Three Chimney’s provided us with the best wedding experience we could have imagined! From the beautiful venue itself, with so much character in every room, to the delicious food, they were the entire package Kelsey and Romayne were incredible and made planning so easy and stress free They really went out of their way to add in special touches for us and make sure that we didn’t need to think of anything other than having fun and enjoying our special day

They also took care of our rehearsal and dinner the night before our wedding and made sure everything went smooth the entire weekend We couldn’t be happier and only have good things to say Looking forward to visiting for our anniversary dinner! Thank you so much!!

I just had a baby shower there this past Sunday, May 22nd I toured the facility a few months before and then booked it about 3 months in advance The facility is clean, pretty and very personal

I worked with Kelsey the event planner in regards to all the preparation for the event like food, tables and linens She was very difficult to work with, and very rude in the phone The week before the shower I called to try to understand when I can be there to set up decorations and she was very short with me on the phone I would recommend hosting an event here you just need to request to not work with Kelsey She added unneeded stress to what should be have been a happy day I have never been spoken to the way Kelsey spoke tome over the phone, one of the rudest experiences I have ever had as a paying customer The day of we found out that she wasn’t going to be there and we received no heads up A staff member named Romain was there to help day of and she was amazing and really worked to help us Roman is a very helpful and kind person who truly turned the entire experience around for me

Laura GOUDREAU

Recently, we got married at the three chimneys inn It was the Perfect day From the time we toured and booked to the day of event and beyond, Kelsey, Romaine, and their staff worked hard and seamlessly to make our event run smoothly

Kelsey was the best wedding coordinator, responding patiently to our many questions and follow up emails Both Kelsey and Romaine were very present and calming all weekend! They always had a smile on their faces and made sure we and our guests had everything we needed As the night was underway, they broke down all our decor and neatly placed it for our pick up the next day I can not recommend this venue enough for anyones wedding or other big event! It’s a beautiful setting, they work well with other vendors such as the photographer, bakery, or dj, and their staff and accommodations were very welcoming Thank you Kelsey, Romaine, and all your staff once again!!

This review is for McGuirk’s Restaurant, 5-Stars all around!Here’s the scenario – it’s a hot and crowded July 5 at Hampton Beach, the sun is setting, and the boardwalk is packed We’re at Hampton for a family reunion and we are all starving for dinner It’s getting late and our family of 10 walks into McGuirk’s, the restaurant is hopping with customers, and yet they were still able to somehow make space for our large party to have dinner

And wow what outstanding service, the staff was on point and everyone was very friendly and accommodating We all ordered something different and everything was fantastic I wish I took photos of the food but I was so hungry I couldn’t even think about it The one picture I did take was of the beautiful view of the evening ocean as seen from our table Thank you McGuirk’s for taking care of our family and serving us a delicious, fun and memorable meal

Christina Ross

The service started off okay, drinks were decent Food was questionable My friend noticed an unbearable fish smell right away coming from the lobster roll she ordered

After I took a bite, I proceeded to spit the food back out The lobster was not fresh After informing our server she said okay and let us know the manager would be over The Manager assured us the lobster was fresh off the boat and asked to make something else At this point, it was handled completely unprofessionally and we didn’t not order anything else They did void the roll but we will not be back

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

I stayed there in august of 2022 I would give them 0 stars if I couldI called and asked if an early check in was available, the front desk was very nice and accommodated that

When I got into the room there was a stain on the comforter, the room had an odor to it, there was previous guests belongings left in the room, there was a large amount of hair between the box spring and mattress and there was a makeup brush and necklace between the other box spring and mattressI did not notice these things until later in the evening because I initially had just put bags in and went out for the dayI spoke to the front desk manager He offeredme a new comforter and for housekeeping to re clean the next dayI asked for a discount which he offered 15% and proceeded to explain that the cleanliness of the room was my fault because I asked for an early check in which rushed housekeepingThis obviously made me angry He continued to argue with me so I walked away He ran down the hallway after me SCREAMING at me to get outI was appalled I did not end up leaving I just kept walking and once I got to my room I did not hear from him againI have never had ANYONE scream at me like that ever I was mortified Especially from managementI used to work for a best western Best western should be ashamed and embarrassed to associate themselves with this location Absolutely embarrassed

Kayla Neumann

Pay the extra money and go to the hotel right down the street We stayed there last night and I used to work at a hotel so I know what to look for These rooms are disgusting! Our room smelled of cigarette smoke even though the hotel is no smoking

They tried covering it up with febreeze which obviously didn’t work We lifted the mattress to look for bed bugs and under it was DISGUSTING!! Full of hair and food crumbs and God knows what else The lamps needed a serious wash down Mattress was stained with God knows what else Please please just go somewhere else!!!

Charming hotel with amazing restaurant and friendly staff First, Salt is an amazing restaurant It has the best lobster bisque I’ve ever tried! They also make great drinks

Also, I accidentally fat fingered the reservation and hit the wrong date They had no problem waiving the change fee from bookingcom, and just fixed it on the spot Super classy organization that is very fitting of the building they’re managing I’ve stayed there about 6-10 times And love it each time

Katie G

Prior to our recent stay at the Wentworth by the Sea, I read up on the reviews listed on this page I was very weary of my booking after looking at all the negative comments but kept our reservation in hopes that our opinion would be different than thoseWell, it was wonderful

The hotel, the restaurant, the staff, everything was fantastic My husband and I spent two nights in a water view king suite which looked out over the marina on either side The heated floors in the bathroom were just an added perk to an already lovely roomWe ate at Salt and the food was magnificent The lobster bisque, while pricey, is an experience all should tryCould we afford to stay there during peak season? Definitely not Is this hotel in need of some cosmetic touchups? Sure But would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to getaway for a few nights We will definitely be back!

Jillian Vest

I was so not blown away by this place For $650 a night it time to step up the details I was non stop disappointed

I understand times are hard w staff/supply but don’t sell at $650 if you are going to give motel 8 serviceDirty aged room Had old water bottles under bed So dusty Aged room w molding coming off Robes had holes and stains Pretty sure the mismatched toiletries were used beforeRoom service was terrible Use to be a point of luxury Breakfast missing stuff – comes with one cold cup of coffee instead of a warmer pot Just junk and no extras like jams for breads Our order was missing half its items and no even consideration of complimentingFor a place like this you’d think there would be some extra details like some water in lobby, maybe some coffee – nothingPaid $170 for one night for dog – there’s no trash bins outside to dispose of waste Don’t let them in outdoor pool area When you stay at Westin you get a bowl, plush bed… if you are going to welcome dogs – welcomeThem Sure are paying for themBathrooms in public area were filthy and towels in pool area constantly goneSo disappointed

Overall, excellent People that work at this hotel were genuine about care for guests from valet, front desk , cleaning team & breakfast lady Very clean & comfortable

Beautiful night after traveling and staying at other Hampton inns from Florida to Maine This hotel is what others should look at in caring for guests We were anxious to return home but this hotel allowed us to rest well The owner of this hotel should manage with his team how a hotel should be Excellent quality team & service & comfort So perfect & clean Thank you to the employees who care about their responsibility to provide comfort to their guest!!!

Michael Theriault

Had a very enjoyable stay at the Hampton Inn The location is right in the middle of everything Most restaurants are a minute walk from the hotel

The lobby looks brand new and modern The room was clean and comfy The breakfast had a really nice spread and the waffle maker was a nice touch There is valet and an option to get your car yourself which was easy Only thing was they didn’t specify you had to move your car by 2:30 after check out and I don’t think the desk knew I didn’t know that Other than that everything went smoothly and I definitely recommend staying here!

Aleah Fine

I cannot attest to the hotel stay itself, but their valet service must be absolute garbage I live in the apartment building attached to the hotel and the children who they employ as valet service do not know how to run a proper parking lot Instead of numbering spaces and assigning a ticket, they honk the horn 5-7 times to find the car

This would be fine if the lot were underground, but it’s street level and next to a residential building This sound starts in the wee hours of the morning and is excruciatingly annoying This is an unacceptable practice that I am sure is just as obnoxious to hotel guests Do better

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

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’m not sure what people expect from a beach town that has music, bands and restaurants on every corner that for the last 50 years has catered to young adults Before doing a review people should do their homework Hampton beach is a family place during the day and a party town at night

It is physically right next to a concert venue duh!That being said The Boardwalk is one of the cleanest hotels with best food I have had in Hampton, and I have stayed at many Their food is not frozen boxed food, it is made fresh and I have not had a bad meal There is a bar and a restaurantDuring Covid last year they opened just for us, we were the only people in the place and they gave us a huge discount for the new decorations not yet being in the room This alone proves they care and have a good staff It is very clean, no sand no mold but the rooms can be on the small side like most Hampton rooms Splurge on a second room if you have more than 3 people in the double queens You can sign out a hairdryer ( kids steal them), they have soap, makeup remover , great big fluffy towels and a pretty big mini fridge The double queen room 306 had two fridges There are accessible rooms on the first floor no elevator ( only one hotel on the beach has one) I love this hotel and will only stay here nowDon’t listen to bad reviews of people that didn’t find out what kind of place Hampton beach is and that are picky whinny mean people If something is broken or wrong they are very accommodating to fix it

This hotel is a gem The owners are really friendly and nice, the grounds are beautiful and tranquil The restaurant food is really great

We went to the Deck at Dockside bar one afternoon, which was lively and fun, again with beautiful views It was so lovely having breakfast on the main house porch There is a lot of bird life to watch as well as harbor activity Bring your binoculars!

Michelle Ottaviano

Every year our family eagerly anticipates our stay at Dockside It’s the perfect summer retreat for us It’s peaceful, private, has beautiful grounds to tramp about, is walking distance to the harbour beach, is quiet and low-key while still convenient to shopping and activities in the village or nearby towns

The breakfasts are plentiful and the kitchen in our suite perfectly outfitted to make our own meals We wake up every morning to watch the sun rise with the herons picking their way through the rocky shoreline and the lobster boats heading out to sea, and spend many hours sitting on the deck or in the gazebo to read or play games

Rosemarie Dowey

We came just for 2 nights and we throughly loved the place Our room was very accommodating and very clean The Breakfast service was amazing and relaxing

The inn keepers were very kind and always helpful The parking area was very convenient and close to the units The restaurant was extremely wonderful to have right there The food choices were exceptional and delicious I will be back there again the 3rd of August for a girls trip and we absolutely can’t wait to return We as a couple will be coming back in October as well Thank you for an unforgettable stay

It was a thoughtful touch to include bath salts Breakfast was nicely put together, and the different shared areas (game room, lounge, dining area) were beautifully decorated and I wish we stayed longer to appreciate them more The location was also great, walking distance from Market Square

Will definitely return!

We LOVED our stay at The Hotel Portsmouth! We stayed here for the weekend as a girls’ trip to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday The whole hotel, top to bottom, was exceptionally clean! The hardworking staff was very helpful and kind They prepare a lovely breakfast in the mornings and we really enjoyed sitting together over our coffee and fruit to plan out the day ahead

Everything is walking distance and there are so many fabulous restaurants to choose from and unique stores to shop at! We highly recommend you stay here at the Hotel Portsmouth We will definitely be staying at other Lark Hotels!

We had an adult weekend away!(with No Kids) The charm, location & Staff make this place! The old school charm is just that and I loved it! Be mindful though this is not your modern hotel

this is a classic and because if that a few things you may have to adjust toRoom: Our bathroom was smaller but the detail to make it work flawlessly was obvious Our bed, the mattress was great but they need a better bed frame( No support) Pillows great, fan already in the room, and the water jug super cute Most importantly everything seemed clean!Location: Perfect! You couldn’t ask for a better location Walking distance to everything! Yet out of the busyness of downtownWe will hopefully stay again because I LOVE It!

I highly recommend you consider Atlantic Breeze Suites for your stay The proprietress was incredibly sweet and extremely accommodating It has been recently remodeled

The rooms are extremely curated with an adorable Americana coastal theme Keurig, mini fridge and an amazing bed and cute little sail boat sheets and the pillows are super comfy as well It was incredibly clean, check in was super easy, and a beautiful and homey fragrance filling the air I wish them the best of luck, they have done an amazing job, and definitely deserve the best and allthe recognition

We had a wonderful month-long stay! Room and accommodations were very comfortable, modern, and well maintained Most importantly, people were great–welcoming and helpful Our location was great also–ocean (and sunrise view), beach access; at their more northerly part of the beach we were away from the hub-bub and clatter of the more heavily trafficked southern part

Looking forward to returning!

D.J. Mack

I loved this place! The room was perfect, spotless, modern and exactly what you would expect, and amazing ocean views from my balcony The rest of the building was very clean and modern Fell asleep on the very comfortable bed to the sound of the Atlantic

Wonderful staff and owners made an extra effort to ensure my stay was great Can’t wait to come back again!

Great Island Inn is a superb combination of stylish design and welcoming hospitality located in a quaint and peaceful neighborhood within easy distance of Portsmouth We found the accommodations spotlessly clean and nicely appointed with great looking furniture, quality linens and soaps The little kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal for breakfast or a quiet supper

There is nothing “mini” about the mini bar!! We found the refrigerator very well-stocked with a good selection of drinks and snacks We loved the view (Room 5) over the sweet neighborhood and the Piscataqua River New Castle Island is a lovely location and Great Island Inn is a gem!

Bob Witte

I stayed one night on my own to get a little peace and quiet away, and this place was absolutely perfect Super easy check-in and check-out, the inn itself was cozy, clean, and very welcoming I stayed in Room 6, love the decor and simplicity

Beds were heaven This is a gem, thank you! I will definitely be back! Also, I really appreciated the mocha coffee to go:)

D’Amore Bradley

My husband and I stayed here for our 2nd anniversary We had a fantastic stay! We were surprised with champagne to celebrate our anniversary, had an amazing view from our bedroom window, and were shocked at how quiet the Inn was! The location is great! Just a quick trip into downtown Kittery or the outlets, and a short, 3 min drive over the bridge to Portsmouth Overall, our stay at the Water Street Inn was perfect!

Cam Bradley

I am not even sure where to start First, the had parking for every room so no need to worry about where the car is going for the night Covid friendly doesn’t matter much to me BUT you can get into the house and your room just by using a code in case you don’t want to talk to anyone

However, I would recommend talking to the owners because they are very nice people! Just a few minutes after we arrived, they came up to our room and gave us complimentary champagne (ice cold) because we were there for our 2nd wedding anniversary!The room very nice and had everything you need to stay a few nights Shampoo, body wash, free boxed water, and the downstairs area has a nice shared fridge along with tea and coffee all the time Btw, our room had a beautiful view of the Portsmouth skylineAmazing stay and would gladly recommend to anyone who wants a nice getaway to Maine/New Hampshire

Arrived on a foggy summer night to a warm welcome at the Stage Neck Inn It was midnight and the receptionist greeted us kindly and was expecting our arrival We were checked in immediately and shown to our very comfortable rooms

After a restful sleep, we enjoyed a breakfast Buffett: Benedicts, shrimp and grits, Texas hash, etc After breakfast, a 30 second walk takes you to the beach which is a lovely spot for a peaceful morning or letting the dogs run!

Very accommodating staff! I feel as though they went above and beyond during our weekend stay I would have liked to have the room serviced during stay but its still understandable A microwave inside the rooms rather than a communicable one only inside the lobby would be a nice addition

We will definitely plan to stay in the future, as we have been to many other hotels in the area with much less cleanliness and standards Thanks again for your outstanding staff!

Ray Beaver

we had the most wonderful time at this hotel with a staff member named Heaven Lee how could it not be it was our 51st anniversary and since covid our first celebration in two years

the room was spacious and clean our balcony allowed us to hang outside when we wanted being winter we didn’t expect 58 degrees; however we got that for our two days AND a beautiful sunrise we came home wishing we had a longer as we say in sports, wait till next year thanks for a wonderful anniversary

The staff was amazing from the very first interactionThe room was very nice and clean It was so quiet, that I called the front desk at 11:30pm requesting a fan (I forgot mine at home

I need it for noise) The fan was delivered immediately Forgot my blow dryer, they were able to lend me one They offer a small free bag of ice to each quest and have fresh coffee brewing around the clock The front desk is open 24 hours! Also have a vending machine with snacks right in the lobby as well as in the hallways We watched the fireworks on the beach right across from the hotel If you’re driving a pickup truck or large vehicle, I recommend asking for parking outside I was able to drive my Silverado 1500 into the garage but had a hard time getting out (I had parked before checking inThis mistake was my fault)I’ll be staying here when I return next yearThank you to the entire staff at Hampton House Hotel!!

Smallest bathroom ever Location was great, good restaurants Towels and wash clothes were stained and low grade, not the quality that I am use to

Nice pool Stayed in a very small one bedroom with deck, ocean view deck was nice Suggestion, key deck door lock to be same as room door or you will have to call down to desk to come up and let you in Stairs are very steep and your foot does not fit on stairs so be very careful on those This hotel needs updating Lots of stained ceiling tiles in this room Great weather and great beach

kathy shakley

Owner was helpful in helping us get our belongings into our rooms ( we booked a suite and a single room) I was not impressed with the cleanliness of either Suite 28 was run down and filthy Fan had thick grime, baseboards rusty and dirty

exhaust fan covered in grime carpeting old and musty The fan over the stove and stove itself was very dirty with rust and dried grease One window has a crack in the glass The railing going out off the porch was so loose that it was an accident waiting to happen It was sad it was so unkept ( it was in the older part of the hotel) Loved the rooftop deck it was beautiful! Pool was ok but had green algae on the steps Outdoor shower didn’t work We made the best out of it but I’m still at disbelief on why the owners would be OK with such filth I hope they reevaluate on improving the condition of the older rooms I just can’t understand them not taking better care of their property
