This is a remote staff and remote entry facility. Our room was quite small, but others are larger. The price is a bit high for a place with very little amenities. Excellent location in Portsmouth! Fantastic live theater in the basement of the building.

Liked: Cleanliness
The price was a little high, especially for the size of the room and lack of amenities, and we had to pay extra for parking. The bed was just a mattress on slats, and was therefore rather uncomfortable, although there were plenty of pillows. The valve in the shower wasn't working well, so most of the water went straight down the drain rather than through the showerhead. Cannot beat the convenience of the location, however, as we were there for a show at Seacoast Rep. It was also within very easy walking distance of our dinner reservation.

Everything was so lovely! This incredible human being helped us and was so accommodating! I really hope her name is Amy? She has ethereal stormy blue eyes! The point being — she was incredibly kind and helpful and made our experience in Portsmouth one that will most certainly not be our last! She has gained you a loyal guest!
