“Nice motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Port Inn is really just a fancy-looking motel with a two story facade making it look much grander than it really is. But it's fine -- either new or newly renovated, with a pretty nice level of finish. I stayed in one of two small suites above the reception area, but most of the rooms open directly into the parking area. Breakfast was OK, with better than expected coffee, and I appreciated that it started at 6. No place to sit there, so it becomes a picnic back in the room.

Worst part is that it's quite close to Route 95, and a bit of highway noise was always perceptible. It's also in a bit of a wasteland, nothing is in easy walking distance. But I plan to stay there again.

“Great little place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

This was a great little place. The location is perfect for visiting old town Portsmouth and could not be more convenient to access all travel routes including Hwy 1 and the I-95 corridor points north and south. I read great reviews before choosing this little motor Inn and they were all true. Very clean, updated tasteful decor more like small B&B, helpful staff, and the price can not be beat. We spent 2 weeks at some of the best Inns and B&B's in New England and we could not get over this little place for the price, and convenient location. We ended up staying an additional night because it was less than 1 hour from Boston for our return flight home, and although we had to change rooms they were very accommodating as they were booked near capacity that 2nd night. A very pleasant ending to a great New England adventure.

Room Tip: Rooms in back were a bit newer and further from the road. Although road noise was not noticed up fr...

“Everything you Need”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

Clean room, free wireless in the room, flat screen tv, free continental breakfast, convenient location and a very friendly, very helpful staff including Skip, Carol and Matt. Booked 90 minutes prior to arrival and went right into the room at a super price. Really, why stay anywhere else? Great value all around.

“Very nice motel but quite a distance from the city center”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

It is a very well kept up motel with relatively updated furnishings. Very comfortable bed, nice flat screeen TV clean bathrooms, and a small kitchen area. The morning breakfast was ok...nothing great. My only real complaint is the distance from the downtown area. It is a 5 to 10 minute drive and downtown is where the historic district is located, the restaurants, and shopping. Driving to town at least 2 times a day and paying for parking was a hassle.

“Awesome small hotel - clean and comfy!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Excellent small boutique hotel-- so clean I felt it was almost too good to be true; just amazingly clean and cozy although rooms a little small. It's just off a main roadway also, but very quiet, so I can easily say this is an excellent choice for the budget conscious traveller. I highly recommend!!
