The bed was so cozy and comfortable! Snacks and coffee were available in the lobby 24/7. Walkable to the downtown area. We loved The Sailmaker and will stay here if we visit Portsmouth again!

We loved staying here and will come again for sure. The location was great for walking into town for shopping and dining but also was right next to Strawberry Banke Museum andPrescott Park which are also wonderful places just to walk. Portsmouth is a lovely place.

This is a one-of-a-kind Pension style hotel. The room accommodations are excellent, especially given the 17th Century venue. Today's staffing challenges means no in-house staff, no all-guest amenities, and extensive use of Cell Phones for all transactions. Once you understand and accept that, the rest is easy. The property is within walking distance of a range of restaurants & night spots. There is nice boutique shopping within a few blocks. Other local attractions are within a few minutes by car. If your destination is Downtown Portsmouth, NH, this would be a fine choice.
