Loved it. Rooftop bar was great. Staff, property and room were all great. Lots of building construction nearby so walking around is a little dicey. Plenty of Ubers around though. Valet parking is a nice touch too.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely, clean hotel, conveniently located to all of downtown Portsmouth. Enjoyed drinks on the roof. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Weird complaint: HATED the coffee machines in the room. Everything else is so thoughtful and deliberate, a weird offbrand machine that filters boiling water through single use plastic was just ick.

6/10 Good

The hotel, room, and restaurant were impeccable. The hotel is gorgeous, and the restaurant is amazing. The staff was not top-notch; our room was not ready upon our arrival, and they said they would text us when it was ready, but they never did. We were given a credit for the inconvenience, but no one told the morning staff, which created some conflict. Just annoying. Also, not noted is that there is significant construction surrounding the property, so the views in the pictures are not real. Each side is blocked by enormous condos being built. Currently, they begin working at 7 am, very loudly.
