5-Stars for staff friendliness3-Stars for quality of breakfast5-Stars for room cleanliness — clearly the room has been updated

it was clean and very usable!5-Stars for privacy — the cabin/bldg we stayed in was physically separate from others with space between buildings — this added to sound isolation sweet!Bonus points for handicap access — not sure why there was a fan mounted on the wall aimed at the bed, since the room had its own air conditioning unit but it had a string to operate it so it could be operated from low — I’m guessing for handicap accessibility nice touch!So why the 2-stars overall? We put highest weight on a good night’s sleep when we travel And sadly, we didn’t get that1-Star bed comfort — although the bed was very nicely made up, it was *horribly* springy and the mattress felt very very old We both woke up with pains in our lower backs, something I haven’t felt since our own mattresses had once aged and stopped providing any reasonable support2-Star darkness — although the rear window had a blackout shade, the front-facing one only had blinds and thin sheer — light from outside illuminated the room through the night, noticeably brighter in the morning too The room needs a blackout shade in front2-star smell — although the room appeared *very* clean (excellent!), it smelled musty nonetheless I don’t know what can be done about that, but we both noticed it immediately upon enteringSo there it is — I’d love to have given it an overall higher rating, but with such a poor night’s sleep we just couldn’t do so Probably more like a 25 out of 5, but that isn’t an option here

Lovely, homey, comfortable small town motel with friendly staff at better than average prices Nicely appointed rooms with heat, A/C, two TV’s, fan, toaster oven, microwave, stove top, and fridge plus cookware and utensils Great for overnight or longer stays

Breakfast was definitely more than Continental and quite tasty! Included in price Stayed there to see Adam Hawley at the Jimmy’s Jazz club in nearby Portsmouth Would go back Highly recommended

Shelly Fuquay

We stayed here while visiting Portsmouth I love the vintage inspired decor that gives a nod to the motor inn legacy of Howard Johnson The rooms were clean, good size, reasonably priced

There was a microwave and mini fridge There is coin laundry downstairs Nothing special, but a decently priced no frills hotel in a convenient location

Kurt Lambert

You can definitely do better than this hotel Air conditioning unit sounded like a jet engine when it was running They said they might be able to move us if a room opened up

The breakfast is a weak selection of yogurt, oatmeal, and juice Frozen breakfast “hot pocket” has to be obtained from the front deskif you can find them when you want to eat We will not be returning

Even though we were in kinda dead season it was just great! We enjoyed the ocean view king room, comfortable bed, the indoor pool was so much fun, cleanliness is number one for me and the room was very cleanChecking in and out was very easy If you visit there, have breakfast in The stonewall kitchen and dinner in Lobster clove by the ocean

We tried surf and turf and didn’t like it muchWe would definitely go back again!

Stephanie C

We have stayed here a couple times now and love it The check in is super easy Staff is very helpful and they even have a texting feature so if there’s anything you need you can text them

They were very responsive when asked for additional items like a shampoo and even when asking for recommendations on a pizza place nearby The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean The pool and hot tubs are very well maintained and we routinely saw them taking samples of the water to make sure it was clean and safe You can’t beat the location just steps from the beach Such a beautiful place We feel that when you factor in the cost of parking and added gas and traffic you can’t beat staying here I highly recommend staying here

Narissa Liptak

Considering we went and purposely stayed during a blizzard, we had a lot of fun Our suite was nice and roomy for the 3 of us Could have had 4 no problem

Parking under the building during the storm was very nice The walk to the pool, not so much, lol The staff was all super friendly and informative Apart from the handful of goldfish crackers we found in our pull out sofa bed and the used tissue behind it, we will definitely go back Have to figure out when to book to get that amazing view in mid-July

My wife and I just stayed for the first time for our anniversary weekend We were on the 3rd floor It truly was an ocean view

Beautiful private deck The room was just right Basic amenities and very clean If you’re expecting a huge television, living room furniture, or full kitchen, you may be disappointed We had a king size bed that was very comfortable The kitchenette was nice Besides, if you’re that close to the ocean, you don’t need all the frills in the room We were out every day except to sit on the deck at night and to sleep The only thing that would have made it easier is if there was an elevator The staff was extremely friendly and helpful We’ll definitely be back again!

Ended up at Hampton Inn Kittery for over 3-weeks on business While hotels are typically not ideal long-term, I could have asked for a better experience Location is perfect, within walking distance of the Outlet Mall, eateries, the highway

The shipyard and downtown Portsmouth are minutes away The staff is amazing—friendly and professional The pool and state of the art fitness center are a bonus Decent continental breakfast Hot and cold options Nice sized rooms with desk and small kitchen area (minus a stove)

Kris Tangen

For the cost of the room I felt like the Hampton Inn Kittery was good value!The good: the bed was comfortable, the cost of the room wasn’t bad for a king suite (under 200 a night), the hotel provides a free breakfast every morning which had a lot of unique options it wasn’t a continental it was an actual breakfast and the quality of the food wasn’t awful which you kind of expect it to be for a free breakfast, the location of the hotel was perfect for the beach, for visiting Portsmouth, for visiting York, etc the staff were friendly, helpful, and did an excellent jobThe less than stellar: the room smelled like mildew, the bathroom toilet did not flush fully so you had to flush twice regardless of what was occupying the bowl The pool smelled of mildew

We were walked in on by cleaning staff who thought the room was empty which I don’t hold against the cleaning staff but I was worried that they ended our reservation early because the staff only clean by request or when your room is emptyOverall I would recommend this place if you’re in Maine looking for a good location and good value, not without its faults but for the cost it got the job done!

Penny-Ellen Terr

I have worked in the hospitality industry for decades and seen it all when staying at hotels Seriously, I have many stories, but I have to say my stay at the Kittery Hampton Inn & Suites was beyond exceptional What made it so great? The General Manager, Reid, and the AGM, Justin

Both gentleman went out of their way to make my 2-week stay pleasurable They greeted me each morning by name and always asked if I needed anything Even the housekeeper asked to carry my breakfast try to my room one morning Seriously nice people who strive to accommodate! The hotel is immaculate, the location is in walking distance to restaurants & shopping, and the breakfast (which is include) was unique and delightful They also have a huge front lawn to walk your dog The management at this property definitely goes the extra mile, so many thanks This was my first stay at this property- but whenever I am in the area it will be my hotel of choice Hats off the Reid & Justin!!

Nice hotel They said my room would be ready at 3:30 but it was not at 3:45 The light in the room is sparse

The shower is really nice The room fridge and microwave are very nice Larger than I expected Lobby is comfortable and nicely decorated Staff is pleasant and helpful Location is good but shuttle service was a bit slow Hallway noise late at night woke me but it was not loud nor prolonged

Samuel Conner

I travel for work and am cooped up in hotels 90% of the year This hotel refused to clean my room, and then when they finally did they wouldn’t change bedding I had been staying here for over 3 weeks and refused to change bedding

After longer talks they finally came and changed bedding As a diamond member this should’ve been addressed and never occur again However, this is the second Marriott in 2 months that refused to clean rooms Some say it is because of extended stays Last Marriott was only a week stay and refused to Clean Here at this Marriott, I am staying for 2 months and they won’t Clean more than once a week That would be fine if they changed bedding but I had to specifically ask for new bedding as it wasn’t changed Very frustrating to be living on the road and dealing with this Am I not paying a new room price everyday? Why has cleaning been restricted to once a week? Shouldn’t it be every day cleaned if I am paying the same price everyday? Isn’t that in the agreement or something? Very upset from my stay here

Deon Caine

At check in, first thing that was said “we don’t service the rooms every day You will be here 5 nights so you get 1 service day” Really? I’m paying up to $400 per night and you can’t even service the room? You had to pay for breakfast

Prices were crazy high $11 for a breakfast burrito? $3 for a soda out of the machine I will not be back, in fact this place pushed me to find a different brand other than Marriott They try to squeeze every penny out of you even though you pay through the nose for their rooms

I stayed at the Garrison for 8 days for work From Jamie and her colleagues at the front desk, who consistently went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed, to the amazing landscaper I never met but whose beautiful flowers, lively bird-feeders, and hotel-replica handmade birdhouse I admire, this place was a perfect place to spend the week for work In spite of the hotel apparently being totally full while I was there, and also serving canine guests, my room was **so quiet**

It was amazing liked it so much I’ll be stopping there next weekend (assuming I can get a room for us) on our family road trip next weekend

Angel Earth

This is a nice hotel located right next to/behind Dunkin Donuts and CVS I had the ‘Efficiency Room’ with a King size bed It was a quite and pleasant stay for me which is what I wanted

I gave 4 stars due to there being a narrow shower stall instead of a bathtub and also that the bed was a bit too soft as it felt like your back is sinking into the bed Otherwise, they have good amenities, a decent breakfast and is in a convenient location

Rachel Hansen

I would give this review a negative 5 if I could We booked a room and then canceled it immediately We were charged almost $400 for a “no show

” When we called they refused to give us a refund and told us, “they could have sold the room 20 times over that night” and “it wasn’t there issue” Now when we try to call they screen our phone calls and do not answer The one time I got through and spoke to Kathy, she told me that the hotel manager Tanya wasn’t available and that she would call me back Of course, Tanya never called back When I asked when she would be available Kathy said, “Oh you know, it is just so hard to tell with her I don’t know” Clearly they are avoiding us So very difficult to give a review on a hotel room that we never actually stayed in and were charged full price EXTREMELY disappointed in their customer service When I tried to explain our situation, it was clear they had zero empathy They are just a money hungry company who can care less about their customers

Very nice Every member of staff we came in contact with was polite Rooms were clean

Pool was clean The grounds were nicely kept with beautiful flowers I loved the 24 hour coffee bar I wish they had iced water provided there though The breakfast spoiled us It was great everyday and I’m going to miss having a hot breakfast just down the hall Definitely a nice hotel and I recommend it

Zack Dresser

Pleased with accommodations and friendly staff Location is close to many restaurants/stores/coffee shops which was nice I accidentally left my headphone case in my room when I checked out and called and talked to Summer about it

They were really kind and helpful in looking for my lost item They found them and promptly mailed them back to me at home I am so appreciative for this hotel’s help!

Lana McEachnie

Everything else was great but I’m all about the cleanliness of the bathroom We were in room 208 and I couldn’t shower before leaving this morning because the shower had so much mold I took pictures

Also, we were awakened at 4am by a loud pinging noise – I think from someone above us showering I took a video It came from in the walls and stopped when the shower was done Do better Hampton Inn!! Edited to say: Regarding your response, I’m confused as to why you’re asking me to spend more of my time to reach out to you again The pictures show the problem, the room number – I would hope you’ve already sent someone in to fix this Have a good day

Florence Reed

We loved that our family could spread out in a suite of two rooms, one with a queen bed, and another with two doubles plus fridge, microwave, desk, chair and counter We don’t mind sharing a bathroom so appreciated not having to pay for two whole rooms and just a bit extra for the suite It was also very convenient to be able to charge electric vehicle overnight for a small additional charge

Our room was never cleaned during the three nights we stayed, which wasn’t a problem for us, but some people might not like it The breakfast wasn’t great, but we didn’t expect that for the price We will probably stay here again

David MacLeod

I was very pleased with this motel The service was courteous and efficient Very friendly and helpful owners

This is why a motel owned and operated are superior to big Franchise I was travelling from Southwest Florida which I have done for several years I must say the BEST motel I stayed in Room was very comfortable and TV selection was great Location was near I95 and close to Gas and restaurants

Joshua Bryant

The Port Inn was good Not amazing, but certainly not bad either The room was a mixture of the outdated and updated

There was also a bit of a smell in there that we couldn’t quite track down However, the room was overall clean and the staff was friendly We also loved that they have complementary electric car chargers Overall, I would stay there again for the price we paid

W. Jeff Crawford

A unique experience in this out-of-the-way hotel While everything on the surface seemed to be good, there were a few notable, interesting things The staff and service seem to be top notch

The continental breakfast was as you would expect it to be, small items to eat, without much fanfare The thing that got us was the fact that when we entered our suite, we were greeted with a heavily stained carpet Seeing as we were not at the beach, or someplace where this would be normal, it threw red flags as to how the room would be But the room turned out to be pretty fantastic With separate bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, it was perfect for our large family The only other semi-complaint would be the inundating smell of chlorine bleach when you first enter the main lobby (not a bad thing, per se, since it denotes cleanliness) But the lack of other smells commonly associated with hotels nowadays (weed, mold, mildew, etc) was a pleasant surprise The elevator was a bit rickety, especially for family members that have phobias in them But the rate of speed was highly-respectable The flow of water to the showers was great, but the temperature could use tweaking on the fourth floor The staff were ubër-friendly, including a kind woman at the breakfast offering chocolate chips for our waffles, or the front desk woman who was kind to greet us when we would come downstairs The breakfast area was very clean and tidy; well-maintained But that stain remained the downfall of the adventure for my wife and daughter I would give it a solid 47 stars, but cannot go the full 5, although I gave it 5 for the overall (Also, a HUGE bonus was being right next to a Mexican restaurant — Margaritas — with easy access to and from, but that’s not really a thing to hitch or kick a review)

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to all of Downtown Portsmouth The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly Room was large and bright

Bed was comfortable Bathroom seemed a bit dirty like it had not been thoroughly cleaned before my stay Complimentary breakfast was unfussy and welcomed Drinks were available for purchase from the front desk and were reasonably priced Overall stay was as expected from a 3-star accommodation

J B

Hotel room was actually very spacious, clean, and modern The kitchenette was equipped with a large refrigerator, microwave, sink, and dishwasher The bathroom was a little odd with the shower design, but like the rest of the room, it was nice and spacious

Staff were very nice and accommodating So here’s the issue The walls are paper thin – more so than any hotel we’ve experienced You can hear everything going on in the surrounding rooms It honestly felt like we were sharing our room with the family next door We (me, my daughter and wife) had 2 nights of horrible sleep because of this It’s a shame because the hotel and staff are very nice but getting terrible sleep because of paper thin walls is a deal breaker for us

Sarah Flathers

My husband and I have been staying at this location for almost 10 years now We love Portsmouth and this hotel is extremely convenient when coming to visit family all the way from North Carolina We now have a 2

5 year old son and finally was able to make the trip since Covid while I am currently 7 months pregnant We have never had an issue and have always enjoyed the staff Our stay was overall great until it came time to leave Because we live SO far away and driving with a toddler it is not the easiest, we needed to leave at 4am We loaded the majority of our items in to our car that we parked right out front of the entrance the day before so when we left, we only had a few items to carry down My husband stayed upstairs in our room, getting dressed, 25 year old asleep in the bed, while I took a duffle bag, our two pillows, and a few other items down We were staying in a suite so the bedroom is separate I wanted to get the car warmed up so we could easily transfer our toddler to the car Unfortunately, I did forget the hotel key upstairs in the midst of grabbing items, it was 4am When I went back inside and rang the bell, a man came to the door and said that he would not let me back inside after I explained to him what room I was in, forgot my card key, and that my husband and 25 year old was back upstairs in the room waiting for me to come help grab the last few items I had my drivers license AND confirmation of our booking on my cell phone and he would still not allow me back in He would not even call up to our room to ask my husband to verify it was in fact me to get back in My husbands cell phone was plugged in where our sleeping child was After almost 20 minutes and my husband worried for me, he checked his phone Had to wake up our child to come downstairs to get me While I completely Understand safety, I am Clearly 7 months pregnant and had my identification to compare to his information in the system! The man could have confirmed if he went back on the cameras because he was NOT at the front desk when I cam Down to see I had JUST come downstairs, arms full He could have easily allowed me to sit inside the lobby until my husband came downstairs instead of making me sit outside The man was extremely RUDE! Telling me to find another way?! We will be contacting cooperate and are owed a written apology This was handled completely extreme I was not some drunk walking in, trying to cause problems

We came for a quick overnight to meet up with friends from Maine Overall it was good however, the bathroom was in need of a good cleaning (the tub was dirty) and the kitchen floor sticky When we arrived we met the housecleaning staff 2 doors down

The room lacked a “clean’ smell even though there are stickers everywhere stating they used disinfectant Higher rating if the room had been cleaner

I went for 3 weeks for work The hotel is older and worn I didn’t mind this, but the cleanliness was not as expected

My room smelled of stale smoke, it wasn’t clean and over my 3 weeks they did not clean the room Only replaced towels and sheets The hallways and stairwells look like they never got vacuumed eitherSome of the staff was really friendly, others were not The ice machine on the second floor was brokenOn the plus side the hotel is in a good location Mostly quiet, there were a few people partying in the common bbq area outside my room past 9pm and I tried to call the front desk but no one was there And the beds were comfortable The laundry facility was easy to use My room was next to the elevators on the 4th floor and I didn’t really hear people so it was pretty well insulated for sound from the hallsLooks like I have the same comments as everyone else and the hotel has apologized after each review but taken no action to correct the issue of cleanliness even though it would be easy to step that up

This should not be ranked 42 stars on Google! Or considered a 3-star hotel I had to change rooms 3 times because they were so gross

The first had someone’s shaved hairs in the sink, a chewed on ottoman with dried slobber and a dirty kitchen floor The second had blood stains in the carpet in front of the bathroom sink (I’m sorry I ran out of there so fast I didn’t take a photo of that) The third had a grey couch that was stained brown in patches and a chair with scratches on the cushion The fourth was the last room available and my only complaint was the layer of dust on the headboard and in general the beds were poorly made The pool had hairs floating in it (I wore goggles) so I didn’t stay in I understand this hotel is pet friendly but I’ve stayed at others that are, and they were nice and cleanOnly good thing about this hotel was the front desk attendant David

The rooms were great Had some nice angles Different, clean, comfortable

Lighting in bathroom could have been better There was some working going on, so dealt with that noise The site and neighborhood is blah Not bad, but blah But you are a very short walk to a great downtown, so the area has lots to offer $35 to park (valet) seemed overkill after paying for the room, though Staff and vibe was good Room was very nice We live 30 minutes away, it was a getaway night I’d go back

Our room was immaculate, like brand new!! The bed and comforter was super comfy, hotel was quiet etcFrom the time we checked in and were met by the young Valet Cam (he was excellent), till the time we checked out our 2 day stay was perfect I highly recommend this hotel

I’ve stayed at dozens hotels and always got Club/Executive Lounge access Not once have I gone into a lounge and them tell me the available drinks are Apple Juice and WaterWho in their right mind would pay for a club access that doesn’t serve quality breakfast and have cocktails?This hotel wants to trick you into thinking the club access is what you’d normally expect and it’s a bait & switch

Not only that, they told me my room was being cleaned when I called an hour before and then suddenly upon arrival the room is no longer available but a smaller room on the unrenovated side of the hotel isWe go to check it out and saying it was disgusting is putting it nicely Only after an hour of arguing with them, did my room that I paid for magically become availableThey tried the bait & switch twiceThis hotel management should be ashamed of themselvesNext time I’ll just stay at a Marriott or maybe even a Budget motel because here you pay $560+/night for stained windows, carpets and people’s hair/spills in the bathroomI can’t give this any less than 1 star It deserves negative stars

Quaint, old guesthouse Definitely a viable option for your hotel dollars over the chains They weren’t really sweet up for business travelers though as the desk is not continually manned and breakfast doesn’t start until 8

My room was large and clean, albeit with a very small showerRecommended

Stephen Priest

I have only eaten once there and that was for Thanksgiving The table decor was interesting and they used real acorns in their decorations I had to keep my very young son from playing with them

The food was good This was years agoI visited during the free 🆓 comic book day that was happening across the state I ran into an old friend and we got caught up on events The room for the convention, that Jetpack Comics Ralph DiBenardo was in charge of, seemed a little small, but, the outside was also being used as well Nice looking garden Decent amount of parking 🅿️Good place to rent space for a medium to large gathering

Holiday inn definitely has great consistency If you’ve been to one Holiday inn express in NH then you know what the other Holiday inns here will be like I like how the room design is consistent across their different locations

The staff here are very courteous, the beds are comfy, and the room is cleanYou can check my other reviews if you want to compare the room design
