A Boutique Hotel in Downtown...

Liked: Hotel Thaxter offers style and comfort in a convenient location in downtown Portsmouth. Our room, while on the small side, had good amenities and a strong shower (always a plus for us). Our overnight stay was quiet and provided good sleep on a solid bed. The two staff members whom we encountered were always helpful and well-informed. Lastly, the small pull-out parking space in the alley beside the hotel provided a convenient spot to unload our luggage and get it into the hotel with ease.
Disliked: Although we used the tight elevator to access our room on the second floor, there was still a set of small set of stairs that these two seniors needed to navigate with our heavy suitcases. We also thought this type of smallish boutique hotel in a historic building should have offered free breakfast, even with limited Continental-style offerings, especially since it boasts an appealing restaurant space on the first floor of the building. Lastly, figuring out where to park our rental car was confusing to us until we were on the ground in Portsmouth (we ended up using the closest pay parking lot that was a block away, was free after 8 p.m. and proved safe, as we were told). The Hotel Thaxter staff was prompt and helpful in providing info on parking via email prior to our stay but their various options were still difficult to assess before our first visit to Portsmouth.
