More about Port Motor Inn

Great place to stay

by TripAdvisor Member 1westie

We just spent 5 nights at the Port Inn ,Portsmouth NH--I have never before taken the time to review a hotel. #1 We chose the hotel after reading wonderful reviews,and we certainly weren't disappointed.The staff was wonderful,couldn't have been more helpful..The rooms were CLEAN/COMFORTABLE/ and decorated very nicely..I think equally important the staff has a very neat appearance.I would recommend this place to anyone traveling the Portsmouth area..the continental breakfast had FRESH rolls/pastry---The hotel is off the bypass,but is very quiet..We were very happy with our stay.

Ideal Location

by TripAdvisor Member jpw262

The Port Inn is in an excellent location close to the Interstate. All coastal areas of New Hamshire and southern Maine are easily accessible.
The rooms are spotless and the staff welcoming and helpful. There is a good breakfast selection. There is a nice pool.
We can ceratainly recommend the Port Inn.

Deserves the good reviews!

Don't let the outside of the Port Inn fool you - it looks like a mild-mannered motel, but has been recently redone and looks very sharp on the inside. We also liked having the minibar in our room. Very easy to find and the staff is very attentive and nice.

If I could find a fault (and it's not easy) - they could upgrade their towels to be a little nicer. They were not the same quality as the rest of the room.

Would definitely stay here again, and can recommend with confidence!

friendly, clean hotel.

by TripAdvisor Member scotsonholiday

Just returned from a 3 week trip to New England. Spent the last 5 days at the Port Inn.
Excellent service, friendly and helpful, kids loved the pool and we all enjoyed the breakfasts.
The room was clean and comfortable although was a bit cramped for the 4 of us.

Glad we stayed here!

We just returned home from our little get-away. We stayed at The Port Inn and wanted to say how wonderful it was. The staff at the front desk were extremely friendly, pleasant, and helpful. Our room was very clean and the exterior areas are well maintained.

Our family went to Water Country which is just down the road a couple of miles. We purchased our tickets directly from the Port Inn, saving $9.00 per ticket. We were also able to walk right into the park instead of having to stand in line to purchase our tickets.

We ate at Warren's Lobster House in Kittery, ME which was wonderful. The Port Inn offered a $5 coupon off 2 dinner entrees. (The staff at the front desk also provided us with great directions too!)

Individualized service to all who stay

by A TripAdvisor Member

It has been my pleasure to stay at the Port Motor Inn, Portsmouth, NH, on several occasions. The staff is efficient, friendly and courteous. On two occasions we experienced events unrelated to our stay that necessitated the staff's giving of their time and effort to help us resolve problems. They went above and beyond what would be expected of any business personnel to assist us in meeting our unexpected needs.
They are warm and friendly and we feel like we have a "second home" in Portsmouth, thanks to the way in which we are greeted, treated and accommodated upon every stay.
I highly recommend this attractive, reasonably priced and very "guest friendly" motor inn.

everything you could ask for and more

by A TripAdvisor Member

the port inn is obviously well run, and the manager is obviously a very organized person. there is nothing i can complain about, everything you could ask for was there, cleanliness, decorative, we had a kitchenette in our room, that had everything you would need. there were even bbq grills out by the pool. the lady at the front desk was awesome, wonderful personality and very helpful, you couldn't ask for anything better. they provide a nice continental breakfast, with a very relaxed atmosphere. the location is perfect, just down the road from water country and everything else is nearby. the only thing i guess i could complain about would have been the weather but they just had no control over that. we will definitely stay there again!!

What a beautiful Inn!!!

by TripAdvisor Member frannmatt

Wow! I must admit I've always had reservations about staying again at a place that had doors that opened directly to the outside. It's been decades since I did that and thought all inns were the same quality as a Red Roof Inn. I was convinced for years that I could only stay at Starwood properties that had the heavenly beds and showers. The Port Inn, however, was an amazing surprise. My husband and I absolutely loved it. My husband is ultra sensitive to smoke, so when we walked into our non-smoking room he was immediately in love with it because it was so clean and completely smokefree. The door to the outside probably helped to keep the air fresh actually-way better than the Portsmouth Sheraton where we've stayed in the past. Service and the friendliness of the staff is just like everyone says. Skip greeted us when we arrived and he was such a great guy. Not only professional, but very friendly. (Service at the Sheraton has always been a little snooty and questionable.) Didn't use the pool, but it sure looked inviting and nice to have it in the back where it's more private. Very pretty little courtyard/sitting area in the front of the Inn where you can eat breakfast or enjoy the lights at night. Loved the bathroom with the heat register and cabinet that reminded me of home. Very home-y and comfortable. Will definitely stay again whenever we go back to Portsmouth!

Port Inn Is Great

by A TripAdvisor Member

We loved the quaint Port Inn. The room was spotless as in the bathroom floor sparkled it was so clean. Even the soap they have in the bathroom was great. We would definitly stay there again. The outside was landscaped beautifully. All in all the price was right and we just loved it. Looking forward to going back. Joanne and John.

Don't understand rave reviews

by A TripAdvisor Member

Stayed at Port Inn for 2 days and it is a decent motel, nothing more. I don't understand the non-stop rave reviews of "Above average" and "Excellent".
