Hampton Inn & Suites Portsmouth Downtown
Breakfast was not good. Room was clean. Dan (reception) was great! Horrbily loud people outside our room from about 11:30 pm until almost 1:00 am. Peeped out and saw they were all dressed up and obviously part of a big wedding party.

Hotels in Downtown
Portsmouth is a city that has a lot going on, but you have your sights set on Downtown. This part of town is perfect for what you want to be doing, and that is everything that is not on everyone’s radar. For all that Downtown has going on, you’ll still need a place to crash, eventually. But you don’t want any old shack, you need something that fits the trip. We have a slew of Downtown hotels that will do the trick.
A beautiful day in the neighborhood
As much as you like getting out there, it’s also good to know a part of Portsmouth so well you’ll be telling the tourists where to go. Make friends with the concierge or be bold and chat up a local. It’s your trip, so choose your own adventure. And when you get in at night, you’ll have a comfy room and plenty of amenities to help you settle in. Call a friend and spin tales from the Downtown underground. What’s a journey without a good story to go with it?
