy street so be prepared for some city sounds, but it didn't stop us from having a great night's sleep in comfy beds. Plenty of linens, blankets, and towels - plus fully outfitted kitchen and bath. Exceptional!! Street parking was easy right outside the front door, and there was a parking garage around the corner for longer stays."
