Port Inn and Suites Portsmouth, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and surprisingly large. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Breakfast was simple, there were no changes during our stay, but there was enough that we felt satisfied. The laundry facilities were clean and always available. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, so close to downtown and some great restaurants. I would absolutely boom there again."
