This One Stands Out Above the Rest--History Alone--Checks All the Boxes!
Pros:

We loved it all! Make plans for the Early Bird Dinner at the adjacent Old Salt Tavern/Restaurant...absolutely delicious haddock and beef tips. Breakfast plentiful with lots of nice continental options. Sweetest staff throughout the complex...we enjoyed the vintage games in the sitting landing a floor up. We loved our room--space, cleanliness, bed, amenities...everything was just perfect. Having coffee/coffee options and fresh fruit 24/7 near the check-in desk was extra kind. We LOVED the history of the hotel and know that we chose the perfect one for our foray into Portsmouth and New Hampshire. We just needed more time... (Highly recommend Strawbery Banke, a living history museum that will bring the area alive. You have to experience it to know...and we made a "37th anniversary terrarium" there to bring home, extending the memories long past our visit.) Another great tip: a visit to this grocery for picnic/in room dining...we miss it as much as anything we were blessed to experience in New England! https://www.mckinnonsmarkets.com/

Cons:

Not a thing. It was well-done from start to finish.

Very convenient and friendly pit stop on the way north
Pros:

Location and convenience at a good rate for a pit stop on the way to Maine

Cons:

Overall it was perfectly sufficient and very clean, but a missed opportunity given the location and historic building. Wished it had a bit more charm, given the setting versus the motel-level bedding and breakfast set up.
