Top Tugboat Alley Hotel Reviews

Port Inn and Suites Portsmouth, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was very neat and clean. Staff upon arrival was very helpful recommending a downtown sports bar for a football game we wanted to watch. Parking was right outside the door to our room! My only personal drawback was a too soft bed."

Homewood Suites By Hilton Portsmouth Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to all of Portsmouth, especially The Music Hall. Although valet parking is $45/night you can save a bit by parking on the street. Breakfast was delicious!"

Hotel Thaxter

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super cute, and the bed was very comfortable (which means a lot since I'm very picky). Loved that they offered valet parking for $40 a night. It was within walking distance of everything; wish we stayed longer!"

Residence Inn by Marriott Portsmouth Downtown/ Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The valet parking was wonderful. Great location. Great staff. Would definitely stay here again"

The Sailmaker's House

10/10 Excellent

"The Sailmaker's House offers the perfect location, clean, and great rooms."

The Bow Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property was very unique. No front lobby or staff on-site, but very responsive when we texted or called. Rooms were small and modern, bathroom also small but well-stocked. Location is great! Right next to the bridge and very walkable to all the restaurants, stores, and tourist sites. Parking was right across the street, however price is not included in room rate. Worth it all the same."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Portsmouth

8/10 Good

"Overall the rooms were clean but the bathtub was stained."

AC Hotel by Marriott Portsmouth

8/10 Good

"I believe three people called out sick, so our experience at the rooftop restaurant Envio was absolutely terrible. We waited half hour in line just to check in for our reservation. We didn’t get our drinks and appetizers until an hour after ordering. It wasn’t the fault of the staff that was present, but the restaurant should not have been open because they were unable to accommodate guests. We did not remain to order a main course. The rest of our stay at the hotel was fantastic, however."

Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our rooms were super clean and smelled fresh. Patio is wonderful in the morning, great view of the island Shoales ferry coming and going. Club breakfast was lovely. Staff was helpful and available."
