  • Located in nearby New Castle, NH, this restored 19th Century grand hotel is one of the nicest places I've stayed anywhere. The guest rooms are stunning as are all of its public spaces. The building is right on the water, allowing for great views from just about any room. The bar and restaurant serve wonderful food. I especially love the breakfasts.

    The hotel has a very nice spa where guests can get all types of treatments. Swimming pools are available both indoors and outdoors. The hotel also has a nice gym.

    I don't have a photo right now, so be sure to check out the Web site so you can get a look at it!

  • As far as Courtyards go this one is pretty nice. It actually has a restaurant and bar, which many of them don't. It has lots of free parking and is only about a mile from the downtown. It is also close to the highway. The beds here are very comfortable and there is free coffee available in the lobby.

    When EmilieNoelle was planning this meeting she warned us the Portsmouth lodging could be on the expensive side, even the Motel 6 exceeded $80 per night. Since I was going to be picking up a car, this hotel made a lot of sense to me, inexpensive for the area, free parking and not that far from town (2.7 miles according to their website), it took about 10 minutes by car. That is when we weren't driving around lost!

    It's cheaper to book on the internet and weekday rates are cheaper than weekend.

    The room was clean and comfortable, very basic. No toiletries besides soap, no hair dryer in the room although I understand you could get one from the front desk. The bedspreads are rather garish, a bright electric blue with the Motel 6 logo worked into it.

    There is an outdoor swimming pool but it was already closed for the season. There are vending machines in the lobby and on each floor but if you need to get sodas and snacks there is also a Shaw's grocery store about a minute away by car. Free coffee in the lobby.

    One of our group managed to get a room with a refrigerator and microwave for an extra $3 per night but not all rooms have it so ask in advance if it's important to you.

    When Hans and I were looking for a place to stay for the Portsmouth VT Meet, I asked Emily where most VT'ers were staying and she said MOTEL 6, so we went on the internet and booked our room for the weekend.
    It was a great location and rooms were just recently renovated. Our room had a fridge and microwave ( pays to have connections hehe!). And as it was on the first floor not far from the Lobby our room became the "Meeting Room".

    Hampton Inn Portsmouth, N.H.: Pretty Nice    Check Rates

  • The Hampton Inn in Portsmouth is a pretty nice place to stay, and in a good location off of the highway. It's not all that close to the downtown so you'll want a car if you stay there, although they do have a free shuttle bus that runs guests back and forth to local destinations until ten PM daily. The beds were pretty comfortable and our room had a refrigerator and a microwave which was nice. I also liked the nice toiletries that they gave you in the bathroom. The only complaint I can think of is that the climate control wasn't the best; it seemed I was always too hot or too cold. It would have been better if we could have opened the window. The hotel is also fairly expensive for what you get, though most hotels in the area are on the pricey side.

    The hotel has a pool and a gym, although I used neither. They also offer a pretty descent free breakfast which I was very happy to see when I woke up starving one morning. The coffee wasn't too bad either.

    Motel 6 Portsmouth, Nh: Super Basic, But Clean    Check Rates

  • The Motel 6 is the least expensive place to stay in Portsmouth, which is a pretty spendy city when it comes to hotels. They offer very basic, but clean rooms. You won't get any extras here like shampoo or hairdryers, and the towels were itty bitty, but really it's not so bad if you're not planning to spend a lot of time in your room. If you're a wrinkle freak (like Ms. Jen) you should also keep in mind that they don't have ironing boards or irons.

    One thing they could really improve on is their staff. While they were always polite, they did have a habit of engaging in a lot of unprofessional behavior while working, things such as talking about guests while standing behind the front desk and making customers wait for service while they took cigarette breaks out front.

    The Motel 6 has an outdoor pool, but it was closed for the season when we were there.

    Accommodations in Portsmouth are expensive, and there don't seem to be any mid-range places to stay. It's either the Motel 6 at $82 per night, or a B&B or luxury hotel for $230 and up.

    I chose the Motel 6 mainly because so many VTers at the Portsmouth meeting were staying there. I didn't have high expectations because Motel 6s in my part of the country have a bad reputation as cheap hangouts for junkies, but I was hoping that the local junkies couldn't afford the elevated room rate. :)

    This property was surprisingly nice. There were no frills, of course -- no hair dryer or little shampoo bottles -- but everything was very clean and new.

    The only things I didn't like about the place: 1) the location, several miles outside of downtown Portsmouth (I didn't have a car), and 2) the fact that there are still rooms where smoking is allowed (something I'm not used to in California). Although I was assigned to a non-smoking wing and my room was smoke-free, I could smell cigarette smoke when I walked through the hallways, and that bothered me.

    On the whole, however, I had a very nice stay there and would consider returning -- next time with a rental car.

    I have a lot of frequent stay hotel points with Marriott Hotels, so, if I am staying over night I stay at the Courtyard by Marriott. If you are looking for a stay that is less, well, corporate…check out some of the bed & breakfast houses or local inns in downtown Portsmouth...

    It's about a mile from historic downtown Portsmouth which is actually not too convenient if you want to walk everywhere and be close to your hotel. But if you don't mind driving the mile to town, the Courtyard by Marriott is not a bad choice. By the way, Portsmouth is not an overly crowded place, so parking spaces on readily available and parking garages are cheap compared to other places in New England.

    We payed ca $130 + for one night with continental breakfast.

    You have a choice of Deluxe Suites, Cottages & Studios
    Romantic Jacuzzi Suites
    Here is a list of romantic escapes =-)
    * Harley Room
    * White Mountain Hunting Lodge
    * Tropical Suite
    * Southwestern
    * Ralph Lauren Room
    * French Country
    * Isle of Shoels
    * Papa Hemingway
    And our favorite : THE THOMAS KINKADE , here we entered into the world of Thomas Kincade while we stayed in this lovely English Cottage Suite. We slept in a beautiful four poster queen size brass bed, faux painted walls, Thomas Kincade Gallery, and relaxed in the two person Jaccuzi tub . There is a refrigerator, coffee maker and other little surprises, like a Teddy-bear on the bed. Non-stop violine music and nature sounds melted our thoughts into a dream-world. It was beautiful.

  • I often stay at marriot and have enjoyed their hotels completely- until this one.

    The courtyard was kind of equivalent to days inn or motel 6. nothing is wrong with such an accomodation, until you pay $199 a night for it. For that price I should get what I expect from Marriot- a step above bidget accomodations.
