Residence Inn by Marriott Portsmouth Downtown/Waterfront

This was a complete embarrassment of a hotel. Went to valet and I know they are third party but this is your first image of the hotel. Valet showed no signs of hospitality as they just cared about getting your keys. No assistance to unload your luggage or even grab luggage cart. YOU do it all even though you are paying decent bit for valet and the hotel. ||Check in team was not friendly and seemed to just want to get though our check in which was quick because I pre checked. No personal touch and no further information about hotel given. ||Room should not have passed turn from night before. Looked like room had just been used before we got in it. Toilet paper was torn. Bed sheets were torn and had holes in the sheets on the bed. ||Shower was worst set up I’ve ever experienced. Shower head

Residence Inn Portsmouth Downtown is in a great location close to many restaurants and attractions. The decor feels modern and freshly updated, giving the whole place a clean, stylish vibe. The lobby and breakfast area are large with plenty of seating and even a pool table, and the gym, though small, has brand new equipment. Check in was quick and the front desk staff were friendly and professional. The rooms have a unique modern aesthetic that stands out from other Residence Inns. There’s a large, upscale fridge, a big comfortable sectional, and plenty of space to relax or work. Overall, it’s a very nice property that combines comfort and convenience, and I would definitely stay here again.

Positive: Location & nice room, but their parking is outrageous! $45 for one night. This isn’t New York or DC, it’s Portsmouth. It’s not posted anywhere so you think you’re getting a decent room rate, then they hit you with an extra $50 for your car.

We love this Residence Inn! We have stayed twice with our young children, and have had wonderful experiences both times. The staff are friendly and responsive, and there are thoughtful touches throughout the hotel stay, from a pack and play with baby-friendly toiletries ready in our room on arrival, to a sweet holiday gift-wrapping DIY station in the lobby. 100% recommend for families looking for a comfortable, walkable Portsmouth stay.

Quality hotel in the heart of Portsmouth. Rooms were clean and well stocked, and the building was easy to navigate. Parking is expensive if you valet, but there is ample street parking around the hotel itself.
