This newly renovated property that offers clean rooms a quiet, convenient location with plenty of free parking. The indoor pool is turely unique in its friendly atmosphere complete with greenery. The resturant is one of the better one's in Portsmouth but don't expect ethnic or specialty food. Breakfast is not included but the prices are reasonable a the food uniformly good. The bed was quite comfortable but the bath extremely small- really the toilet looked like it belonged in an old RV! The staff was competent and attentive and although we asked for maid service for our two night stay, only the towels were changed out - bed not made nor was thr garbage taken out. In all the hotel is much better than in most small towns but some of the small details could use some attention.
