Check in was a little wonky as no one is present at the "hotel" everything is done through text. The room is a little dingy. Bathroom fan is LOUD and gross. Rug under bed is dirty.

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.

That is why I was so surprised and disappointed by my stay at Hotel Thaxter in Portsmouth. The room was shockingly small, smaller than many I have stayed in in NYC/ Manhattan. The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. The curtain was broken, so light poured in early in the morning. It was also very loud. We could clearly hear street noise, guests talking, and stomping from above. Housekeeping was especially concerning. When we returned, the bed looked as though it had been left halfway through being made, unfinished and careless. Towels were not refreshed, and the in-room water was not refilled. Small details matter. I asked about upgrading to a king suite (was in queen room) and was happy to pay, as larger rooms showed available online. I was told they could not move us even if the difference was paid because I did not book directly through their website and that next time I should book direct. Ironically, those larger rooms sat empty while we remained cramped. Most travelers discover boutique hotels through third-party platforms, so using that as a reason not to accommodate even a paid upgrade felt unreasonable and disappointing. I am giving 2 stars only because the location is excellent and the lobby is cute. Otherwise, this did not live up to the boutique standard at all. I loved my stay at Sailmaker's House last summer; they were booked this weekend hence why we were excited to try hotel Thaxter. I would strongly recommend staying there instead. I would avoid staying here.
