Great location for shopping and restaurants. Nautical theme of the hotel is very fitting for the location. We were given a corner room and the views were beautiful. Would definitely choose this hotel again next time we visit Portsmouth.

The downtown central location was perfect. Easy walking to everything - restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping and parks and museums.
Hotel felt a little aged, though, but comfortable, clean and offered a nice gym and pool.
