Overall, the hotel and stay was great. We got there early and were able to check in early with no additional costs, which made our stay so much easier and better. The room was very clean. Front desk employees were nice, especially the gentleman who let us check in much earlier! There are many restaurants and places around the hotel to grab a bite to eat. We had the standard double queen room which came with fridge and microwave. It was nice and quiet. Comfortable beds. There is a pool and...

Felt the need to leave a review after some of the negative ones I read. This is a no frills hotel, in which the carpet and other things are a bit outdated. It was cheap, very clean, the bed was comfortable, and what led to me booking it was the indoor pool and mini fridge and microwave in each room. I’ve stayed worse places in Maine for more money and was overall happy with the stay. The staff aren’t overly friendly but not rude. It’s in a good location and parking was easy. Will stay here again...

Cute little spot that is just across the bridge from the fun part of Portsmouth. Unfortunately the weather wasn't nice for us, but if it was, you could certainly walk there. The room was well designed and my wife really appreciated how comfy the bed was.

Such a great way to stay on New Castle Island - the studio (#5 with a view of the water) is very charming, well appointed, and super clean. Walkable to the beach and right next door to Henry’s Market, which as delicious breakfast and lunch items and friendly service. Highly recommend for a relaxing weekend or longer.

This is a beautiful old house, with real antiques everywhere. There are many details such as all day coffee and other hot drinks, complimentary sherry, and chocolates. The breakfast is substantial and the garden is lovely. All around a very nice place within 10 minute walk to center of town.
