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!

I am spoiled because we were at a a Best Western in Green Valley Arizona just last weekend and it was fantastic! Here, the room is tired, the walls rickety and there is no breakfast.

It's like a good punch to your olfactory nerves! On top of that you can get an uncomfortable mattress/pillow set up, ripped wallpaper and old furniture you'd put out on the curb just hoping someone would take it. I also found an insect I couldn't identify in the bathroom! Bonus bug? Seriously the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. On top of that it's located next to the worst roundabout ever. Four accidents that we saw in three days. DO NOT STAY HERE

The Residence Portsmouth Downtown Waterfront is a solid Marriott Residence Inn…read more The location of this hotel (NOT to be confused with the Residence Inn at Pease International Airport, also in Portsmouth) is ideal; the hotel is close to everything in downtown Portsmouth. The Residence Portsmouth Downtown Waterfront is well maintained and immaculate. Breakfast is OK. The food is industrial grade. In my opinion, this hotel has become complacent, again, at breakfast. The standard, Residence Inn fare breakfast items are OK, but, there are no cut fruit, berries, or fruit cocktail, and no waffle iron, as is standard at many Residence Inn's. I was intrigued by this hotel's latest attempt at "value engineering" at breakfast, the cereal bowls have shrunk in size by about 30% (a staged, mathematical equation, to cause a guest to take less cereal, and to cost the hotel, less money (classic, "value engineering")). Fortunately, the Residence Portsmouth Downtown Waterfront is serving fresh, cooked daily, oatmeal, and has abandoned their previous shenanigans of serving instant oatmeal. In my opinion, this hotel is continuously nickel and diming their breakfast. I just don't get it, Marriott used to pride themselves on their food and beverage. The guest rooms are comfortable. Front Desk staff are largely apathetic. The high point of our stay was the Christmas decor and ambiance, at the hotel; the hotel goes the extra mile to decorate - - tastefully and professionally - - for the season. In summary, the Residence Portsmouth Downtown Waterfront is ideally located, clean, and safe. I am forever intrigued by this hotel's recurring efforts to maintain itself as a mediocre Residence Inn; it seems that the hotel leadership lacks the energy, money, or convictions, to excel; they are simply going through the motions, they demonstrate no commitment to, or passion to excel (traits of an Absentee Landlord, and poor manager).

It was plenty of room for one person but two adults, might feel a bit cramped in the room I was given. A few improvements would easily bump this to a 5 star review. The pros include: - The limited staff were very friendly. - My king room was clean, comfy and quiet. - Parking and breakfast is free. - Great location to walk downtown area. The cons: - I booked my reservation (direct through Hyatt partnership) the day before arrival but upon check-in there were issues it eventually got sorted out. - Elevator is out of order as of mid-March. - Limited staff, so basement bar hours aren't exact. - Room TVs are smart, no cable, so they depend on Internet and my tv lost connection a few times. All in all, the charm of the building and the pros mentioned, far out weigh the few cons. If I ever return to Portsmouth, I'd gladly stay here again.
