When we arrived…read morewe were warmly greeted by Andrea as she checked us in and went over the amenities the inn offered and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. There are rooms located in separate buildings and rooms located within the main building. The disadvantage in staying in the main building is the limited view from some of the rooms. The major advantage is the following amenities are located here which include the: * Gym * Pool * Ice maker * Vending machines * Business center * Coffee and tea * Microwave * couches and tables in the lobby area Some rooms are a tad more expensive but it comes with 2 sinks and a larger refrigerator. So check before booking. There is no restaurant located in this inn, but there are plenty in walking distance. Some of the rooms have a 6 inch drop when you step down from the threshold of your door. The rooms are clean, well lighted and the HVAC system works well. Love the inn and the entire staff that works here. Everyone is so nice and personable. Looking forward to stay here again next year.

He jammed his shoulder into safety rail due to a large drop while entering hot tub. The staff including the manager was extremely inconsiderate in how this was handled.

With two weddings in house, there were a lot of demands from guests. Still, reception kept a smile and was always pleasant. There are board games near reception in the lobby that you can borrow as a hotel guest. The lobby includes a comfortable seating area, ATM, merch, entrance to their restaurant and bar, and restrooms are down the hall. An elevator leads up to the floors above where guest rooms are located. They also have guest rooms in two nearby buildings. One of those buildings includes balconies overlooking the ocean. Our room, in the main building had an ocean view if you put a chair next to the window and looked out. The bar and restaurant offers a variety of menu items including salad entrees, beers on tap, full bar, coffee and dessert. We ate there a couple of times during our stay. Staff were well trained and the food is fresh and tasty. The parking lot behind the main building is dirt without 'lines' to get as many cars as possible in so some days there were more spaces than others and we often saw guests circling, waiting for a spot. There are handicap spots there with a dirt/gravel walkway street side, then toward the back entrance where you will find an elevator down the hall to the lobby. Otherwise, there is a short staircase from parking to the back entrance. 'Drop off' at the lobby door is literally 'in the street'. No parking there, just drop off, then circle round to park. Parking is also available in front and back of building #2, a small dirt lot is next to the hotel lawn and a few designated hotel parking spots are street side. Just be sure you are in a hotel spot so you don't get ticketed by the town. Our room was clean, but had an odd smell. I went into town and purchased some essential oil spray and a candle which I used throughout our stay. The original building on this site burned down, so I can't blame the smell on an old building, but it's not exactly new either, and it is by the sea so it may be damp. The room included a small table and two chairs, a coffee/tea area with mini-fridge, and plenty of single use toiletries. We did ask housekeeping for additional hand towels during our visit. The bed and linens were comfortable. Towels soft and absorbent. I shower in the evening and it did take a bit of time for hot water to arrive, but once there, it was plentiful. No complaints about water pressure. We kept the window open for a sea breeze so not sure how the AC performs. The wedding staff were very pleasant and the bride and groom seemed quite happy with their event. A wedding on the lawn overlooking the sea was set up the night before. The ballroom used for reception is lovely with restrooms on site, indoor and outdoor bar and plenty of staff on hand for the open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres. The patio outside was partially shaded. Inside has AC. The plated meals were very good. Other event spaces are available in this building plus guest suites. There is a lawn directly across the street from the lobby with lounge chairs for guests to use. The public beach is down a slight slop from the lawn and is quite large with soft sand and some rocky areas that are good for small kids to search for sea creatures. The town of York is right outside the door with lots of gift shops and restaurants. We enjoyed exploring the town as well as nearby sights.

I stayed August 23-25 with my daughters, ages two and four. It was our first vacation together and…read moretheir first time at the beach -- two nights, close to $1,500. Our room was directly above a wedding reception. The bass came up through the floor and I could hear every song start to finish. My girls normally go to bed at 7:30; they were awake well past ten. I texted the front desk and was told the music would end at ten. Nobody offered to move us and nobody offered anything else. Both girls were exhausted and miserable the next day, which was our only full day here. The dining room and the pub are good -- and that's part of the problem. Both were booked solid, and the people waiting for tables were not hotel guests. Everyone I spoke to had come from somewhere else to eat here. As someone paying roughly $750 a night to stay on the property, I couldn't get a table at my own hotel. If you book a room, book your dinners at the same time, because staying here gets you nothing at the door. Checkout was worse. Valet was required on arrival because of the wedding -- the valet driver and the front desk both told me so -- and nobody mentioned it wouldn't be running Tuesday morning. Our room was in the Meeting House, so I loaded both girls into a double stroller, hung the beach chair and bag off it, put on a full backpack, and dragged a suitcase two blocks to the main building, through second-floor hallways so packed with luggage carts I could barely get the stroller past them. At the desk I was told there was no valet and I'd have to push all of it up the street and around the building to reach my car. No offer of help. I was then directed to second-floor parking access that turns out to have stairs on the other side -- impossible with a stroller -- so we turned around and did it the long way. I wrote to the general manager. Her response is worth knowing if you're considering booking: On the noise: quiet hours begin at 10 PM, the music ended before then, and so guest rooms "including those occupied by families with children" remain available for booking during wedding events. On valet: she said it isn't mandatory. That is not what I was told at the property. On being left to carry two toddlers and all our luggage two blocks, and being sent to a stairs-only door: no response, beyond noting it had been shared with the management team for review. She declined to refund the ruined night and offered $163.50 -- the facility fee plus 10%. If you're traveling with small children, ask whether a wedding is booked the night you're staying, because the hotel's stated position is that they'll put you above it. Ask what happens at checkout. Reserve your meals in advance. The beach is beautiful. Everything else was a fight.

The Residence Portsmouth Downtown Waterfront is a solid Marriott Residence Inn…read more The location of this hotel (NOT to be confused with the Residence Inn at Pease International Airport, also in Portsmouth) is ideal; the hotel is close to everything in downtown Portsmouth. The Residence Portsmouth Downtown Waterfront is well maintained and immaculate. Breakfast is OK. The food is industrial grade. In my opinion, this hotel has become complacent, again, at breakfast. The standard, Residence Inn fare breakfast items are OK, but, there are no cut fruit, berries, or fruit cocktail, and no waffle iron, as is standard at many Residence Inn's. I was intrigued by this hotel's latest attempt at "value engineering" at breakfast, the cereal bowls have shrunk in size by about 30% (a staged, mathematical equation, to cause a guest to take less cereal, and to cost the hotel, less money (classic, "value engineering")). Fortunately, the Residence Portsmouth Downtown Waterfront is serving fresh, cooked daily, oatmeal, and has abandoned their previous shenanigans of serving instant oatmeal. In my opinion, this hotel is continuously nickel and diming their breakfast. I just don't get it, Marriott used to pride themselves on their food and beverage. The guest rooms are comfortable. Front Desk staff are largely apathetic. The high point of our stay was the Christmas decor and ambiance, at the hotel; the hotel goes the extra mile to decorate - - tastefully and professionally - - for the season. In summary, the Residence Portsmouth Downtown Waterfront is ideally located, clean, and safe. I am forever intrigued by this hotel's recurring efforts to maintain itself as a mediocre Residence Inn; it seems that the hotel leadership lacks the energy, money, or convictions, to excel; they are simply going through the motions, they demonstrate no commitment to, or passion to excel (traits of an Absentee Landlord, and poor manager).

Price range was a bit steep and normally not worth it but it was Memorial Day weekend so all the hotels/houses hit the roof on rentals. The parking is supposed to be 1 car a room but that was definitely not the case that weekend as if you left you could not find a space at night when you returned so beware. Some suggestions: The room was clean but would recommend the tub to be re grouted as had started coming off around the rim and in some spots going black. The front desk has limited hours and I noticed that some folks trying to check in late were looking around like they had no idea what to do; perhaps just in case sending folks an email with the plan to get their keys if late. Their website said check in at 3pm but when we got there they asked us to come back for 4pm checkin which was a hassle as traffic that weekend on the strip was bumper to bumper to go anywhere; and they wouldn't let me check in early as my room was not ready. The one good thing is I was able to check out by dropping off the key in their slot as again no one was there in the office.. something I also was not instructed to do so would've been helpful to know that. I would say based on cost, and other items mentioned I would consider staying here again if it was a bit less expensive on a non holiday weekend now that I know what to expect and not pay premium prices for mediocre services. I cannot speak to the pool or courts as we did not use them.
