Room was great
The room was larger than it appeared in pictures. Bed was comfortable and it was such a cool spot to stay. Walking distance from downtown life. Parking was a nightmare. They charge you for parking which I find absurd when you’re paying to stay there. Parking should be included in the cost of your stay. Instructions in the email said you could park at the church on Saturday nights as long as you move before 7 a.m. and we left at 6:45. Word of advice just pay their $35 parking fee or you’ll wind up with a $68 parking ticket like we did.

2/10 Poor

This is a remote staff and remote entry facility. Our room was quite small, but others are larger. The price is a bit high for a place with very little amenities. Excellent location in Portsmouth! Fantastic live theater in the basement of the building.

6/10 Good

The price was a little high, especially for the size of the room and lack of amenities, and we had to pay extra for parking. The bed was just a mattress on slats, and was therefore rather uncomfortable, although there were plenty of pillows. The valve in the shower wasn't working well, so most of the water went straight down the drain rather than through the showerhead. Cannot beat the convenience of the location, however, as we were there for a show at Seacoast Rep. It was also within very easy walking distance of our dinner reservation.

Everything was so lovely! This incredible human being helped us and was so accommodating! I really hope her name is Amy? She has ethereal stormy blue eyes! The point being — she was incredibly kind and helpful and made our experience in Portsmouth one that will most certainly not be our last! She has gained you a loyal guest!
