Home2 Suites By Hilton Kittery

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time staying at this hotel, and it was immaculate. From the entrance to the bathrooms to the smells in the elevators this place was clean. The front desk was so kind and helpful. They even allowed us to check in earlier than normal check-in time because they had a room available. It was just everything me and my family needed while staying on vacation. The breakfast was wonderful. They had plenty of options and plenty of seating where you could just openly sit and have a good breakfast. They had a lovely gym. It was just a nice experience. I will definitely be going back with my family."

Kittery Inn and Suites

"Amazing personality of this property. Thankful for their help and hospitality."

Foreside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Property was beautiful!! Perfect location to walk downtown. The room was perfect!!"

AC Hotel by Marriott Portsmouth

8/10 Good

"I believe three people called out sick, so our experience at the rooftop restaurant Envio was absolutely terrible. We waited half hour in line just to check in for our reservation. We didn’t get our drinks and appetizers until an hour after ordering. It wasn’t the fault of the staff that was present, but the restaurant should not have been open because they were unable to accommodate guests. We did not remain to order a main course. The rest of our stay at the hotel was fantastic, however."

Amazing harbor/ocean views of Pepperrell Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and location!"
