Pros:

Das Zimmer war angenehm sauber und trotz der Lage direkt an der Straße überraschend ruhig und völlig frei von Lärmbelastung. Man konnte sich wirklich entspannen und abschalten.
Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich, aufmerksam und herzlich – man fühlte sich sofort willkommen.
Das Frühstück war typisch amerikanisch, mit allem, was dazugehört: warm, unkompliziert, sättigend und genau richtig für einen guten Start in den Tag.

It was ok, but not worth the money.
Pros:

The location was close to shopping and the beds were comfortable. The checkout attendant was very friendly.

Cons:

During check-in, the attendant was rude and appeared as if he didn’t want to be bothered.

Pros:

Relais étape depuis les White Mountains. L'accès au centre-ville de Portsmouth est très facile (en voiture).

Cons:

Les photos du site sont un peu trompeuses. On s'attendait à un complexe avec plus de recul par rapport à la route et un peu plus de verdure. La chambre était sombre et le ménage peut être mieux fait (poussière importante sous les lits).

Uncomfortable and inconvenient.
Pros:

Location was okay.

Cons:

Outdated. I was t too pleased upon entering the room because the pictures aren’t accurate but moved past it. At about 8:30pm as I was lying down, I heard a dripping sound. The ceiling was leaking water steadily on to the corner of the bed. I called the front office and they said “oh yeah, she’s probably showering upstairs”. I waited for about 15 minutes when no one showed up, I made my way to the front desk. I explained what was happening and he again said “they must be showering upstairs”. It seemed as if he was gonna do nothing about it until I told him that it was dripping all over the bed and that I currently had somebody’s dirty bathwater on me because I was laying in the bed when it started to drip. After seeing my obvious frustration with their lack of confidence, I was assigned to another room. The second room looked more like what the pictures described when I made the booking needless to say 0 out of 10 will not stay here again.

Adequate room, a bit noisy
Pros:

I'm not sure if the in-season price is worth it, given that this location is on a highway and fairly noisy, but it was a good deal in April. The room was fine, with a nice supply of in-room coffee, shampoo, lotion, etc. It was just a short drive to Portsmouth and there was easy access to the road to Maine, my destination. I didn't see where the pool was (it would be closed in April anyway) and did not try the breakfast. I appreciated the in-room coffee in the morning.

Cons:

The room was a bit noisy, but suppose that can't be helped on a highway. They put me right next to the office, for some reason (they were not filled) so some rolling suitcase noise outside as well.

Comfy Beds
Pros:

The location is right off the highway and very easy to get to. The parking is good, and almost directly in front of our room. The beds were very comfortable.

Cons:

The nightstand outlets were not working.
