This was a very convenient place to stay while visiting Portsmouth. There was some traffic noise, which is to be expected in a city, but not enough to be annoying or interrupt sleeping. The hotel was clean and well kept, the staff were all friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Everything was very good. Clean, quiet, and neat. Free continental breakfast was good. Not a ton of options but enough to get to lunch and they were very attentive to restocking items and cleaning up at breakfast time. Not all places offer a free breakfast so it was a nice offering. Would def stay again if in the area.
