However, some aspects of the rooms need attention. Its location near key Portsmouth attractions makes it a practical choice for visitors.”

The location was central and quiet. The personnel were nice and helpful. They accommodated our requests with flexibility. The bed was comfy and I found the price ok.
There was a very slight delay at check-in because I hadn't received the key code yet.

The shower drain had a foul odor. I also found a brown, sludgy fluid coming from it.
