Waiting area/lobby outside of Nichinan
Rachel N.

The rooms were clean and spacious. The Hotel Thaxter is very centrally located in Portsmouth so we were a walking distance from everything we wanted to do. There is a free parking lot less than a half mile from the hotel. We were able to park there all weekend without issue. (We did move our car at one point to take a day trip into Maine though!) The staff at the front desk are very helpful and welcoming. The lobby is beautiful! There is a sushi restaurant called Nichinan that we ate at one night and it all felt very luxurious! The food was amazing, the ambiance in the restaurant and throughout the hotel is great. I have been recommending this hotel to all of my friends who want to get away in Portsmouth, NH!

Very nice boutique hotel in the tourist district of Portsmouth. Modern design in well appointed rooms and nice amenities. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Parking can be a challenge but off season we found street parking available at reasonable rates.

On the advice from Samantha Brown (name drop), we decided to take a week off from our "busy"…read moreretired lives and visit the Wentworth Inn in Newcastle, New Hampshire. And are we glad we did. Although a change in ownership over the years was a surprise, the new owners kept up the charm and elegance I would expect from a resort-style establishment. From my first phone call, to the bellhop, to the front desk, to the absolutely fantastic dinner(s) and breakfast, the entire team was there for us to ensure our needs were met at every step. The Wentworth met our every expectation. A special shout out to our dinner wait-staff (Skye). Skye took the time to explain the menu and to offer other options for the ever chasing "Best Lobster Roll" in New England. Naturally, Skye recommended the Wentworths own in house Restaurant (The Salt K&B) so we went for it the next evening and Skye was absolutely spot on. Their Lobster Roll was spectacular. The "Best" in New England may be up for debate, but we were very happy with this and all other meals we enjoyed during our visit. Solid five stars folks to the entire team at the Wentworth Inn in Newcastle, New Hampshire. The Opal group has other facilities closer to us, which we'll be checking out soon. Check this place on folks you will not be disappointed.

Incredible. My mom and I started with the poke bowl at two butterfly seats by the windows. It was a…read morebeautiful view. And when the poke bowl came out the tuna was so fresh and lightly seared, sesame encrusted and absolutely amazing. The rice was sticky and cooked perfectly and everything had some kind of green goddess wasabi sauce that was delicious. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. Then we had spa treatments and April really helped me with my CRPS by starting the massage on my neck face up and it's something I will be bringing into the future with other therapists. It was overall an incredible experience and we can't wait to recreate it play by play here soon!

Does have fridge and coffee for the morning. Water in room but very expensive....so bring a water bottle. Amenities: does have gym and pool, a nice snack area, and a bar on site. Overall a good bet for a hotel in Portsmouth. You will be super comfortable here and have great access to all the town offers. There is not any free parking around. Valet and overnight parking is 30.00.

Morning front desk staff didn't crack a smile the whole stay I was here...5 nights. Almost like you…read morewere bothering her! NO housekeeping service after two days. Asked for towels and for the trash to be picked up from our room still waiting. Bathroom is super tight...literally the door open towards the shower and is about an inch from the sink. Shower head sprays water everywhere so we had to put a towel over the shower head to avoid the bathroom getting soaked along with the shower door that keeps sliding open while you are showering. Toilet constantly cycling all day...requested to be looked at....still waiting. Fridge in room turned off & when opened water drained all over the floor! But the best was loosing power in HALF IF THE ROOM! Location is good but at is about it! Breakfast was $18 and it was powdered eggs. Parking is not included and the cost is $60 a day!!!! Town has cute stores all within walking distance which was nice!

This was an absolutely great find. On Hotel Tonight, the app, you can be very lucky with what comes…read moreup and you never know what you'll find. Not sure if it's because of the season (probably because of the season LOL) but the room price was incredibly reasonable. It was between this place & the Howard Johnson's. No offense to Howard Johnsons, but this place kind of like, blew it out of the water you could say. I got this room on short notice because I had to be in the area and I didn't have a lot of time to find a place to stay. I didn't do much research before booking it, but that was no problem because it turned out to be perfect. Upon entry you see that it is an adorable house, kind of like a bed-and-breakfast but without the breakfast part. Although I found that I didn't need it. The proprietor, Doug, was very friendly and helpful upon giving me the code to enter the house. He explained that there were restaurant recommendations and further explanations of the amenities on the yellow sheet of paper on the table in the middle of the room. That would be very helpful to out-of-towners. When you walk into the space, you enter into a living room area, at least in my room. It's small but perfectly furnished with a love seat and a comfortable black rattan chair. A small dining tables behind it with a kitchen immediately to your right. The kitchen was well outfitted with anything you might need to cook. Behind all this was a bed, I think it was a queen size, may have been a king, wasn't really paying attention but it was beautiful with lovely linen and perfect throw pillows. The bathroom was a large with a washer dryer which should be fantastic for extended-stay guests. The whole place looks brand new and was immaculately kept and smelled fantastic. Everything worked, as far as the black out curtains that you could pull down, the TV, the heat etc. He also has a good selection of liquor wine and beer for purchase in the room at modest prices. Everything was great, the only two things I would suggest would be to stock coffee for the morning with the coffee maker. There's creamers in the fridge which is kind of a tease considering there's no coffee, as a coffee junkie I was a little disappointed, but the place is great I definitely could look past it. Also in the bathroom the bathtub stopper did not work so I couldn't take a bath and the water pressure was pretty bad. These were definitely not something that would steer me away from staying here again however. The proprietor looked as if he would be right on it the second anyone mentioned something defective in the room. As I've said before, I would recommend this hotel to anyone in the area. It's really cute, really clean, in a great area, with a wonderful owner. Definitely check it out and enjoy your stay :-)

Can confirm that all the 5 star reviews are warranted. We stayed at a pet friendly unit on the…read moreground level. Extremely clean, cute, and modern. The building is absolutely gorgeous, there is a great cafe right next door, and the ocean and parks are a short walk down a beautiful side road.
