We stayed here on our way to Maine. The hotel is conveniently located and easy to find being near the traffic circle. However, it is not up to even the modest Holiday Inn standard. The rooms are a bit worn and tired. The hotel is noisy. The service is poor and haphazard. The restaurant is substandard. Our chief complaint, though, was we could not get away from TV sets, even in the elevator. We woudl turn them off, only to have staff turn them back on. We would lower the sound only to have staff turn it back up. Very Irritating.

Glad we only spent one night at this hotel as we were in town for an event. The hotel is located near the traffic circle and was convenient for us but may not be if you're looking for a place in walking distance of Portsmouth center.
The room was fairly clean but the fitted bed sheet was so wrinkled, it looked like someone had slept on it and the sheets hadn't been changed for the next guest. The pillows were small and lumpy. Overall, not a comfortable bed.
The bathroom was small and the wall of the shower/bathtub had not been cleaned in ages. There was a lot of soap scum build-up on it. What was worse was the fact that we had no warm water. It got to lukewarm at best.
We didn't eat at the hotel, but there is a diner next door that serves breakfast which was okay.

The room was fine. Had 2 queen beds, nice pillows, staff was polite, easy check-in. Very easy to find, it is right off the interstate, in the Portsmouth circle. Easy on and off access.

Maybe we take it for granted in other hotels, but ONE elevator when you're assigned the top floor is very inconvenient. Waiting, waiting, waiting, in the lobby. This was honestly enough to ruin the overall experience.

The rooms were nice though.... Once I finally got into mine. The keys didn't work the first time. So I had to go back to the ONE elevator and wait wait wait for it to come back up. Only to get new keys and waaaaaaiiitttttt for the elevator back up.
