"Room was great with a full kitchen!"

Residence Inn by Marriott Portsmouth Downtown/ Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"We love the Residence Inn, and have been staying here for years. Unfortunately, the big parking lot next to the hotel is being redeveloped. You have to use valet parking now, and the price for parking went up from $30 to $45 a night. Some of the ease with which you could arrive and stay here is lost. Obviously, there is also a big construction site in front of your window. Let‘s see how this turns out in the next two years."
