I chose this facility to spend Valentines Day Eve with my love because of the down town location and the indoor pool. We came to learn that the pool has been out of service for weeks, and Expedia still advertises a place with a pool to use. The front desk attendant told us the pool “might” be ready around 5pm. Not so much.I was told this reservation is non refundable and so we never got to swim. The whole place stinks like chlorine and the pool is still full of nasty water with a sign that says “no swimming.” The breakfast area is dirty at best and the food looks old and picked at. The room had a dirty toilet and remnants of expectorated toothpaste splattered about the sink and bathroom counter proving the room had not been cleaned prior to our stay. Pretty gross place.

It was my worst experience staying anywhere anytime doors were opening and closing all hours of the night I left at midnight to find a different place to stay sketchy looking people hanging around everywhere ...awful!!!! The front clerk asked why I was leaving I told him didn't seem to bother him at all he said... so you're checking out??? Somebody was playing loud music from 5:00 p.m. till after 10:00 p.m. do not stay there very bad

Friendly staff. Reserved king pool view, had to change rooms, gave me two doubles and the room was 900 degrees. Room was changed without issue. Some things didn’t work quite right in the room. But overall an ok stay.

Picked for the pool, and it did not look ready to use.
Place was dirty, and felt very unsafe. The floor had stains all over it, the sheets had to be ripped off the bed because there were stains on them. Towels had hair on them. Smelt like smoke. Food left at our door was stolen. It was extremely loud outside of our room. We won’t be back.
It was scary because there were loud altercations outside all night and someone banged on our door at 1am looking for someone. It was actually terrifying.

Came here due to sold out options in Portsmouth & pics they posted online. This place could be way better if they put effort into cleaning and renovating (not the cheap route). Get rid of the idle people living there unless that’s the standard you want for the property. The staff was polite amidst complaints and the location is actually great! Was very nervous parking my vehicle there because of the idle and loud people in the back. My room wasn’t too bad it was fairly clean minus the dust, but other rooms were terrible.
He did allow early check in. Our room smelled like someone smoked in it. The pool was closed and that was why we booked there. I smoke alarm went off every 5 minutes until I had enough at 3am and make them take it down. Obviously not much is or was up to code or even looked after on a regular basis. The odor in the place was something I never smelled before. Place was quiet and in downtown that is all I have to say positively. I tried to call the place 10 times no one can answer the phone. After the guy came in to take down the smoke alarm he left his phone in our room. I had to go get it for him.
I should have read the reviews I do not recommend this facility I did not even stay after a friend checked in and said the room was nothing of what the pictures looked like because it was absolutely filthy. The floors were dirty and there was drug addicts hanging out in the front of the hotel. It was absolutely nothing like the pictures online! Very furious!!! I had to pay for a room for 2 nights and was charged over $400 for nothing! I did not did not stay due to the horrid conditions of the rooms. Do not recommend this place for anyone
