Cute and stylish hotel
The hotel lobby is really cute. Rooms were stylish and comfortable. Staff was friendly and very helpful. I liked getting updates and having text access for questions. We really enjoyed our short visit in this hotel. Also, Portsmouth was a really cute city, walkable and with tons of shops and restaurants nearby. Very happy with our stay.

My husband and I came for our honeymoon and greatly enjoyed our visit. The one thing that would really improve the rooms is if they had mini fridges. We had a cooler and tried to keep everything on ice but having a fridge would be so helpful.
