“I've never had a problem here.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

I've stayed here many times and thought I'd respond since I have seen some of the poor reviews. I've never had a problem here. Yes, it's a Motel 6, it's inexpensive, so you aren't going to get the amenities of some of the more expensive hotels. It can be challenging to navigate if you aren't from the area or don't know the area - last I knew you can't take a left hand turn out of the hotel (to get to Spaulding Turnpike or head toward I95), so you have to make a u-turn at the first set of lights or drive into the mall parking to turn around. There is another motel on site that seems to use the same driveway, so be careful backing out of your parking space, it's tight as it is and people speed through the driveway, so just be careful! Parking seems a bit tight for the size of the hotel, but I don't know the room to parking space ratio. It's your basic affordable Motel 6, which is a brand I often use when traveling due to it's affordability. Convenient to beaches, Kittery Outlets, has a mall across the street Foxrun (indoor mall) & Crossings at Foxrun (outdoor/plaza type mall), movie theater, and plenty of various restaurants btn the two malls and in the local communities. As far as noise, yes, it can be noisy, but so can any hotel, it all depends on your fellow travelers and if they are considerate enough to think about their fellow travelers and quiet hours. For my family we try to be quiet 9/10pm to 9/10am and whisper in the hallways and not let doors slam. EVERY hotel I've ever been in has its considerate guests and its not so considerate guests and unfortunately it tends to be the inconsiderate ones who you remember and base your reviews on.

“Great Deal; clean hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2011

person found this review helpful

I was quite surprised at how bright and clean this hotel was. Even the location was fine. I would have thought there would be quite a bit of traffic noise being right next to the highway but we slept with our window open and it was quiet. The room was clean; the halls were clean and the bathroom was spotless. The hotel had no frills; no free breakfast; no free internet/WiFi. But for the price, it was WELL worth it! We will be staying there again!

“Decent value - best of the three Motel 6's I have stayed at”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011

We're on a budget and the bare bones don't bother me so long as the place is clean. I've stayed at the Motel 6 in Bangor (very scary, felt unsafe, won't go back unless desperate) and at the Motel 6 in Leominster, MA (older and a bit dated but decent). The rooms seemed quite modern in the Portsmouth location including a large corner tub/shower unit. My only complaint is the lack of hot water in the bathroom sink and the internet connection was very slow despite having to pay for it. I'd stay again should the need arise. I love the location near great shopping and eating!

“quite expensive for the quality”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

The motel was extremely well located for shopping and dining. All stores, the mall and many restaurants were with in walking distance to the motel. When we arrived the desk clerk was very busy, doing several things at once. She did very well with it, and was very polite and friendly even though it was easy to see she was frazzled. The room was very small, two beds jammed into a bedroom much to small for two beds. But the room was clean. The bathroom was a good size and also clean. The comforters on the beds are horrible at all motel 6's. They should definately think about switching them up! I didn't like that I had to pay to use the wireless internet at the motel. And the television did not have a lot of channels. There was not coffee maker, fridge or microwave. Check out was at 12 which is a little later than most motels.
